Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards
E trailer I have a 2019 Mazda6 and purchased the rhino rack series 2500 parts (fit kit #DK289, foot pack #RRRLKVA, aero crossbars#RRVA126B-2), and the rhino rack snowboard/ski carrier #RR576. My car does have fixed mounting points underneath the strip on the roof so I opted to add them to my roof and not use the clamp for kit that goes in the door jam. Every time I entered the year, make, and model of my car, the parts came up with the clamp fit kit part #DK387 which I did not want. But after some research, I found the correct fixed mounting point fit kit. The site of course told me that this part wouldn’t fit my car but after looking at the customer reviews, I saw them used on Mazdas. All of the rhino rack instructions were not the best. We did have to make some adjustments. One of the instruction packs tells you how long you’re supposed to cut the rubber pieces that go into the crossbars based on your car but unfortunately, the measurements were wrong for my car (picture- front 166mm is wrong). The front bar length was about an inch too short and I had to add more rubber to make it longer to fit the fixed mounting points on my roof. After some time of trying to interpret the instructions, and looking up whatever available instructional videos were online, we finally finished installing them and they do look really nice. At higher speeds on the highway I can definitely hear more noise. The actual snowboard carrier is fine, fits all 4 boards fine. It is a little difficult to close once I have my boards in there because you have to push the top bar all the way down and hold it down to be able to turn the key to lock it. I’m just happy I don’t have to shove the boards in my trunk. I do like that all the parts in this series come with locks and keys. So far no problems. Overall good product.
This rack works great with the four pairs of skis I lugged from Oregon to Alaska. I'm using it on the beef rack cross bars that came with my go fast camper which are very difficult to find mountings for. This one worked great though with a little bit of metal grinding on the bolts that slide into the t-slot of the rack. It locks and unlocks fairly easily (with a little bit of jangling involved), but so far so good!

Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 2 Pairs of Skis or 4 Fishing Rods
My second Rhino Rack. I use the racks for skiing and fishing pole. I travel a lot and have never had a problem with them. The Installation is simple and can be completed in under 15 minutes. Etrailer was cheaper than amazon, didnt charge for shipping, and I got the rack a few days after ordering. Would totally recommend etrailer.
Product arrived very well packaged and on time. It’s very robust and came with locks installed. It’s also set up for T-bolt rails which I needed. It was also a few dollars less than Amazon. etrailer is great to deal with and their YouTube videos on this and other products are extremely helpful.

Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Silver
So easy to install onto Thule AeroBlade. Quality materials and convenient design. No significant noise noticeable from wind resistance when driving. etrailer provided great shipment/notification support and was great resource for how-to videos, commentary.
Better than I expected. Only comes with four core locks so be aware of that if you want six like I did. Bought two more locks from Thule with the same key #. Mounted this carrier on my Rhino Rack. Perfect fit and looks great. Would highly recommend.

Thule SnowPack Extender Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Slide Out - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Silver
Love it!!!!!! Great ski rack replacement for older rack. The extended slide is incredible. The eTrailer support helped me pick the model that worked for my car and crossbars. Another wonderful purchase from my go to source for bike/ski or other related products!
Used this last season for the first time. Found it lightweight and very easy to install; the main difficulty was getting front and back carriers aligned on the center of the vehicle as the clasps are offset. It was used to hold 4 sets of skis and did this quite easily. I think 5 sets would be no problem, but six sets might be pushing it especially if you are using wider skis. It is very much worth the extra money to get the extender/slide out option if you stand under 6' tall and have an SUV.

Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 3 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
I think these racks will be excellent during ski outings for many years. I attached them directly to the C-grooves on my Aero bars rather than using the provided clamps. The C-groove attachment is stronger and slightly lower profile. I love the large release buttons!.
I can't ski, I fly fish. However my oldest decided to try downhill skiing after being gifted a pair of skis. I am budget minded should the skiing not work out and after breaking many rod tips decided this might solve 2 problem. I am very pleased w/this equipment holder. It has transported skis & ski poles too and from and no longer does my oldest have to dodge skies coming over the back seat. So far it has taken abuse from the rain (& freezing rain), snow, ice, rapid warming, road salt, and upwards of 70mph and there has been no shifting, loosening, breaking of plastic or any other noticeable problems. I am excited for spring to see how it transports my fly rods.

