Fits perfectly on my 2007 Audi A3.
People at etrailer.com were very helpful, nice and professional.
Thank you carol and george for getting me back on the trail again.
Will definitely be my to go place for all my roof rack, bike rack and other accessories.
Thank you again
Rhino rack 2500 with euro bars. Aero crossbars not needed because rack is easily removable when not in use.
13 ft 85 lb fishing kayak 2010 Toyota Matrix. Car has slanting roof and variable thickness roofline. See photo. OEM rack position would make front of kayak point up in the air causing dangerous lift.
Rhino rack provides different length clamps for the slanting/tapering thickness roofline - rack is positioned for level load.
Etrailer excellent website with detailed photos allows easy comparison. Prices and selections better than manufacturer's and other websites.
Customer service is also excellent, they promptly responded to calls/emails even on weekends and made extra effort to get out-of-stock items delivered much faster than expected.
We had the challenge of how to carry 2 kayaks this summer in addition to hauling a 30 foot gooseneck horse trailer. We have F450 crew cab with custom truck bed. We hoped to use the "head ache" bar on the truck bed to support the rear sets of Swagman Rincon supports and purchased a single Rhino Vortex bar for the forward sets on top of the cab. We have 10.5 and 12 foot kayaks and this looks to be an excellent solution. The kayaks are clear of the gooseneck trailer even in a "jackknife" position. Please note the truck bed is extra long therefore there is plenty of room forward the nose of the trailer. We have not hauled yet but will convey any issues if there are any. eTrailer tech support was excellent. Product shipped as projected. Installation took approximatly 3 hours.
I bought the roof rack to carry kayaks back and forth from Pennsylvania to Florida. The rack is solid and performs that task very well. My plan was to take the rack off and on but I decided to just leave it on. I do notice some wind noise since I've added the rack but it does not distract me and I would say that it is not excessive but it is noticeable.
I did have problems during the installation. I mounted the racks on a Ford 250 super duty. And the instructions were very clear as to where the feet that's support the rack where to be installed. Plastic strips are cut and the feet that support the rack on the roof push up to the cut plastic strips and that is what determines placement. I read the instructions several times and had seen an installation on another truck owned by a friend of mine. When I pushed the feet to the proper position I could not attached the clamps from the rack feet to the rain gutter on the truck which holds the whole assembly on the roof. They were too short. I spoke to Etrailer and a consensus was that I had cut the strips correctly. Etrailer's input of course was over the phone and they could not actually see or measure anything that I did. Nevertheless, in order to install the rack I had to move the feet on each side a bit closer to the rain gutter on the truck. I did not think that this would make any difference and based on the performance I have not noticed any problems. I would have given this product and excellent rating if I did not have to deal with the little problem that I had with the fit. As I said I have not taken it off the roof and I reach up and check it now and then and it's as solid as the day I put it on.
This review covers the Rhino Rack 2500 Vortex Aero crossbars and associated parts (DK284, RRRLKVA, RRVA137S-2) for a naked roof installation on a 2018 Honda CR-V.
Very solid racks. We just took our first trip using them and the didn't budge. As recommended, a few days after installing, I tightened the bolts a bit. I'm not sure they needed it--just a little insurance.
The installation process was clear, but fairly detailed. It would be easy to miss a step, so take your time. Also, I tried a couple shortcuts in the order when installing on the car, but had to back track. So, go in the order they give you.
The racks easily supported our filled "pod" and a couple surfboards, strapped side-by-side. Sorry, no photos of the rack loaded. One thing to watch out for is that our old Thule pod almost didn't fit because of the thickness of the racks. I had to loosen the bolts almost entirely.
Of note: I feel that although I followed the measurements to the millimeter, the fit on our 2018 Honda CR-V wasn't exact. Where the pads sit on the roof of the car didn't align perfectly. I could have adjusted this by just re-trimming the rubber pads that go in the channels, but it's not a big deal, so I just left it.
Finally, I do have one concern. The angle of final installation doesn't really protect the racks from theft very well. The plastic plate that locks over the screw would allow someone with the proper tool to get up under it and loosen the bolts. That being said, someone so inclined could also just break the little plastic door or drill a hole in it to access the bolt. So, I guess it's just a deterrent anyway.
Overall, I'm very happy with the racks and etrailer.com! Despite shipping delays due to Covid-19, they were able to get the racks to me in time for an upcoming trip. I did choose to expedite shipping, but the cost was very reasonable.
Fits well. Using RhinoRack system for ladders. Residential Light Construction. I made my own air deflector.lol
Solid all around and easy to mount. This was a good choice for my needs.
Hi George from etrailer,
The rack is awesome! Strong, firm hold and nice looking. When doing surveys, I put my ladders on the rack.
I highly recommend this etrailer.
I'm very happy that Rhino Rack builds roof racks to accommodate a large variety of vehicles. Trying to fit a rack to my 22-year-old Chevy pickup with a naked roof was a challenge. Fortunately, the people at etrailer are extremely knowledgeable and were able to get a direct fit. The rack fits awesome and will help in an upcoming road trip. Thanks Alex and etrailer team.
I couldn't find a rack to fit my car anywhere, I have been looking for years and just found Rhino rack on the Internet a few weeks ago.
The Rhino rack for my Toyota Camry is perfect! Easy to assemble, good quality parts, fits really well. Can't wait to get my canoe out on a lake thanks finally to this rack!!
Excellent
Work as expected. Nice fit. I have not removed to see if and marking has occurred but judging from materials I do not expect and issues.
Took the rack off of my Tacoma and needed the adapters to fit my cmax. Works fine.
etrailer was especially helpful in helping me find a roof rack for my Ford CMax. It arrived exactly when they said it would and directions to install were easy to understand and specific for my car! They were awesome!
Following the directions the roof rack went on without any issues. About an hour to put on. The rack is well made and sturdy.
I like these bars! Look great and rock solid on my car. No noise above what my tires already make.
They look great and we’re easy to install. Took me about a slow hour to put it all together. Delivery was two days early too!! I love it and can’t wait to use it. Secured really nicely and easy to adjust as needed.
Fast shipping, great price, and has been working great!
It arrived when it should. The parts were all there. The directions were clear each step. It took me about 3-4 hours (stopping, starting) to get it together for the 1st time. Now that the crossbars are together & decals set for placement w/o having to measure again (SOOOPER helpful), I can install / remove the bars in less than 10 minutes.
Fits my 2013 Ford C-Max Energi perfectly and seems quite sturdy and durable. Installation was a bit confusing because some of the markings on the parts were extremely faint and difficult to see. But once I figured out what each part was, the process was pretty straightforward. All in all this is an exceptional deal for a product that more than adequately replaces what the big name brands (T***e or Y****a) have to offer and and a much more affordable price.
Also, etrailer.com was a great company to do business with. The price was right, the shipping was extremely fast, and the customer service was absolutely the best.

