To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
These heavy-duty crossbars are built from aluminum and designed to handle serious weight—up to 220 lbs. The solid build inspires confidence when you’re hauling gear like kayaks, canoes, or camping equipment. Even under a full load, the bars stay stable and secure for long drives or rougher roads.
This system includes two Heavy Duty crossbars, four 2500 Series legs, and a custom fit kit for your naked roof. The lockable cover plates on the legs keep the rack secured in place so you can leave your gear mounted without worry. Once installed, the setup feels like it belongs on the vehicle—not something that’s been clamped on as an afterthought.
The square bars have top channels that work with Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty accessories like ladder rollers, load stops, and eyebolts. That means you can use the same rack for hauling lumber during the week and kayaks on the weekend. Rubber strips in the channels cushion and grip whatever you’re carrying to help keep loads steady.
With crossbars measuring 59" long x 1-5/8" wide x 1-7/8" tall, there’s plenty of space to mount multiple accessories side by side. Whether you’re carrying a cargo box or pairing different carriers together, that extra width gives you room to spread things out for balance and easy access.
Each part of this setup is backed by Rhino-Rack’s strong warranty support—Crossbars: limited lifetime, Legs: 5-year limited, Fit kit: 5-year limited. The durable black aluminum construction resists corrosion and keeps looking good trip after trip.

Easy to install. Strong hold. Directions were spot on. Carried everything from surfboards to lumber on these thing with out compromise.
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.

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.
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?
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
Order them to mount my rhino roof rack. Hauling Kayaks works great.
There was a small delay in shipping but I was contacted quickly by phone with a follow up email. Everything arrived sooner than I expected. The Rhino roof racks mounted easily and look good. Excellent customer service.
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 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.
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!!!
I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
Extremely will built and it was easy to install. Also the experience with etrailer was fantastic. Thanks again etrailer.
Great product sturdy bars. Keep in mind anything you install on the bars needs to have longer bolts because of how big the bars are but that's a minor detail
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.
Ok… giving this item four stars as an overall view. The good: it fits a Jeep Wrangler perfectly. With the appropriate legs, it canvases across the entire roof of the Jeep with the legs attaching to the gutters. The bad: just a bit too noisy for my liking, even with the appropriate wind faring (I don’t expect absolute silence since I have a one touch sky top). The noise is not a big deal on short trips, but it was definitely driving my wife and kids nuts on a 2+ hour drive (stick some headphones on the kids, problem fixed)
In the future, I might switch it up from these square rails and go with something a bit more aerodynamic…
The fit of the Rhino roof racks is perfect! Installation was straightforward and not difficult. The kayak J racks were added and not part of the Rhino roof racks.
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 was a great purchase. I originally ordered roof crossbars from somewhere else and immediately returned them. They were a universal fit and were not secure at all when they were tightened down. They were from a third seller on Amazon. I found these on etrailer and I am glad that I made the purchase. I did not want to spend the money at first that these cost, but am glad that I did. The install was easy and the crossbars are very secure and hold up well with the cargo basket installed. They were well worth the money. Can't wait to try them out when we go camping. Thank you etrailer.
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.
