Best 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Roof Racks

I have a 2018 jeep grand Cherokee Overland. I wanted a roof rack so I could put a car top carrier for my next trip home to the East Coast. I really liked how the fit kit went on using the mounting screw holes for the original factory rails. I also like that this kit came with lock washers so I did not have to use Loctite on the screws. Once assembled it was solid and looks great. One thing the directions do not tell you is that you should not tighten the screws on the feet themselves until you insert the crossbars. Those last two screws also pull down on the connector that holds the bar in place. As usual each trailer had the best price and the fastest shipping. That’s why they’re my go to.

I've always trusted Thule bars. I have an old Xsporter on my truck that works really well and it has held up over time. I needed to get a Thule rack for my Jeep Grand Cherokee and found that etrailer had all the parts I needed specified for my model. That was one of my favorite things about the site. No need to search around for the different parts to attached onto the factory rails. Once I received the rack and components, it was really easy to install. I pretty much watched the etrailer videos before hand. I have the older Hullavator 897XT to haul my kayak in. With the WingBar Evo, I found I needed to get a slightly longer bolt (6-1.00 x 30), which I got from the local Ace hardware store, to attached the Hullavator support bracket to the WingBar. Once I got those bolts set up, I was on the water with the kayak the next day. Talked to the customer service a few times and they are great friendly people. And I can understand what they are saying.

Recently installed RVP27 cross bars on my '18 GC Trailhawk. Package was missing one vortex generating strip, which was immediately shipped. Install took about an hour. Instructions were detailed and easy to follow. No wind noise up to 75mph! Primary use will be to transport a 8'6" surfboard

Um....this whole experience couldn’t have been any better. When you spend $600+ on ANYTHING, especially online when you can’t put your hands on it, you gotta feel real good about committing. From entering my vehicle details to searching through recommended products AND the installation videos for my specific ride....wow. And on top of that it arrived in 1.5 days from half way across the country. A++++

Easy to read instructions, easy to install. Watched the install video a few times just to be sure! They do whistle a bit at highway speeds, but certainly not unbearable. In fact, I was surprised as to how quiet they are. It's to be expected, especially when paired with kayak j-racks. So happy with this purchase and I would definitely recommend them!

Purchase for a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee, black rails. Perfect fit.

Easy to install. Not impressed with the fit though. The biggest selling point is being able to remove the towers and leave the pad though. Overall happy with the purchase.

The landing Pad 18 was very easy to install on my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and fit up nicely with my Yakima SkyLine towers.

Very easy to use!

Got a 2020 Grand Cherokee with the black metal roof side rails. I had planned on using the 60" Aerobars with the 460R pedestals, but oddly the bar didn't have long enough mounting points. So after talking with these folks, I opted for the 480R instead. While they 'technically' worked, the rack sat way in front of the factory rails. I did a LOT of talking with Thule and others and finally opted to get the 69" Probars. They work with the 460R pedestals, fit into the factory side rails and while I did have to get them cut down to 60", have enough room for everything I need to mount. So, my only compliant is that both Thule and etrailer don't seem to have the Probars listed as an option for the Grand Cherokee. They are the best option, especially if you have a Hullivator. And they look great!

Greg S was awesome! I was on quite a few different manufacturer websites trying to figure out the best solution for my sons Jeep Grand Cherokee . He’s a snow boarder and we wanted to get him the complete roof rack solution. I came across the etrailer site and noticed they had sales and tech support . Greg answered the phone and helped me determine the best solution. He took the time to send me links for everything Called me back later that night to assist with my order placement . He even emailed me to let me know when it arrived and to follow up. Very pleased with the entire process. We will install after the holidays and I’m confident if I need any help they will be there for us!

Seems fine.

These bars are outstanding. They were purchased for a Jeep grand cherokee '18. I had previously purchased from another brand, but the whistle noise was constant and very noticeable. These are completely quiet, I am glad I changed to the yakima bars. Installation was also much easier, and more "flush" mounting with the yakima brand. Glad to do business with etrailer!

Great bars. It's my second pair. Both on jeep Grand cherokee. The pair I put on my 2015 overland didn't whistle at all. This pair I put on my 2020 trailhawk whistled starting at 20mph and changed pitch throughout the acceleration process and while causing. I bought a fairing and the problem is solved. At least for now. I put the fairing on wit the label in. Looks better and Rhino Rack isn't paying me to advertise. The fairing they recommended seemed small but works so go with whatever they recommend.

I ordered the Yakima roof rack, with the Hullyrollers for the back crossbar and the Mako saddles for the front crossbar to use with my kayak. It arrived just like they told me and I put them on my car the eveningit arrived. Got to finlly use the roof rack on June 22 to go out kayaking and it worked great. Only thing is I did not know about the air reflector piece for the front crossbar. Now I will be ordering it to help with the wind noise.

Great rack, go on fast, easy to install and work well on my VW TDI wagon. Care has to be given and follow the instructions for the install to what type of rails you have. Works great carrying the VW luggage carrier and plan on using it to carry kayaks as well. Just have not decided what kayak rack type to get yet.

Awesome product! Fits like a glove on my 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited X. There is a slight whistling noise, but otherwise couldn’t be happier with the overall package!

Fit my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the appropriate other feet and bars that the site listed. Install took about 2 hours total. The 'VA' measurement for feet position was about 9mm total off from a perfect fit, so I re-positioned them and it fit snug and looks GREAT. Hoping to get some use out of the rack soon.