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

Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Black
This rack easily fits 5 sets of skis for my family. It is FAIRLY easy to take on and off (could be faster if we didn't have to turn turn turn the dials). My biggest complaint is that as soon as my skis are out of it, I HAVE to remove it from my car (SUV). The noise of it empty on my roof is so loud when I am on the highway it is AWFUL! It's like it vibrates my whole car and is super loud. It only does it when there are no skis in it. It is frustrating since it would be way easier just to leave it on all winter taking my skis on and off when we need to, not the entire rack.
Just put this snowboard rack on my 2011 4runner mounted to Thule Aeroblade roof rack. Easy to install and use. Quality seems good. Like the look. No noise issues when driving. No complaints so far. Overall satisfied!

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.

Thule SnowPack Extender Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Slide Out - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Black
Game changer! I don’t have to climb on the car to put our skis on the rack or take them off. It’s also easy to put the rack on the car and take it off. I’m got sure you could get six pairs of skis on the rack, but I haven’t tried. It’s certainly no problem getting four pairs.
I am so thankful I spent the extra money and ordered the one that pulls out to easily load/unload skies. I’ve had several opportunities where I have had 6 pairs of skies to transport. I have had others approach me to see if I would trade.
# 11
Yakima FatCat EVO 4 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
I actually ended up buying a second set so I can fit a total of 8 pairs of skis on my jeep. I love the quality and ease of installation. It’s an easy to use system and love that my skis are secured.
These are extremely easy and quick to install. Love the aerodynamics of them as well as it's quality craftsmanship. Very pleased with this item and with the delivery speed! From North Shore Oahu....MAHALO

Kuat Grip Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Slide Out - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Black
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.
These rack are great, I have them on both of my SUVs all winter. The etrailer seevice was excellent as well.

Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards - Black
Thule makes excellent products no matter what you need.and always get them from etrailer they have the best customer service bar none.
The folks at E trailer are great people to deal with. Very knowledgeable and put me on the exact product I needed, and for the right application. Highly recommend this company!

Yakima FreshTrack 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards
Looks great on the vehicle. Had a little struggle tightening onto the cross bars but adapted and overcame!
It's a ski rack so its not all that exciting. I like that it is small for storage reasons when not using it. The fastening system to my Toyota Highlander factory rack is secure but a little cumbersome to apply and take off. I like to take it off when not using it to preserve my gas mileage. The boards and skis fit fine although they are stacked in order to get 4 peoples worth of equipment up there. A small price to pay for their compact size on the roof or in the garage.

Kuat Switch 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards
Excellent ski rack. I purchased because I wanted absolutely no noise. This thing is super quiet went flipped up or down. Love the looks of it flipped down. Absolutely no complaints. Easy to use and set up.
Arrived fast, easy to install on my 2021 Toyota Rav4 Limited. Love that it folds down when not in use. Haven't been to the mountain yet but looking forward to putting it to use. Save the box for storage - came with nice foam ends to protect it.

Kuat Grip Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Slide Out - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Gray
Rivian R1T - easy install and great looks. Works fine with the Rivian crossbars. The slide out is a nice feature! etrailer - great, great customer service! I had issues with delivery and you were there. You answered my emails promptly and was able to resolve it quickly. Amazing!
This is a fantastic rack. Had it all last winter. Not only did it keep our skis secure, it looked great doing it - I got a lot of people asking about it when they saw me using it in the parking lot. The slide out feature is very handy once you get the hang of it. We did encounter issues with the slide out trays getting stuck with ice several times (I'm in the cold and wet NE) but I was able to work them free. We also had locks freeze up to the point where you couldn't get the key into the bolt to lock/unlock, which was annoying. Kuat support was great in sending new lock bolts when this happened though. I think the locks might need some weatherproofing to account for rain/snow getting in and freezing up the components, then allowing corrosion to set in and seize everything up. But no regrets! I have this and the Base rack for our bikes in the warmer months, so there's kuat on my vehicle all year round now.

