When you’re loading up for a weekend on the water or a long road trip, space on the roof matters. These 46" long aluminum crossbars give you plenty of room to mount multiple accessories side by side—like kayak carriers, cargo boxes, or bike racks. The full-length design makes it easy to balance your load and spread out your gear without feeling cramped.
Nobody likes wind noise humming over the roof at highway speeds. The aerodynamic shape of these bars helps the air flow smoothly over them, while the rubberized Vortex strips in the top channels break up the airflow to cut down on whistling and vibration. The result is a quieter, more relaxed drive whether you’re heading across town or across the country.
Leaving your vehicle parked while grabbing lunch on a trip shouldn’t feel risky. These crossbars include integrated plastic locks that help deter theft of channel-mounted accessories, and the lockable cover plates on the legs secure the rack itself to your vehicle. For even more protection, you can upgrade to all-metal locks (RRVA-LEC4 – sold separately).
From camping gear to construction supplies, this rack is built to handle serious weight. The aluminum construction keeps things light but strong, with a 165 lb capacity (always follow your vehicle’s maximum roof load). It’s durable enough for repeated use and backed by Rhino-Rack’s limited lifetime warranty on the crossbars and 5-year limited warranty on the legs.
Getting this rack installed doesn’t require complicated modifications. The included RX legs clamp securely to raised rails for a custom fit that stays put under load. Once mounted, you’ve got a stable platform ready for everything from bike carriers to rooftop cargo boxes—solid, stable, and ready to roll.

How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com. And today we're taking a look at the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Bars on our 2022 GMC Terrain. Now adding a roof rack to the top of your Terrain is gonna help solve the issue of having limited cargo space. This is gonna make it so you can get those bigger, bulkier items out on the road for your adventure. So let's take a closer look and see how it interacts with our Terrain. Our roof rack is 46 inches long with our crossbars, and that's gonna give you plenty of space to get your rooftop accessories up.
So if you have a cargo box, bike carrier, or kayak carrier, you'll be able to use this as the foundation. You also have T-channel slots that you can cut out from your vortex slip, and that'll allow you to get those channeled accessories installed. On the end cap here, you're gonna have a plastic lock. And you can switch that out for a lock cord to give you an extra measure of security. This guy gives you a good low profile, so you can minimize how much you're adding to the top of your Terrain.
Installation's super easy on this guy. Only thing you're gonna really need is a tape measure, and that's gonna allow you to get your spacing set up. You can take advantage of the fact that you have a raised roof rack already from the manufacturer. Now, as far as the install, you have an included torque wrench, and it's one of those low stake installations that you can use a partner, friend, or family member to do. So you can make those memories of getting set up for your adventure.
Here at etrailer, we're a community of enthusiasts. And we'd love for you to share those photos with us. So grab your tape measure and we'll go ahead and show you how to get it installed. We're gonna start our installation by removing our end cap using our Rhino-Rack tool. Once we remove our tool, we'll be able to slide in our tower.
Now we're gonna align our tower with the lower channel. We're just gonna make sure we have our stopper slid in, and we'll just get it right there. So from here we're gonna be able to use our included measuring strip to make sure we have the appropriate spread. And we're just gonna go ahead and place this across the top of our Terrain. So I'm just gonna reach across, and I'm using the front hole from the factory crossbars as my reference point of where I want to align. And I'm gonna go through and measure to make sure I have the spread that I want between my crossbars, and make sure I'm aligned on both sides. You wanna make sure you're going from side to side as you tighten, just because it tends to pull, and then you're gonna get a torque until you click. The included tool is really nice and it gives you a full indication to let you know that you're secured. So you can see we're nice and tight on the rack, and all you have to do is lock her down. This is gonna look at the installation and the fit of the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Bars for your 2022 GMC Terrain. I'm Ed, this is etrailer.com, and you have a great day.

5 stars. Use these every summer. Take them off and on by myself and have never had any issue with them. Still happy as ever with my purchase.

I like the products pretty much considering it was the only option available for my vehicle. The roof racks do cause a bit more wind noise than I had hoped but Im used to it now and just turn the radio up a bit more. I did go back and read my reviews again and they are still accurate a year later.

Thank you for your review. I recommend to make sure the rubber strip in the bottom of the bar is pressed securely into the channel. If you are still experiencing wind noise I recommend to add a fairing to your set up with part # RRRF4 which will divert the air over the bars.
