These 50" long aluminum crossbars bring serious strength to your setup. With a 220-lb weight capacity, they’re built to handle the load when you’re carrying kayaks, canoes, or contractor gear. The solid construction keeps everything stable and secure, so you can drive with confidence on long trips or bumpy backroads.
Sliding loads or rattling gear can be frustrating when you’re on the move. These square bars include rubber strips in the top channels that cushion your cargo and help prevent it from slipping. Whether it’s a ladder, a kayak, or lumber, the strips keep things snug and reduce unwanted movement.
Security matters when your rack is holding expensive gear. Each of the four 2500 Series legs has lockable cover plates that secure the rack to your vehicle’s roof. Once everything’s tightened down and locked, your bars stay put until you’re ready to remove them.
You can adapt these bars for almost any job. The top channels are built for Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty accessories like load stops, ladder rollers, and eyebolts. That makes it easy to switch from hauling work gear during the week to outdoor equipment on the weekend—no extra tools or complicated add-ons required.
Made from corrosion-resistant aluminum with a black finish, these crossbars are ready for years of use. The complete system comes with a limited lifetime warranty on the crossbars and 5-year limited warranties on both the legs and fit kit, backing up that long-term durability with real support.

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
This is a great product but one down side to this product is that, either the instructions are very difficult to understand, or the measurements for the strips on the instruction page was all wrong. I had to customize the length of the strips for about an hour just so the roof rack would be in the perfect position. Im super happy with this product however. Delivery was right on time which was great because it was free shipping as well.
Was skeptical about Rhino Racks as I hadnt heard of them and given other brands (thule/yakima) stated they wouldn't work for my 2016 Toyota Prius C. It works great, so excited to have my bike and storage available in a compact car. Thanks!!!
Had this on my Prius C for about 2 years, it carried couches, bed frames, mattresses, etc. Handled over 100mph during those open interstate stretches. And just made the car look that much more useful.
Has been installed for roughly a year on my 2015 Prius C, including for a cross-country road trip with cargo strapped to the rack. Excellent lock-up and minimal road noise. Would recommend.
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!!!
Last minute purchase of bars and basket - excellent pick! etrailer came through with expedited delivery and the install was just per the instructions. It can be tricky but the paperwork was complete, the descriptions accurate and no pieces left over; always a plus.
The rack and basket are VERY sturdy, it is all very well made; my only concern would be the L-shaped clamps that hook to the door frame. I think the tension down will keep them in place but it would certainly be the one part of the system to check regularly.
A winner!
I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
The rack has worked well, the only thing I would change are the crossbars. The small rectangular bars do not hold surfboard rack padding well and they spin and move around. I've had to glue on wood strips to the crossbars to prevent the pads from spinning. Otherwise they worked. I've purchased another brand aero bar rack for another vehicle from etrailer and they are perfect.
I put it off for the longest time, but I finally bought a Rhino Rack and self-installed it on my car. I have since been kayaking a lot!! I don’t know why I was so reluctant to do it myself. I have to give credit to Shannon from etrailer, who was very helpful and informative and offered to assist over the phone if I needed help (but I didn’t need any help). All the parts were included, the instructions were clear, and it was easy to install.
High quality product with specific application for my vehicle. Clear instructions. Perfect fit. Attentive customer service. Great purchase.
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 have a Toyota Prius C and I love how it looks with the Rhino Rack roof rack :D Here in Los Ángeles California I see so many cars with roof rack and I decided to buy one for my car and it looks Beautiful, it gives Style and I can not wait to put my bike and my Surfboard on it :D Thank You etrailer :D
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!
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.
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.

Great fit kit for our 2013 Prius C. It took us several hours to figure out how to install because apparently we both didn’t read the instructions as good as we thought. My recommendation is READ the instructions first, don’t try to figure it out like we did. Once we thoroughly read the instructions the installation had no issues. We did watch a YouTube video so when we finally found the measurements we were only off an inch. We are happy to be able to have more room on our cross country road this July. The racks are quality and the fit kit easy. The cost is a little high for what you get but that’s on rhino rack not etrailer. We are very happy with our purchase. I will adjust my review later on if anything changes.
Info for this part was:
At etrailer we provide the best information available about the products we sell. We take the quality of our information seriously so that you can get the right part the first time.

You aren't the only ones who have just jumped in without reading first. That's basically a way of life for me, too. Ready, fire, aim, haha! So glad you got it done and now have that much more room for storage! Where will you be headed in July??
