To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
When you’re gearing up for big adventures or work projects, you need a rack that can handle real weight. These heavy-duty aluminum crossbars measure 59" long x 1-5/8" wide x 1-7/8" tall and carry up to 220 lbs while staying strong and stable. The solid square-bar design gives you the durability you want when hauling kayaks, canoes, or contractor gear.
Once this rack is mounted, it stays put. The system includes (4) 2500 Series legs with lockable cover plates that help secure the rack to your roof. The custom fit kit makes sure everything lines up snugly, giving you a dependable base for long highway drives or rough roads to the campsite.
The square bars have built-in top channels made to work with Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty accessories. You can mount ladder rollers, load stops, eyebolts, and other gear right into the track. The rubber strips inside those channels cushion your load and help keep items from slipping, so your setup stays solid even when loaded down.
Constructed from aluminum with a black finish, these crossbars fight off rust and weather wear while staying light enough for easy handling. The system is backed by strong warranties—limited lifetime on the crossbars, plus 5-year limited coverage on the legs and fit kit—so you can count on it season after season.

Once installed they seem sturdy and look good. One of the end caps was damaged in shipping but otherwise everything was good
Perfect fit and function. Will from customer service was excellent. This is the third time I have used etrailer and will be a repeat customer!
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.

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.
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?
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
There was a small delay in shipping but I was contacted quickly by phone with a follow up email. Everything arrived sooner than I expected. The Rhino roof racks mounted easily and look good. Excellent customer service.
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 used the crossbar on the front of my UTV rollbar to hold a LED light and two sun visors. It worked perfectly. I used rollbar clamps made to fit the rollbar to hold the crossbar in place.
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!
I have always had vehicles that came with factory rails which made it a no-brainer to get a rack for.. until now when bought a Dodge Ram 1500 truck with a bare roof.. and how do I then carry my 14 foot sea kayak? (It will not fit on the bed..)
When I stumble upon the 2500 Rhino rack on the etrailer website I was very interested but very distrusting at the same time - how would a rack than hanged on to the roof of the truck by what appear very small shallow clamps be able to support and hold my 50+ pound kayak to the roof with all the wind dynamics involved... BUT IT DID just that and fantastically! I took my time installing it because I was so nervous if I made a 1 mm mistake off the recommended position my kayak would peel off my truck in the middle of I-65 going South to Florida...did not happen! I drove 400 miles at an average speed of 62-65 mph and the kayak did not even make a vibration. Yes, it works, period. Don't let appearances fool you, this rack does the job. Thank you etrailer and RhinoRack.
Great product sturdy bars. Keep in mind anything you install on the bars needs to have longer bolts because of how big the bars are but that's a minor detail
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.
Ok… giving this item four stars as an overall view. The good: it fits a Jeep Wrangler perfectly. With the appropriate legs, it canvases across the entire roof of the Jeep with the legs attaching to the gutters. The bad: just a bit too noisy for my liking, even with the appropriate wind faring (I don’t expect absolute silence since I have a one touch sky top). The noise is not a big deal on short trips, but it was definitely driving my wife and kids nuts on a 2+ hour drive (stick some headphones on the kids, problem fixed)
In the future, I might switch it up from these square rails and go with something a bit more aerodynamic…
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!
The selection process that etrailer uses is top-notch. This really helped narrow down the choices for my 2019 RAM Quad cab. I bought this all kitted together. The assembly process is very straightforward and well-documented. I would highly recommend etrailer as a source for vehicle accessories. I have Yakima bike racks on our Subaru and this is as good if not better.
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.
This kit I ordered worked very well when I mounted my Rhino Roof Rack to my truck. It's as close as a perfect fit as you can get! I feel it's secure enough that it will go no where and my rods are safe and secure in my truck!
