These tracks mount directly to your naked-roof vehicle to create strong, low-profile attachment points for Rhino-Rack roof-rack legs. Each track has dual C-channels so that you can mount the tracks to your roof and mount legs to the tracks.Custom built a mixed Rhino-Rack and Thule bike carrier. Started with the RTC tracks, added Rhino-Rack crossbars, then Thule bike carriers. Customer support was very helpful in getting compatible parts. Took some ingenuity on my part, too, but I love the way it turned out!
Marc - 04/23/2022Rhino tracks are great - I installed on my truck topper per the great instructions that were included (see photos). The tracks flexed to meet the contours of my topper. All bolts are hidden by track and were long enough to go through topper where special knobbed nuts are used to secure. Total install took about three hours.
etrailer customer service came through to resolve several challenges on this order:
- I initially ordered Yakima tracks. There were long shipping times, so etrailer recommended different compatible tracks from Rhino that were $40 cheaper!
- the initial shipment had not arrived in nearly three weeks with no USPS shipping updates. etrailer sent a second set of tracks via a different shipper that arrived in a few days.
- unfortunately the replacement tracks were incorrect - too long and endcaps were missing.
- while eTrailer was arranging to resend the endcaps, the original USPS order arrived with the correct tracks and all parts.
- eTrailer had me keep the correct tracks and parts, and send me a label to ship the incorrect tracks back to them.
All of these interactions were made with very professional and friendly customer service staff. I felt like I was a valued customer!
I mounted these rails in a non-traditional manner (on top of my truck bed caps so that I could crossbars that spanned over my existing tonneau cover). No one I talked with had actually done this type of installation before. The only problems I ran into were: 1) I had to cut the rails approximately 1/2 inch to ensure the through-bolts did not interfere with existing cap hardware, and; 2) The "Nyloc Nuts" were too wide to use so I just substituted a nut, lock washer and flat washer to compensate. Other than that, the installation took a while but came out great. And the RRRL T600 feet work perfectly with the rails. See the attached photo for the complete installation (with bikes attached) and a second photo with the rack removed by using the quick release feet.

The good.
The package arrived a few days after ordering without delays.
All parts were properly packaged and all quantities were correct.
The rails seem sturdy and the finish appears that it will hold up over time.
The rails have a clean factory type look. I mounted them on the bed rails of my Jeep Gladiator.
They fit nicely next to my hard tri-fold tonneau cover frame.
The dimensions given online were accurate.
The not so good.
The descriptions online made me feel like this was a "universal" size track. It is not. It seems as though all of the major brands have proprietary T-bolt sizes. I am currently using elevator bolts that I hit with the bench grinder to hold accessories until I can find a good fit.
Good track option because the slots allow you to add or remove square nuts as needed. Pretty robust feel as well!
Easy to install. Works just as expected. Good quality product. Less expensive as than others, just as good in my opinion.
They don’t send all the material you need. I’m short on most components. Counting is not that hard
Brooke M - 09/16/2021Fit Perfect
The price is right, and the product appears generally well-engineered. I'd be reluctant to label it as "heavy duty" however (as Rhino does), since they are made of extruded aluminum, and each tower is mounted by just two small square washers gripping the rails. Although the mounting hardware itself is sturdy stainless steel, I question the sturdiness of the rails themselves under a heavy load. Unfortunately, the competition likewise only makes aluminum rails, so the industry as a whole appears to have a very different concept of sturdy than I do. (I could have sworn they are described as steel when I ordered them, but I may be wrong about that).
No issues with the product or service
These actually came in over 60”. Should have bee 55”. Lucky I had the room for extra length. Maybe mis boxed??
Very durable, good fit and finish!
Great bars, no issues at all and work good.
Staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Product was priced right and delivered quickly as promised!
Great rails - exactly like I needed!
Review from a similar RTC in Roof Rack
Overall pleased with the product. The rails were solid and I was able to shorten them for my application. My only complaint is the rubber gaskets could be a little easier to apply as mine were somewhat melted in the box. Installation was not difficult assuming you can measure and take your time. I mounted some Yakima landing pads on them with Yakima feet and bars.
Review from a similar RTC in Roof Rack
First of all, it turned out pretty well.
However, after the tracks arrived in distressed packing (see photo), I worried I'd need to return and start over, but fortunately, the contents of the package were undamaged. Then, since the holes for the T-bolts to secure the tracks required a 6.5mm drill, I had to order one before starting the installation process. Another $x for the two drills. Then carefully measuring and double checking that there was clearance underneath for attaching the knobs, and then I triple checked the measurements again. The most important one is the 15mm measure from the ends of the tracks for the first T-bolt at each end of the tracks. The other holes are not as critical since you are able to slide the T-bolts in the track to align with its corresponding hole. I did add a bit of silicone on the holes for extra leak prevention. Probably, unnecessary. At first I thought these tracks could have been a bit longer for my camper shell on a 5' bed, however once installed, they look pretty good (see photos). Now, if I'm able to install roof basket that attaches with my new tracks, I'll be very happy.
