I needed roof racks on my 2023 Silverado to accommodate the shape of my canoe. I had Yakima racks on the camper shell but the canoe was hitting the top of my truck. My Rhino racks showed up yesterday evening and I’m ready to go this morning!



by:

This was a great purchase. I originally ordered roof crossbars from somewhere else and immediately returned them. They were a universal fit and were not secure at all when they were tightened down. They were from a third seller on Amazon. I found these on etrailer and I am glad that I made the purchase. I did not want to spend the money at first that these cost, but am glad that I did. The install was easy and the crossbars are very secure and hold up well with the cargo basket installed. They were well worth the money. Can't wait to try them out when we go camping. Thank you etrailer.



by:

That was a little more difficult than I had planned it being. But, overall it went smoothly because I followed a video of someone doing an install. I love it!! I already put on my kayak rack too!!



by:

Amazing product! This rack is as good as Thule and Yakama, and is about $100+ cheaper. I have owned both, and love this rack. As good of quality or better, and great accessories as well.



by:

Ease of order, receipt, installation and excellent customer service is what I received in this order.
Thank you, e-trailer!

There are very few options for mounting a roof rack on a 2013 Tacoma Access Cab. The Rhino-Rack system ordered from etrailer arrived earlier than predicted. It took me less than an hour to unpack, inventory, read instructions and install. I installed RockyMount Tomahawk bike racks to the crossbars with ease. The setup is stout! Instructions were easy to follow and the system for determining the mounting position of the legs is extremely accurate. sliding the wind covers onto the crossbars was a bit of a challenge, but a little shot of soapy water made the strips slide much more easily. The crew at etrailer made certain that I ordered the correct setup for my truck!



by:

Hi George from etrailer,
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.



by:

Takes a little while to assemble the rack bars.
The stickers are great I can mark the positions after measuring the distance between the bars.
One of the screws is underneath the bar; it is hard to reach to tighten the bars.
Finally, I got the roof rack installed and it looks good.



by:

Once installed the product is very sturdy and looks great. But the directions are hard to follow because of the separate components and would have been really tough without the video which was great. I have one problem, how can I eliminate the annoying wind sound when driving when nothing on the rack. I saw a video where wrapping a line around the crossbar can help. It has helped a lot but not completely. Is there another secret for this?



by:

Buying this rack was a decision that I'm glad to report was spot on. It not only looks good on my Ford Maverick Hybrid but it has held up well and looks as good today as it did the day I bought it. It is also solid as a rock. The Rhino is also priced lower than other brands of similar quality.



by:

I ordered this kit to replace one rubber base (PN M366) that got lost. While the rubber bases are PN M367, they are an acceptable replacement, being just a little thinner. I tried this one first:
Repl Pad For Rhino-rack 2500 Roof Rack Legs - Qty 1RR28VY and it didn't work, having a wedge-shaped contour on the car-facing side that did not work for my application.



by:

I've been using my Rhino-Rack primarily for hauling up to two kayaks. It has performed very. On the particular trip we are on now we went thru some pretty high winds blowing from the side of our rig and the kayak stayed secured. I would highly recommend this for anything you want to carry on top of your vehicle.



by:

I bought the roof rack to carry kayaks back and forth from Pennsylvania to Florida. The rack is solid and performs that task very well. My plan was to take the rack off and on but I decided to just leave it on. I do notice some wind noise since I've added the rack but it does not distract me and I would say that it is not excessive but it is noticeable.
I did have problems during the installation. I mounted the racks on a Ford 250 super duty. And the instructions were very clear as to where the feet that's support the rack where to be installed. Plastic strips are cut and the feet that support the rack on the roof push up to the cut plastic strips and that is what determines placement. I read the instructions several times and had seen an installation on another truck owned by a friend of mine. When I pushed the feet to the proper position I could not attached the clamps from the rack feet to the rain gutter on the truck which holds the whole assembly on the roof. They were too short. I spoke to Etrailer and a consensus was that I had cut the strips correctly. Etrailer's input of course was over the phone and they could not actually see or measure anything that I did. Nevertheless, in order to install the rack I had to move the feet on each side a bit closer to the rain gutter on the truck. I did not think that this would make any difference and based on the performance I have not noticed any problems. I would have given this product and excellent rating if I did not have to deal with the little problem that I had with the fit. As I said I have not taken it off the roof and I reach up and check it now and then and it's as solid as the day I put it on.

