Can 59 Inch Rhino-Rack Vortex Bars be Used for Retrax Cover on 2018 Toyota Tacoma

Published 01/19/2022

Question:

Im interested in the RhinoRack Vortex bars system for my Tacoma pickup with a Retrax XR tonneau cover. The T slots on the Retrax XR tonneau cover are almost exactly 59 inch apart. Does this mean that the 59 inch Vortex bars would be too short?

The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Factory Tracks Kit # Y02-490B-NT will use the 59" Vortex crossbars and RLT600 leg kit which is the same as the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 with the 65" crossbars. As long as the T-Slot on the XR rails for your 2018 Toyota Tacoma are under that 59" measurement you should be just fine.

If the distance between the middle of the T-Slots on your Retrax XR cover for your 2018 Toyota Tacoma is 59" or less then the 59" Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Factory Tracks # Y02-490B-NT will work. If it's slightly over 59" or more then I recommend going with the 65" System # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 just to be on the safe side.
