To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
These Heavy Duty crossbars are built from aluminum and designed to handle serious weight. With a 220-lb capacity (always stay within your vehicle’s maximum roof load), they make it easy to haul everything from kayaks and canoes to camping gear. The sturdy square-bar profile gives you the solid foundation you want for bigger adventures and heavier setups.
The square bars aren’t just strong—they’re smartly designed with top channels that work with Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty accessories like ladder rollers, load stops, and eyebolts. That means you can set up your rack to carry tools during the week and swap to outdoor gear for the weekend without missing a beat. The rubber strips in those channels help cushion your load and give extra grip so nothing slides around while you drive.
When you’ve got valuable gear strapped up top, security matters. Each of the 2500 Series legs includes lockable cover plates that secure the rack to your vehicle. It’s a simple design that helps keep your setup right where you left it—whether you’re stopping overnight or running errands on the way to the water.
This complete system includes two 54" crossbars, four 2500 Series legs, and a custom fit kit for a clean, secure installation on your roof. The aluminum construction stays strong through years of use, and each component comes backed by Rhino-Rack’s limited warranties—lifetime for the crossbars and five years for the legs and fit kit. It’s a solid setup built to last through many road trips, workdays, and outdoor adventures.

Arrived when promised. Although one of the boxes was broken open in shipping, everything was undamaged and complete. Slow and methodical assembly resulted in straight forward installation.
Love the roof rack! Works great for ka yaks!

This is an excellent product. It was the only product that would fit my truck. I was able to mount it by myself, it took me longer than I thought it would, but it helps if you watch first a video on line about how to put it together. The support staff is excellent if you miss any parts. I highly recommend it for the 2015 Nissan Rogue.

Just received product. Relatively easy to follow instructions. Product seems sturdy and quality built. Will use for transport of various recreational equipment ( bicycles, canoe, fishing gear, snow ski's, etc.) ), as well as larger products when/where applicable. Overall very happy .
Two items I received surprised me when I unpacked the box were the rails because they were not black like I saw in the picture, and the rubber insert that I am having a hard time sliding in the rail. Should this rubber insert have come already installed in the rail or is there a top on how to put in with ease?
It works well on my RDX and I love it. The only thing is that due to it is some seam space between window and the roof, you will hear some wind noise but that is common for this kind of fit kit for naked roof.
The rack fit well and was easy to install. Seems to be made well. The problem is the amount of road noise. I never even put the basket on. It was so loud, it roared. I repositioned it several times but the noise was way too much and I finally just removed it. I spent a lot of money for the rack and the basket and now they are in storage. I wish it would have worked out better because I thought it looked really good.
Well engineered rack that fits my Ram 2500 crew cab well. A bit of wind noise at highway speeds. I have the heavy duty cross pieces with a square cross section.
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
I purchased this because I needed 11" brackets and I only needed two to add to my existing setup. Other manufacturers (I could only find one) only sold packs of four at a ridiculously high price. My Rhino Rack mounts and bar arrived within a few days of my order and appear very sturdy and well made. I bought them to add a third support for an awning and a solar shower on the roof of my van. I think I found the perfect solution.
Purchase a roof rack system for my 2016 Acura RDX. Great product. Easy install and removal. I remove it to save gas and keep it away from elements when not in use. My only complaint is that it came with white marker stickers for your door jams. My car is white. I used a Sharpie covered with clear Scotch tape instead.
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!!!
This Rhino Roof Rack went together easily & fit perfectly on my 2017 Acura RDX and after a year of using to transport kayaks, I highly recommend & will definitely buy again (from eTrailer!)
I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
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.
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 works great. Very strong and reliable. Holds my ladders with ease. I’ve had it loaded down and done 80mph on the highway no problem.
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.
These are the perfect racks for a low profile mounting of solar panels on my Sprinter van.
Easy installation ! Very well explained . Works great with my Basket.
