Features to know about

Handle Heavy Loads Without Worry: Sturdy Aluminum Construction

These Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty crossbars are built for serious hauling. The aluminum construction offers the strength you need to carry up to 220 lbs while keeping weight down. Whether you load them with kayaks, tents, or contractor-grade gear, the bars stay solid and dependable mile after mile.

Keep Gear Steady on Every Drive: Square Bars with Rubber Channel Strips

Each of the 59" long square bars includes top channels lined with rubber strips that cushion your load and help prevent slipping. The design keeps ladders, rollers, or load stops secure and quiet even when the road gets rough. It’s a setup meant for real-world use where stability matters most.

Lock In and Go: Quick Mount Legs and Secure Backbone System

The system includes 6 Quick Mount legs, 6 bases, 6 spacers, and Rhino-Rack’s custom Backbone Mounting System for a strong connection to your roof. Lockable cover plates on the legs add extra security so your rack stays put when parked. Once mounted, the three-bar setup feels rock solid whether you’re loaded up for a weekend trip or daily work duty.

Ready for Real Work Accessories: Channel-Mount Compatibility

The top channels are made to fit Rhino-Rack’s Heavy Duty accessories—like ladder rollers, load stops, and eyebolts—so you can customize your setup without hassle. The channel dimensions (1-3/8" wide x 5/8" tall x 13/16" opening) make it easy to slide in gear attachments that hold up under pressure.

Built to Last Through Years of Use: Multi-Part Warranty Coverage

Every piece of the system is backed by Rhino-Rack’s limited warranties—crossbars have a limited lifetime warranty while the Backbone, legs, bases, and spacers each carry a 5-year limited warranty. It’s a full setup designed for long-term durability and confidence on every haul.

I love the Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars. At first they were a pain to crossbar on, but they I used my thumbs correctly on the lock, and haven't had an issue since the first alignment. They really served their purpose and lifted the old Sears Sport 20-SV cargo top carrier off of the roof for easier mounting and for now hold the kayaks. I do need longer crossbars, but that's a future problem that etrailer.com will be glad to provide a solution to.

Ford Transit Connect

I bought these racks for my Ford Transit and I couldn't be happier with the racks or the service from trailer. The rhino racks added a nice touch to an awkward looking van with its great looks and perfect functionality. Reading reviews about other racks making howling noises while driving made me a little hesitant , but am pleased to say, no noise whatsoever. I've added a basket to the racks and everything has worked perfectly. We do a lot of traveling,(2 adults,4 kids, 3 dogs) and the racks have provided exactly what we needed. Thanks etrailer for the best price and great service

The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero kit for the 2019 Mercedes Benz Metris Worker van (no roof rails) is a perfect fit. The 3 racks are in perfect alignment with the spacer blocks and can be removed in about 3 minutes to take the van into the car wash.

Make sure you download the specific installation instructions from the manufacturer for the proper installation of the support legs.

Purchased the Rhino Quick Mount Legs and Vortex-Aero bars, to mount on our Retrax XR Pro Tonneau cover. As always buying from trailer is easy, Terri N make the experience much better, from order to delivery. Terri ensured compatibility with existing hardware, and that everything needed is included.
The Rhino system is an easy install, the fit of the T-slot plate style nuts was tight, eliminating the damage that can occur with loose fitting slot inserts. Assembly can be completed on or off vehicle, as long as all accessories are fitted first. If done off vehicle, accurate measurements will be needed for the base fitment.
We paired the Rhino system with 1up USA bike racks, and a Yakima box.

Overall I like the rack. Aero bars are quiet, rubber grip strip on top is nice. Product is high quality. My only gripe is the mounting feet and it’s fit on the Mercedes Metris. Each foot is only able to utilize one bolt hole on the factory placed mounts. Using 2 per foot would be much better like in most other applications I imagine. But once it’s all assembled and installed it seems fine. Height spacer blocks are perfect, bars are all on the same plane. Looks good too! Etrailer also has real people working customer support who answer the phone and help you out. I highly recommend the rack and buying from etrailer!

Toyota Tundra

I purchased a used gray topper for my Tundra, repainted it to match my truck, and purchased from you the mounts and rails to put on top of it. The entire project was GREAT, and the and rails have just topped it off (see what I did there?) with a great look and very functional utility to add some long storage capability to a very short-bed truck. Thank you so much, it was expensive, but the quality is fantastic and the look is very sharp!

