Today on our 2006 Ford F150 we'll be test fitting the Rhino Rack Vortex Roof Rack System using part numbers RRVA150B-2, RRRLKVA, and DK150. We'll begin our test fit by placing the front crossbar onto the front of our roof. We'll then need to measure two hundred and eighty millimeters from the center of the door jamb to the center of our foot pack. We'll need to make this measurement on both the passenger and driver's side of the vehicle to ensure the front crossbar is perpendicular to the roof and the pads contour to the roof line correctly. With the bar in position we then need to pull back some of the weather stripping to insert the clip in between the weather stripping and the seam of our door. Once this is done we'll use the included tightening tool to tighten down the black bolt, tightening down each side a little bit at a time, just to make sure the bar stays centered. Once everything is all tightened down and secure we can place our rear bar onto the rear of our roof and measure the crossbar spread.
Now the crossbar spread is the measurement from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar. It's also important when choosing roof rack accessories. The crossbar spread is five hundred and twenty millimeters. We need to make this measurement on both the passenger and driver's side of the vehicle to ensure that both bars are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the roof of our Ford. Again, using the included tool to tighten down the black bolt.
Once everything is all tightened down and secured we can go ahead and install the locking covers. With everything all tightened down and secured and our covers locked that will complete today's test fit for the Rhino Rack Vortex Roof Rack System using part numbers RRVA150B-2, RRRLKVA, and DK150 on our 2006 Ford F150. .

These heavy-duty, aluminum crossbars work with Rhino-Rack legs to create a sturdy roof rack. The square bars include built-in C-channels for mounting Rhino-Rack heavy-duty, contractor-grade accessories.Works great for carrying my kayak. Installation was pretty easy too
Absolutely love the Rhino Rack. Easy to install (watch the [online] video). Looks GREAT. Hauls my kayaks no problem. Very well made and I highly recommend this product.
The rack fit well and was easy to install. Seems to be made well. The problem is the amount of road noise. I never even put the basket on. It was so loud, it roared. I repositioned it several times but the noise was way too much and I finally just removed it. I spent a lot of money for the rack and the basket and now they are in storage. I wish it would have worked out better because I thought it looked really good.
Great company to do business second purchase in the last month and couldn’t be happier with how they treated me even followed up with a call to see how I made out. I wish every company would treat the customer as good as ETRAILER.
This rack works perfectly on my Nissan Versa for carrying my two Perception Sound 9'6" kayaks. The Rhino-Racks look good to me. The kayaks can rest directly on the rubber pads on the rails, unlike the Yakama racks I had in the past that had bare pipe rails. Also, I expect I can buy parts to adapt this product to a different car without having to buy new towers. I am sorry there are not hooks or loops to attach bungees when carrying lumber. They are noisy in the wind, but less so when carrying the kayaks.
Ordered a Rhino Rack for my 2014 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali. Rack arrived in very good shape and all items were there. Installing at this time and see no problems ahead.
Easy to assemble. Still need to install on truck but appears to be exactly what we need to carry our kayak.
Thanks to Etrailer, I am ready to do some serious summer exploring with my 2013 Mazda 3! Rhino Racks, Malone top box, and Kuat bike rack!
This fit kit perfectly fits my 2013 Ford F-150 FX4 with sunroof. This kit secures my Rhino Rack 2500 series rack legs to the door frames. My doors open and close normally, with no damage to either door or body paint.
Good quality and locks are included. The plastic lock covers are flimsy but they will keep an honest person honest.
Thank you for the very speedy customer service! My roof rack is already here!
The clamps didn’t fit my 2013 F150 perfectly. They needed to be bent to fit reasonably well. I get more wind noise in the truck with them on.
I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
Great product everything fit perfectly. With the heavy duty bars almost all the hardware for anything you put on the rack is too short
I was in a roof rack jam. There was a national shortage of the rack I needed for my car and our summer vacation was a week away. I went to etrailer.com when I couldnt find the roof rack anywhere else on the web. Another website actually suggested that they might have what I needed.
I spoke to Ashley E on the phone to make sure that I was picking the right parts. Ashley was very helpful and knowledgable. She helped me find the right roof rack and made sure that I received it in record time. I am a customer for life!!!
The product and service provided by etrailer were both excellent. I ordered the 2500 Vortex kit complete and the ordered the Rhino-Rack S606 Vortex Underbar Retainer (anchor spot) I think is a necessity. Mounted on 2009 F150 Super Crew.
Very happy customer
This kit is easy to slap on and sturdy enough to balance my skis and snowboards. I recently used the Rhino Rack on a three hour drive to a ski resort and had no issues.
This rack worked out great... I installed in on a 2017 Ford F-150. We drove 6 hrs through wind and rain with a SUP and Tandem Kayak on top. It really took a beating in a storm the whole way. One bracket was a little loose and shifted because of the wind on the Kayak, but it held together. Super happy with Rhino rack!
The Rhino Rack 2500 was a bit of a challenge to assemble and mount on my F150. But it is a beauty - rugged and well made. I also bought the Thule Hullavator kayak assist rack and was able to fit it onto the Rhino cross bars with minimal trouble. I feel great about the rack system, and appreciate the help from etrailer's team.
This is my second Rhino-Rack. They go on very easily and hold the bikes/kayaks and even an extension ladder very well....thanks for a great product
My order arrived sooner than I expected, which was great. The assembly was easy. The installation was trial and error as the crossbar instructions did not list my 2014 F-150 so I had to make some adjustments to the leg position for the racks to sit right. There were only three rubber buffer strips for each 59 inch bar which left gaps in the top which produce a whistle even at low speeds. The whistle is very ennying as I can here it even with the windows rooled up.
I don't normally write reviews but this one was asked for by Carol via email notifying me that my rack had just been delivered. I also received emails when my package was ordered and again when shipped. It was nice to have expectations met in these times. The rhino rack was exceptional quality and installed fairly easily. Will definitely be back whith future trailer needs. Thanks etrailer!
These all fit well. Have not put anything on the rack yet but the clips and pads fit my F-150 roof well. The pads have a step down that fit into the small gutter on the side above the door. Only comment is that the roof line is curved where the pads go so they are not perfect.
Excellent customer service. First set of crossbars was delivered to the wrong address and a second set was mailed out to us arriving in a week.
