These Heavy Duty crossbars are built from aluminum and are designed to handle serious gear. With a 220-lb weight capacity, you can haul ladders, lumber, or contractor-grade accessories without worrying about flex or instability. The solid build gives dependable support for hauling kayaks, canoes, or anything else you need for your next trip.
The square bar profile gives a sturdy base for work or adventure gear. The top channels hold Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty accessories like ladder rollers, load stops, and eyebolts so everything stays in place while you drive. Rubber strips in the channels help cushion the load and prevent shifting, adding grip where it’s needed most.
The system includes (4) 2500 Series legs and a custom fit kit that installs on your vehicle’s naked roof. The lockable cover plates on the legs secure the rack in place, adding peace of mind when you’re parked or on the move. Each part is designed to stay tight and protect your roof from scratches or movement during use.
This setup is made for durability. The crossbars carry a limited lifetime warranty, while the legs and fit kit each have a 5-year limited warranty. It’s a long-term solution built to handle consistent use—whether that’s weekend hauling or full-season travel with outdoor gear.

Installation Pictures on my Ford F-350 truck.
Installation was a breeze, about 2 hours from time of delivery to completion. Fits like a glove. looks great. Can't wait to order a pair of J style kayak carrier and a couple of bike racks for it.
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.
The Rhino Rack 2500 Series and the Rhino-rack Vortex Aero Crossbars fit like a glove. GREAT quality at a decent price (you get what you pay for). I also purchased the Rhino-rack J-style Kayak Carrier which was also a great product!! I was helped by Karen F and she did a great job from start to finish, thanks Karen!!! I have purchased several items over the years from etrailer, they have very good prices as well as a very knowledgeable staff. This business and its staff are a class act!!!
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!!!
This has been the best mod I have done to the truck. It allows me to organize tools, recovery gear, bikes and camping gear easily and safely. I have gone thru several iterations of layouts and enjoy the flexibility. Almost every time I extend the tray at an event people flock around to ask questions and see how it works. My back enjoys it too!
I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
Have used our Rhino Rack crossbars several times to haul 2 kayaks while towing our 5th wheel trailer. Racks have been sturdy enough to slide our kayaks forward some to allow space in the back for our trailer to move into tight turns. Installation took a little time but they are good and sturdy.
Ordering was very easy, as was the installation, the directions are very easy to follow. This will make for an easy way to carry kayaks while pulling the fifth wheel. Very solid rack.
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
This rack (including these legs) is the best arrangement for taking our bikes camping with our fifth wheel camper we could have imagined. After trying bike racks on the back of our camper and inside our camper, this rack finally is a safe way to transport our bikes with us. It secures the bikes using the tires and no more damage to bikes. It took a few times to figure out a way to get the bikes on the roof easily. I built a small 15" by 72" temporary platform for the front of the bed to stand on that can be easily slid under the hitch when not in use. WE LOVE THIS RACK.
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.
Fast shipping, great instructions made it easy to assemble. Looks good and works well on my f250.
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…
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!
I have attached pics of the rack attached to a 2014 F-350. I went with the 65” crossbars and they worked great! This gives me enough room to lay two kayaks flat on the bars. I would rate the Rhino Rack roof kit , etrailer site information and etrailer customer service all 5’s! Always great to deal with your company. My only recommendation would be to make it easier for customers to submit product reviews and pics. Thanks for all your assistance.
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've been using my Rhino-Rack primarily for hauling up to two kayaks. It has performed very. On the particular trip we are on now we went thru some pretty high winds blowing from the side of our rig and the kayak stayed secured. I would highly recommend this for anything you want to carry on top of your vehicle.
Great! It came quickly and went together like a dream on top of which it looks fantastic on my truck. It's not the first time I bought from etrailer and it won't be the last. Thanks so much!

One year update. The rack is still great in my opinion. It does make a little noise but not as much as I thought it would and I havent taken it off yet. The only problem I had with it was that one of the plastic end caps fell off. Over all I give it a 9 out of ten.
