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 something with real weight—like a kayak, canoe, or cargo box—you want bars that won’t flex or fail. These heavy-duty aluminum crossbars are built for strength and can handle up to 220 lbs, always keeping within your vehicle’s roof load limit. The durable design gives you the stability and peace of mind you need for road trips, camping runs, or hauling work gear.
If you like to switch between hauling different types of gear, these bars make it easy. The square design includes top channels that work with Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty accessories like ladder rollers, load stops, and eyebolts. That means you can load everything from kayaks to contractor gear using the same setup—no fuss, no complicated clamp systems.
Nothing ruins a trip faster than your gear sliding around or rattling loose. The integrated rubber strips in the crossbar channels help cushion whatever you're hauling while adding slip resistance. They keep your cargo steady and quiet through bumps and turns so you can focus on the drive instead of what’s happening on the roof.
Once your rack is installed, it stays put until you say otherwise. The included lockable cover plates on the legs secure the rack to your vehicle’s naked roof, adding a layer of protection for your setup. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference when you park overnight or leave your gear mounted between trips.
These parts are made to go the distance. The aluminum crossbars come with a limited lifetime warranty, and both the legs and fit kit carry 5-year limited warranties. That means whether you’re using them every weekend or just for special outings, they’re designed to hold up over time and keep delivering solid performance.

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.
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
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.
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
I received excellent prompt service for a minor parts-related problem not impacting installation, safety or use of the Rhino Rack system I purchased. I would order from etrailer again without hesitation.
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!!!
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!
etrailer.com's videos and additional customer support made the purchase of a Rhino Rack system from them for our 2010 Malibu a no brainer. The rack fit the car perfectly, and with the videos and clear instructions that came with the kit, I got it installed on the car with only one misstep. The instructions came the the measurements in centimeters and inches. I didn't have a metric tape measure, and ended up messing up converting fractions to decimal.
My Daughter is going to college 500 miles away and is moving into an unfurnished apartment and needed to pick up some small furniture that wouldn't fit in her Malibu. She purchased several items from Facebook Marketplace and was able to transport a twin bed and mattress, a medium sized desk and some dining room chairs (in several trips) with no problems.
The only thing I can think of to improve the installation would be to have the Inches measurements in decimal or to include an inexpensive metric tape.
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.
