This low-profile, aerodynamic Vortex Aero crossbar lets you replace a damaged bar, add a third bar to an existing rack, or build a stylish aftermarket roof rack from scratch. The crossbar requires a pair of Rhino-Rack legs (manufactured in 2014 or later) and a custom fit kit to mount it to your roof. This bar extends past the roof rack legs to maximize the space for mounting carriers and accessories. Rubberized Vortex strips in the crossbar's top channel disrupt airflow for a quiet ride, and the bar is constructed of aluminum so it won't rust. The crossbar also includes Secure Core endcaps with plastic locks to help deter theft of channel-mounted accessories.
Aerodynamic Design
The rubberized Vortex strips in the top channel of this 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 crossbar cuts through the air with minimal drag - even at highway speeds.
Strong, Durable Construction
The Vortex Aero crossbar is made of structural-grade anodized aluminum with an H-shaped internal extrusion. This extrusion strengthens the bar without adding a significant amount of weight. And the aluminum bar won't rust so you can leave it on your roof year-round.
No-Hassle Installation
The 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.
Channel-Mounted and Clamp-On Accessories
The 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 strip in the top channel comes in 3 pieces, so it's 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 channel 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 bar, and the Vortex strip provides a shock-absorbing, no-slip cushion for any accessories that rest on it.
Built-In Security
The 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 crossbar and help to secure channel-mounted accessories to the crossbar. For maximum security, you can upgrade to endcaps with all-metal lock cores (RRVA-LEC2 - sold separately).

Carry larger and longer cargo on your vehicle's existing roof rack by installing the Rhino-Rack T-Load in your 2-inch trailer hitch. This adjustable-height crossbar system provides the lateral support you need to safely carry long gear such as a ladder or kayak on your roof rack.
The T-Load includes a 49-inch-long, Vortex Aero crossbar that sits parallel to your roof-rack crossbars. The aluminum crossbar is mounted on an anti-swivel plate to ensure stability. And it has a built-in channel for mounting Rhino-Rack accessories such as ratcheting tie-downs and load supports. The crossbar also has a rubber insert in the channel that helps to cushion your load and that provides slip resistance during transport. The insert can be cut to accommodate channel-mounted accessories. An anti-swivel plate provides a stable mounting point for your crossbar. The plate is designed to accommodate a Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero (included) or Heavy-Duty (sold separately) crossbar, so you can swap out the bar depending on the accessories you wish to use with the system.
The height of the T-Load's upright bar is adjustable to match the height of your roof-rack crossbars. This enables you to use the T-Load on multiple vehicles. To adjust the height, simply loosen a nut and bolt, slide the bar up or down, and retighten the bolt. You also have the option to secure the T-Load in place at a fixed height. To mount the T-Load in a fixed position, drill a hole in the bar at the desired height and use the included wire lock linchpin to hold it in place. This option is great for those who will frequently be using the T-Load on the same vehicle - or for those who are always reinstalling the carrier and don't want to line up the height and use a wrench every time. Once your hole is drilled, the system requires no further adjustment, and drilling the hole enables you to simply pull the pin and lower the crossbar for convenient storage when not in use.
The upright bar of the T-Load tilts forward and away from your vehicle for easier loading and better access to the rear cargo area. The bar has a bracket in the base that lets you choose between two angles of tilt.
A rubber mat is provided to serve as a no-slip base for leaning a kayak or canoe onto the crossbar from the ground. To load, place the bow of your watercraft on the mat, lay the other end on the T-Load crossbar, and push the kayak or canoe up and onto your roof rack.
This system includes a pair of load supports that you install by clamping them around the crossbar. The load supports can be positioned anywhere along the bar to accommodate cargo of different widths. Each load support has an angled side and a straight side. For an item with a curved shape - such as a kayak - position the load stops with the angled sides facing each other on the crossbar. For straight-edge items - such as ladders or lumber - position the load stops with the flat sides facing each other.
The T-Load comes with a 51-inch-long nylon strap to use when you are carrying your canoe or kayak hull-side down. The strap - or sling - has buckles that you insert into cutouts on the load stops to anchor the strap in place. When pulled tight, the strap helps to balance the canoe or kayak during transport. Use tie-down straps and bow/stern tie-downs (sold separately) to properly anchor your kayak to your roof when using the T-Load.

