Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards
Great product at a great price. Fit an adult snowboard, two sets of adult skis (one set stacked, one set side by side because of how close the bindings were to the roof), and a set of youth skis. Fit snug. Only got up to about 73mph on the highway, but no issues. Some normal fluttering on the snowboard/skis. If you have a torque meter to tighten the bolts that's ideal but I didn't. I just got them snug enough to where I pulled back and forth on the rack and it didn't move.
Works awesome with the snowboards, easy to attach/detach, and durable. Locks and holds fine, initial ordering was confusing and hard to figure out since it’s not a package, and had to get individual components. Rhino rack could definitely improve that! Otherwise it would be 5 star.

Yakima FreshTrack 4 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
I love this ski rack and the service I got while making the purchase from etrailer! This rack securely holds up to 4 pair of skis and is super easy to put on and take off of the roof. I would highly recommend this rack to anyone. I would also highly recommend purchasing this product and any other rooftop rack needs from etrailer
We added two more racks to the two we already had on our Jeep. Easy to install and use

Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
Decent rack for the money. The locks are a bit finicky due to the metal/composite combination. They definitely require graphite lubricant regularly. I've only used it with 2 pair of skis and it works well.
Howzit etrailer.com & staff. the rack itself is sturdy and more aero than comparable units. For my 2017 Subaru Crosstrek (OEM) Aero Bars, it was necessary to shim the (rear) lower/leading edge clamp assembly with two 1/8” x 1.5” x 1.5” (EPDM) rubber pads. The bars are shaped like a wing – and these shims helped to level the rear rack with the one in front. Overall - it looks very clean and functional. I might screw on some rubber ends over the ends of the mounting bolt to complete the project. Time to make some turns. Thank you!!

Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 3 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
etrailer ships fast and has great prices! While the rhino track is plastic and not fancy, I’m able to attach 2 snowboards and it works. You have to help it with the hand to get it aligned to lock (maybe due to new stuff rubbers?) but I’m pretty happy and took about 15 minutes to install. If you want something on the cheaper side, this is a great option and these guys will ship FAST
We bought these to go alongside a roof box and they work great, freeing up space in the roof box for all the other stuff you need for skiing. They are sturdy, don't wobble on our Thule bars, and the lock mechanism works well. They would fit 3 pair of x-country or narrow alpine skis; with wider alpine skis you only get 2 pair (there is about 300mm of room on the rack and while many skis are <100mm underfoot, they are 15-35mm wider at the widest part so you can only fit 2 pair).

Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 2 Pairs of Skis or 4 Fishing Rods
This rhino product was the perfect solution for me. With a roof rack nearing capacity, I still wanted an accessory for my fishing rods AND ski’s. This rhino product filled that need! Super easy to install in the T-track. Thanks agan!
Last year I purchased Rino ski racks from etrailer and they work great . The hardware fit my roof racks and all the fittings are tight. Ordering was easy. Shipping was fast and I even got a follow up personal email from George a year later asking how I liked them - which was impressive! I would definitely recommend etrailer as an honest and good outdoor gear company!

Inno Ski and Snowboard Roof Rack - Dual Angle - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards

Kuat Grip Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Slide Out - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Black
These rack are great, I have them on both of my SUVs all winter. The etrailer seevice was excellent as well.
Rack works great. Slide out makes loading and unloading much easier. So far we only put five pairs of fat skis on. Might have room for one more pair if I closed the gap between pairs but we didn’t need six pairs for that trip. Only problem was the rack froze up after driving through fresh rain. We had no problems with freezing while driving through salted slush. So far we’ve used it on two longer ski trips to CO from AZ. It’s quiet and strong. We once had a cheaper rack release our top model, expensive, skis onto the highway at 65 mph. That’s why I bought a Kuat.

