With the Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty Roof Rack, the overhang design opens up your vehicle's roof for more storage solutions. This means you have extra space to fit more of your biking, kayaking, or storage gear, making it the perfect choice for carrying cargo boxes, cargo baskets, kayaks, and bikes. Whether you're venturing out on a weekend trip or need to transport gear for a project, this feature ensures you have the room you need without compromise.
Finding the right attachments for your rack can be a hassle, but Rhino-Rack makes it easier with compatibility for both channel mount and clamp-on attachments. This flexibility gives you the freedom to use a variety of accessories, from cargo boxes to bike racks, with ease. Your outdoor adventures can start sooner with fewer limitations on how you pack your gear.
Worried about your load slipping during transit? The Rhino-Rack’s integrated rubber strips are designed to cushion and provide slip resistance, keeping your gear steady and secure as you drive. Now, even on bumpy roads or in wet conditions, you can travel with peace of mind, knowing your load is more stable and protected.
Keeping your gear safe is critical, whether you're parked downtown or in the wild. The Rhino-Rack features lockable cover plates that secure the rack to your vehicle, adding an extra layer of protection against theft. This security feature means you can leave your vehicle unattended with confidence, knowing your attachments and gear are well-protected.
Investing in roof racks can be a significant decision, and Rhino-Rack backs its products with confidence. With a limited lifetime warranty on the crossbars and a generous 5-year limited warranty on the Backbone, legs, and spacers, you’re assured long-term support and durability. This level of commitment from the manufacturer guarantees that you're making a wise investment for years of travel and adventure.

I'd give these a 3.5. I think they work just fine but in comparing to my Yakima towers these are not as easy and convenient. The pinch style legs can be hard to use if the bars are not lined up right or hard to manage in cold wet conditions. I didn't like that the locking mechanism and face plate come out completely. Just too many pieces and possibility of something getting lost. Overall, I think they are strong and although not as convenient as Yakima they are far better than some other alternatives.
I like the Rhino Rack RTV track because is allows Vortex Aero cross bars to be easily moved and removed. However the appropriately sized rectangular track nuts (M6 24x21x5 part No. N057) used to mount items to the rack are no longer available or manufactured. Consequently RTV track cannot be easily used to secure additional items. Rhino Rack is unable to offer a solution other than returning the wrong sized track nuts so I will manufacture my own attachment nuts. After drilling 18 holes in the roof of my new car and installing the RTV track and cross bars, the lack of compatible nuts was a big disappointment. The product should not be sold if components are not available.
great product. sturdy easy to install and held my thule cargo box (also an etrailer purchase), really well! Fit perfest in my 2002 Excursion roof rack factory rails and easily adjusted. One note for excursion owners is to mount the front leg of the rack more directly over the rear door vs moving it up towards the front. I was tempted to move it as far forward as I could so I could stand in the rear door opening to access the inside/contents of the box and the weight of the box and contents actually bowed the roof steel in and out while driving, causing a popping noise, once i moved it back a little it was fine. Also making note that I have one of the biggest boxes you can buy so weight was at a max for the roof/roof rack for me YMMV depending on what you have on top of the crossbars. overall good solid product and the cost savings for the Rhino rack vs other brands is a BIG plus for me.
Best price on the part. Fast shipping. The install video made it a breeze. Rhino rack was a little lazy with the written directions and stamping all the parts. The etrailer video for 2015 JKU was needed.
Works awesome and was the best solution for carrying bicycles while towing travel trailer
All seems OK as an open box and slightly used item, as expected for paying for an open box item. Thank you!
2022 Ford Maverick with a Rhino Rack on a retrax xr tonneau...love em both. THANKS etrailer.
Wow! It's a real well made and engineered product and was delivered fast. I got it so I could remove it due to garage door clearance... It is heavy duty enough to carry our boat and 2 kayaks. The key lock, pivot system and removal system were well thought out and so easy.
As well built as other offerings from other companies. However, this setup seems more versatile. I bought these to use with original TracRac cross bars (pre-Thule). It took some modification to make these fit properly (remove half the width of the raised ribs on the legs/towers and about half the height of the raised ribs to get a good tight fit). Also, the T-slot nuts are too wide for the TracRack, so I'm using longer, but narrower nuts to make it all work together. Sure, I could have bought the Rhino crossbars, but I already had these TracRac bars laying around. A win-win.
