When you’re hauling kayaks, canoes, or gear for a full weekend away, you need a rack that doesn’t flinch under weight. The Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty Roof Rack gives you solid aluminum construction rated for 220 lbs of load capacity. The square crossbars are built to stay sturdy and stable, even when you’re carrying contractor gear or bulky outdoor equipment.
Whether it’s ladder rollers, load stops, or eyebolts, the top channels on these 65" crossbars are made to handle Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty accessories with ease. Each accessory slides into place in the 1-3/8" wide x 5/8" tall channels, giving you a secure and versatile setup. Rubber strips line the channels to cushion your load and add slip resistance while keeping your gear locked down tight.
The rack mounts directly to your vehicle’s rain gutters using four gutter-mount legs that fit snugly without unnecessary flex. Lockable cover plates on the legs secure the rack in place so your setup stays put wherever you park. The custom installation means you get a dependable connection between rack and roof for every drive.
The black aluminum bars resist corrosion and wear from years of use in sun, rain, or snow. Rhino-Rack backs the crossbars with a limited lifetime warranty and the legs with a 5-year limited warranty, so your roof rack stays ready for every haul and every season ahead.
Ratings & Reviews
Nice rack system, strong and durable. Used on a Ford e350 to mount solar panels. Only draw back, one of the L brackets that goes under the rain gutter was not bent square enough and this caused the bracket to slide off when tightened. I had to adjust this with a clamp and hammer, no issues since.
The folks at etrailer made it easy for me to get the right rack and crossbars for my Jeep. I have a skytop so the rack had to be tall enough to clear the top as it opens and closes (accordion style). The customer service person who helped me recommended the rack legs with the right amount of clearance and the right size cross bars. The website had photos of other Wrangler Unlimited owners with the rack installed on the same type of top. The video of installation was clear and thorough. No problems with the rack at all; still tight and flush on the gutter, no wind noise with the rubber inserts, doesn't look all weathered and beaten after a New England winter either. The boat on the rack only weighs about 45 pounds but the rack can easily handle double that or more.
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.
They did the job, note that I had to make a spacer for each leg to still be able to take it the front panels off. Love the look also.
The heavy duty rhino-racks are very well built. There is wind noise. That can be muffled some by using uni-stut closure strips. Uni-strut fasteners fit on both the top and bottom of these bars making it nice for building your own custom tie down and attachment points
Good quality. Easy to assemble
Good quality.. exactly what I ordered
The factory tightened the special Allen screws so tight they stripped them so that the Allen wrench wouldn’t work to remove them. Took forever to remove the tightened screws with pliers. Had to go buy new regular screws to replace them.
Great design, heavy duty while not bulky
Utility trailer
I have used yakima for years and have no complaints. Rhino is far superior for strength, fit and install.
If you are creative you can use uni-strut nuts for your own mounting solutions that may not be offered by rhino.
A flat surface is much easier to work with and is more secure than a round surface. I cant see myself buying a round tube product again.
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.
Works well on the Ultragroove track system (2018 8' bed 3500HD DRW).
Great product
I installed them on my 2020 GMC Sierra crew cab on the bed rails to use as a Conor rack, kayak rack bed tent .
Works great !
Kit was great, except my SnugTop cover required longer T-Bolts for mounting the tracks. The 1.5 inch ones provided were too short. It was a little tough sourcing T/Bolts that would work. It would have been nice if longer T-Bolts could have been an option from Rhino Rack.
Amazing product. Fit, finish, quality is absolutely amazing!
Have hauled our bikes all over MI, through the UP, and back. They never moved. Rack is super simple to remove from the rails to grant full access to the PU bed.
I think this is one of the Best options out there for taking your bikes with you while still having your covered bed space. I also can install a Ski box for the winter. Ski's in the box while gear in the covered bed.
Order is lost. Only received half of it. Tape your boxes together like you did on previous orders.
Our bars did not arrive. It only takes three days to ship to Anchorage Alaska from anywhere CONUS.
Team was helpful in ordering the correct part. Delivery well managed. Installation straightforward.