Yakima FatCat EVO 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Black
Just got my Yakima Fatcat EVO 6 ski carrier (black finish) and I am stoked. Note that this is different than the Fatcat 6 (non-EVO, previous generation) carrier. This is my first ski carrier, but I and/or my kids ski about once a week at Alta and Snowbird when the lifts are running, so I expect it to get lots of use. Etrailer shipping was fast and item was packed in a sturdy secondary box. PROS: 1. I love the sturdy build and quality finish of the carrier. 2. The design allows many micro-adjustments to fit to your vehicle and to fit the skis. For instance the spring-loaded hinge on one end and the lock on the other end can naturally accommodate different thickness skis. 3. Carrier has a usable width (i.e. width of skis side by side) of 32.75 inches (832 mm). For those that are not skiing on 75-mm-wide skis from 30 years ago, this carrier might actually allow you to fit 6 pairs! 4. Separate mounting brackets for aero or for square/circle cross bars. The aero brackets fit securely on my Acura/Honda OEM cross bars. The flat part of your skis will be about 3 inches (76 mm) above your cross bars. 5. A built-in lift bracket that lifts by an additional 3 inches (76 mm) the hinged end of the carrier, if you have really tall bindings (I don't think I'll need to use it). 6. The aero brackets use a rubber coated steel strap to wrap under your cross bars. This strap has a quick release cam on one end that can be operated when the carrier is not key-locked. This means you can remove or install the carrier without tools in about 4 minutes, once you've done the initial install-related tuning. While the carrier seems sturdy enough to leave on the vehicle all winter, I expect I'll only install it on ski days. This feature really sets this model apart and for me was its biggest selling point. 7. Yakima packages the carrier in a nice-looking sturdy cardboard box with a flap lid. I can fit the two parts of the carrier in the box, with the brackets/straps still installed, for convenient storage (see picture). CONS: None so far, though I haven't yet actually hauled skis up the mountain! After this ski season is over and eTrailer asks me for a follow-up review, I'll let you know. I'm also thinking about seeing if the ski carrier can be attached to my small hitch-mounted cargo carrier. That would make loading and unloading the skis easier than on the roof.
First off...you can't beat the service of etrailer.com. I was looking for a ski rack for my son's 2012 Subaru Impreza with the factory roof rack (base model not the sport). I could find no reviews of anybody installing one of these on one of those. I took the plunge and will say that I am very happy with the outcome. The installation is a bit tricky and four hands help, but after the first one was installed we had the hang of it and the second one went on very quickly. Even with the expedited shipping this rack was about $50 cheaper than the Subaru ski rack. Again the etrailer.com service is fantastic. I have purchased products here before and will do so again.
DIY Install: Inno Aero Roof Rack for Naked Roofs on your 2022 Dodge Durango
Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have an INNO roof rack system. We'll take a look at how it fits, how it looks, and how it installs on our 2022 Dodge Durango. So why would you get a roof rack system Well, if you wanna carry around fun accessories and maybe expand your cargo space with a roof box or roof basket, or you wanna carry around kayaks or long ladders, first you need a base for those accessories. This is gonna be the roof rack system from INNO. This is gonna be the shorter length with the 54 and 57 inch bars, and it has some pros and cons to that. It is gonna be a little bit more sleek compared to the wider range, and with how INNO has the different bar sizes you also have a more custom look on the car.
DIY 2022 Dodge Durango Installation for the Inno Aero Flush Roof Rack for Naked Roofs
Hi, everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install this Inno roof rack system with the flush-mounted crossbars on our 2022 Dodge Durango. Now, when I say flush-mounted, what I mean by that is that the crossbar, that piece up top that we're gonna attach our accessories to, ends inside the foot pack here, meaning that nothing overhangs off the side of the vehicle. A lot of people prefer this style because it is a little bit more clean and custom looking. And if you only plan on mounting up one accessory on your roof, maybe something like a box for a road trip or a basket, then this is gonna be plenty of room.
Thule Roof Rack Review - 2008 Dodge Durango
Today on our 2008 Dodge Durango, we're going to be doing a test fit of the Thule Aeroblade roof rack system. It's going to be part number THARB53 and the foot pack which is going to be TH450R. As you can see up on our vehicle that we already have one on the back installed, so you can see what it'll like with those raised factory rails. We're going to show you how to place the other one on and get a proper crossbar spread for our items that we're going to be putting on. First thing we're going to do is flip it over, turn the end cap to where we can remove it. If you need to, you can also depress the little button here. Pull the end cap off and then you can slide the scale in since we won't need the scale for this application.
Thule AeroBlade Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2007 Dodge Durango
Today on our 2007 Dodge Durango, we'll be test fitting the Thule Roof Rack System using the Thule AeroBlade Load Bars, part number THARB53 and using the Thule Rapid and Crossroad Roof Mounted Railing Foot Pack, part number TH450R. We've already assembled our roof rack system according to the instructions so we'll begin by placing the front part of our roof rack onto our vehicle. We'll want to make sure that the straps on the feet go around our side rails. Once we have them in place, we can then make sure that we have an equal overhang on each side. Then we'll want the center of the foot with the rail by using the Aero indicator on our foot pack and bring our strap around our rail. We'll insert the end of the strap into our foot and then hold it into position while we tighten with the included tool.
Thule AeroBlade Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2007 Dodge Durango TH450R
Today on this 2007 Dodge Durango, we are going to be test fitting a Thule Roof Rack. We will be using the 60 AeroBlade bars along with the Rapid Crossroad Feet. We already have our crossbar assemblies put together, and now we are ready to mount them on top of the roof of our vehicle. The first thing we need to do is set the load bar up on top of the vehicle, once weve done that, we need to check a couple of things before we started to tighten it down. First we need to make sure that the load bar is overhanging evenly on both the left and right side of the vehicle and we also need to make sure that the load bar is running perpendicular to our side rails. To do that we will find a fixed point up on our side rails on either side and measure the distance from that to the edge of our Crossroad foot and make sure its the same.