Excellent quality rack adapter. I have used Inno products for a number of years and they are just as good as Thule or Yakima and lower in price. I am using these feet with a square bar system I have had for years. Got a new vehicle with different rails and was please that there were adapters available from Inno.

This Inno rack is a sturdy, basic rack. What I like best about it: - It actually mounts to the roof tracks on my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee (with the INTR132 fit kit), instead of to hard points on the roof like many other racks. - It lets me use my Thule bars and accessories because Inno and Thule bars are the same size. - It was much less expensive than the other racks I looked at. - It is pretty easy to put on and take off. What I don't like as much: - The locking covers that go over the towers are pretty flimsy, and look like they are on crooked even when installed correctly - This rack is quite noisy on the Grand Cherokee, but I think that's just the nature of the rectangular bars. (But since it is easy to take off, I plan on only putting it on the car when needed). Also, thanks to the folks at etrailer for helping me figure out what would work best for my needs!

This kit adapts the crossbar legs to my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Top quality parts, excellent fit with clear, easy to follow instructions. Measurements are included in this kit for ideal roof placement of the legs.

I had been looking a very long time for a roof rack for my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I wanted round or tubular crossbars, different from the “air foil” style, which were the only kind available from the factory and the many imitators. I finally found etrailer, and these fit the bill perfectly. The attachments fit the rails just like the factory model, and hold the rectangular cross bars firmly. A sturdy and solid product. And even with free shipping they arrived the morning of the second day after I ordered them, in time for the trip I was planning to take with them.

The small square plates had defective threads. Plus, it was difficult to get the legs lined up with the crossbars. I could not tighten the crossbar bolts in place due to lack of space. I had to remove the crossbars to tighten the assembly.

I bought this kit because I already owned a pair of Thule “square “ crossbars. When in place the rack is super solid. However, it has some issues. It is quite difficult to attach the legs to the base plate on the factory rails. It doesn’t click on and off. Quite annoying. A fiddly two person job. Also the wind noise is very noticeable. Also annoying.

One bar slid out on our first road trip. The "grip" that it slides into can't be adjusted. I am in communication with Yakima about this as Etrailer said that's the route that I would need to go. Very frustrating.

From start to finish, the folks at etrailer -- and I spoke to several people there, so it was a consistent corporate vibe -- were fantastic to deal with. There were delays in getting my product that were on the supplier side and out of etrailer's control, yet etrailer folks kept me up to date and also worked on a customized solution. My goal was to be able to carry my surfboard on the roof of our 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe to the beach more than 3 hours away. But the particular model we had had no existing racks, no recessed areas, nothing to fix racks to. Not even the dealer had a solution. I was sh*t out of luck. But etrailer hooked me up. The racks did take me a while to put on, but most of that time was fine tuning to reduce “hum” while driving. I’m very happy with them. Thanks to etrailer, I have gone surfing and can go surfing whenever I'd like to.

Roof rack crossbars fit my 2006 Jeep nicely. The 50” bar just fit, and some people may prefer he 58” bars to make mounting to the raised side rails a little easier. It took me a few tries to get the positioning set just right with the 50” bars. The advantage is not having 4” of bars sticking over the doors where tall people could hit their head.

received the racks very quickly they installed within an hour and they look great. I put them on a 2005 jeep grand cherokee.

Easy to install. No noticeable noise from the bars. Seem to be very sturdy.

The 50” jetstream cross bars were perfect for my 2019 Ford Ranger with my ARE cap. They are paired with the Yakima Skyline towers and appropriate landing pads (protip: call etrailer when you order to ensure you have the correct setup;) These cross bars are SILENT on my cap. Zero wind noise. My daughter and I installed them on a Friday (I do recommend watching etrailer’s installation video in addition to the paper instructions) and left for a 700 mile weekend road trip the next day to pick up a kayak, paddle with friends downstate then drop her off at summer camp. Even with empty Yakima Jaylows on top, no wind noise. Even with a boat in the Jaylows, no wind noise. These are the sweetest rack’s I’ve had. With the Skyline towers and landing pads, they are also easy to take off and put on. Click click done. They look good, too;) etrailer customer service for the win, too. When I originally ordered, I did not order all the items I needed for installation. When I realized this, I called and they got me squared away.

Ordered a full (naked) roof rack package with snowboard/ski attachment. Items arrived as described. Set-up was simple and flawless. Instructions are fairly clear & simple. A paper tape measure is included. No issues with fitment.Purchased the fairing to reduce wind noise and it works perfect! No excessive wind noise whatsoever -- can open sunroof comfortably if I wanted to. Have not yet put my snowboards inthe attachment yet, but do not foresee any issues. Roof rack is on a 2015 Infiniti Q40 (G37 sedan 2009-2015).

Bought these for my 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The only problem I discovered is that I should have ordered the 47" version. The 53" version sticks out the side much more than I like. I bought the 53" version thinking that I needed that length to accommodate putting a 48" sheet of material on top. The install was actually very simple.

Thule rack looks great on my Kia Telluride. The pieces took a while to get to me because they were on backorder but it's not etrailer, they were on backorder everywhere. I messed up a piece of the rubber while installing and etrailer sent me another one free of charge. Would definitely recommend etrailer.