Using this on a 2021 Honda Passport. The rack works as shown on videos although it will take some getting used to using it with a Hobie Outback Kayak. Assembly was pretty easy; to me, the video was much better than the instructions. A lock does come with it, but had differing opinions whether it did or didn’t so I ordered a lock that I’ll be returning.
The hitch pin for this uses a threaded bolt and the assembly does rattle a bit when installed.

Product shopped immediately, arrived as scheduled.
Had installed and kayak on top of car within two hours of opening box. Very simple. I am 67, still go to gym a lot, but my joints ache and back is feeling the years, so this makes loading of my 85 lb kayak now very easy. Worked smooth first time, though practicing the balance while unloading and rocking the bar back is important.
I previously used a Yakima Bar Extender, (pic attached) which was fine for my previous lighter kayak. But I did scratch the side of my car many times with the Yakima system when unloading, and nearly dropped the heavier yak several times because the Yakima bar sagged under the extra weight of the newer yak. I just got a new Subaru and dearly wanted to avoid any scratches. This Rhino Rack seems perfect option, kayak is always under control, and is very secure.

2012 Ford F-450 Super Duty
We had the challenge of how to carry 2 kayaks this summer in addition to hauling a 30 foot gooseneck horse trailer. We have F450 crew cab with custom truck bed. We hoped to use the "head ache" bar on the truck bed to support the rear sets of Swagman Rincon supports and purchased a single Rhino Vortex bar for the forward sets on top of the cab. We have 10.5 and 12 foot kayaks and this looks to be an excellent solution. The kayaks are clear of the gooseneck trailer even in a "jackknife" position. Please note the truck bed is extra long therefore there is plenty of room forward the nose of the trailer. We have not hauled yet but will convey any issues if there are any. eTrailer tech support was excellent. Product shipped as projected. Installation took approximatly 3 hours.
by: Steve05/12/2023
Etrailer was great to deal with. They had everything I needed in stock and delivery was quick. They were also very helpful after the sale with questions I had regarding installation.
by: jeremy03/05/2013
great product! got it to haul my kayak on my unlimited rubicon (soft top) instead of installing a full roof rack. worked out great. easy install, well built, and removeable. good price too. i highly recomend

Bought this for a 2015 Jeep Cherokee to load a Hobie Passport and it works great. I was hesitant about carrying the kayak with just the two cross bars. This third wing helps to load and secure the kayak.
Loading - I spread the goal posts wide enough for the beam of the boat and lift one end onto it. When lifting the other end and sliding onto the roof rack, the goal posts keep the boat from sliding laterally too much.
Securing - I narrow the goal posts to fit the boat and secure at three points: the two roof rack cross bars and the Rhino Rack. The front and back are narrow enough to prevent the boat from sliding forward or backwards so no bow or stern lines needed.
It is a bit pricey, a bit heavy, and awkward to store, but it gives me a lot of peace of mind that the kayak isn't going anywhere while I'm on the freeway. Plus it was one of the few that was adjustable enough to get to the same height as the roof rack cross bars.

