When you’re packing for a trip or loading up gear, you want bars that feel solid. These Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty crossbars are built from aluminum and rated for 220 lbs. The strength gives you the confidence to haul kayaks, lumber, or contractor gear without flexing under pressure. The sturdy feel makes long drives or bumpy roads a lot less stressful.
Whether you’re carrying tools for the job or setting up for a weekend adventure, these square bars make it simple to mount what you need. The top channels work with Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty accessories like ladder rollers, load stops, and eyebolts. You can easily secure your gear right where you want it so it stays put mile after mile.
There’s no point in having strong bars if they don’t stay locked down. This setup includes (4) 2500 Series legs with lockable cover plates that secure the rack to your roof. Once tightened, everything feels solid with no looseness or slip. You can load up knowing your gear is staying right where you mounted it.
The rubber strips built into the channels do more than just fill space—they keep things steady and protected. They cushion your load and add slip resistance so your accessories don’t shift around. It’s a small touch that makes loading smoother and keeps your equipment from getting scuffed or rattled during travel.
These black aluminum bars are made for a long life on the roof. The crossbars come with a limited lifetime warranty, while the legs and fit kit have 5-year limited coverage. It’s a durable system that’s ready for years of hauling, whether that’s daily work loads or weekend getaways.

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
We bought bars, J style kayak carriers and adaptors for our 2017 Ford Focus hatchback. Install was pretty easy. Looks nice and is very solid on the roof. We have two 10 foot kayaks which went up fairly easy on the roof. We have used several times and are very happy with product.
Really like the product and the instructions for installation. Used it for skiing and has worked really well. I think I might be a convert to Rhino Racks.
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.
Bought this specifically to haul kayaks, but I can't begin to tell you how many things I've comfortably carried on this thing. Couldn't ask for a better customer service experience than the crew at etrailer, either. Absolutely amazing. Many other companies could learn from you guys and gals.
Received the roof rack on the date promised, it was well packaged and all parts required were included. Everything fit together very well and the instructions were easy to follow. The rack looks good on the car. Once the rack is installed and the included decals in place it only takes a few minutes to remove it and reinstall. This is important for me because we will only use the racks to transport our kayaks the rest of the time they will be removed and stored.
There are two small items that can be improved. First the legs are different lengths yet nowhere in the instructions does it tell you where each size goes. Second I own 10 tape measure and not one of them is in meters and I do not care how good your eyesight is you are not going to be able to measure to 53/64". If the measurements are critical you should ensure customers in the US have measurements they can use or include a MM tape measure.
Overall this is a very good product that I would purchase again and recommend to friends.
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!!!
Worked well, solid construction. Need to follow instructions for a perfect installation.
2016 Ford Focus sedan. These are rock solid when mounted. I carry my 14 foot aluminum canoe, lumber, extension ladder, etc (not all at the same time) and feel completely confident. Also very easy to install and reinstall. I've tried the cheaper Sportrack, and these are worth the extra money for sure.
I have purchased a few items from etrailer and have always been impressed. While pricing is always competitive the huge advantage comes into play when you factor in shipping. I have seen items advertised lower than etrailer elsewhere but oftentimes shipping elsewhere is extremely expensive so the overall price is higher.
As far as the roof rack and cargo box go they were received in perfect condition and are now mounted on my son’s car.
When it comes to high dollar items for a car, truck or trailer I will always check out etrailer before making a purchase.
I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
I love my Rhino Rack roof rack. It has been used in the past year for moving large items like an extension ladder for working on the house and I have a cargo box I use for road trips. I’ve noticed zero wind noise from the rack and would recommend to anyone considering this rack.
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.
I had ordered a different rack as this one was out of stock.. I checked the website and this rack had just came in.. I called customer service and spoke with Jane.. no problem.. canceled the original order and ordered this kit.. AND sent it right out.. I received it in 2 days !! OUTSTANDING customer service..
As for the rack itself, I was impressed with the quality.. however it was a little tricky to install myself.. 2 people would not he a problem.. be super accurate with your measurements! I did make a few mistakes but it came out great! And looks good too ! Fits my needs exactly.. thanks again to Jane S for her outstanding customer support
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 is a great roof rack, VERY sturdy once attached! I used it to carry two kayaks on the freeway multiple times and it was flawless. It is quite loud, but that is to be expected with this type of roof rack. Having the sunroof open doesn't help either... :-)
I received the rack in an efficient manner. When I went to finally assemble it, I was missing a crucial part. Fear not, their customer service was good. Tamara got the part shipped to me. Then,
myself and a surgeon (practically) tirelessly figured out how to assemble it. Terrible directions... Literally 2 hours later, it was done! Like magic... but not ;-) Proud to of got it done. Pixs included
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.
