Recommended Roof Rack for a 2023 GMC Acadia w/ Raised Side Rails

Published 12/08/2022

Question:

I have a 2023 GMC Acadia and I am looking for a roof rack to mount my cargo box. My Acadia has the rails that go down the side of the roof. Is there a set of crossbars that mount directly to this?

Yes, there is a set of crossbars that will mount directly to the factory side rails of your 2023 GMC Acadia. You will want the roof rack by Rhino Rack and it includes the following parts:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA126B-2

Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Raised Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 item # RRSX100

This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity so it will work great for a cargo box. The included locks will prevent theft. The rubberized vortex strips in the top channels dramatically reduce drag and wind noise.

I have linked a couple of pictures, along with a video, that will show you what this system will look like when installed on your Acadia.