These are excellent! Check out my YouTube channel, Road and Reel, to see how I used the to carry 4 bikes above my Retrax Tonneau cover.
I purchased a used gray topper for my Tundra, repainted it to match my truck, and purchased from you the mounts and rails to put on top of it. The entire project was GREAT, and the and rails have just topped it off (see what I did there?) with a great look and very functional utility to add some long storage capability to a very short-bed truck. Thank you so much, it was expensive, but the quality is fantastic and the look is very sharp!
Purchased the Rhino Quick Mount Legs and Vortex-Aero bars, to mount on our Retrax XR Pro Tonneau cover. As always buying from trailer is easy, Terri N make the experience much better, from order to delivery. Terri ensured compatibility with existing hardware, and that everything needed is included.
The Rhino system is an easy install, the fit of the T-slot plate style nuts was tight, eliminating the damage that can occur with loose fitting slot inserts. Assembly can be completed on or off vehicle, as long as all accessories are fitted first. If done off vehicle, accurate measurements will be needed for the base fitment.
We paired the Rhino system with 1up USA bike racks, and a Yakima box.
I bought these racks for my Ford Transit and I couldn't be happier with the racks or the service from trailer. The rhino racks added a nice touch to an awkward looking van with its great looks and perfect functionality. Reading reviews about other racks making howling noises while driving made me a little hesitant , but am pleased to say, no noise whatsoever. I've added a basket to the racks and everything has worked perfectly. We do a lot of traveling,(2 adults,4 kids, 3 dogs) and the racks have provided exactly what we needed. Thanks etrailer for the best price and great service
Fit was great, easily attached to my current bars. Look to be good quality and combined with the security feature as it comes with a locking cover.
The item was actually the Rhino-rack roof rack complete system including Aero- bars and tracks for camper shells without existing tracks ( and not the quick mount legs pictured). I received the shipment with literally half of the components missing and had to wait for the missing parts to be sent. Still ended up with one part missing so had to wait again for that part to be sent. Took a total of 3 months from the time I ordered until I had all the parts to complete installation. I still gave 4 stars due to the quality of the product ( and at half the price of a comparable Yakima system), and because of the diligence and response of representatives (Amy and Tiffini) who helped me get the missing parts. I will note however (from reviewing other posted reviews) that shipping orders for this item with missing parts, and even with half the components missing, does not appear to be an isolated event)
Excellent product. Strong, secure and easy to install. Everyone at etrailer was helpful and knowledgeable.
I love the Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars. At first they were a pain to crossbar on, but they I used my thumbs correctly on the lock, and haven't had an issue since the first alignment. They really served their purpose and lifted the old Sears Sport 20-SV cargo top carrier off of the roof for easier mounting and for now hold the kayaks. I do need longer crossbars, but that's a future problem that etrailer.com will be glad to provide a solution to.
This product is very intuitive in its design. Yes, it has a quick detach feature, but it can also be canted up or down, depending on the curvature os the vehicle roof. Attachment to the roof rails and the Vortex bars seems solid and looks great. And, if you transported camping gear to a site and don't want to take your roof rack offroading, simply remove the rack with the QD feature and snap on the included covers. I'm very pleased with my purchase!
Works great like the quick disconnect for taking off cross bars
Very fast shipping, and exactly what I needed for our truck rail system with tonneau cover.
My Thule UpRide Roof bike rack mounted perfect in the T-Slots! Mounts easily and no issues in the Truxedo T-Slot rails on my Ford Ranger.
Mounts perfect in Truxedo T-Slot rails.
my rhino crossbars and a rhino basket purchased else where months ago. With dogs traveling in the backseat and limiting my cargo space with a locking retrax bed cover I needed a little bit more room for those extra things I couldn’t live without in my travels. Paula S was the bomb and assisted me with the perfect size setup. Super fast shipping.
Incredible product super reliable , over a year of having it not a single issue , ima super hardcore fisherman , and also use the bed of my truck for various activities I can’t believe how easy this is too completely disassemble and put back together , this is a thief deterrent. Use it on a F 150 2022 truck with retrax electric bed cover
Excellent product and construction. I also have used it for mounting a cargo carrier for vacation and they held the weight with contents with no issues.
Great product! Works well with our Thule Tracker II rails installed on our truck cap. Solid system that is easy to install and remove.
