To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
When you’re loading up for a big trip, you want crossbars that can take the weight. These Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty bars are built from aluminum and measure 65" long x 1-5/8" wide x 1-7/8" tall, giving you the strength and space to carry gear securely. With a 220-lb capacity (always stay within your roof’s limit), they’re ready for everything from contractor supplies to camping setups.
If you use your rack for more than just cargo boxes, these square bars make it simple to mount heavy-duty gear. The top channels fit Rhino-Rack accessories like ladder rollers, load stops, and eyebolts, letting you customize your setup for any haul. Rubber strips in the channels help cushion the load and add slip resistance so everything stays steady on the road.
A solid connection to your roof makes all the difference when you’re carrying valuable or bulky equipment. This system installs to tracks on your vehicle’s roof using RLTF legs and lockable cover plates that secure the rack in place. Once tightened down, the setup holds firm through highway miles and rough backroads alike.
The aluminum construction keeps weight down while standing up to rust and weather. The black finish resists wear, keeping it looking sharp even after seasons of use. For peace of mind, the crossbars include a limited lifetime warranty, and the legs and tracks each have a 5-year limited warranty—long-term durability built right in.

Good quality. Easy to assemble
Great design, heavy duty while not bulky
Utility trailer
The rivets are way too small and they popped out from the roof top leaving holes on the roof of my van. Totally dissatisfied and angry.
Wish they had a kayak rack to mount to areo bars
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.
I don't use it as often as I would like but after a year it is still attached and works as intended. The rubber strips to reduce noise came partially loose, but with some fiddling they seem to be hanging in there now. For my vehicle at least, I used a professional (local auto shop) to install as I was not going to take a drill to my car.
Mostly satisfied. Not issue of etrailers and nothing really wrong with the product but do find it funny and a bit dumb that RhinoRack gives you security screws to hold feet to track but the rails are attached with a standard bolt that can be easily seen and accessed by anyone.
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.
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.
Product itself is fantastic, I strongly recommend.
I have had these on for more than a year. Most common use case is carrying a 60lb, 16' long canoe.
I installed with rivets into the roof sheet metal. No issues at all with any rivets coming loose, and zero leakage. I use it with a Yakima crossbars with the quick release mounts. The feet are bolted to the tracks. The crossbars just click into the feet. They take literally less than a minute to attach or remove. I've had a few roof rack systems and this is by far the best.
I used the etrailer videos for the installation and they were more than enough. The riveting was nerve-wracking on the first one, but actually very simple. I suggest really taking your time to assure parallel. This can be tricky depending on your roofline. I marked a centerline down my roof and set the tracks based on that.
The only downside I have run into is not at all a fault in the tracks. Because they rivet into the roof sheet metal, it's susceptible to a bit of flex. I see this under the front of the tracks when I crank down on the bowline of the boat. That's a very large lever pulling down on the rack into the roof sheet metal. No lasting issues, I can just see the metal move.
Another small thing to note is that if your roof is curved where the front or real of the rail lands, the plastic end cap might have a small gap under it. It's not itself held down to the roof, it just slots into the track. I have a small gap on mine and it's not a functional issue at all.
Works well on the Ultragroove track system (2018 8' bed 3500HD DRW).
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.
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 !

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.
