Strong and easy set up. Pace Edwards Ultra Trac cover will NOT accept this system even though rhino-rack claims it will. Only if you modify the plates that slide into the track. They’re too wide. I swapped mine out for this to fit my roll top.

Aside from the initial setup this rack has been fantastic. It carries two large mountain bikes with Thule bike racks that slide into the channel. Carries bikes perfectly. Strong system.



by:

Fit my F150 Lightning perfectly (on the RetraxPro XR). Went with the 65” bar so to avoid the larger overhang with the 71” bar. Very pleased with rhino rack - solid design, easy to install, and a great value. Added 15mm spacers to ensure clearance of the tonneau latch mechanism under the cross bar. Paired with 1up bike racks.



by:

I installed this on a Retrax Pro XR tonneau cover mounted to a 2020 Ford Ranger. My intention is to use this rack for a rooftop tent and for more options to haul things above the rack. I considered the Yakima Outpost system, but chose the Rhino-Rack due to the lower height and much lower cost. I also liked the option to easily remove the bars when not in use.

Installation would have been very easy except that one of the Retrax track slots seemed to be a little smaller than the other. The square mounting plates that slide into the track slot would only go so far before getting stuck. I ended up having to use a Dremmel tool to grind down the edges of the mounting plates to get them to fit into the track.

When opening the Retrax cover, I found the handle will not clear the bottom of the rack when fully open - had to push it down a little to clear the rack. No big deal, just be aware.

Overall very pleased with the rack. It looks good, easy to remove when I don't need it, and should suit my needs.



by:

Just completed my installation of the Rhino Rack on my 2018 Chevy Colorado. I have been researching for a railing system for a about a year and decided to go with
etrailer.. I have purchased a couple of items prior and was very pleased.

I called Crystal who was very knowledgeable with the product and decided to move forward with my purchase.

Thank you for help

Works very well with my Retrax bed cove r!



by:

We have had these on our service truck for two years. They have been great.



by:

Got those installed and they look good



by:

This rhino rack definitely looked repackaged from what I’m to only guess was a careless return. I haven’t even used the product and during install it was apparent from the visable scratches and missing “vortex rubber strips.” I hope etrailer can make right by this shortcoming.

I sincerely apologize that the roof rack bars arrived scratched and that the strips are missing. I will send this information to our shipping department and have our customer service team reach out to you.



by:

You guys did greats getting it to me. Couple of things are the mounting hardware got rusted out just after a few days. So I have to remove rack and hardware when not in use (can’t just cap the feet) or else it rust more and leaves rust stains on my track system. Other then that racks them selves work great.



by:

Great product and great support by etrailer. I use the Rhino-Rack crossbar system with a Rockymounts bike mount on my 2021 Ford Ranger. Rock solid and it looks very nice



by:

When I upgraded my pickup and added a Retrax tonneau cover I needed to change out my rack system for hauling bicycles and kayaks. The Rhino Rack system was noticeably cheaper than anything Yakima had so I gave it a try. It attaches easily and looks like it will work well.



by:

Love the Rhino Rack Crossbars! Easy to install and remove. Thank you again Etrailer!



by:

Reliable, well made, has held up well in AZ and now in CO. I don’t leave them on the truck every day, they live in the garage until they are needed. When we moved I carried three bikes on them from Arizona to Colorado without an issue. Quiet, no rattle, easy to assemble and secure.



by:

Love the crossbars. Super easy to install and work great.



by:

There was no instructions in the box but nothing a few [online] videos couldn't solve. I am happy with the product, but not happy with the way it was shipped.



by:

Staff was friendly, informative. They got my order delivered on time. Will definitely consider etrailer for all my truck needs!



by:

Everything in order. Easy to install.

  • Recommended Crossbars for a RetraxPRO XR Tonneau Cover
    The 71" Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax XR Tonneau Covers item # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 are the correct set for your 2022 Ram 3500. These are made for full size trucks and fit in the rails of the Retrax PRO XR. These crossbars are exactly 71" long and won't extend past the side of your truck. They have a 220 lbs capacity. These are currently in stock as of 12/10. I have linked a picture below so you can see what they look like installed. The 65" Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax...

  • Correct Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series Tonneau Cover
    I have an alternate option for you. But no, the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Thule and Yakima Tracks # Y01-120B-NT would not work with a Retrax cover with the t-slot system. If your Retrax XR Series Tonneau Cover is on a compact or mid-size truck, you will want to use the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series Tonneau Covers # RRVA165B-RRRLT600. If your Retrax XR Series Tonneau Cover is on a full size truck, you will want to use the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax...