This review covers the Rhino Rack 2500 Vortex Aero crossbars and associated parts (DK284, RRRLKVA, RRVA137S-2) for a naked roof installation on a 2018 Honda CR-V.

Very solid racks. We just took our first trip using them and the didn't budge. As recommended, a few days after installing, I tightened the bolts a bit. I'm not sure they needed it--just a little insurance.

The installation process was clear, but fairly detailed. It would be easy to miss a step, so take your time. Also, I tried a couple shortcuts in the order when installing on the car, but had to back track. So, go in the order they give you.

The racks easily supported our filled "pod" and a couple surfboards, strapped side-by-side. Sorry, no photos of the rack loaded. One thing to watch out for is that our old Thule pod almost didn't fit because of the thickness of the racks. I had to loosen the bolts almost entirely.

Of note: I feel that although I followed the measurements to the millimeter, the fit on our 2018 Honda CR-V wasn't exact. Where the pads sit on the roof of the car didn't align perfectly. I could have adjusted this by just re-trimming the rubber pads that go in the channels, but it's not a big deal, so I just left it.

Finally, I do have one concern. The angle of final installation doesn't really protect the racks from theft very well. The plastic plate that locks over the screw would allow someone with the proper tool to get up under it and loosen the bolts. That being said, someone so inclined could also just break the little plastic door or drill a hole in it to access the bolt. So, I guess it's just a deterrent anyway.

Overall, I'm very happy with the racks and etrailer.com! Despite shipping delays due to Covid-19, they were able to get the racks to me in time for an upcoming trip. I did choose to expedite shipping, but the cost was very reasonable.



by:

Easy assembly and installation. Pay careful attention to pad direction as shown in instruction sheet for the fit kit. One gripe: one end-cap refuses to lock (blue plastic key lock). Had to tape it on so I don’t lose it.



by:

Quality is ok. A lot of plastic. Only one star as it took 6 hours to put together. Awful instructions. Videos on line were too fast and did not show enough detail at critical points. Measurements are critical but they were off. Did anyone actually try this on a 2023 Rav4? Measuring strips were plastic. This caused the brackets to ride over them which caused the 1st incorrect fit. Once corrected both front and rear measurements for the bracket placement were still off by a few mm. (By the way, can't you use standard measure instead of metric?). This caused the rubber feet to not be in the correct position. (Too wide on the roof). In addition the rubber feet which are supposed to be designed to the car roof pitch at the correct position on the roof were off. This caused both racks to be slanted vs. parallel with the ground. Unless that is the design. But not noted anywhere in the instructions. Finally the "torque tool" stripped out of the cheap plastic holder after 2nd use. Making the lack of a correct torque worse as the bolts on the brackets which are an allen socket, have a pin in the middle of the socket. This means you can not use a normal allen wrench. We had to use the broken torque tool with a vise grip attached. Why would you have this set up? Just use an normal allen socket. In addition the tool with an accompanying vice grip pliers must be carried in the car in case you need to remove the racks. Also, the covers that lock to cover the bracket are a joke. I could snap them off with two fingers. What's the point? Another item, (Key), to carry in the car in case you have to remove the rack. If this rack is a joke it was an expensive one. Rino was a good product but I will not buy a product made by them again. Do not recommend.

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.



by:

Installed this and 65" Vortex Areo crossbars on a 2015 RAM 5500 chassis cab/crew cab. It is listed to fit 1500 to 3500 RAM's and neither Rhino-Rack or etrailer would confirm it would fit the 5500. My research suggested there was not much, if any difference, between the 3500 and 5500 crew cab, so ordered it any way. Installation was relatively easy, fit seemed to be good and have made multiple 200-300 mile trips with a 75lb kayak. Good price, great customer service and fast delivery through etrailer.



by:

Very happy with etrailer.com and the amount of information I found before I made my selection. I went with the Rhino Rack for my 2016 Corolla. I watched the videos, read the instructions and within just a couple hours, my rack was attached, my canoe was loaded and I was out taking a test drive. 2 issues with the instructions. I didn't realize that there were two different size hooks...I did not see it mentioned in either the video or the written instructions. I got it right, but it was purely by chance. The other issue was the rubber pads which were, again, not mentioned. I installed them wrong the first time, but it didn't take me long to see my mistake. Happy with the stability and looks of the rack, and the help I received from Robert during the ordering process.



by:

Pretty nice rack system. Held up to my 90lb canoe no problem. However a piece did fly off on the highway and the "locking" bar end cap can pull off super easy.
The directions were ok. There is some stuff you have to kind of figure out for yourself, mainly the roof trim. I plan to leave the rack on so I drilled theough the trim



by:

The boxes were delivered quickly and promptly (earlier than expected). The instructions were easy to follow. I just needed the space to lay everything out and to match the numbers to the correct items. My only issue was that the specs for my 2016 Nissan Versa Note SV asked for 144mm for the front, but in fact, it needed to be 148mm. The rear asked for 142mm, but it needed to be 144.5mm. Once I figured that out, the rest was straight forward. The crossbars are super sturdy and the rubberized top is a nice add to keep things from slipping. Thank you!

I plan on installing a V-boat rack on the car rack. I can't wait to transport canoes!



by:

Rhino Vortex roof rack (w/attachments). Once instructions have been read through then installation was pretty straightforward. Quite pleased with this rack! Fit, design, wind noise reduction all better than expected. etrailer came through as a first rate provider-nothing but good words for them.



by:

This is a perfect fit for our 2015 Prius V with "naked" roof. Instructions were clear and accurate, and the bars are solid and able to support our canoe and kayak easily. We added the air deflector, as there was a bit of wind noise, but now there is none. Great product at much lower price than the big names.



by:

Not too hard of an install and it looks great! Highly recommend for a basic utility roof rack for your 23 Tacoma.



by:

Superb fitment. Precisely fits the roof of your car giving me confidence lugging my canoe or car top carrier around. Reasonably priced. You can tell the feet were designed specifically for your car. I've recommended etrailer and this Rhino Racks to several friends. Installation is super easy too with included measuring tapes, stickers to always return the mounts to the same location, etc.

  • Compatibility of Rhino Rack Roof Rack Feet w/ Thule AeroBlade Crossbars
    The mechanism the Rhino Rack # RRRLKVA uses to attach to the crossbars is different enough that the Rhino Rack feet wouldn't be compatible with your existing Thule AeroBlade crossbars, I'm sorry to say. I checked with Thule, and did indeed confirm that they for some reason don't offer a roof rack solution for your Altima. Your best bet would be to install a Rhino-Rack roof rack using the following parts: 44 inch Vortex Aero Crossbars, part # RRVA118B-2 for black or # RRVA118S-2 for silver Roof...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2009 Nissan Altima Coupe
    I attached a link that has all of the compatible roof racks we carry for your 2009 Nissan Altima for you to check out. The Rhino Rack you referenced that consists of part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK169 has been confirmed as a fit so I would recommend it for you. Then for a kayak carrier you would want the Thule Hull-a-Port Carrier part # TH834. This is a J-style carrier that would work well to transport your kayak. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

  • Rhino Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Nissan Altima
    If your 2012 Nissan Altima is a 4-door model you will want to use the # DK168 Clamp kit and if you have a 2 door model you would want to use the # DK169 Clamp kit. So we we are both right and wrong depending on which vehicle you have! To complete the roof rack you would want the Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 for black or # RRVA118S-2 for silver bars, and foot pack # RRRLKVA.

    First he would need to start with a roof rack. The Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK169 would be an excellent option that doesn't break the bank. Then for a carrier that will fit that rack and carry the two surfboards the Thule SUP Shuttle part # TH811XT would be the best option. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

    Thule does not have a roof rack for a 2008 Nissan Altima coupe. The rack that is most similar is the Rhino-Rack roof rack with Euro style bars using the following parts: Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 Feet # RRRLKVA Fit Kit # DK169

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2012 Nissan Altima Coupe
    For a one time roof rack use application you are going to want to go with an economically priced option. But since you will be traveling such a long distance you'll need an option that will be solid and safe. So the best option for that for your 2012 Nissan Altima 2 door would be the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK169.