SeaSucker Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Vacuum Cup Mounted - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
Quite an amazing product. When it arrives, you think, "Oh man, how is this going to make it the whole trip?" But I can tell you that I traveled from Fort Worth to A-basin/Keystone and back with no issues. That's 1640 miles there and back at speeds up to 85 mph and at least 3 of the world's climate zones on just this one trip. It is best practice to give each of the suction plungers a few taps every time you gas up, but I forgot a few times and it still caused no issues. Simple assembly with 4 suction cups and 2 of the high-density plastic racks that connect to each other with an included alan key and headless screw. Also includes the high tension straps you'll need to fasten skis/boards at the front and rear of your gear. When I say this rack was solid, I mean like I'd touch it to test for stability while driving and gassing up and it felt like it was sitting in hardened cement. Absolutely rock solid. And, there's a spare strap and plunger included. A couple minor things worth noting (but none of these could justify taking away from the 5-star rating I gave this product): - The suction cups require a clean surface, so don't take this lightly. I took mine to a car wash right before mounting. - The clean surface must also be smooth and seamless. I didn't notice until I started mounting that my truck has a grooved roof, so I had to put 1 rack on the bed cap roof. It worked great. - I wish there was an option just for skis b/c these racks were about 1" too tall to fit in the garage while mounted to the roof, and it's obvious the height of this product is to also accommodate snowboarders. Like I said, minor stuff. 5-stars all the way. You won't regret it!
Only used them once for a 4 hour drive to the slopes. Transported two snowboards at highway speeds for a majority of the travel. Mounts stayed planted and were still very secure at arrival. Nice to be able to remove to when at destination while traveling around locally.