I have had the rack for a year now and to be perfectly honest, my original review is still dead on. I have absolutely zero complaint about this rack. I dont leave the rack on all the time, so Im attaching and removing it on a regular basis. Its easy to use and rock solid for carrying bikes. Ive used it with no issues with 3 bikes, even fairly heavy mountain bikes.
This roof rack kit is a high-quality product that shows good design and application engineering. It is far sturdier than one I installed on my wife's car. When carrying a load of lumber at least equal to the rated capacity, there was no deflection of the cross rails and the unit never budged at highway speeds.
There were not many models that explicitly were said to fit a 2015 Ford C-Max (US version), so I bought these. The one-time assembly chore required time and attention, but the instructions are excellent. Read the instructions through several times before you begin (as is always a good practice). Once complete, I found the fit to be excellent. Removal and re-installation after the initial setup is simple. The very clever "torque wrench" supplied with the kit makes sure re-installations are tightened properly.
I took off one star because they are quite expensive, so value for money isn't excellent. If you want a cheap thing to use infrequently, these probably aren't what you want. That said, the units show no signs of deterioration after a year on the car, so you are buying quality. If you leave yours on the car between uses as I do, lubricate the locks and working hardware every six months or so.

These units are still solid as a rock. In the salt air environment here, some of the black paint has come off, but the metal underneath has not rusted yet. This is really very good durability for a climate such as ours, where I have had stainless steel products rust in a few weeks or months. In most situations I can envision, you will be happy with the quality and function of this product.
Good value over yakima which i ordered initially. Would recommend for light use...I put kayaks, yakima rocket box and bikes up there.

Great product! Very sturdy! However, the rack hangs over the door further than desired and I have hit my head multiple times. I accept responsibility after the first time, but man does it hurt like crazy!! If the rack was just a few inches shorter on either side I never would have to worry about it.
