Is Weight Capacity of Rhino-Rack Crossbars for Retrax XR Tonneau Cover Per Bar or Total
Updated 07/16/2020 | Published 12/31/2019
Question:
I see the max load capacity states 220 lbs...is that per crossbar or total for 2 crossbars. In other words does each individual crossbar have a capacity of 220 lbs or 110 lbs per crossbar. Would it be possible to evenly distribute the load of 440 lbs across 2 crossbars? Thanks!

Good question, and the answer is that the weight capacity is the total capacity. So the capacity of the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 is 220 lbs maximum across both bars (think of it as 110 lbs per bar).
These are 71 inch bars and there are also 65 inch bars with the same capacity, which are part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600.
I have added a link to a video review and the instructions for you to check out as well.
