The Ford Transit Connect single lock down ladder rack, SKU 5VA-1T, is an aluminum roof-rack option for 2010–2013 vans, carrying ladders above the vehicle's cargo area. A curb-side quick-release mechanism distinguishes this early-body Transit Connect version from the base and double lock-down models.

Support channels and ladder positions

• Two 3¾-inch-wide flat aluminum support channels.
• Four brackets for roof mounting.
• One curb-side ladder lock-down mechanism.
• Side tubes and curb-side ladder/cargo positioners.

The two flat channels and side tubes form the supporting layout; the single lock-down position is on the curb side. Check the ladder dimensions against that arrangement before ordering.

Mounting and choosing the right configuration

The brackets mount to the vehicle roof. Drilling is required for this installation. The rack has a powder-coated finish. Made in the USA.

Before ordering, match the vehicle year, roof construction and mounting space with this specific rack. Check the dimensions of the ladders you plan to carry and how they will be secured. Positioners and side tubes do not replace the required load restraint. A numeric capacity is not published in this listing; confirm the applicable rack and vehicle limits before use.
