Features to know about

Bring the Big Gear Without Worry: 54" Aluminum Crossbars with 165-lb Capacity

These full-length aluminum crossbars give you the confidence to haul your bigger gear—kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, or cargo boxes—without running out of space. The 54" bar span provides plenty of room for multiple accessories, and the 165-lb weight capacity keeps your load stable. The solid aluminum construction adds durability for long trips and heavy hauling.

Cut Down on Road Noise: Aerodynamic Sportz Bars with Dual Rubber Strips

Wind noise can make a long drive feel even longer. The Sportz crossbars have an aero-style shape that helps smooth airflow over the roof. The rubberized dual strips in the top channels guide air evenly across the bars to reduce drag and whistling. You’ll notice a quieter ride, especially at highway speeds, without having to modify or wrap anything yourself.

Pack for Any Adventure: Works with Channel-Mount and Clamp-On Accessories

Whether it’s a kayak for the weekend or a cargo box for a cross-country trip, these bars are ready to take it all. They work with most bike, watersport, snow, and cargo carriers—plus they fit both channel-mount and clamp-on attachments. You can also use Rhino-Rack accessories that connect through the Zwifloc fastening system, giving you flexibility to mix and match mounts for every season.

Lock It Down and Go: Secure 2500 Series Legs with Cover Plates

Once it’s in place, you won’t have to second-guess stability or security. The included 2500 Series legs create a custom fit on your roof and lockable cover plates secure the rack to your vehicle. It’s a dependable setup that stays put while keeping your gear safe when you park at campgrounds or trailheads.

Built to Last Through Every Trip: Rust-Resistant Black Finish and 5-Year Warranty

Made from corrosion-resistant aluminum with a black finish, this rack is built to handle years of outdoor use. Rain, sun, or road grime—none of it will keep you from loading up and heading out. Backed by a 5-year warranty, it’s a long-term addition to your gear setup that’s ready for every adventure ahead.

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.

Still rock solid after a year. Very happy with the Rack. My daughter has used it from time to time over the past year when something wont fit in her car, and shes had no problems with it at all.

Excellent price and quick shipping. Excellent support for missing bar end cap. Rack was easy to put together and install and video was helpful. My only complaint is when trying to tie down kayak to cradle it is not easy to keep the loop over the top of the upright "U" shaped bar, it keeps siding down. We wrapped two pieces of foam around the bar to create a channel to hold the strap now it is easy.

The Rhino Rack is very well made. I installed it my self on our 2016 Ford Escape, but had an assist from my wife to fine tune it at the end. There was no whistling or any other distracting wind noise on our 3,500 mile drive to visit family out West. A Sear's Cargo Box was easily mounted to the Rhino Rack and it remained centered and secured at western highway speed limits plus. The included locks on the roof mounts were the selling point for me. The Rhino Rack remained securely mounted to the roof with no additional adjustments or tightening being needed. Great Product. Donna P. @ etrailer was super with the order.

Been wanting to get a roof rack for my small Honda H-RV suv for some time now. Finally decided to pull the trigger on one and opted for this Rhino rack system.
Watching the etrailer install video and following the manufacturer's instruction, the front rack went on easily and perfectly. However, the rear track turned out to be a very long process. Why? Because I thought the manufacturer's measurements for the rear was an error. After the rack was assembled, it didn't seat into the roof channel at all. It appeared to be well short. So, I proceeded to use my mechanical ingenuity to get this rack to fit on my own. After a lengthy span of time and numerous adjustments, I'd come to realize that the manufacturer's measurements were correct. The footing did not sit perfectly until the unit was fully tightened against the vehicle. Live and learn.....once again.
The rack is absolutely solid, and looks very clean and sharp on top of the H-RV. I could not detect any additional noise while driving, even at highway speed.
The main purpose of this roof rack was for transporting my recreational kayak. I was not aware that these bars had a rubber strip running along the entire top of the bar. This turned out to be perfect for the kayak. Now, I didn't need to buy a specific kayak cradle. The kayak, one strapped down, is held absolutely secured to the rack.
I am very happy with this product! Once again, etrailer comes through perfectly with another of my order. Prompt service and indepth product info are the reasons why I shop here!

The rack was shipped within a day of order and delivered on the expected date. I got email updates with the order confirmation and shipping information. Etrailers provided excellent customer service. The web site allowed me to select the product with confidence that I was getting the right rack for my 2015 Subaru Legacy.

