What's going on, everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at this really cool track system. It is the Rhino-Rack RT-Style roof rack track system. Some vehicles, we don't have the option to put a roof rack on the roof. Kind of like our Odyssey, we have here. Usually it's because of sliding doors, but there are some other instances, where we aren't gonna be able to put a roof rack on here.
But with these rails, it's going to allow us to do that. We can do a two-bar setup, to get a lot of accessories on our roof. With the Rhino-Rack kit, we have two different cross bars to pick from, and two different colors for each. Or we can just go with the arrow cross bars. It's gonna be a little bit quieter up on your roof, a little bit more aerodynamic.
And then, we're gonna have the HD bars as well. So pick whichever ones you think is gonna be best for you. In my opinion, the arrow bars are typically the ones that are gonna work with most of your accessories. On the one side, we're gonna have an open little slot, so we don't have to remove anything, to put in our accessories. And with our towers that we're using, for the arrow bar system, all of your accessories are gonna slide in this little end cap here.
So you don't have to remove anything, which is nice. And it goes all the way along the whole entire track. So you really find out exactly where you wanna put your bars. And it's gonna accept a block that is about 1 inch by 13/16 of an inch. The Rhino-Rack system is awesome, when it comes to taking your towers and your crossbars off.
All you need is your key. You're gonna unlock this, and look at that. All you gotta do is pull these in, pull this out, and we're gonna have a little end cap here. If you wanted to take these off, all you have to do is just take the little tool, loosen it, and slide it all the way off. But I do not mind having these on here, cause it's gonna be a lot quicker than your other option, which is Thule. The Thule ones, the towers are gonna take a little bit longer to take off, but they won't leave this little bottom section. So that's kind of all up to you. I like having these here, just because it makes for adjusting the whole entire roof rack a lot quicker. And also, I just don't mind the look. I think it kind of looks cool. So, if I we're to go with one of the two kits, you have an option for, whether it's a Thule or the Rhino-Rack, I would definitely go with the Rhino-Rack. So if we wanted to go back to the bare track system, it would just loosen it up, and then you can just go ahead and slide it out and we're done. So, I think that's also gonna be quicker, than the Thule option, which is why I really like the Rhino-Rack. Of your two options, both the Thule and the Rhino-Rack, the track system is gonna be a flat black. Which I think that's the best looking, in my opinion. I don't know if it's just because of our white car, but it does look really, really good. And that's pretty much it, for a look at the Rhino-Rack RT-Style roof rack track system..

Installation was easy and I haven't had any issues. I had originally ordered a wrong part, but the person I spoke with at etrailer made it very easy to correct this and get the parts I needed. The next time I need something from my truck, I'll be checking here first.
These are the perfect racks for a low profile mounting of solar panels on my Sprinter van.
This works great. Very strong and reliable. Holds my ladders with ease. I’ve had it loaded down and done 80mph on the highway no problem.
I purchased this because I needed 11" brackets and I only needed two to add to my existing setup. Other manufacturers (I could only find one) only sold packs of four at a ridiculously high price. My Rhino Rack mounts and bar arrived within a few days of my order and appear very sturdy and well made. I bought them to add a third support for an awning and a solar shower on the roof of my van. I think I found the perfect solution.
Love the roof rack! Works great for ka yaks!
Perfect product for my aero bars and great customer service getting it to me ASAP before a big trip -
Needed to lower my heavy duty Rhino Rack Did the job quickly and easily . Would have given 5 stars but seams a little less solid than original feet .
Desi was awesome in helping us build the perfect mount for our roof top tent set up.
Customer Service was awesome....and super fast.
Strong, good appearance and functional.
I got my racks in a timely manner and had them installed on my Van in less than two hours. The instructions were a bit confusing (Didn't really match what was in the box) but I was able to figure out what to do. I have a THOR RIZE G18 camper van that is built on a 2023 Dodge RAM Promaster 1500. The brackets fit the mounting points on the roof. Since it is 9 feet to the roof (You can't walk on this roof) it took a while to move around to the four locations to place the towers. The awning also prevented sliding the bars side to side, so I had to put the towers onto the bar on that side before attaching them to the base. The racks look good and are firmly mounted to the van. Now I have to figure out how to attach my kayaks. (There is an air conditioner in the center and a solar panel also) I plan a two-month trip in June, so I will see how the racks work.
Nice rack system, strong and durable. Used on a Ford e350 to mount solar panels. Only draw back, one of the L brackets that goes under the rain gutter was not bent square enough and this caused the bracket to slide off when tightened. I had to adjust this with a clamp and hammer, no issues since.
I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
I was building a rack for the skin on frame sailboat I built. I needed a crossbar on the top of my truck but the tracks were longer than I needed. I ended up cutting one of the tracks in half and redrilling the holes for the end caps on the cut ends. It was a little difficult to bend the track along the curved profile of my 2019 Ram Classic roof and get the holes where I needed. It says not to use a pop riveter but I didn't have a pneumatic one and have very good grip strength. I needed every bit of my grip strength in both hands to make it work but it did, in fact work. I used tape to cover the track around the rivets and prevent scratches because when the rivets pop, it's a little out of control. Overall it turned out well. I ended up machining a custom crossbar and T nuts due to having a machine shop on my garage.
etrailer was good to work with, however this product was very difficult to install on my 2016 Ford Transit T250 Midroof.
The instructions were very confusing when using with PIONEER PLATFORM (107" X 58") UNASSEMBLED
Part No: 52105F. For example the mounts have no access to
tighten to the van once you put the cross bars on. But you need
To have the cross bars and frame installed fro they needed to be removed. They need to make this more clear on their instructions.
Be prepared to take at least 6 -8 hours of time to do this if you have never done it before.
Very sturdy. Used to mount Heavy Duty Rhino-Rack Crossbars to a RAM Promaster High Roof van.
I’ve had this rhino rack for over 3 years and it’s been excellent on long road trips to the ski slopes. A year after my purchase, I realized that I was missing the plastic coverings that attached to the end of the bars and called their customer service to resolve the missing pieces. I was impressed with their quick response and seamless delivery.
