Features to know about

Carry More for Every Adventure: Full-Length 54" Aluminum Crossbars

These Sportz aluminum crossbars give you the freedom to haul gear and cargo wherever the trip takes you. Each bar spans a full 54", giving plenty of usable space for all kinds of accessories. Whether you’re packing up for a weekend away or hauling outdoor gear, the strong aluminum build with a 165-lb weight capacity keeps everything steady and secure on the roof.

Cut Down on Wind Noise: Aerodynamic Shape with Rubberized Dual Strips

Driving with crossbars doesn’t have to mean dealing with loud whistling or drag. The aero-style shape of these bars helps smooth airflow over the roof, while the rubberized dual strips in the top channels guide air cleanly and reduce wind noise. They also help seal out debris, keeping the rack quieter and more efficient on long drives.

Fit Your Favorite Gear Fast: Works with Channel-Mount and Clamp-On Accessories

These bars are ready for whatever setup you run—kayak carriers, cargo boxes, or bike racks. The top channels accept channel-mount accessories, while their shape also supports clamp-on carriers. That means you can use a wide variety of attachments without needing extra adapters, making it easy to change setups depending on the season or trip.

Lock In Confidence: Secure Legs with Lockable Covers

The included 2500 Series legs attach directly to your vehicle’s fixed mounting points for a solid, custom fit. Each leg features a lockable cover plate that helps keep the rack secure once installed. With everything locked down tight, you can load up your gear and focus on the drive ahead instead of worrying about your setup.

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
    I will be happy to walk you through what you will need to add a roof rack and kayak carrier to 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport in the budget you mentioned. You said there are places to install a rack system, but I am unsure if that meant your '18 Outlander Sport had a naked roof (meaning no rails of any kind on the roof already) or a roof with factory flush-mounted rails that run front to back so I'll give you options for both. Rhino Rack is a high-quality roof rack manufacturer and they...

  • Recommended Rhino-Rack Roof Rack For A 2016 Ram 3500 And How Does Roof Rack Capacity Work
    Hey Bob, Roof rack systems are typically only rated up to 165lbs because that's typically above the capacity of the vehicle's roof. More recently all manufacturers are switching to removing the capacity from the listing and telling consumers to check the weight capacity of the roof because people have been overloading their roofs and causing damage. The # RR38ZE is missing a crossbar but includes the correct amount of feet and and fit kit components so you'll need to order the following...

  • Does Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box Fit Rhino Rack Roof Rack
    The Rhino Rack Vortex Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 you referenced measure 3-1/8" wide x 1-3/16" tall. The Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629806 will fit crossbars that are up to 3-1/2" wide and 1-11/16" tall so they will work on these bars! If you let me know the year, make and model of your vehicle I can confirm for you which Rhino Rack roof rack will fit and the parts you will need.

  • Parts Needed to Add Rhino-Rack Roof Rack to 2026 Ford F-250
    Hey Jeffrey! Do you have the 2026 Ford F-250 Crew Cab? Are these Vortex bars? The crew cab is the only version that allows a Rhino-Rack to fit. You can use the Custom DK Fit Kit # DK498 along with the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA which is designed for Sportz or Vortex crossbars. I'm not sure what length your current crossbars are but the Rhino-Rack Sportz Roof Rack # RR64KG and the old Vortex rack for the F-250 both use 59" bars. If you have the Regular Cab or SuperCab you will...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Equinox w/ a Naked Roof
    Rhino Rack makes a roof rack for your 2015 Chevy Equinox that is confirmed as a fit. The crossbars are also very close to the dimensions of the square bar Thule roof racks. For that you would want the item # RRVA118B-2, item # RRRLKVA, and item # DK226 which is a confirmed fit. I attached an install video for this rack on a similar 2013 Equinox as well.

  • How Can I Tell if I have Fixed Mounting Points on My 2015 Mazda CX-5 for a Crossbar System?
    According to the specs I have, you may have fixed mounting points on those rubber strips on your 2015 Mazda CX-5. The way you can tell is if there is a small removable tab on those rails that cover the holes. I went ahead and attached a video of a 2015 Mazda CX-5 with fixed mounting points to give you perspective about what to look for. If you determine that you have fixed mounting points, I recommend the following setup: - Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 46" #...

