Specs:
The low-profile, aerodynamic Rhino-Rack ROC25 roof rack lets you carry gear and accessories on your vehicle's roof quietly and with little wind drag. It's designed for installation on a naked roof (a roof without factory raised side rails, flush rails, fixed mounting points, tracks, or rain gutters). The rack's Vortex Aero crossbar has built-in rubber strips that disrupt airflow for a quiet ride, and the bar is constructed of aluminum so it won't rust. This bar blends seamlessly with the support legs to provide a from-the-factory look, and it is custom cut to your specific vehicle so it requires no adjustment during installation. The legs also include built-in locks that protect your gear and the rack from theft.
The rubberized Vortex strips in the top channel of the crossbar disrupt airflow with evenly spaced, wave-shaped grooves. This carefully controlled turbulence minimizes wind noise and whistling, so you won't need to add a fairing to your roof rack. And the slim, elliptical Vortex Aero crossbar cuts through the air with minimal drag - even at highway speeds.
The ROC25 roof rack has a flush-mount design so the crossbar terminates at the legs with no overhang. This provides the rack with a seamless, from-the-factory look, and it also helps to improve aerodynamics by reducing drag and wind noise.
The Vortex Aero crossbar is made of structural-grade anodized aluminum with an H-shaped internal extrusion. This extrusion strengthens the bar without adding a significant amount of weight. And the aluminum bar won't rust so you can leave it on your roof year-round.
The rack's durable, glass-reinforced nylon legs are designed to stand up to cargo loads and weather extremes. They're also UV treated to withstand long-term exposure to sunlight.
The roof rack arrives at your doorstep almost completely assembled. The crossbar is already mounted into the nylon legs. And the bar is pre-cut to match the width of your vehicle's roof, so you won't need to waste any time centering it. The few remaining assembly steps are straightforward and require only the vehicle-specific fit kit.
The vehicle-specific fit kit includes pads and clamps specifically designed to fit the contours of your roof. To install, simply attach the pivoting plates and rubberized pads to the bottom of each leg. Then secure the legs to your vehicle with the metal clamps. Decals inside the legs and a diagram in the instructions help you to orient the crossbar on your roof.
Once the crossbar is properly positioned, use the included Allen key to tighten it in place. The Allen key is designed to serve as a simple torque wrench. The curve in the blue plastic handle straightens when you've applied enough torque to each bolt.
The crossbar has a built-in C-channel so you can carry channel-mounted accessories such as bike racks, watersport carriers, and ski racks. The Vortex strips in the top channel come in 3 pieces, so they're easier to adjust than a single long, continuous strip. You can remove, trim, and re-insert the Vortex strips around the mounting hardware of your accessories to keep the crossbar channel capped and quiet. Replacement strips (sold separately) are also available if you remove your accessories or switch to clamp-on accessories.
You can also attach most clamp-on accessories to the bar, and the Vortex strips provide a shock-absorbing, no-slip cushion for any accessories that rest on it.
Locking covers on each support leg let you secure accessories mounted in the crossbar top channel. These sturdy nylon covers give the rack a finished look and also help secure the rack to your roof. The cover locks are keyed alike, so a single key opens all locks.

My review starts out as a one star review simply because I got 2 halves of different roof rack systems that could not be assembled on my vehicle. The 2nd half of my review would be 10 stars if they had 10 stars. We were going on vacation the week I received the wrong material. I emailed and had replacements within 2 days. I assembled it, loaded up my car top carrier and away we went. Quickest reaction for any customer service ever. I was very please in the end and would definitely buy from etrailer again.
After a few attempts, I finally got it installed. Installation video helps. Where you may run into a snag is getting the front bar and the back bar reversed, resulting in seat pads not aligning with the contours of the roof. Regardless, after a few more installs you will get the knack of it. Have had many compliments on racks when installed. System is solid on trips, no glitches or movement. I highly recommend it! 2018 Durango without factory roof racks.
Works very well - I've had it for a year and have only needed to use it for two trips, but no complaints, whatsoever.
One note: I drive a 2019 Dodge Durango and found that I needed to move the front crossbar forward about 6 inches from where it was instructed to be installed so that the feet sat flush against the roof (the width of the bar and contours of the roof caused an issue with the feet not sitting flush). I had read other reviews with the same issue, but again, the rack works great once that change is made!
Straightforward installation and high quality product. I had to shift the front bar a few inches more towards the hood than the instructions suggested. I think this is because the 2021 Durango refresh slightly changed the roof profile. I can detect no noise coming from these bars while driving at any speeds.
Great rack! The fit to my vehicle was as expected and the installation was not difficult. Works well for hauling cargo carriers as well as building materials for home improvement jobs.
After one year and many travel using my Rhino-Rack, I’m totally satisfied!
Easy to assemble and disassemble with a fixing system which doesn’t damage my vehicle!
I totally recommend!
Not easy to install / align - I think one tube was too long forcing me to move it farther forward
One year review here. The roof rack worked excellent. We attached it to our 14 Durango with a large cargo box attached, and drove 3000 miles. The rack didn't scratch our vehicle or leave any permanent marks for that matter. The shipping was quick and haven't had to use customer service, so I'd call that a win.
At first, received the wrong part, however, When I reached out to customer service, they were very quick to respond and sent out correct part immediately. Overall, due to their responsiveness I am happy with the overall experience.
Great product and decent customer support. There were issues with delays on shipment due to staffing shortage and slower shipments, but the product eventually arrived and was a quality product with good installation support.
Fit good and looks good. Awesome product. We put a go rhino basket on top and looks great.
The rack mounted as described and held a hundred pounds of stuff without any issues. Nice solid setup
Works great! Would recommend to anyone. Worked great in high winds going over the Mackinaw Bridge to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and back!
Great customer service!!!!
Great addition to the bed track of my 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz! I got these for my rhino rack rod holder since they made such noise on the oem roof rack. So happy I went with rhino rack. You can't beat the price and the quality is as good if not better than Thule or Yakima. Highly reccomend.
I wanted to share the items I used to be able to haul two Wilderness Systems Tsunami 145 kayaks on my 2006 Scion xB. This may help others who struggle with deciding what to use. I am pleased with my purchase and hope this helps. I originally thought I wanted the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero, but they discontinued making the fit kit for their roof rack systems and I ended up going with the Kuats. I am glad that they didn’t make the fit kit for approximately $[XX] and so they missed out on the rest of my business. Here are the items I used for anyone interested – pictures included. Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Naked Roof #DK138, Kuat Class 4 V2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding - 1 Kayak - Black #KU53VR and these are really cool, Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs or Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 4 #RRRLKVA, Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 54" Long - Qty 2 #RRVA137-B2. The 54” crossbars fit really well and the perfect length in my opinion and it doesn’t stick out like the longer ones would. Also purchased two sets of these Malone QuickLash T-Style Hood Loops for Bow and Stern Tie-Downs - Qty 2 #MPG308.
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.
2020 Ford Edge with Vista Roof. Product arrived ahead of predicted delivery date. Very easy to assemble and directions were very easy to follow. Product is very high quality. I found 150mm front and 140mm rear to be the correct dimensions (I read a feedback that said they were not correct). No problems with Vista Roof, legs sit on the metal roof part not the glass. Overall very pleased with my purchase.
