When you’re hauling big gear—kayaks, lumber, or a loaded cargo box—you want bars that don’t flex or feel uncertain. These Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty crossbars are built from aluminum and rated for 220 lbs. The solid, square shape keeps everything steady, while the black finish gives them a clean, tough look that holds up to years of use.
If you like to keep your setup organized and ready for any job or trip, the integrated top channels make mounting accessories simple. The bars work with Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty attachments such as ladder rollers, load stops, and eyebolts. Just slide each piece into place along the 1-3/8" wide x 5/8" tall channel and secure it where you need it. Rubber strips inside the channel cushion your cargo and help prevent it from slipping.
Once everything’s loaded, peace of mind matters. The rack’s Quick Mount legs include lockable cover plates that secure the system to your roof tracks. You can leave your vehicle parked knowing the bars and mounts stay put until you’re ready to go again.
This complete setup includes two 50" long crossbars, four Quick Mount legs, four Quick Mount spacers, and two RT tracks—all backed by Rhino-Rack’s limited warranties. The crossbars carry a limited lifetime warranty, while the legs, spacers, and tracks each have a 5-year limited warranty. It’s a sturdy, long-term solution for anyone who needs a reliable base for their gear season after season.

Product itself is fantastic, I strongly recommend.
I have had these on for more than a year. Most common use case is carrying a 60lb, 16' long canoe.
I installed with rivets into the roof sheet metal. No issues at all with any rivets coming loose, and zero leakage. I use it with a Yakima crossbars with the quick release mounts. The feet are bolted to the tracks. The crossbars just click into the feet. They take literally less than a minute to attach or remove. I've had a few roof rack systems and this is by far the best.
I used the etrailer videos for the installation and they were more than enough. The riveting was nerve-wracking on the first one, but actually very simple. I suggest really taking your time to assure parallel. This can be tricky depending on your roofline. I marked a centerline down my roof and set the tracks based on that.
The only downside I have run into is not at all a fault in the tracks. Because they rivet into the roof sheet metal, it's susceptible to a bit of flex. I see this under the front of the tracks when I crank down on the bowline of the boat. That's a very large lever pulling down on the rack into the roof sheet metal. No lasting issues, I can just see the metal move.
Another small thing to note is that if your roof is curved where the front or real of the rail lands, the plastic end cap might have a small gap under it. It's not itself held down to the roof, it just slots into the track. I have a small gap on mine and it's not a functional issue at all.
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.
Works awesome and was the best solution for carrying bicycles while towing travel trailer
2022 Ford Maverick with a Rhino Rack on a retrax xr tonneau...love em both. THANKS etrailer.
As well built as other offerings from other companies. However, this setup seems more versatile. I bought these to use with original TracRac cross bars (pre-Thule). It took some modification to make these fit properly (remove half the width of the raised ribs on the legs/towers and about half the height of the raised ribs to get a good tight fit). Also, the T-slot nuts are too wide for the TracRack, so I'm using longer, but narrower nuts to make it all work together. Sure, I could have bought the Rhino crossbars, but I already had these TracRac bars laying around. A win-win.
Wow! It's a real well made and engineered product and was delivered fast. I got it so I could remove it due to garage door clearance... It is heavy duty enough to carry our boat and 2 kayaks. The key lock, pivot system and removal system were well thought out and so easy.
These are excellent! Check out my YouTube channel, Road and Reel, to see how I used the to carry 4 bikes above my Retrax Tonneau cover.
Excellent product. Strong, secure and easy to install. Everyone at etrailer was helpful and knowledgeable.
I purchased a used gray topper for my Tundra, repainted it to match my truck, and purchased from you the mounts and rails to put on top of it. The entire project was GREAT, and the and rails have just topped it off (see what I did there?) with a great look and very functional utility to add some long storage capability to a very short-bed truck. Thank you so much, it was expensive, but the quality is fantastic and the look is very sharp!
Fit was great, easily attached to my current bars. Look to be good quality and combined with the security feature as it comes with a locking cover.
Purchased the Rhino Quick Mount Legs and Vortex-Aero bars, to mount on our Retrax XR Pro Tonneau cover. As always buying from trailer is easy, Terri N make the experience much better, from order to delivery. Terri ensured compatibility with existing hardware, and that everything needed is included.
The Rhino system is an easy install, the fit of the T-slot plate style nuts was tight, eliminating the damage that can occur with loose fitting slot inserts. Assembly can be completed on or off vehicle, as long as all accessories are fitted first. If done off vehicle, accurate measurements will be needed for the base fitment.
We paired the Rhino system with 1up USA bike racks, and a Yakima box.
The item was actually the Rhino-rack roof rack complete system including Aero- bars and tracks for camper shells without existing tracks ( and not the quick mount legs pictured). I received the shipment with literally half of the components missing and had to wait for the missing parts to be sent. Still ended up with one part missing so had to wait again for that part to be sent. Took a total of 3 months from the time I ordered until I had all the parts to complete installation. I still gave 4 stars due to the quality of the product ( and at half the price of a comparable Yakima system), and because of the diligence and response of representatives (Amy and Tiffini) who helped me get the missing parts. I will note however (from reviewing other posted reviews) that shipping orders for this item with missing parts, and even with half the components missing, does not appear to be an isolated event)
I bought these racks for my Ford Transit and I couldn't be happier with the racks or the service from trailer. The rhino racks added a nice touch to an awkward looking van with its great looks and perfect functionality. Reading reviews about other racks making howling noises while driving made me a little hesitant , but am pleased to say, no noise whatsoever. I've added a basket to the racks and everything has worked perfectly. We do a lot of traveling,(2 adults,4 kids, 3 dogs) and the racks have provided exactly what we needed. Thanks etrailer for the best price and great service
This product is very intuitive in its design. Yes, it has a quick detach feature, but it can also be canted up or down, depending on the curvature os the vehicle roof. Attachment to the roof rails and the Vortex bars seems solid and looks great. And, if you transported camping gear to a site and don't want to take your roof rack offroading, simply remove the rack with the QD feature and snap on the included covers. I'm very pleased with my purchase!
I love the Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars. At first they were a pain to crossbar on, but they I used my thumbs correctly on the lock, and haven't had an issue since the first alignment. They really served their purpose and lifted the old Sears Sport 20-SV cargo top carrier off of the roof for easier mounting and for now hold the kayaks. I do need longer crossbars, but that's a future problem that etrailer.com will be glad to provide a solution to.
Works great like the quick disconnect for taking off cross bars
Very fast shipping, and exactly what I needed for our truck rail system with tonneau cover.
My Thule UpRide Roof bike rack mounted perfect in the T-Slots! Mounts easily and no issues in the Truxedo T-Slot rails on my Ford Ranger.
Mounts perfect in Truxedo T-Slot rails.
I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
Incredible product super reliable , over a year of having it not a single issue , ima super hardcore fisherman , and also use the bed of my truck for various activities I can’t believe how easy this is too completely disassemble and put back together , this is a thief deterrent. Use it on a F 150 2022 truck with retrax electric bed cover
my rhino crossbars and a rhino basket purchased else where months ago. With dogs traveling in the backseat and limiting my cargo space with a locking retrax bed cover I needed a little bit more room for those extra things I couldn’t live without in my travels. Paula S was the bomb and assisted me with the perfect size setup. Super fast shipping.
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.
Excellent product and construction. I also have used it for mounting a cargo carrier for vacation and they held the weight with contents with no issues.
Great product! Works well with our Thule Tracker II rails installed on our truck cap. Solid system that is easy to install and remove.