Assembly and installation were easy using the provided instructions. It probably took about 45-60 minutes to complete. I especially liked the measuring strips that Rhino provides. It makes setting the foot width on the bars painless.

I have not used the rack yet, but it's a solid mount and I do not expect any difficulties. It also looks good on the car.

I purposely left the cover plates off in the pictures so the clamp mechanism was visible.

I got the product a little later than expected and came in a huge box that ended up moving the product around a little. It is all metal though so it was mostly still in very good condition. (little scratches here and there) Took me a while to figure out the pads due to the instructions being different from the actual product but very simple in general. I could put one together in maybe 30 minutes now. Tons of videos are online which take time to watch but are very helpful. Overall install went well and very happy with look of product. I am buying accessories today for both kayaks and bikes to be mounted on. Rhino Rack is also a great company to call. They will spend all the time in the world to help you with what you need. Etrailer might do this as well but I went with Rhino Rack. Now just waiting for summer!

I put 3 stars because its a useful functional non-harmful roof rack solution for my WRX sedan. This review lost 2 stars because the rubber top pieces get damaged upon any accessory removal or install like(bike, snowboard rails etc). Additionally, these accessories also look to be weathering quickly because of build quality. Hopefully this helps your decision! Thanks
by:
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.

Got this for a 2015 Prius. High quality works great. Use their measurements included as a guide and measure everything out yourself before cutting the spacers and when installing. I had to make minor adjustments to make it perfect.

Looking for a roof rack for my Toyota Corolla IM 2017 and chose the Rhino rack-Vortex Aero bars combination. It is strong rack, good quality and nice finish (I picked the black color). Installation requires patience but not difficult, instructions could be more detailed. Happy with the solution it gave me, finding a good rack to transport my Mountain bike to the trail. Highly recommended!

The rack is awesome! Strong, firm hold and nice looking. When doing surveys, I put my ladders on the rack.
I highly recommend this etrailer.

Ordered the vortex roof rack and road warrior bike carrier, they delivered it sooner than than expected which was great. Easy to install but they only concern I had was the spec measurements need to be adjust to fit my car because following their specs left my hatch back hitting the carrier when up and even after the adjustment it still hits the rear tire of the bike but all in all I am very satisfied and am going to buy more products (wheel mount, weather tech wind deflectors). So happy saved tons than buying from bike shop or another online retailer.

2015 Nissan Rogue
Where do I start?

I've been whitewater kayaking for 22 or so years now. I've always used used either Yakima or Thule products...

Until I bought a 2015 Nissan Rogue with a naked roof. The curvature of the roof and large door jams mean that Yakima and Thule can't make racks for them. I went to a place that does custom installs and again because of the curvature of the roof, they couldn't give me a rack. This meant no kayaking which is really bad news.

Enter the Rhino rack system. I purchased the feet, the fit kit, the cross bars and a Yakima "big stack" stacker. The first issue I had is the reccomended size for the Nissan Rogue is only 48 inches. Way too small too haul 4-5 (very light) whitewater kayaks. I called etrailer and they were SUPER helpful, told me I can buy the 65 in cross bars and they'll work fine.

I held my breath and placed my order. I was nervous leaving my trusted name brands. The order arrived super fast (they told me it would arrive by Friday but it actually arrived on Thursday) and everything was packaged rock solid. I was impressed.

I read the instructions and put the rack system on my car. It took about a hour (it was hot and I worked slowly) but the rack system is SUPER SOLID. I love it. Rhino might have a "forever" customer out of me.

-The rack system is very stable. I can't move it with my hands by pushing or pulling.
-The rubber stripping you put on the top and bottom of the bar is an awesome added feature AND it reduces wind noise.
-Adding the fairing reduced wind noise even further. With four boats on the roof you couldn't hear any extra noise.

The ONE thing I dislike is that you need to use the supplied Allen wrench to take the rack on and off the car. It's a small complaint, but other systems I've used in the past don't have them.

I paid much less for this system than I would have if I purchased one of the aforementioned systems, but I'm really really satisfied with the product. We will see how well it holds up over long-term use, but it looks awesome!