  • 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude Roof Rack Recommendation
    I have a great roof rack solution that fits your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee that has black flush rails on the roof but Rola does not offer anything that fits your roof configuration. Instead you'd want the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK234 which is a confirmed fit and gives you a set of aero shaped crossbars that will minimize wind noise and are very easy to install.

  • Recommended Replacement Leg Screws for the Rhino Rack 2500 Series Legs
    Sorry to hear about that Wendie, but we do have both screws # RRB154 & # RR89UB available for replacement for the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA. There is no secret to getting the screw out, but since it's stripped it's going to be a lot harder. If you have enough of the head removed, you can try using a set of locking pliers around the head and back it out that way. I've actually had to do this a couple times, it's not fun, but it works.

  • What are the Differences Between Roof Bag on Naked Roof and Roof Rack Mounted Bag?
    Apart from how the rooftop bags mount there is little difference between the cargo bags that go on the naked roof of your 2013 Kia Soul or one that attaches to a roof rack. To avoid having to put a pricey roof rack on your Soul, I strongly recommend going with a bag that mounts to your naked roof such as the Rightline Gear Sport 2 Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S20. This bag is waterproof, has 15 cubic feet of storage and is 44" long x 36" wide x 19" tall. You can mount the Rightline by running...

  • Which Roof Rack Will Allow Me To Mount 2 Yakima JayLow Kayak Carriers On My 2016 Honda Fit?
    You can mount 2 sets of the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style or Post Style - Folding - 1 or 2 Kayaks # Y04073 on a 46" roof rack, but it will be somewhat of a tight fit. The overall distance from one end of the JayLow to the other end is about 19", so you may have a little bit of the JayLow hanging over the crossbar legs which is fine. Most crossbars, aside from flush crossbars, have a spot (where the towers/legs are at) that you cannot clamp an accessory, but you will...

    We do have a roof rack that will work for your 2015 Honda CR-V.

This features anodized aluminum aerodynamic crossbars with a rubberized Vortex strip in the crossbar top channel to disrupt airflow for a quiet ride. Along with the crossbars the system uses the Series 2500 Legs that include locks to secure...

  • Replacement Crossbar, Towers, and Feet for a 2022 Honda CR-V Using Rhino Rack 2500 Series
    Jeff, first of all, I'm relieved to hear you weren't injured in this accident. As far as replacements go, we do have a replacement crossbar with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar # RRVA137B but the towers and fit kit are only sold as a complete set with # RRRLKVA & # DK284. Hopefully no more turkey accidents in the future, but if it happens again we have you covered! Feel free to drop a comment and let me know if there is anything else I can do to help!

  • How to Use Rhino-Rack T-Load System to Transport Kayak on 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500
    The Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar # RTL002 that you referenced is designed to be used with an existing roof rack crossbar system or bare roof carrier, which aren't included with the kit. If you want to go with a more permanent setup to use with the T-Load the best route is with a crossbar system. If your Silverado has the Crew Cab I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System that consists of # RRVA150S-2 for the two 59" Vortex Crossbars in Silver or...

  • Can Rhino Rack Roof Rack Y02-480B Fit 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500
    Hey Miles, I checked with Rhino Rack and the part # Y02-480B that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500. Like you probably already know though this is a permanent install type of rack that would require drilling the roof. If you were looking for a way to adapt the roof rack to fit without drilling you would instead also need the part # DK427 and the # RRRLKVA which allows the feet of the rack to attach to the door frame. This does not require any drilling.

    For your 2013 Toyota Corolla, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2, the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and the Custom DK Fit Kit # DK152. This is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. I also recommend the metal lock cores # RRVA-LEC4 for when you use the T-channel mounting for accessories that have that mount that fits in the slot on top of your crossbars instead of wrapping around them. Then for your rooftop cargo carrier, I recommend the Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo...

  • Best Roof Rack For Thule Hullavator On 2024 Acura RDX
    Hello Geoffrey, thanks for reaching out. You are on the right track here. On your 2024 Acura RDX a 60" bar would be cutting it close. We can do a roof rack with a longer bar; we would just have to part it out separately instead of doing a full kit which is not a problem at all. Does your RDX have the factory roof rails running from front to back? Or is it a naked roof? Let me know and I am happy to send you parts list with everything you need. For an example, if you have a naked roof,...