I purchased the T Load support bar system for my 2013 Ford F-150 FX4. My kayak is a Seda Glider, weighing 42 Lbs and 19ft long. I’m so glad I opted for the T Loader, as my long kayak would be next to impossible to load onto the cab roof racks without the T Loader. With the T Loader, I can completely load my
kayak while standing behind the truck with no stress or strain. I’m 68 years old and about 6’ tall. I honestly don’t think I could load my long kayak without the T Loader!
My complete Rhino Rack system was not cheap, but it is very strong and stable on the road at 70MPH. This system enables me to take my kayak anywhere I want to go, safely and without hassle.
by: Brian01/11/2015
I bought this load assist bar for my hobie pro angler 14 ft . This was the first time using both of them . It went well they are some down falls with it but I would still highly recommend it . My vehicle is a 02 ford excursion. The t bar loader is well built but my first problem is that the hitch pin is a little short but still works and it is the wrong diameter for the size of the hole it should be a 5/8 pin size instead of 1/2 inch diameter. The second thing is, and it might be because of my vehicle, the height it extends to is a little short for my rig. It still does the job just fine but there is no rear end support witch is not a big deal for me . One thing you have to be carful of is when you are unloading your kayak the t-bar does fall towards you . I do use a small step ladder after I have the kayak on the roof to adjust it. Without the t-loader it would be nearly impossible to do it .

My setup -
Thule - Super easy to setup. Thule Goalpost Hitch Mounted Load Bar (TH997)
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar (RRVA150B) and associated fit kit - Single set
Solid construction but the directions for the Rhino-Rack components are worthless. Look online to get general idea of installation.
by: John B.11/29/2017
The unit is much more stable than expected. No rocking or swaying even with a side wind. The canoe is easy to load, I come in from the drivers side, set one end of the canoe in between the uprights and then move over to the truck and set the other end on the bar across the extended cab and then just lift it over. Of course the 5th wheel is not in this picture but that is why we load over the front.
by: John 11/01/2023
The Rhino Rack Load Assist looks like it will satisfy my need completely. I have an inflatable dinghy, which weighs the same as a kayak. The Load Assist will help me place the dinghy on the roof racks of my Toyota Highlander! The packaging was well worn when the product arrived at my home but the double packaging by etrailer.com ensured all parts arrived safely.
by: Paul03/20/2024
Worked well. Some time to install but worked well for my lightweight canoe.

A representative told me that my pickup tailgate would open without hitting the vertical support in the lowered position, but it did hit. Disappointed.
by: David S08/21/2023
Just got this in and installed last week. I used it for the first time this weekend and it worked great. It is MUCH easier to load my kayak on the Thule TracRac on my pickup. I need to work out how to slow the descent rate of the support bar when putting up or taking down the kayak. If you are putting the kayak up with it and need to lower it for some unexpected reason, the bar will come back at you fast. You might need some quick reflexes to keep it from hitting you. Having a full size pickup, I was pleased to see the hitch mount had two holes in it so I could bolt it in the hole closest to the end to give it the extra length needed to allow the tailgate to open fully without hitting the bar (when at the 45 degree angle). The nylon strap across the support bar is handy but I am wondering if it would be better to not use it when putting the kayak up onto the truck. Some trial and error may be needed to minimize the chance of getting hit on the noggin but it isn't a big deal right now. I have a few ideas to try (or suggestions from the Rhino-Rack people might be good).
I'm only giving it 4 stars just because of the rapid descent issue (which admittedly could be my fault for a lack of being able to find anything in the instructions about this) and I can't give it 4.5 stars. I think it is a great product though and it only took me about 45 minutes to install. (I'm a slow, methodical reader.)
by: Adi08/03/2023
Worked okay, except for the fact that the included hitch pin lock didn’t work for me. I have a recessed tow hitch on my Tesla Model Y, and as a result there is not enough room to operate the included lock and key that is in line with the hitch pin. Having a hitch lock with a key hole that was angled 90 degrees towards the rear of the vehicle would have helped. That, or including a shorter hitch pin so that I could thread it in from the left and lock in on the right would have helped.
by: Don06/25/2022
I think it just looks good first of all. I can carry my paddle boards and still use my one touch roof top.
by: Mike 09/06/2023
Overall it was fairly easy to assemble. The non-slip mat was much different and flimsy compared to the reviews and videos I watched on this product. As for ease of use it made loading my 100lb fishing kayak a breeze. Ensure you fully tighten the bolt in the hitch receiver or you’ll have too much play in the upright when loading.
by: Mark07/01/2023
Well constructed of heavy materials. Once the screw in hitch pin is tightened (with the included wrench), the rack stays put with no rattle. A plastic lock was included for the hitch pin. Metal would probably have been better but it works as is. The instructions were OK with just pictures and no word descriptions and it took me about 40 minutes to assemble. I have a 17 foot composite canoe that was difficult to load onto my crew cab truck Yakima roof racks by myself. This product works as intended and I am able to load my canoe by myself. I'm 5'7" and had to let the canoe drop the last several inches onto the rack as I couldn't reach high enough as it pivoted forward. I may try attaching a rope to aid in controlling the canoe as it moves forward toward the roof rack. The pivot point of the rack to swing forward and aft is a bit snug and is a little difficult to get it to move. Hopefully that will get smoother with more use and maybe some lubricant. I drilled the optional hole for the permanent height adjustment and the material was very heavy to drill. Overall an excellent product and I highly recommend it.

