Bought these to go on our RAV4 Prime, paired with the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars. They look great, were easy to install, and have stood the test of time a year later (making it through a New England winter just fine).
I purchased the Rhino Rack roof rack as an alternative to the factory installed products and the more popular Thule and Yakima brands. The Rhino Rack is solid and sleek and is largely silent while driving (if I have the roof open you can hear a soft whistle). Not only does the rack look fantastic, but the non-slip top and the strong bars make carrying things on top a real pleasure.
These feel sturdy with the Rhino Rach Vortex bars and they look clean. I am happy with the final product. I like that the locks came with them without a significant upcharge. I would give them five stars but I don't like that there is only one bolt to attach each one to the car. There should at least be two per mount (this is only an anecdotal thought). I also thought the upside-down blind hole to tighten the bars to these mounts was a slow and frustrating experience. The Rhino-Rack system is great, it competes with all of the other brands but at a lower price point. However, if they were to improve on anything, it would these platforms. The custom fixed mounting points fit my car perfectly like it was OEM designed and the vortex crossbars are the best in the game.
Installation was a little tricky. Used my phone with the camera pointing up to align the Allen wrench up with the screw to tighten the crossbar down.
First....the customer service was great. Followed and answering questions were timely and helpful.
Install was easy as I’ve had experience with these and similar. Instructions were clear and the bars are very very sturdy. Very solid. I’m anxious to start loading my equipment on it to really utilize them. Hopefully they will hold up to their name as I’ve trusted rhino rack and etrailer for my source multiple times now.
Be sure to purchase the correct legs! Thank goodness for Justin at etrailer, and his patience in assisting me with getting the proper legs to accommodate the rack to fit my RAV4. He made my day!
Great customer service with James on the front end. Arrived sooner than expected! Fairly easy setup. It took me a little over an hour.
We will be using it to haul paddle boards as well as a tandem road bike. One of our next purchases will be the batwing awning and possibly the Tag-a-long tent if we don’t get a roof top tent
I searched a lot of websites before finding what I needed on etrailer.com for my 2012 Suzuki GV. I was looking for the proper mounts to install a Kayak rack system. Because my vehicle has a built in rail system it was very confusing what was needed. Thank you etrailer for hooking me up with the appropriate parts for the Rhino system, it worked great!
The system is working great,looks good and great functionality. I actually can move it between two different vehicles very happy with it and etrailer service
Not exactly the roof rack system I was looking for but they fit very well and seems very sturdy. I had ordered the low profile rhino racks a few months back and was sent the bars for the wrong vehicle. The customer service was great and refunded me for the product. However, every time I went back to check to see if the item (low price rhino rack) was in stock over the past 6+ months, I found nothing had changed. Finally had to bite the bullet on this rack system although it’s not what I was looking for. It’s a nice alternative. Still upset that the other rack has been advertised for so long but was never able to purchase.
So fast. So easy. Along with etrailer's installation video this was super easy. The video takes you through every step - specific to your vehicle.
I ordered the Rhino cross bars and cargo basket together for my 2021 RAv4 Hybrid simply because I wanted a sure combo that would work together. I am a semi-mechanical person and the whole job took me about 2 hr (bars + cage). It was not difficult, but the bars require precise alignments and a second pair of hands. Also maybe a foot stool and a mirror to see underneath bars for screw heads. My only suggestion for cross bar install is to dry fit everything first- tightening always seems to throw off alignments. Patience is key! The screws to hold platforms to mounting feet will not go in easy unless alignment is perfect.
Very straight forward to install. Took about a half hour in total. No whistling whatsoever. They look awesome on my 2016 Ford Explorer Sport! Especially with my running boards and tires...
Waiting on my Rhino basket to get here to install that next!
Works great for hauling our Rhino Rack top box back and forth to Colorado
Overall rack fits great. I'd like to see the longer crossbars show as approved. It's not really clear why I couldn't put 52 inch bars on a 2017 highlander but it shows they won't fit.
I would have given a 5 but the instructions/video skipped some worthwhile info. Overall I’m pleased.
This is the best website and the best customer service I have received by any company on the web. Every interaction was informative and timely. People, prices and products are excellent. I am in the roofing sales business and from time to time I need to put my big ladder on my vehicle and the crossbars with ladder roller and load stops work great. Two product improvements could be made: 1) crossbars whistle when above 30 mph, so they could have a better design to reduce or eliminate that or 2) the crossbars should have a quick release under the key cover instead of the hex screws.
We bought the Rhino Rack after realizing that neither of the other brands would fit right onto our Highlander. I ended up having to purchase both of the other major brands to figure that out. In the end, I found out that the Rhino rack fit exactly to the stock configuration of our car. It also held much more weight than the comparable brands. We could not be happier with this rack. I would recommend just skipping the other brands and getting the Rhino Rack regardless of your vehicle model. I found it to be a very well-designed rack system. All of the accessories fit perfectly. It even looks great on our car.
Rhino Rack was the only company that makes a direct bolt roof rack for a flat roof Toyota Highlander. We love it for hauling tje Kayaks.
There ok. The center screw that the bar connect to is to long and screws into you roof mounts on a Ford Explorer. So if you take them off, your roof rails would have to be repaired. Maybe more overkill than I needed. Factory bars are way cheaper and wont ruin your rails and would have done the job.
Placed it on a 2021 Toyota Rav4 and it fit perfectly. Follow the directions and it will be very easy to install. All hardware and tool was provided. I added Items #RR42SV and #RRVA126B-2
worked like a charm! James was a lot of help finding the correct fit for my car.
Great product, Very functional and well designed. I have yakima and Thule and these are definately more sturdy. They look better too. Time will tell how they perform. Oh and thanks etrailer for your great website which put all the required parts together for me.
Looks great! Was hoping for a quieter ride but am getting a lot of wind noise. I will be adding a wind Fairing to see if this helps.
