Transit Safari Rack

Was psyched to get it quick, ordered in a rush, installed, loaded up and left on 4000+ round trip from Utah to Michigan. Solid rack, solid ladder. nice work FVCO!

We installed the safari rack and ladder at my friend's warehouse utilizing their forklift and warehouse space which was very helpful. We've already used the ladder for a couple camping trips and we use it frequently for sporting events for my kids. Sitting on the roof is AMAZING and you get a nice breeze and view compared to sitting on the ground. The rack and ladder essentially expanded our living area!

I went with this rack primarily because they had it in stock and others were months out. It arrived on time and in a solid crate. Instructions were okay, better information online from folks who have installed it. Cutting the whole for my fan was fairly easy, though I ended up cutting it a little tight and had to grind on it for a bit to make it fit. It bolted up to my 2020 Transit without a problem and the brackets for the awning worked as advertised. I am pretty happy with the end result, though it does make some noise when traveling at highway speed. I wish I had ordered the side ladder, it's a ling way up to the roof!

Yes/.

Aside from the fact that FVCO has these solid racks in stock, which is huge in today's world, the safari rack (and ladder) can't be beat. A friend with a bobcat was able to get the huge pallet off the truck, lift the rack into place with straps, and we bolted it to our new Transit with no problems - total time was about 2 hours, which included some BS'ing. The rack is exactly what we needed for our professional off-road cycling team - it's going to provide a great lookout point, hold extra gear, maybe a tent, and definitely some light bars and a Fiamma awning. And the best part of all - the communication with the company was continuous, friendly and reliable. Hoping they come out with some more products for us to buy! Thanks FVCO 🤟🏼 (btw - also adding Method wheels, rear door spare wheel mount, brush bar with receiver)

IT’S SOLID! Had it for two months now. It’s everything you want in a platform that sits on top of your van. Sturdy enough to watch the fireworks from on the 4th of July. With the rails around it, it’s Easy to load up with tents, chairs and tables for camping. Having the L-track connection points make it very user friendly. Hooking straps around the side rails is okay, but using the L track connectors is the way to go. You can move your straps almost anywhere on top of the rack and have an extremely solid tie down point. You can buy them on amazon in packs of 10 for about $20. I tried a few but I like these the best.. Brand is Gripon (Single Stud L-Track Fitting with D Ring for L Track/Airline) Bought a couple of low profile chairs from REI to sit on top of the deck - great venue for reading or computer work. I can’t say enough good about the safari rack - so happy I purchased it! Also, Very happy with FVC.. going to order Fiamma awning next.
BTW- it took 3 guys to position it on top of my Ford 2020 AWD XLT Van. Took us about 3 hours to complete everything from beginning to end. We took it very slow - did not want a single scratch on my new van.
