To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
When you’re carrying gear like kayaks, canoes, or a rooftop box, you want bars that won’t flex or shift under weight. These Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty crossbars are built from aluminum and rated for 220 lbs, giving you solid support for big trips and serious cargo. The square design stays steady even with contractor-grade accessories strapped down.
Sliding gear can scratch or shift during travel. The top channels on these bars accept Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty accessories like ladder rollers, load stops, and eyebolts, so everything mounts securely where you need it. Rubber strips line the channels to cushion your load and provide slip resistance while sealing out wind for a smoother ride.
Once your rack is loaded up, peace of mind matters as much as load strength. Each 2500 Series leg features lockable cover plates that secure the rack to your vehicle. You can leave your setup installed between trips knowing it’s locked down and stable.
For vehicles without factory rails, this system installs cleanly using a custom fit kit made for naked roofs. The design gives a firm hold without adding stress to the roof surface. You get a dependable setup that looks tidy and feels solid every time you load up for an adventure.
The all-aluminum construction resists rust and wear through years of hauling gear in all kinds of weather. The black finish keeps a low-key look, while the crossbars carry a limited lifetime warranty, and the legs and fit kit each include a 5-year limited warranty—so you know this setup is built to last trip after trip.

Needed the Rhino-Rack parts and they were delivered when promised. Great service.
Great product and great customer service.very easy to put together and install, although the measurements are a little crazy. 33/64. It’s impossible to be this precise.
Love the product though
Good quality and locks are included. The plastic lock covers are flimsy but they will keep an honest person honest.
Once installed they seem sturdy and look good. One of the end caps was damaged in shipping but otherwise everything was good
Love the roof rack! Works great for ka yaks!
This is an excellent product. It was the only product that would fit my truck. I was able to mount it by myself, it took me longer than I thought it would, but it helps if you watch first a video on line about how to put it together. The support staff is excellent if you miss any parts. I highly recommend it for the 2015 Nissan Rogue.

This harness fit perfectly on my 2006 Jeep Wrangler. Very easy to install and plent of extra wire to run it correctly. Has worked flawlessly.
Two items I received surprised me when I unpacked the box were the rails because they were not black like I saw in the picture, and the rubber insert that I am having a hard time sliding in the rail. Should this rubber insert have come already installed in the rail or is there a top on how to put in with ease?
The rack fit well and was easy to install. Seems to be made well. The problem is the amount of road noise. I never even put the basket on. It was so loud, it roared. I repositioned it several times but the noise was way too much and I finally just removed it. I spent a lot of money for the rack and the basket and now they are in storage. I wish it would have worked out better because I thought it looked really good.
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
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 purchased these with the Rhino-Rack for a 2012 Kia Optima SX. Thy work great and are easy to install and remove from vehicle. I use the Yakima Skybox 16 with it and have seen all elements of weather from snow, sleet, thru rain. All have held up great.
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!!!
I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
Great product everything fit perfectly. With the heavy duty bars almost all the hardware for anything you put on the rack is too short
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.
love it, no problem and easy to install and take on and off, 47,000 miles on the highway and not a single issue. I even like the song the ladder hums to me driving down the interstate. This is my second Rhino and both have preformed to a high standard.
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 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.