Thule SkiClick Rooftop Ski Carrier for Cross Country Skis - 1 Pair of Skis
Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars Roof Rack Kit Installation - 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Hi, Matt with etrailer and today we're talking about the Thule roof rack on top of our 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Now this will be a great option for you if you're running out of space in the back of your vehicle. Whether you have a lot of people back there or it's already full of luggage, your roof's gonna be a great option to store any of those additional items, whether you are using a roof basket or a box. So let's check it out. Starting off with the crossbar, this is gonna have an arrow shape to it, so what that arrow shape is gonna do is make it more aerodynamic to help reduce that wind noise. Something else that's gonna help reduce wind noise is this weather strip at the very top.
Thule WingBar Edge Crossbars Roof Rack Installation - 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Hi, Matt with etrailer and today we're talking about the Thule roof rack on top of our 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Now this can be a great option for you if you're running out of space in the back of your vehicle and you need to store any of those additional items somewhere else because maybe you got a lot of people with you or you're already storing a lot of your other luggage back here. Putting it on top of your roof is going to be a great option, especially if you do have a roof box. So let's check it out. The reason why I say this is great for more items like roof boxes is because we don't have a lot of real estate on our crossbars and that's because these are flush mounted crossbars and what that means is we don't have any overhang, it just ends at the tower. So, which is nice if you want that more clean design to your crossbars, but if you want anything to put up here like a kayak or skis, that's gonna be a lot more difficult because you're gonna have to reach over here a lot more.
Yakima JetStream Crossbars Roof Rack Installation - 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Hi Matt with etrailer and today we're talking about Yakima Roof Rack on top of our 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Now this can be a great option for you if you're running outta space in the back of your vehicle, whether you have a lot of people back here already or you have any items that are longer that just can't fit back here, anything like skis or a kayak. So let's check it out. The kit we have today is gonna be a fixed mounting point kit. So what that means is since we have flush rails, the way this is going to attach is we're gonna have two bolts that go into the fit kit itself and bolt into your roof. And you won't be able to really play around with your crossbar spread like with some other roof rack options.
Yakima SkyLine FX JetStream Aero Crossbars Roof Rack Installation - 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Hi, Matt with etrailer. And today we're talking about the Yakima SightLine FX bars on top of our 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Now, this can be a great option for you if you're looking for something that's gonna give you more of a clean design up on top of your roof so you can haul those longer accessories that can't fit in the back of the vehicle. And if you don't want this on all the time, you can remove this really easy. So let's check it out. And what I mean about this being more of a clean look, we just look at it right now, we don't really have anything sticking out off the side and that's gonna be 'cause of the design of this.
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars Roof Rack Kit Installation - 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Hi, I'm Matt with etrailer and today we're talking the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack on our 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Now, this would be a great option for you if you're running out of space in the back of your Jeep, whether you have a lot of people back there, a lot of luggage, or you have any longer items that can't fit in the back and you have to put it somewhere else like on top of your roof. This is also a system that's gonna have a pretty nice look on top of your roof and it's gonna be actually pretty easy to take on and off. So let's take a closer look at it. The one we have today is gonna be a fixed mounting rack. So what that means is the place where we have them right now is gonna be the only place that they can sit because they're gonna bolt onto your flush rails.
Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars Installation - 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Hey everybody, how's it going Today, we're gonna be going over, and showing you how to install, the Thuli Evo Crossbars System, here on our 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. So, let's take a closer look at our roof rack system here. The first thing we're gonna notice, is the shape of our crossbars. So, there's a few different types of Aero crossbars on the market, Thule however, are the only ones with this airplane wing shaped crossbar. Now, what this does is, it does a couple of different things. Number one, provides the best aerodynamics, therefore we're gonna get the best, or the least amount of wind resistance.
Yakima Roof Rack Review - 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Hey, everybody, welcome to etrailer.com I'm Bobby and today we're taking a look at the Yakima JetStream Aero Bars here on our 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Now, guys, this is gonna be an excellent way of giving yourself a very nice roof rack system. Yakima, of course, very known for their roof rack system. You also do have a very nice style on these guys here today. Now, in my opinion, they do sit just a little bit high because of these skyline towers that we're also utilizing. However, that is also because of our rails here today.
Rhino Rack Roof Rack Installation - 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Hey everybody, welcome to etrailer.com. I'm Bobby, and today we're taking a look at the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars, 49 inches long, here on our 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The Rhino-Racks here, definitely make a great little option for yourself on the Jeep. I'm really liking how low profile these guys are.
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars Installation - 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee
How's it going This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Bars on the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. So why do you need a roof rack Well, glad you asked. Basically what this is gonna allow is to use this negative space that's just on top of your vehicle to give you more usable cargo space. If you have a cargo basket or a roof box, that's really popular items that we carry. And this will allow you to have the platform to do basically anything with the top of your vehicle. And on Jeep Grand Cherokee models to have the flush mounted rails, you're already gonna have pre-existing holes in the roof to support a roof rack system.
