Specs:
These low-profile, aerodynamic Vortex Aero crossbars let you build a stylish aftermarket roof rack from scratch. The crossbars require 4 Rhino-Rack legs (manufactured in 2014 or later) and a custom fit kit to mount it to your roof. Each bar extends past the roof rack legs to maximize the space for mounting carriers and accessories. Rubberized Vortex strips in each crossbar's top channel disrupt airflow for a quiet ride, and the bars are constructed of aluminum so they won't rust. The crossbars also include Secure Core endcaps with plastic locks to help deter theft of channel-mounted accessories.
The rubberized Vortex strips in the top channel of each crossbar disrupt airflow with evenly spaced, wave-shaped grooves. This carefully controlled turbulence minimizes wind noise and whistling, so you won't need to add a fairing to your roof rack. And the slim, elliptical Vortex Aero crossbars cut through the air with minimal drag - even at highway speeds.
The Vortex Aero crossbars are made of structural-grade anodized aluminum with H-shaped internal extrusions. These extrusions strengthen the bars without adding a significant amount of weight. And the aluminum bars won't rust so you can leave them on your roof year-round.
Each crossbar has a channel in the bottom for mounting to Rhino-Rack roof rack legs (sold separately). Each end of the channel includes a rubber ruler to help you center the bar on your roof. Simply use the numbers and hash marks on the rulers to ensure the legs are spaced properly in the channel.
Each Vortex Aero crossbar has a built-in C-channel so you can carry channel-mounted accessories such as bike racks, watersport carriers, and ski racks. The Vortex strips in the top channels come in 3 pieces, so they're easier to adjust than a single long, continuous strip. You can remove, trim, and re-insert the Vortex strips around the mounting hardware of your accessories to keep the crossbar channels capped and quiet. Replacement strips (sold separately) are also available if you remove your accessories or switch to clamp-on accessories.
You can also attach most clamp-on accessories to the bars, and the Vortex strips provide shock-absorbing, no-slip cushions for any accessories that rest on them.
Each crossbar includes 2 Secure Core locking endcaps made of durable polypropylene. These endcaps lock with a universal tubular key. The polypropylene locks secure the endcaps to the crossbars and help to secure channel-mounted accessories to the crossbars. For maximum security, you can upgrade to endcaps with all-metal lock cores (RRVA-LEC4 - sold separately).

These are nice looking rails (though difficult to see from way below when they're way up there on my Ford Transit). But they worked well with the mounts (and adapter). Holding up great a year in!
Easy install, product as described. Customer service was very helpful resolving any issues. Only negative for me was the track hardware was very long other than that everything was spot on.
The two crossbars fit perfect on my 2018 F150 truck bed cover. My tonneau cover comes with two rail tracks. I purchased two sets of Rhino-Rack RTL600 foot system and a T-FK3 RLT600 Track Fit Kit. The crossbars are aerodynamic design and provide higher weight support than Yakima or Thule crossbars with the same length.
The only thing I'm complaining about is the warehouse and shipping time is too long. I ordered this set on early July and waited about 1 month to get the final product. The product is not in stock, somehow, they need to wait a long time from the manufacturer. I understand sometimes the shipping and handling can take a while but a month is way too long. My credit card authorization even expired too. I have to make another order and the representative did help the rest of this issue, return the price difference to me. I'm happy about that.
All in all, I am pleased with the product. But the purchase experience is not as good as I expected. There are many things can change to save the hassle.
Paired the Vortex Aero bars with the Rhino base/feet to install on our Retrax XR Pro. The bars are a quality extrusion, that easily fit all of our existing accessories. We mounted 1up USA bike racks and a Yakima box to our Aero bars.
Buying from trailer could not be easier, if you are not confident with the technical details online, their customer service is knowledgeable of the products they sell and are actually in the USA. Terri N has made my recent buys foolproof, from initial ordering to delivery, Terri, communicates throughout the whole process, and always ensure everything I need is included, to prevent follow up orders, that would delay your install.
Look nicer than the heavier duty squAre Tube bar.
Great quality stuff. Still holds after one year under Texas heat. No issues. And the customer service was top notch. Will buy from them again.
Amazing product!
I have a 2012 Camry hybrid and haul a 180 L windsurfing board. My rack came as promised but lacked one of the bolts needed. I made one phone call and the missing bolt was on my porch in 2 days.
There's virtually no wind noise, surprising since the car is very very quiet at baseline and I expected there to be some.
My car lacks tie down or towing attachments so I got some of the loop type that clamp under the hood and trunk.
