Review of the Rhino Rack Road-Warrior Roof Bike Racks on a 2010 Toyota Highlander

Today on our 2010 Toyota Highlander we're going to take a look at the Rhino Rack Road Warrior Rooftop Bike Carrier, part number is RBC036. We have a bike on our rack, and we have a rack hooked to our vehicle. I'm just going to show you a few features. This is a fork mounted bike rack. We see we have our skewer already engaged. To disengage it, just pull it out. We're going to keep it engaged for right now. Now we come toward the back.

Our back tire is just sitting in our wheel cradle here. We have a strap that holds it down, protects the spokes and your tire itself. Let's go ahead and remove that. We set that off to the side. We're going to come up here and disengage our skewer, loosen it a little bit.

Now we're going to move our bike. All right. Set this off to the side for right now. It's always a good habit to replace your straps on your bike rack, so we'll go ahead and do that right now. While I'm back here, I'll go ahead and talk about it. This strap here can be adjusted to fit any size bike that you have.

If you have a bigger bike or a smaller bike, that's going to move so you can put the bike wheel in. Up here we have our two thumb screws with a plate, nice little cushion so it doesn't damage your car or your crossbar itself. It goes around pretty much all your crossbars. We're using our arrow bars today. Up here, this is actually into our T slot. We have to remove our strap, and it goes into our T slot. I'm going to pop the cover off up here.

Up here there are two allen bolts that you want to tighten up. This is actually the tool you'll get, half of this. Like I said, you'll tighten it up to where it's tightened down inside the T slot, and you'll be good to go. Let's go ahead an put our cap back on, put our end cap back on. That's going to be it for our look at the Rhino Rack Road Warrior Rooftop Bike Carrier. Part number again is RBC036, on today's 2010 Toyota Highlander. Let's see how it performs on our test course. Here it is on our test course. First is the slalom area, which simulates side to side action, like turning corners or evasive maneuvers. Next are the alternate speed bumps, which show you the twisting action, like hitting a pothole, road debris or hitting a curb. Finally, we are at the solid speed bumps, which show you up and down action to simulate a parking garage or coming out of your driveway.