Yakima Roof Rack Review - 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Hi, everybody. Adam, here, from etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima CoreBar roof rack system on our 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. With fifty inch cross bars we can put a bunch of different stuff up on our roof. We would probably have enough room to put a cargo basket up here, maybe a bike rack on top of that. We can put multiple different J-Style kayak carriers up on here and of course we can put a bunch of different ski and snowboard carriers to carry multiple different skis.
Yakima Roof Rack Review - 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Y00148
Adam: What's going on everybody, Adam here with etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima round bar roof rack system on our 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. We all know that Jeeps are very capable vehicles, but putting a roof rack on top of it is going to definitely widen its amount of capabilities. I really like our etrailer basket on top, just because if you have a bunch of people inside, you have a bunch of other stuff in the back, we can actually pretty much double the amount that we can fit in the back up on top of our roof. Another thing you can do is we have J-style carriers that you can put up on top to get two kayaks to and from your destination.With 48 inches of crossbars, we are going to have a lot of different things we can put up on there. I've seen a bunch of different bike racks on there.
Inno Roof Rack Review - 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, we're going to be test fitting the Inno Square Crossbar Roof Rack System, consisting of part number INB127. These are the square crossbars, 50" long. We'll also be using part number INTR, which are the Inno feet, for the Square Crossbars, particularly for track systems, or flush side rails. Finally, part number INTR132. This is the Custom Fit Kit for the Jeep Grand Cherokee.The Inno Square Bar Roof Rack system is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your roof, while freeing up space inside your vehicle. This can carry anything from bike racks, to cargo baskets, to cargo boxes.
Yakima Roof Rack Installation - 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, we're going to be test fitting the Yakima JetStream Roof Rack System, consisting of part numbers Y00425, these are the JetStream crossbars 50" long, part number Y00148, these are the SkyLine towers for the Yakima crossbars specifically for fixed mounting points and finally, part number Y00244 and this is the landing pad for the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Yakima JetStream Roof Rack System is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your roof while freeing up space inside your vehicle. This can carry anything from bike racks to cargo baskets to cargo boxes. The bars do have an aerodynamic shape to them and that coupled with the rubber strip up at the top will cut down the wind noise and drag while you drive. Also, when we remove the end cap, you can see that it can be used with T-Track accessories.What makes this different from the other roof rack models out there is you would have to remove the rubber strip up at the top to utilize the T-Track accessories. With this, you simply push the center strip down and then slide them in place.
Rhino-Rack RSP Roof Rack Installation - 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Speaker 1: Today in this 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, we're going to be test fitting the Rhino-Rack RSP Roof Rack system for flush factory side rails, part number RSP27. The Rhino-Rack RSP Roof Rack is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your roof, while freeing up space inside your vehicle. Plus it has the added bonus of looking like it's factory installed once it is installed. This can carry anything from bike racks to cargo baskets to cargo boxes, although you are limited with space as to how many things you can load up, since it's cut off at this point here.Now, if you wanted a bar that goes further past that, where you can fit multiple bike racks, per se, then you would have to upgrade to a different style of roof system from Rhino-Rack. This comes as one kit and has everything that you see here: the bars, the legs, and the fit kit that goes inside the flush-mounted side rails. It bolts into place and uses fixed mounts, so you don't have to worry about measuring out from center to center to make sure everything is evened.One thing I would like to note about the installation process is sometimes these can stick out a little bit further when you're initially installing them, so you may have to apply a little bit of pressure to tighten down the bolt in the center here to hold it in place.
Best 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Roof Rack Options
Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the best roof rack options available for a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This is going to be with an E-group package. Right now, we have our four different styles, from our four manufacturers here; starting with Yakima, Inno, Thule, and Rhino Rack.First, let's go ahead and start with some of the basic differences between these bars. With both the Thule and the Yakima, we're going to have an aero-style bar, meaning it's going to be thicker at the front, smaller at the rear, and that's going to help out with aerodynamics while you travel. That's going to be the same with the elliptical style, which is going to cut down wind noise and drag, as well.However, with the Inno, we have the square bar style. Now, that is going to make some noise while you drive, however, you can purchase fairings to attach to the square bars to cut down that wind noise and drag and take some of that away while you drive.With the Yakima, the Thule, and the Rhino Rack, we can use T-track accessories.
Yakima Roof Rack Review - 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee

This is the landing pad kit to fit specifically on your Jeep Grand Cherokee.The Yakima RoundBar roof rack system is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your roof while freeing up space inside your vehicle. This can carry anything from bike racks to cargo baskets to cargo boxes. With the RoundBars, you may experience some noise while you drive, but Yakima does offer fairings, which you can find on etrailer.com to cut down that wind noise and drag as well. Also with our end caps here, we do have plastic knockouts that can be removed and replaced with the Yakima SKS lock systems, which are sold separately. So, you can actually secure this to your roof, but you can also make it keyed alike with the accessories that you're hauling as well.It's also very easy to use.
