These heavy-duty aluminum crossbars are built to handle serious hauling. With a 220-lb weight capacity, you can load up kayaks, canoes, or cargo boxes for long road trips without worry. The bars measure 50" long x 1-5/8" wide x 1-7/8" tall, giving you plenty of space and strength for big gear. The aluminum construction keeps things lightweight but tough enough for repeated use.
The square crossbars have top channels designed to mount Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty accessories like ladder rollers, load stops, eyebolts, and more. This setup keeps your gear steady on rough roads or when loading bulky equipment. Rubber strips in the channels cushion the load and add slip resistance so your cargo stays right where you put it.
Each of the four 2500 Series legs secures the rack firmly to your vehicle’s naked roof. Lockable cover plates on the legs protect against tampering while keeping everything tight and stable. The fit kit is built for a custom installation that grips securely without damaging paint or trim, making it a dependable setup for everyday hauling.
This system includes two bars, four legs, and a fit kit—everything you need for a complete roof rack setup. The black finish looks sharp while standing up to the elements, and the combination of limited lifetime and 5-year limited warranties shows it’s made to last through years of trips, jobs, and adventures.

Once installed they seem sturdy and look good. One of the end caps was damaged in shipping but otherwise everything was good
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.

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?
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
The kit came as 3 separate boxes at different times instead of putting them all into 1 box which would have been awesome.
Installation was tough bc it kind of requires 2 people so you're not having to run back and forth while adjusting things. The design kind of sucks too bc you put the crossbars and everything together before mounting on your vehicle and than if it doesn't line up right on your roof you have to take it off and loosen that bolt that's underneath holding the crossbar on.
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!!!
We purchased these with the crossbars and have been completely happy with them. We put a car top carrier on top and have had zero problems. The assembly was explained well and quick to do. Would recommend these to anyone who needs to post-factory bars on top of the car. We put them on a Kia Sportage and it looks great. We take it through the car wash often and haven't had any problems.
I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
This rack is very well made and easy to install. I was a little hesitant at first because of the price but you really get what you pay for. I load two 12' kayaks that take this rack close to it's weight limit and it's still rock solid.
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.
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.
Picked up the fit kit and vortex 2500 aero bars from etrailer. Added them to a Rhino Rack leg kit I got and everything went on perfectly. Can’t believe how solid the whole system feels. I have a box to put on the rack that will carry all my golf gear and hiking equipment for a three week tour of Utah and Colorado. Looking forward to traveling and actually having room inside the car to find things.
Thanks etrailer for the Awesome service (Noah was great) and the super fast shipping. I’ll be back when I need accessories.
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.
I received my all the parts for my roof rack installation to a bare roof. I quickly read through the instructions, identified all the parts, and started putting it together. It wasn't long and the installation was complete. The instructions were easy to understand and the product seems very durable.
