When you’re hauling gear like kayaks, ladders, or camping equipment, strength is everything. These Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty crossbars are built from aluminum to handle demanding loads with confidence. Each bar measures 50" long x 1-5/8" wide x 1-7/8" tall and supports up to 220 lbs, so you can transport your essentials without stressing about the setup bending or flexing under weight.
No one wants their gear shifting around mid-drive. The Heavy Duty bars include rubber strips inside the top channels that cushion your load and help prevent slipping. Whether it’s a ladder roller, load stop, or eyebolt attachment, the accessories mount firmly while the rubber inserts keep things steady even on rough roads.
The included 2500 Series legs feature lockable cover plates that secure the rack to your roof. Once locked, the bars stay put—ready for your next trip and protected when you leave the vehicle parked. It’s a simple way to add an extra layer of confidence when your gear is stored up top.
From contractor work to weekend getaways, this system adapts easily. The square bars feature top channels that accept Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty accessories like ladder rollers, load stops, and eyebolts. You can tailor the rack for whatever you’re carrying without needing a whole new setup.
Durability goes beyond materials. The aluminum crossbars come with a limited lifetime warranty, while both the legs and fit kit include a 5-year limited warranty. That’s solid coverage to match their rugged build, giving you dependable support for many miles ahead.
Ratings & Reviews
Rhino-Racks have solid and affordable products. I just got this fit kit to set up my “naked” roof car. Besides the great product e-trailer service was amazing. With fair price, and fast processing of my order this product made it to my home just after 48 hrs and intime before the family headed on a road trip. Thanks for the great service and awesome product.
Everything fits fine but the rubber bumpers keep coming off when the rack isn’t attached to the roof. Not a big deal for functionality but storage can be tricky if you’re not careful.
After reading some of the reviews I made sure to read the installation instructions vary carefully. As it turns out, they were very easy to install and worked very well. We had two sets of ski's, poles, and two snowboards, on the roof for a trip from Minneapolis to Vail and back. We had no problems as they met and exceeded our expectations. I would recommend these to any who do not have an existing rail system on their car.
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.
The Rhino rack packages are really logically set up. they arrived in two boxes- the racks in one, and the car specific material in the other. The setup and assembly is great- better than the other "Big" guys we are so familiar with. The only issue was the locks that came with the racks- took me quite a while and lots of silicone spray to get them working smoothly. The total package fits great and indicates they really think about the specific vehicle they set it up on.
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 review is for the whole roof rack as I purchased the components seperately. Measurements for Toyota Prius hatchback are 2" to 2 1/2" off for the location of the legs on the roof. In addition the 'measurement strip length' is wrong (this affects the width between the corresponding legs). This is the manufacturer's issue not etrailers.It took hours for one person to figure and re-configure the rack. If not for that I would give the item a 5 star review as it is sturdy and I have confidence in the performance of it while carrying my 58lb kayak.
Love this rack for my Prius (and standup paddle boards) and I LOVE etrailer Great service and follow-up. We've ordered from them several times and their service and advice about which racks/gear are best for your vehicle and needs is priceless! Stop looking and SHOP HERE!
Very simple setup. Very sturdy. Took a few hours to setup and I couldn't be happier. Unless the wind blows really hard I forget the rack is even there.
We love the racks! The only complaint is about the instructions. They were so confusing!!! I had to go onto youtube to see how to put everything together, which was a bit different than the written directions - but BETTER. It took much longer than I had expected. However, the end product is great.
I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
I purchased this rack to primarily transport a kayak and have used it as well to secure a rooftop cargo bag. The rack is a great investment. I was able to follow clear directions and the rack needs little maintenance. Since I can’t tow with my Prius, this is a very good solution to get my equipment to my many adventures.
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.
This is a great investment! My husband and I go kayaking a lot and we both have Priuses so not so conducive to kayaking. I bought this for my husband's 2012 Prius and the J hooks to go with it and it hold both of our 10 ft kayacks with no problems.
Got this for a 2015 Prius. High quality works great. Use their measurements included as a guide and measure everything out yourself before cutting the spacers and when installing. I had to make minor adjustments to make it perfect.
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.
These were exactly the right part for my car. They were easy to put on the crossbar kit. The crossbar kit also worked great. I can't imagine how a more expensive set would have worked better than the Rhino Rack we bought.
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.
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 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 product, great fit.
