When you’re hauling kayaks, canoes, or cargo boxes, you want bars that stay solid under pressure. 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 maintaining a sturdy, stable platform for your gear. The strong square-bar profile gives the rack a rugged feel that’s ready for weekend trips or work duty without bending or flexing.
Mounting anything to a bare roof can be tricky, but this system is designed specifically for that job. The complete kit includes 2 Heavy Duty crossbars, four 2500 Series legs, and a custom fit kit that anchors securely to your roof. The lockable cover plates on each leg keep the rack firmly in place and help protect your setup when you leave the vehicle parked.
The square bars feature top channels that work with Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty accessories like ladder rollers, load stops, and eyebolts. Rubber strips line those channels to cushion your load and add slip resistance, so things stay steady mile after mile. The strips also help keep the channels sealed from dirt and weather when not in use.
Long drives, sun exposure, and wet conditions are no problem for these bars. The black aluminum construction resists rust and corrosion while keeping overall weight down. With limited lifetime coverage on the crossbars and 5-year limited coverage on the legs and fit kit, this setup is made to handle years of hauling kayaks, cargo boxes, and camping gear without wearing out.

Good quality and locks are included. The plastic lock covers are flimsy but they will keep an honest person honest.
Needed the Rhino-Rack parts and they were delivered when promised. Great service.
Easy to assemble and works great. The rack is very solid.
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.

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
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
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 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!!!
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?
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
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…
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
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.
Buying this fit kit allowed me to reuse my Rhino Rack roof racks on my new vehicle. Thanks to etrailer for confirming this would work.
