Question:
There are two styles being offered. The vehicle is a 1996 Pathfinder with the built in factory rails. Price wise it is hard to tell which will work best. The heavy dutyrack at $279 looks good if it truly fits the vehicle and has no wind issues after mounting. Your comments?

Expert Reply:
There are two different styles of Rhino Racks that are offered for your 1996 Nissan Pathfinder with raised siderails. Either the aero style bars or the HD style bars.
The pros to the aero style is that they will offer less wind noise and better fuel mileage, the pros to the HD is the higher capacity that they offer. About 25 lbs increased capacity.
For the aero style bars you would want part numbers # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX006.
For the HD style you would want the # RB1120B-2, and # CXB. This rack will fit your vehicle, but it will make more wind noise than the aero.