I ordered the entire set up, as well as carriers for our kayaks. At first, it seemed I had ordered the wrong parts, as the feet were rather wobbly. I sent a photo to customer service, and got a response from Julia almost immediately (and it was a Saturday!). She included a video with her email, and my question about proper installation was solved. The ordering process was simple, shipping was fast, and Rhino Rack has an excellent brand reputation. Installation was fairly straight forward. E- trailer made everything so simple from beginning to end, and I will be buying all of my accessories from them.

2011 Ram 3500
Although it a product review, I have to give it to the customer service department... YOU GUYS ROCK! As far as the product, it is very simple to install as long as you take the time to read and fully understand the steps provided. My kayaks are the pelican tandem 13' long by 3' wide and weighs about 70 pounds each. Since I received the roof racks last Friday, I've only been able to test with one kayak; however, just by the way the rack behaved, I can say that it will comfortably hold the weigh with both on.
by:
The rack was easy to install and after some adjustment, it holds well to the roof. It is well made and strong. It holds my light rack on very well at high speeds and hard cornering. Conclusion, its a great rack for a vehicle that doesn't have factory rack mounts. Installation will go easier with a friend to help.

2017 Honda CR-V
Fairly easy to install onto my 2017 Honda CR-V. The crossbars feel very sturdy and are securely attached to the vehicle. Took me about 30 minutes to get it installed and could be done even quicker if you get help from another person. The bars themselves are a little fat so my Thule ski rack has a super tight fit. There is very minimal wind noise, so I'll probably be getting a fairing for that. The instructions felt a bit jumbled but with just the measurements alone, you can install it with a bit of common sense.
by:
The instructions were clear and the rack installed perfectly. I am impressed with the custom foot mouldings that match my car's contours exactly, and the rack is still as tight as when I installed it 4 weeks ago. I have been using it frequently to pick up 8' lumber for a large shelving project I have underway, and I hope to soon use it to carry my kayaks. The rubber strips on the top hold the lumber so securely I have no worry of having the load slip off the car. The two negatives I have are: (1) the crossbar end-caps consist of 2 locking and 2 slip-ons. I have come out to my car to see 1 of the slip-ons half slipped-off and I expect I will lose one or both of them in short order; and (2) the instructions should put the forward bar at least 1 inch further forward. As you will see in the photo, Rhino's guidelines result in the front bar being higher than the back bar, which results in additional wind pressure on the goods being carried. Finally, I would like to thank etrailer for shipping the product exactly as promised and also for packaging the entire order in an additional box as I requested. I found your service to be outstanding! You are welcome to post my comments and or photo if you should wish to.

2019 Chevrolet Equinox
Very happy with the results. Rhino Rack would not confirm a fit for my 2019 Chevy Equinox LT. The installation instructions listed cutting the front measuring strips at 120 mm for the front crossbar for the Euro bar. This left my legs a good six inches too narrow to span my roof. After some tweaking I achieved a good sold fit. None of your competitors would claim they had a fit kit for the 2019 Equinox. Thanks to etrailer.com for recommending this product.

2018 Ford F-150
I installed the rack on a 2018 F150 SuperCab. These racks are really nice medium load racks, well built and easy to install. If I followed the instructions the pads on the front cross bar would not sit down in the drip channels. I narrowed the front leg locations by 5mm per side or a total of 10mm or approximately .4". I sent the pics to Rhino Racks Engineering Department but have not heard back to see if they liked my fix. I like it! I recommend getting Rhino Racks approval before making these mods but that's what it took for mine to fit.

    There is absolutely an option for you! The best roof rack for your 2018 Ford Edge with the Vista glass roof is the Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack because it gives your car a rack that is extremely functional while maintaining a clean, refined look. The Rhino-Rack RS 2500 made up of Vortex crossbars # RRVA137B-2, Leg kit # RRRLKVA, and Fit kit # DK432 uses aerodynamic bars to ensure you have a quiet ride.

    I do have a solution for you but unfortunately there are no adapter kits available to carry your 38" wide canoe. You need to use a different roof rack system or use a canoe carrier. For a roof rack system I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack which includes 54" crossbars # RRVA137B-2, the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and the DK Fit Kit # DK299. This gives you longer crossbars that have a max weight capacity of 165 lbs. To carry your canoe just on the crossbars will also require...