I'm very pleased with construction, fit, ease of use, and customer support. I'd buy it again.
Rhino rack does not stand behind their product. Beware had 3 broken and they won't replace the items. The end caps don't latch. Sent several pics per request for correction and the warranty dept just stopped responding.
Buyer beware, this is not a 1 off problem, the design is flawed. Cheap plastic is supposed to latch but just twist tight under the metal and after a half dozen or so adjustments the plastic is worn off.
Don't buy these.
Great product and easy installation. Much better than the Thule factory racks that came with the leer truck topper rail system. Also like how they can unlatch! I hauled a fishing kayak and a Yakima rod coffin case all the way from Florida to North Dakota. Racks are strong.
I shopped online retailers namely Amazon and EBAY looking for the cross bar setup I would need for my 2012 Toyota Camry LE. My Camry has a naked roof. The whole experience was confusing. None of the needed components were combined together. I found each component listed separately but nothing to indicate they were the correct components for my car. Then ETRAILER.COM popped up in my search. I simply entered my car’s year, make, and model, and answered the question about the car roof (being naked with no factory installed cargo bars) and suddenly I had a list of the available cross bars for my vehicle with all the necessary components to install them. One or two clicks put the whole thing in my cart for purchase. ETRAILER .COM is your one stop shop. As a side note I purchased Yakima ski racks on sale to install on these cross bars. Another customer asked if these ski racks would fit his car and I explained yes they will with the appropriate cross bars. I sent him to “ETRAILER.COM” so he could get the correct setup. Pictures forthcoming.
Durable looking product and has an easy install. On the roof of my van for the past year and still looking good. Holding out for 5 stars because I'm eating to see how it holds up in the desert sun after a few more years. Rhino-Rack is very hard to get information from regarding their products but etrailer had all the answers and gave me confidence with buying the product.
Great addition to the bed track of my 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz! I got these for my rhino rack rod holder since they made such noise on the oem roof rack. So happy I went with rhino rack. You can't beat the price and the quality is as good if not better than Thule or Yakima. Highly reccomend.
Hi George from etrailer,
The rack is awesome! Strong, firm hold and nice looking. When doing surveys, I put my ladders on the rack.
I highly recommend this etrailer.
The rack is great. Well made with quality components, and compared to other brands, a very good value. I purchased the rack(s) to go on the top of a new Leer canopy with factory installed rails, supplied by Thule. The Rhine Rack cross bars are a great and less expensive alternative to other brands.
My only complaint is that the Thule rails/tracks require the removal of end caps and mounting bolts to install the crossbar mounts, and that requires breaking the watertight sealing installed at the factory. That’s not the fault of Rhino Rack. However, if they could develop a mounting system (ZwifLoc?) that did not require access to the track from an open end, it would be SO much better!
Great fit, looks good even on my hail damaged Sierra, like the locking feature. Outer shipping box was trashed by carrier, but inner product boxes protected product. Like where it was made, quality strong product.
My Thule UpRide Roof bike rack mounted perfect in the T-Slots! Mounts easily and no issues in the Truxedo T-Slot rails on my Ford Ranger. Mounts perfect in Truxedo T-Slot rails.
Jeep wangler 2024 4xe with skyone touch top .Amazing the setup for my fishing kayak 12 feet. Everyone was looking at my setup on the road , and it was secure. Big thx to Kurt w & Paul B to recomand this kayak setup
10/10 www.Etrailer.
very solid rack, it's not going anywhere. Several fasteners to affix to truck cap. Clean look for the First Gen Tacoma (1999).
This is the second vehicle now that I've put the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar roof rack kit on. The instructions aren't too hard to follow with basic assembly knowledge and etrailer has a video tutorial for installation instruction which helped also. I didn't realize the allen wrench they provided also doubles as the security bolt bit you'll need when installing the brackets into the tracks so I just picked one up at the local hardware store. It's a great value for this product and I never had issues with my last kit and don't anticipate any with this one.
My roof rack arrived today and I installed the rails.
The product is sturdy, and attractive.
I am very pleased with the quality.
Installation Instructions are clear and precise.
The most important detail is to install the tracks parallel to each other and square to the roof
I recommend taking time to get this step correct.
I had another rack at one point but this rhino rack is far superior.
I would recommend it highly.
I feel like this could be a lot better. If the cross bars were about an inch longer it would fit perfectly but it’s kind of in the middle of I like it or I don’t. For the pice I feel like it should be better. Also it’s stretched so much the caps are almost impossible to put on.