Wow! It's a real well made and engineered product and was delivered fast. I got it so I could remove it due to garage door clearance... It is heavy duty enough to carry our boat and 2 kayaks. The key lock, pivot system and removal system were well thought out and so easy.

2002 Ford Excursion

great product. sturdy easy to install and held my thule cargo box (also an etrailer purchase), really well! Fit perfest in my 2002 Excursion roof rack factory rails and easily adjusted. One note for excursion owners is to mount the front leg of the rack more directly over the rear door vs moving it up towards the front. I was tempted to move it as far forward as I could so I could stand in the rear door opening to access the inside/contents of the box and the weight of the box and contents actually bowed the roof steel in and out while driving, causing a popping noise, once i moved it back a little it was fine. Also making note that I have one of the biggest boxes you can buy so weight was at a max for the roof/roof rack for me YMMV depending on what you have on top of the crossbars. overall good solid product and the cost savings for the Rhino rack vs other brands is a BIG plus for me.

2018 BMW M6

I like the Rhino Rack RTV track because is allows Vortex Aero cross bars to be easily moved and removed. However the appropriately sized rectangular track nuts (M6 24x21x5 part No. N057) used to mount items to the rack are no longer available or manufactured. Consequently RTV track cannot be easily used to secure additional items. Rhino Rack is unable to offer a solution other than returning the wrong sized track nuts so I will manufacture my own attachment nuts. After drilling 18 holes in the roof of my new car and installing the RTV track and cross bars, the lack of compatible nuts was a big disappointment. The product should not be sold if components are not available.

by: Quinten 02/08/2023 One Year Later

I'd give these a 3.5. I think they work just fine but in comparing to my Yakima towers these are not as easy and convenient. The pinch style legs can be hard to use if the bars are not lined up right or hard to manage in cold wet conditions. I didn't like that the locking mechanism and face plate come out completely. Just too many pieces and possibility of something getting lost. Overall, I think they are strong and although not as convenient as Yakima they are far better than some other alternatives.

Really has come in handy as I installed this over my truck bed on top of a retractable bed cover that came with T -tracks. I can load the truck bed with smaller items and use the roof racks to hold a Thule box or just strap on heavy and larger items. Great product.

by: Brian 03/03/2018

The entire rack system (tracks, feet, aero crossbars, ladder straps, and load stops) installed and worked great for the intended use. Also, the service from etrailer was excellent.

The only drawback to this system is the necessity of purchasing a pneumatic rivet gun ($40) for mounting the tracks, but hey, it's a custom rack and i ended up with a cool tool.

Thanks.

Rhino Rack products are great, E trailer gave me a good price, fast shipping and all. Added a 3rd cross bar to my truck topper rack because I'm carrying a RTT on top and this spreads the weight more evenly.

Very nice. Purchased these crossbars and associated parts to attach to an ARE cap on a 2015 Tacoma.

2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer

These assembled easily and are much stronger than the factory system on my 2004 Chevy Trailblazer. I had a little bit of a problem trying to seat the pins in the saddles but other than that these are very secure.

The instructions tell you to slide the large hex nuts into your roof rail tracks and then assemble the rack leg base to the nuts. This is fairly difficult to do as the bolts were not long enough to reach the nuts resting in the tracks and you can't get your fingers in there to lift them. It was much easier to assemble the complete track leg bases with the Hex nuts installed loose then slide them onto the tracks and into position.

If your tracks are elevated off your roof at all you will find that these bases make any bars you add much higher than your OEM roof rack, the bars are probably 3 inches higher than my OEM bars although this is not an issue for me it may be something you may want to consider.

I had a hard time finding mounts for the original side rails for my trailblazer and had to pay more for the Rhino Racks but the quality is there.

The Vortex Crossbars slide right on to these with no issues.

One tip; have a step ladder on each side of the vehicle because you will be going back and forth to each side as you install these.

I used the crossbar on the front of my UTV rollbar to hold a LED light and two sun visors. It worked perfectly. I used rollbar clamps made to fit the rollbar to hold the crossbar in place.

Will A Gutter Mounted Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Clear A 2023 Jeep Wrangler Sky Top
Hi Nathan, The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Legs # RRRL110S5-2 are a fit for the gutters on your 2023 Jeep Wrangler, but they are only 4-5/16" tall so you'd likely run into clearance issues with the sky top. To confirm you can measure up 4-5/16" from the lip of the gutter and see if the sky top sticks up enough to catch where the crossbar would sit. If you haven't had crossbars on any of your vehicles with the roof open then I do want to note that the wind hitting the crossbars is annoying loud...
