Roof Rack Recommendation that Fits 2011 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab
Updated 10/22/2025 | Published 04/08/2025
Question:
Ive been a customer in the past and I have the Jetstream Bars with two different sets of towers. I have a 2011 Chevy Silverado crew cab with the short bed and a naked roof. Thule has solutions for me but Id rather stay with Yakima. I need four towers, low profile with clips for my truck CAB not bed that does not require me to drill holes in my body. What can you offer? Id prefer lower profile to fit in my garage.

Hey James, it's super frustrating but Yakima did not bother to go back and fit their Jetstream bars to your 2011 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab for some reason so there isn't a way to adapt the crossbars you have now to work on your truck. The only option would be an all new roof rack for your vehicle like the Rhino Rack Vortex part # RR23VE which is a confirmed fit for your truck and does not require drilling into your roof at all.
