These Rhino-Rack products are solid. Installation was quite simple. It took me no more than 2 hours from taking off the OEM rails to getting the crossbars to tighten down.
Keep in mind that these legs were designed for the Toyota Prado (it even says so on the installation guide). Once you remove the Lexus OEM rails, you will notice a groove, about 3/4" deep and 1-1/8" wide, alongside the roof. If your GX does not come with the OEM rails, the grooves might already be covered up by the factory drip trim pieces (Toyota PN 75557-60050, 75555-60030). This Rhino rack kit does not come with any hardware to cover up the grooves. I was told they would not cause any leaks because the mounting points are tightly sealed.
But if you have severe OCD like me, those grooves will be bothering you (even though you can't see them). Instead of paying over $xxx for the OEM trims pieces. Fill them up with some 3/4"wide 3/8 inch thick insulation tape, then tape a strip of 1" wide, 1/8" thick neoprene rubber strip on top. The end product looks just like OEM. I hope my simple idea will help other fellow OCD survivors.
Great item, pretty easy to install. I posted a longer review for the full setup on our 2019 Highlander with 2 biggish kayaks under reviews for the rack pillars, Item: RRRCL4. When fully tied down, we used hood loops front and rear for both boats.
Great service from Carol C.
Update to my review: etrailer sent additional strips to set into the gaps on the bottom side of the rails and there is no longer any whistling, so I've rerated my purchase to Excellent. I'm not sure if the strips for the bottom side (the side that faces the roof of the car) should have come with my rails to begin with or if they need to be purchased separately (etrailer sent them to me at no charge after my initial review). Covering those gaps with duct tape will also do the trick.
These were the only mounts I could find to fit a 2019 Toyota Highlander LE factory roof bolts. Have never used Rhino Racks before but was very happy to find their sturdy mounts for aero bar legs.
This fit perfectly on my 2019 Toyota Highlander! The instructions were very clear, and installation went quickly. And it looks great on the vehicle! The only reason this did not get a 5-star rating is because the design of the mounting points don't allow for a quick install or removal of the corresponding mounting platforms (which I rated also with 4 stars for the same reason.) Between the 2 different parts, it seems as though this could be engineered in such a way that would allow for quick removal/install and storage within the rack system itself, as is done on many other makes of vehicles and their OEM roof racks.
I searched a lot of websites before finding what I needed on etrailer.com for my 2012 Suzuki GV. I was looking for the proper mounts to install a Kayak rack system. Because my vehicle has a built in rail system it was very confusing what was needed. Thank you etrailer for hooking me up with the appropriate parts for the Rhino system, it worked great!
The Rhino Rack BLOCKS my SUNROOF. It was recommended for my 2018 Highlander on the etrailer website. A 2018 Highlander with a sunroof is shown on etrailer in the install video. However, I can not open my sunroof. etrailer refuses to refund or exchange it and have no options for fixing this issue!
Two stars because the provided hardware interferes with the factory rails when using the provided cover plates (to be installed when you remove the cross bars & towers). Had to source my own 12mm long cap screws because provided 16mm were too long. Otherwise works as advertised.
Rock solid attachment, the install didn’t go as smooth as hoped, but got it to work. Customer service was very available, though I do t think anything they could have done to make the install easier - chalked up to slight car model variations.
We bought the Rhino Rack after realizing that neither of the other brands would fit right onto our Highlander. I ended up having to purchase both of the other major brands to figure that out. In the end, I found out that the Rhino rack fit exactly to the stock configuration of our car. It also held much more weight than the comparable brands. We could not be happier with this rack. I would recommend just skipping the other brands and getting the Rhino Rack regardless of your vehicle model. I found it to be a very well-designed rack system. All of the accessories fit perfectly. It even looks great on our car.
Custom RCP fit Kit was the perfect solution for my 2019 equinox with fixed mounting points. GM seems to have discontinued the cross bars for my model and etrailer is the only place I could source a rhino rack that fit. In the end it saved me 400-500 dollars and helped me avoid having to install something that would interfere with my water seal. No issues with shipping even though I reside in Ontario Canada. Original kit I ordered cake with base for CRV. Quick response when I emailed regarding a return and ordering the correct part. Highly recommend.
Proper fit on our 2023 CX-5.
All parts arrived on time and undamaged, and installation was pretty straightforward and easy.
My review of the rhino roof rack is disappointing. It has been whistling and I tried undoing and trying again a second time and it still whistles. I’m left thinking of other methods to silence the whistling.
I like the racks. They were extremely difficult for Me to install. I had trouble getting them to line up from left to right with the factory holes on my Honda Crv Touring. Also, I am getting a great deal of road noise but I am afraid to remove them for the summer in case they are difficult to reinstall for ski season.
Great customer service with James on the front end. Arrived sooner than expected! Fairly easy setup. It took me a little over an hour.
We will be using it to haul paddle boards as well as a tandem road bike. One of our next purchases will be the batwing awning and possibly the Tag-a-long tent if we don’t get a roof top tent
I am glad that etrailer puts the bundles together so you get all the parts you need for your vehicle. This is one part of three needed for my Honda CRV. Other sites make you figure all the components on your own with suggestions and it gets super confusing. etrailer all the way for me!
Looks great! Was hoping for a quieter ride but am getting a lot of wind noise. I will be adding a wind Fairing to see if this helps.
Price, Quality, communication, Shipping Speed. Everything about this is excellent!