  • Will The Rhino Rack Vortex Fit The T-Slots Of A Pace edwards Ultragroove Tonneu Cover
    The Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax XR and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 hasn't been tested to fit with the t-slots for a Pace Edwards Ultragroove tonneau cover and confirmed to fit. That being said the only thing that could hold you back would be the size of t-bolt plate that slips into the t-slot of the cover so if it didn't fit you could just simply swap it out or trim the plate down to slide into the t-slot. Personally, I prefer the versatility you'd...

  • Picking Between 65 and 71 inch Rhino Rack Crossbar Setup for Retrax XR Tonneau
    What I would do is go out to your truck and measure out 71 inches and 65 inches on a tape measure and compare that to the width of your bed. If you think the 71 inch looks better and would suit your needs then that's what you would want to go with part # RRVA180B-RRRLT600. If instead you'd prefer the 65 inch you'd want the part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600. As long as neither extends out past your mirrors you'd be safe to use either.

  • What Rhino-Rack Crossbars are Compatible w/ a RetraxOne XR Hard Tonneau Cover?
    The RetraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover item # RTX57YR weighs 25 lbs. It is confirmed to fit the 6-1/2' bed length of the 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500. There are two options for Rhino-Rack crossbar kits that are compatible with the t-slots on the RetraxONE XR. I have listed them below: 71" Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax XR Tonneau Covers item # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 65" Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax XR item # RRVA165B-RRRLT600

  • Will Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars Work with Roll-N-Lock Tonneau Covers
    Yes, the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax XR and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers are compatible with a Roll-N-Lock Tonneau Cover that have the MaxTrak System. The tracks are the same as the ones on other tonneau covers so there will be no compatibility issues. Please note, if you have a mid side truck like a Canyon you'll need part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 or if you have a full size truck like a Sierra you'll need part # RRVA180B-RRRLT600.

  • Which Size Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for PowertraxPRO XR
    Looking at the 2019 Ram we installed these on I'm guessing the 71" bars are what you need but I would measure just to be sure. Run a tape measure across the bed of your 2024 Ram to see what the best size would be for your application. If the 65" bars give you enough space and overhang based on the t-slot from the rails then get the # RRVA165B-RRRLT600. If the 71" bars seem better then use the # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 instead.

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Carrier for an ARE Camper Shell
    If the ARE Camper Shell already has a set of tracks installed then you can use the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 along with two sets of the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier part # S512 in order to carry up to two kayaks. This system will be quiet due to the aero shaped crossbars and easy to load due to the j-style cradles that don't require you to use as much of your arms to get the kayaks into position. If you don't already have a set of tracks installed...

  • How To Add Crossbars To A Pace Edwards UltraGroove Tonneau Cover On a Toyota Tacoma

This system comes with black, 65" long aero crossbars that have the top channel for any channel mounted accessories.

    I have a great solution for a rack that works with the rails on your Retrax XR tonneau cover on your 2018 Ford F-150. Unfortunately, the Track Mount RLTP Legs for Rhino-Rack RTC- and RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks - 2" Tall # RLTP-2 will not fit the Retrax XR rails. However, Rhino-Rack does make legs that are designed to fit the Retrax XR rails. Those are the Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - RTC and RT Roof Rack Tracks # RRRLT600. Sadly, with these legs, you will not...

    When using the RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover w/ Trax Rails - Retractable - Aluminum - Matte # RTT-80245 the locking handle will not interfere with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers - Black - 65" Long # RRVA165B-RRRLT600. They are specifically designed to work together, so it won't interfere with the function at all.

  • Recommended Tonneau Cover and Rack to Carry 3 Kayaks with 2018 F-150 5-1/2 Bed
    The RetraxONE XR # RTT-60373 and the Rhino Rack # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 crossbars and a carrier like the Thule Stacker, part # TH830 could be used for the purpose you described, but because the kayaks you'll be carrying are twice as long as the truck bed you'll have half of each kayak hanging off of the rear of the truck, which means that less than half of the length of the kayak will secured by the carrier.

    Yes, it is! I took a look at the Roll-N-Lock M-Series XT cover that fits your 2021 Chevy Colorado. Since it has the integrated T-Slot rails you can install the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars item # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 you were looking at. These have a 220 lbs capacity. For a bike rack you can use the Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack item # RRRBC050. This is a wheel mounted bike rack that has a 45 lbs capacity. It fits bikes with 20" - 29" wheels and is our highest capacity bike rack that mounts...

So if you wanted to add a 3rd crossbar you could use those legs and another 65" Black Vortex Crossbar # RRVA165B. The "fit kit" part of the legs all come with covers no matter which leg kit you get.

We also have the 65" version that will also fit if you are looking for a shorter setup. That is the # RRVA165B-RRRLT600.

This is true because Retrax helps to manufacture some of the components for the Ford tonneau covers.