by: Don05/30/2023
Just what I needed to replace a defective set I bough from a less reliable company. I do think that the pin in the center of the allen hole of the tensioner bolt is a bad design that requires using the special Rhino Rack allen torque tool. Why not just make it a regular allen wrench bolt since it is already securely locked by the keyed cover? If you loose the specialty tool you cannot remove the racks without punching out the center pin in the tensioner bolt.
by: RobH4106/03/2022
So far I can't comment on functionality, as some assembly parts were and still remain missing. I did as asked and sent a photo of the bar code on the box to etrailer, but have not received the missing part, so I'm having to fabricate something in order to use it. The attachment hole(s) to the hitch require drilling out in order to take a normal hitch pin and I had to cut 3/8" off to get it to fit my hitch receiver. Maybe it fits CURT hitch receivers, but it's not really standard. Seems well made, but something of a hassle if all the assembly parts are not there and the hitch insert has to be both shortened and drilled out to make a standard hitch pin work with it.
by: Paul09/10/2023
The T-loader was easy to assemble and worked as promised in the specs and videos. It has made loading my 16.5 foot kayak much easier, and it is now essentially a one person job.

Toyota Tacoma
I am very happy with the purchase of my Rhino Rack crossbar for my Toyota Tacoma. I added it because the Yakima Rack on my 5' bed did not hold my kayak in the position I wanted. I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of wind noise after reading numerous complaints of whistling at hwy speeds.
by: The W07/14/2023
Needed a third Vortex bar and Etrailer had the best price. One end of the box was not taped and had come open during shipping. The plastic end got a little scraped up, but not too bad. Luckily none of the parts fell out. I suggest taping both end of boxes before shipping.

- The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar part # RRVA150B, and part # RRRLKVAH, and part # DK470 would allow you to mount a single crossbar on a 2017 Honda Ridgeline. This is a custom fit system that clamps around the door sills. It has a 165 lb capacity and will do a great job of providing support for longer items. It is often coupled with the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar part # RTL002.

- Since the track on the underside of the Rhino Rack crossbars does not run the full length of the bar and it is what the feet of the rack attach to we can't guarantee you'd be able to fit the longer bars on your rack. I can say that when we installed the 54 inch rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRCH4, and # RRRCP45-BK on a similar Explorer we found there was several inches further to the inside that the feet of the rack could attach to so I would be inclined to believe that the longer

- The best way to secure a canoe on a 2017 Ford F-150 is on the roof, offset to the rear with a load extender for added stability and support. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System and T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist composed of the following parts; part # RRVA150B, part # RRRLKVAH, part # RTL002, and part # DK427H. This is a great custom fit system that will look great on the truck and preform flawlessly. The best of all is that you can still use your bed space as you would

With the Rhino Rack setup you get a higher quality rack that's very stable and easy to use at a better price than the similar rack options out there from other brands that are much more expensive.

