Fit my F150 Lightning perfectly (on the RetraxPro XR). Went with the 65” bar so to avoid the larger overhang with the 71” bar. Very pleased with rhino rack - solid design, easy to install, and a great value. Added 15mm spacers to ensure clearance of the tonneau latch mechanism under the cross bar. Paired with 1up bike racks.



by:

Strong and easy set up. Pace Edwards Ultra Trac cover will NOT accept this system even though rhino-rack claims it will. Only if you modify the plates that slide into the track. They’re too wide. I swapped mine out for this to fit my roll top.



by:

I installed this on a Retrax Pro XR tonneau cover mounted to a 2020 Ford Ranger. My intention is to use this rack for a rooftop tent and for more options to haul things above the rack. I considered the Yakima Outpost system, but chose the Rhino-Rack due to the lower height and much lower cost. I also liked the option to easily remove the bars when not in use.

Installation would have been very easy except that one of the Retrax track slots seemed to be a little smaller than the other. The square mounting plates that slide into the track slot would only go so far before getting stuck. I ended up having to use a Dremmel tool to grind down the edges of the mounting plates to get them to fit into the track.

When opening the Retrax cover, I found the handle will not clear the bottom of the rack when fully open - had to push it down a little to clear the rack. No big deal, just be aware.

Overall very pleased with the rack. It looks good, easy to remove when I don't need it, and should suit my needs.

Works very well with my Retrax bed cove r!

Just completed my installation of the Rhino Rack on my 2018 Chevy Colorado. I have been researching for a railing system for a about a year and decided to go with
etrailer.. I have purchased a couple of items prior and was very pleased.

I called Crystal who was very knowledgeable with the product and decided to move forward with my purchase.

Thank you for help

Got those installed and they look good

This rhino rack definitely looked repackaged from what I’m to only guess was a careless return. I haven’t even used the product and during install it was apparent from the visable scratches and missing “vortex rubber strips.” I hope etrailer can make right by this shortcoming.

I sincerely apologize that the roof rack bars arrived scratched and that the strips are missing. I will send this information to our shipping department and have our customer service team reach out to you.

Love the Rhino Rack Crossbars! Easy to install and remove. Thank you again Etrailer!



by:

Great product and great support by etrailer. I use the Rhino-Rack crossbar system with a Rockymounts bike mount on my 2021 Ford Ranger. Rock solid and it looks very nice



by:

You guys did greats getting it to me. Couple of things are the mounting hardware got rusted out just after a few days. So I have to remove rack and hardware when not in use (can’t just cap the feet) or else it rust more and leaves rust stains on my track system. Other then that racks them selves work great.



by:

When I upgraded my pickup and added a Retrax tonneau cover I needed to change out my rack system for hauling bicycles and kayaks. The Rhino Rack system was noticeably cheaper than anything Yakima had so I gave it a try. It attaches easily and looks like it will work well.



by:

Reliable, well made, has held up well in AZ and now in CO. I don’t leave them on the truck every day, they live in the garage until they are needed. When we moved I carried three bikes on them from Arizona to Colorado without an issue. Quiet, no rattle, easy to assemble and secure.



by:

Love the crossbars. Super easy to install and work great.



by:

There was no instructions in the box but nothing a few [online] videos couldn't solve. I am happy with the product, but not happy with the way it was shipped.



by:

Staff was friendly, informative. They got my order delivered on time. Will definitely consider etrailer for all my truck needs!

  • Recommended Truck Bed Ladder Rack For A 2019 Ford F-150 With A Weather Tech Tonneau Cover
    When it comes to installing a ladder rack on your 2019 Ford F-150 5-1/2 foot bed with a weather tech tonneau cover I would recommend The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack - 1,250 pounds # TH43002XT-508. I did some research and it looks like the Weather Tech tonneau cover mounts inside the bed rails, so the rack above will mount on top of the truck bed rails. The TracRac provides the ultimate in versatility with this sliding ladder rack. Rack adjusts along the length of your...

  • Mid Level Ladder Rack that Fits 2022 Ford F-150 5.5 Bed with RetraxPRO XR Tonneau Cover
    Since the RetraxPRO XR part # RTX47SR for your 2022 Ford F-150 5-1/2 ft bed has the accessory T-slots the best option for a a mid level ladder rack would be the Yakima Outpost HD Overland part # Y01152-5855 which comes with adapters to fit the tracks of your tonneau. The upright height of this would be 13 inches above the bed rails of your truck. Or we have options that are just a few inches above the bed rails: For 71" crossbars you will want the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for Tracks On Fiberglass Camper Shell
    The Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 is what I recommend using to utilize the tracks on top of your fiberglass camper shell.

That said, they don't really offer just the t-bolts since they will be included with said accessory.

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Carrier for an ARE Camper Shell
    If the ARE Camper Shell already has a set of tracks installed then you can use the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 along with two sets of the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier part # S512 in order to carry up to two kayaks. This system will be quiet due to the aero shaped crossbars and easy to load due to the j-style cradles that don't require you to use as much of your arms to get the kayaks into position.

  • How To Use Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack With Retrax XR Series Tonneau Cover
    I do have an option to use the Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack over the top of a Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Cover but you'd have to use crossbars. In order to do this you'll need part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 and the part # RR42115BF which is the largest size available for this application.

  • Is Weight Capacity of Rhino-Rack Crossbars for Retrax XR Tonneau Cover Per Bar or Total
    Good question, and the answer is that the weight capacity is the total capacity. So the capacity of the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 is 220 lbs maximum across both bars (think of it as 110 lbs per bar). These are 71 inch bars and there are also 65 inch bars with the same capacity, which are part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600. I have added a link to a video review and the instructions for you to check out as well.

  • 65 inch Aero Crossbars that Can fit Retrax XR Pro Tonneau with Rail Kit
    The longest Thule Wingbars are 60 inches which you said would be too short so your best option would be to go with the Rhino Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 that you referenced which comes with 65 inch aero bars and feet that fit directly to your Retrax XR Pro Bed Cover with rails.

  • Rhino-Rack Crossbar System for Retrax XR Tonneau Cover Channels
    What you can do is simply piece together the system (without the rails) using the Quick Mount Legs # RRRLT600 and a set of Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars, such as the the 54" # RRVA137B-2 that come included with the system you were looking at, although I think these will be a bit too short to span the width of your Tundra's bed. We actually do have Retrax-specific kits available for longer crossbars, which is what I recommend instead. For 65" Vortex Crossbars you can use part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600...
