To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
These heavy-duty crossbars are built to take on real weight. Each bar is made from aluminum and designed for strength, supporting up to 220 lbs while still staying rigid and secure. When you’re loading kayaks, canoes, or a full cargo box for a long trip, the sturdy construction gives you confidence that your gear will stay put mile after mile.
The square design isn’t just for looks—it’s built for work. The top channels let you mount Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty accessories like ladder rollers, load stops, and eyebolts, keeping everything locked down in the right spot. Whether you’re heading out with fishing gear or hauling building materials, these channels make it easy to secure your load exactly how you want it.
The rack installs on a naked roof using a custom fit kit that matches your vehicle’s shape for a solid hold. Rubber strips line the bar channels to cushion your load and help keep things from slipping around. That means less shifting during turns and fewer scratches on your gear, even when the road gets rough.
Once the rack is installed, the 2500 Series legs stay put thanks to lockable cover plates. You can leave your setup on overnight or at the trailhead knowing the system is secured in place. It’s one of those small details that makes a big difference when you travel often or park with valuable gear up top.
Durability doesn’t stop at the materials—the coverage backs it up too. The crossbars come with a limited lifetime warranty, while the legs and fit kit each carry a 5-year limited warranty. It’s a setup designed for long service life through years of road trips, camping adventures, and daily use.

Ive had these racks for a year and they've been really good. They fit my 2019 nissan frontier easily. The only thing that keeps it from 5 stars is when it rains really heavy, I get a slow, occasional drip where the mount sit under the door's weather seal.
Great Product/easy installation. Fit kit was an excellent match for my Frontier and it looks great! No air noise whatsoever. Couldn’t be happier with purchase!
Well engineered rack that fits my Ram 2500 crew cab well. A bit of wind noise at highway speeds. I have the heavy duty cross pieces with a square cross section.
This is my second Rhino-Rack. They go on very easily and hold the bikes/kayaks and even an extension ladder very well....thanks for a great product
I purchased this because I needed 11" brackets and I only needed two to add to my existing setup. Other manufacturers (I could only find one) only sold packs of four at a ridiculously high price. My Rhino Rack mounts and bar arrived within a few days of my order and appear very sturdy and well made. I bought them to add a third support for an awning and a solar shower on the roof of my van. I think I found the perfect solution.
Great cross bars for 2016 Nissan Frontier. The front one needs some adjustments from time to time for some reason. There's a bit of wind noise too but you'll get that with any aftermarket cross bars. Otherwise I've used it for my kayaks and luggage cage quite a bit with no problems.
I suppose it's a 1 star review until I receive the missing parts for my cargo bars. I'm hoping etrailer will send them ASAP as I have a trip in 10 days that I'll need the rack for.
We are very satisfied with the roof rack. Plus, the installation instructions were well described so it was easy to install. Thank you.
The boxes arrived undamaged.
Everything was individually packaged, except the bolts, washers & lock washers. (They were floating around free in the box.)
There were also no decals stating Right Rear, Right Front, Left Rear or Left Front, like the instructions specifies.
The metal straps has scuff marks like they have been used.
One screw that attaches leg to rail was almost stripped out but I'm not taking it apart for a picture...
After over an hour installing the front, I took it apart and swapped out one leg and then it worked fine.
Since nothing was marked I had a front and a rear paired up which didn't work, of course. After that, the back bar installed in less than 5 minutes.
I'm confident if this would have been a new packaged item (with the decals) it would have taken less than 20-30 minutes to install.
I have 7 pics showing all I listed above but this form will not allow me to post the pics.
This rack worked out great... I installed in on a 2017 Ford F-150. We drove 6 hrs through wind and rain with a SUP and Tandem Kayak on top. It really took a beating in a storm the whole way. One bracket was a little loose and shifted because of the wind on the Kayak, but it held together. Super happy with Rhino rack!
This kit is easy to slap on and sturdy enough to balance my skis and snowboards. I recently used the Rhino Rack on a three hour drive to a ski resort and had no issues.
I was in a roof rack jam. There was a national shortage of the rack I needed for my car and our summer vacation was a week away. I went to etrailer.com when I couldnt find the roof rack anywhere else on the web. Another website actually suggested that they might have what I needed.
I spoke to Ashley E on the phone to make sure that I was picking the right parts. Ashley was very helpful and knowledgable. She helped me find the right roof rack and made sure that I received it in record time. I am a customer for life!!!
Overall great product. It does everything I hope it would do and more, minus a couple issues.
1: These leave a slight gap in the door seal allowing air to pass through on the occasional windy day. The noise from this can be a little bit abound.
2: The anti theft aspect of this product isn't great. I almost lost my racks to a thief, but they stripped the allen head due to not having the appropriate Allen key. They did manage to loosen the racks though. I got lucky.
For the money, these are great, but don't expect $1200 quality, or the quality of a professional installation bolted to the roof.
I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
this rack fits perfectly on my 2012 nissan frontier, i couldnt be more happier with my purchase, thanks etrailer for making my buying experience so easy
Ease of order, receipt, installation and excellent customer service is what I received in this order.
Thank you, e-trailer!
Ordered a Rhino Rack for my 2014 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali. Rack arrived in very good shape and all items were there. Installing at this time and see no problems ahead.
Great product everything fit perfectly. With the heavy duty bars almost all the hardware for anything you put on the rack is too short
Works great and is very solid. I used the rack and a couple of their kayak racks to carry two kayaks. They are very secure, no vibration and minimal noise even at 70mph.
Thanks to Etrailer, I am ready to do some serious summer exploring with my 2013 Mazda 3! Rhino Racks, Malone top box, and Kuat bike rack!
This works great. Very strong and reliable. Holds my ladders with ease. I’ve had it loaded down and done 80mph on the highway no problem.
This rack works perfectly on my Nissan Versa for carrying my two Perception Sound 9'6" kayaks. The Rhino-Racks look good to me. The kayaks can rest directly on the rubber pads on the rails, unlike the Yakama racks I had in the past that had bare pipe rails. Also, I expect I can buy parts to adapt this product to a different car without having to buy new towers. I am sorry there are not hooks or loops to attach bungees when carrying lumber. They are noisy in the wind, but less so when carrying the kayaks.
I got this along with the Rhino Rack 2500 series Roof Rack with the Euro Square Crossbars in a kit. They fit perfectly and were easy to install.
These are the perfect racks for a low profile mounting of solar panels on my Sprinter van.