- For a third crossbar to install on your cab of your 2021 Ford F-150, it depends on what cab style you have. If you happen to have a SuperCrew cab or a SuperCab, I recommend the following setup:

- For your 2017 Ford F-450 Rhino Rack does not have any door jamb style roof racks as they only have the style that require drilling into the roof and installing a channel.

- The replacement leg that you need is not available individually. Instead you will want to use Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs or Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 2 part # RRRLKVAH.

- If you like the idea of having one crossbar on the roof of your 2012 Ram 2500 along with a goalpost style upright then I do have a solution for you.
For a single crossbar on your Ram you need the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVAH, the DK Fit Kit # DK043H, and a 65" long crossbar like part # RRVA165S for silver or # RRVA165B for black. This has a weight capacity of 80 lbs.

- Rhino Rack roof rack crossbars and feet can be purchased so as to easily come up with a single crossbar roof rack but unfortunately the vehicle specific fit kits are sold in quantities of 4 clamps, so you'll end up with two extras.
To install a single crossbar rack on your 2018 F250 Crew Cab, I'd recommend going with the Vortex Aero crossbar. You'll need the following:
-Vortex Aero Crossbar, part # RRVA150S

Once I have these specifications, I would love to help you find one that fits with a tonneau cover!

- I may have a solution for you, but since you have a stepside 2001 GMC Sierra none of the ladder racks we offer would work as a fit.
What you would want is a roof rack to start with like part # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK227 and then go with a hitch mounted crossbar like the Rhino-Rack T-Load # RTL002 for if you needed more support. This would be the best option you would have that should work well and wouldn't interfere with your toolbox.

view full answer... - Roof Rack Extender Solution for 2017 Honda Ridgeline Sport
- Best option we have would be a hitch mounted roof rack extender like the Rhino-Rack # RTL002. This installs in a 2 inch hitch and has an adjustable height crossbar so that you could match it to the height of your roof rack crossbars. Your 2017 Honda Ridgeline comes with a factory hitch that is the correct size for this.

- The Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar for 2" Hitches - 49" # RTL002 is only offered with a silver Rhino-Rack Vortex crossbar, however, down the road you could swap out the crossbar with a black 49" Vortex crossbar # RRVA126B if you so desired.

- The hitch mounted extension on the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar, # RTL002, is going to have a maximum capacity of 165 lbs. As for the rooftop crossbar, you will be limited to the vehicle's roof capacity which should be listed in your owner's manual.
view full answer... - What is the Length of the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist?
- The adjustable height range of the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar for 2" Hitches - 49" Long # RTL002 is 42-64 inches high. In order to make sure that the Rhino-Rack T-Load will clear your camper shell and reach your crossbars, I recommend measuring the pinhole of your hitch receiver to the top of your shell. The Rhino-Rack T-Load hitch is not used for a lift assist.
However, if you are looking for a higher load assist for your Kaku Wahoo, I recommend the

- If you have a 2" x 2" trailer hitch receiver on your 2018 Audi Q7 then yes, the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar for 2" Hitches # RTL002 would be a compatible fit.
if you didn't have a 2" trailer hitch receiver and instead had a 1-1/4" receiver you can replace it with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e88KR. It's also recommended that all non-trailer loads (bike racks, cargo carriers, etc) should be supported by stabilizing straps, such as part # 18050,

- Because the 2011 Toyota 4Runner comes with either factory side rails that run front to back or crossbars that run side to side, Yakima does not offer a Q-clip option for the vehicle. What I recommend, if the vehicle has a factory 2 inch trailer hitch, is the T-Load, # RTL002.
This load extender fits into a 2 inch receiver, is height adjustable, and will offer much more stability for roof mounted items than a third bar would.
view full answer... - Can I Use J-Style Carriers in Conjunction with the Rhino-Rack # RTL002 on My 2016 Subaru Outback?
- Technically, this setup might work. However, there are some caveats. Firstly, the Malone FoldAway-J Kayak Carrier with Tie Downs - J-Style # MAL98FR is not confirmed to be large enough to clamp around the crossbars of the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar for 2" Hitches # RTL002. For this reason, I recommend using one of the Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding # S512-S512X instead. This j-style carrier is confirmed to fit larger crossbars

