Most Popular Rhino Rack for Kia Sorento

Great product and service. It took me a minute to figure out how to properly connect the legs to the bar, but once I did it was easy to install. Seems sturdy, but haven't put them to use yet.

2017 Kia Sorento L

The crossbars came together with all mounting hardware, platforms and legs. Evertyhing arrived together in short time and was raasonably easy to assemble. The quality is good and solid, and all at a good price. A year later, they still look great and perform well. I highly recommend purchasing from etrailer.

etrailer.com's videos and additional customer support made the purchase of a Rhino Rack system from them for our 2010 Malibu a no brainer. The rack fit the car perfectly, and with the videos and clear instructions that came with the kit, I got it installed on the car with only one misstep. The instructions came the the measurements in centimeters and inches. I didn't have a metric tape measure, and ended up messing up converting fractions to decimal. My Daughter is going to college 500 miles away and is moving into an unfurnished apartment and needed to pick up some small furniture that wouldn't fit in her Malibu. She purchased several items from Facebook Marketplace and was able to transport a twin bed and mattress, a medium sized desk and some dining room chairs (in several trips) with no problems. The only thing I can think of to improve the installation would be to have the Inches measurements in decimal or to include an inexpensive metric tape.

I am very happy with my purchase of the 2500 Series Rhino Roof Rack system from etrailer. I wanted to transport a Mohawk Intrepid 16’ canoe from Pagosa Springs to my home in Albuquerque that my good friend left me when he passed. We used to run the Chama River from El Vado Dam to just short of Big Eddy, a great overnight trip of 22 miles. I didn’t know what I needed in a roof rack for my Toyota Tacoma full cab but Alyssa at etrailer was very helpful and so pleasant. The delivery was quick and the installation was pretty easy (the videos on etrailer’s website were a big help). The day I drove from Pagosa to ABQ, Feb 26, 2023, it was very windy, 40 mph gusting to 60 mph! Not an ideal day to be carrying a canoe on the roof! But the Rhino Rack was rock solid and the canoe didn’t budge, even though my truck was getting getting pushed around. I’ve left the rack on because I like the way it looks! (PS. I added another strap to the back rack after I took the photo) Highly recommend etrailer to anyone considering purchasing a roof rack!

i 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.

The bars went on my 2018 Kia Sorento quite easily. Something I didn't realize was that because they have to be mounted in a prescribed position when I received my Rhino roof basket the baskets mounting points don't line up at all with the crossbars. I was able to mount the front as intended but I had to basically kind of make my own mounting brackets for the rear of the basket. My design worked and looks ok but it's totally not the way I would have wanted to mount it. Had I known I'd have spent the extra money to get the crossbars that you can put wherever you want to.

Order was packaged very well and was shipped promptly; however base kit was mis-packed at Rhino Rack and was missing a part. etrailer responded promptly and I received the part I needed to install the rack system within 3 days of reporting it. After preparing my flush racks for mounting the Rhino Rack, I discovered that both vortex bars were too long to fit my 2019 Kia Sorento SXL. I disassembled one end of each bar and used a chop saw to remove 5/8 inch from the front bar and 7/16 inch from the rear bar. After trimming the rubber and drilling new screw holes in the cut ends, I reinstalled the mounting legs and installed the bars without further incident on the car. This rack system will be the heart of my hang glider transportation after I fabricate a hood rack and a rear receiver rack. Took longer than I expected but I had the time and tools to make it look factory installed and custom fit. In retrospect, and given the delays due to poor quality control at Rhino Rack and my having to re-cut both bars to properly fit the fixed mounting points on my car, I feel a fairer price for the system would be in the range of $325.00 to $350.00, rather than the nearly $500.00 I paid for it.

Perfect. Low Profile, Looks Good. Solid Rack System. Had a year and Highly recommend

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.

The parts were simple to install. The foam padding did drop out as I manipulated the parts, so being aware of its placement during installation was important. The neat, clean appearance of the items provides a nice look for my 2012 Kia Sorento.

Exactly what my car needed, when other places tried to sell me a drill/bolt solution - fit, solid, no wiggle.

The Rhino Racks Vortex Aero are solid. My first drive with them was to Brighton Utah from Riverside California. They were not only secure throughout the drive and hard winds, they were also reasonably quiet. On top I attached a Thule Force L 628 roof box and it fits perfectly. The only complaints I have are how difficult it was to install the racks to my fixed points. It took several friends, a mechanic, and two days to get everything right.

Bought and installed on my 2019 Honda Fit. I’ve driven from Chicago to Big Bend in TX and to the Black Hills in SD with a cargo box attached and have had zero issues. Installation is simple enough and are easy to take off when needed.