  • Recommended Rhino-Rack Roof Rack For A 2016 Ram 3500 And How Does Roof Rack Capacity Work
    Hey Bob, Roof rack systems are typically only rated up to 165lbs because that's typically above the capacity of the vehicle's roof. More recently all manufacturers are switching to removing the capacity from the listing and telling consumers to check the weight capacity of the roof because people have been overloading their roofs and causing damage. The # RR38ZE is missing a crossbar but includes the correct amount of feet and and fit kit components so you'll need to order the following...

If you plan on using the roof rack frequently though I highly recommend going with a custom roof rack for your Malibu. A custom rack is one that uses a fit kit specially designed and tested to fit your roof properly. The most cost-effective option we have in this category is the Inno rack which consists of the Square Crossbars...

  • What Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Package is Recommended for a 2019 CRV?
    I recommend the Rhino rack package including the Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2, Rhino-Rack Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA, and the Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Legs # DK284. The Rhino-Rack is sturdy, has an attractive design to compliment your CRV, and the aero bar design reduces wind noise and is also a great value. If you want a premium rack option for a newer vehicle like your 2019 Model CRV, the Thule package Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711400, Evo...

  • Naked Roof Rack Recommendation for 2013 Honda CRV to Carry Longer Roof Box for Skis
    The naked roof racks that fit your 2013 Honda CR-V do put the front bar significantly closer to the windsheild like with the Rhino Rack part # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK284 we have installed on a 2013 CR-V so this would be the way to go. I attached a picture that shows the front bar is more than the amount of inches forward that you would need plus an install video on a similar 2014 CR-V as well.

  • Cost Effective Roof Rack Recommendation for 2011 Honda Accord
    What we've found with the Sportrack Semi-Custom roof racks like the part # SR1002 is that they don't always fit the best. Reason being they are designed to fit as many vehicles as possible which means they don't fit everything perfectly. The price makes these hard to not be tempted by, but your best option is a fully custom fit roof rack like the Inno part # INB127, # INSUT, and # INK745 otherwise you'll have to get somewhat creative to get the Sportrack to fit right.

    The Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK401 is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Kia Forte and would be a great rack for a foldable kayak carrier like the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073 which is a J-style rack that can fold down when not in use.

  • Best Roof Rack For Thule Hullavator On 2024 Acura RDX
    Hello Geoffrey, thanks for reaching out. You are on the right track here. On your 2024 Acura RDX a 60" bar would be cutting it close. We can do a roof rack with a longer bar; we would just have to part it out separately instead of doing a full kit which is not a problem at all. Does your RDX have the factory roof rails running from front to back? Or is it a naked roof? Let me know and I am happy to send you parts list with everything you need. For an example, if you have a naked roof,...

  • Recommended Rhino Rack Roof Rack for 2017 Acura RDX with Naked Roof
    The difference between the Rhino Rack RS2500 and ROC25 system is just the legs/feet that hold the bars and the way they mount to the vehicle; the ROC25 system is a bit newer than the RS2500. I'll also add that both of these systems are only available with black bars, so that's why you're not seeing a silver bar system available on our site. For your 2017 Acura RDX, there is only a ROC25 system available for the naked roof with part # RR66GR. These are a great choice because the aerodynamic...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Acura RDX with a Naked Roof
    I'm glad you like our site. We work hard to make it easy to use. If I were choosing between Yakima and Rhino-Rack roof racks I would choose Rhino-Rack. The reason for this is because first, the Rhino-Rack roof racks tend to cost less, and second, the Yakima round bars are among the most noisy roof racks available. With any rack there is going to be some noise but the elliptical bars on the Rhino-Rack roof racks would not be as noisy as the Yakima round bars. For Rhino-Rack you have your...

  • Roof Rack Kayak Carrier and Hitch Recommendation 2017 Acura RDX
    For your 2017 Acura RDX that has a naked roof the roof rack I would recommend is the Rhino Rack part # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, # DK337 as it's a nicer rack that doesn't have quite as high of a price tag as other options. Then for a kayak carrier the etrailer part # e98878 would work really well. Then for a hitch our highest capacity option that is mostly hidden the etrailer hitch part # e24AR would work really well.

    After checking with the manufacturer, I confirmed that for Acura RDX models after 2018, the Sears Sport SV 20 Roof Cargo Box will no longer fit the factory rails. If you do not have any factory roof rails or crossbars, I recommend the Yakima roof rack kit as an attractive and sturdy roof rack system designed to fit bare vehicle roofs. This package consists of # Y01157 Yakima HD Crossbars, # Y00146 BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars, # Y03541 HD Bar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine,...