- I have a solution for you. I did some research on the Mountain Top bed systems, and it looks like the system covers both the inside rails of the truck bed as well as the stake pockets. Unfortunately, all the ladder racks we carry require for one of those two options to be available for installation of our ladder racks.
With that being said, I recommend the Rhino-Rack T-Load # RTL002. The rise of the T-Load on the back hitch has an adjustable height of 42" - 64" inches. For securing your

- The Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar, part # RTL002, can be used with your 2014 Ford F-150 with 2-inch hitch to transport items like ladders, kayaks, canoes and your SUP.
There is no limitation to the distances you can travel but it will be a good idea to periodically clean off the cab roof where the carrier bar rests to remove any trapped dirt or grit that could cause abrasion to your paint. This would be a good daily travel practice when the carrier is in use.
view full answer... - Will Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist RTL002 Hold SUP and Kayak
- Since the T load bar on the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist # RTL002 is 49-inches and the included roof rack bar adjusts from 42 to 64-inches you should have no problem at all placing a kayak and a SUP on this carrier. Most kayaks have a strongly tapered bow and stern so these parts will not take up that much space on the T bar or the roof rack bar.
What you can do is measure the SUP and kayak lengths to determine what part of each will actually rest on the bars. This will

- I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, there isn't a ladder rack that will work with your canopy because your canopy covers the truck's bed rails as well as the stake pockets (which are the two attachment points for ladder racks).
With that being said, a great solution is the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar for 2" Hitches # RTL002. The Extend-A-Truck will provide you a rear mounting point for a ladder or other long cargo (such as a kayak or canoe) on your

- The Rhino Rack T-Load # RTL002 will help you load your kayak if you have a saddle type kayak carrier like this # MPG110MD because you will have the kayak sitting upright on the T-Load Bar and then it'll fall nicely into the Saddle.
If you want the ultimate ease of use kayak carrier you should get the Thule Hullavator # TH898 because it will lower to the side of your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee where you can tie it down and then easily lift the kayak up and onto your roof. You'll need a

- If you don't want to, it is not a necessity to add a roof rack to your 2014 Ford Edge in order to use the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar for 2" Hitches # RTL002.
If you'd like to use foam blocks you can absolutely do so, with the Malone Deluxe Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - Foam Block Style # MPG152.
This will give you the exact set up you are looking for to haul your kayak.

- The height adjustment range of the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist part # RTL002 is between 42" and 64" and the weight capacity is 165 lbs. Therefore, so long as the height of the roof rack on the vehicle and weight of the boat are within this range then you'll be good to go.
Please note, the t-load is designed for 2" hitches so the only way to use this with a 1-1/4" hitch is with the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # e43YR.

- To transport your kayak on your 2011 Toyota Tundra with a BakFlip Tonneau Cover installed, I actually recommend looking at a load extender like the Rhino-Rack T-Load Load Bar # RTL002 as long as there is a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver on the truck. This hitch-mounted load bar will enable you to load your kayak onto it and the roof of the cab using a foam block kayak carrier like the Rightline Gear # RL100K10.

- Using a load extender with a roof rack is a great idea! It will allow you to keep the tailgate closed and the Tonneau cover in place just like you want.
To make that happen let's first look at roof racks. Since you will be using a load extender you can use a single bar roof rack. You will just need bar # RRVA150S, feet # RRRLKVAH, and fit kit # DK427H. Then, for a load extender, I recommend # Y01149-1150.
