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.

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.

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.

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
by: Jarod07/02/2022
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.
by: Josh 10/05/2022
Love the Rhino Rack Crossbars! Easy to install and remove. Thank you again Etrailer!
by: Robert 07/09/2022
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: Nate10/08/2020
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: Richard 09/06/2020
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: Bryan 06/24/2022
Love the crossbars. Super easy to install and work great.
by: Adam K09/13/2021
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: Terry05/27/2021
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: Aaron09/26/2020
Staff was friendly, informative. They got my order delivered on time. Will definitely consider etrailer for all my truck needs!

- Recommended Roof Rack for Tracks On Fiberglass Camper ShellThe Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 is what I recommend using to utilize the tracks on top of your fiberglass camper shell. This system is all inclusive, cost effective, and provides the aero style crossbars which produce the least amount of noise and work with the widest variety of rooftop mounted accessories.

view full answer... - Crossbar System Compatible with OEM Ford Retractable Tonneau Cover T-Slots on 2019 F-150 RaptorI was able to confirm through my contact at Retrax that the T-channels on your 2019 Ford Raptor OEM tonneau Cover, model number VJL3Z84501A42A, share the same dimensions as the T-channels on the RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover w/ Trax Rails # RTT-80373, confirmed to fit the same truck. This is true because Retrax helps to manufacture some of the components for the Ford tonneau covers. With that in mind, the correct Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for your F-150 is # RRVA180B-RRRLT600,...

- Which Retrax XR Rhino Rack for 2021 GMC Sierra 2500For full size trucks it's recommended to use the longer 71 inch Rhino Rack rack for Retrax XR Tonneaus # RRVA180B-RRRLT600. The shorter length was made for smaller trucks like the GMC Canyon.
view full answer... - Crossbar Solution for 2018 GMC Canyon with Retrax Pro Tonneau CoverSince your GMC Canyon has the Retrax PRO tonneau cover with the track system you'd want the Rhino Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 which has 65 inch crossbars instead of the part number you referenced which as longer bars and was made with a full size truck in mind. Then you could mount a roof bike rack on these bars like the RockyMounts BrassKnuckles part # RKY1201 and for the kayak and SUP you could use a LockRack...
view full answer... - Will the Thule FreeRide TH532 Work with Rhino-Rack Vortex CrossbarsYes, you can use the Thule FreeRide Rooftop Bike Carrier TH532 on the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System. I have attached a photo which shows the dimensions of the channel inside the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for you. This channel as you can see measures 7/8" wide which is about 22mm therefore you won't have any issues with the Thule FreeRide. I spoke to my contact at Rhino-Rack and they said since the tracks are spaced 58" apart on center you will want to use the Rhino-Rack Vortex...

- Correct Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series Tonneau CoverI have an alternate option for you. But no, the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Thule and Yakima Tracks # Y01-120B-NT would not work with a Retrax cover with the t-slot system. If your Retrax XR Series Tonneau Cover is on a compact or mid-size truck, you will want to use the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series Tonneau Covers # RRVA165B-RRRLT600. If your Retrax XR Series Tonneau Cover is on a full size truck, you will want to use the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax...
view full answer... - What Crossbars Work with the Retrax XR Rails on My 2018 Toyota Tacoma?Yes, if you have the older Thule non-slotted Thule load bars (square bars), they will work with the Inno Feet # INXP. As far as the a solution from Inno that will work with your Retrax XR rails like the ones on the RetraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover # RTT-60851, Inno unfortunately does not have any feet or fit kit that works with Retrax XR rails. Please note that this particular cover only works with a 5-foot bed on a 2018 Toyota Tacoma. If you have a different year/make/model/bed size of...
view full answer... - Which T-Bolts Need To Be Used with the Retrax XR Hard Tonneau CoversIn regards to the Retrax XR Hard Tonneau Covers like part # RTT-60335, they accept track mounted accessories from all major brands such as Thule, Yakima, and Rhino-Rack. That said, they don't really offer just the t-bolts since they will be included with said accessory. The Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 for example which is what I recommend will come wit the correct t-bolts to use within the tracks on...
view full answer... - What Low-Profile Crossbars do You Recommend for the RetraxONE XR on My 2022 Toyota Tundra Short Bed?From the sounds of your question, you are looking for a crossbar system compatible with the side Trax rails on a RetraxONE XR Tonneau Cover for your 2022 Toyota Tundra. If this is what you are looking for, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 (65" long) or the # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 (71" long). This is the lowest-profile crossbars we carry with the top of the crossbar a short 4-3/16" over your truck's...
view full answer... - What Is the Correct Rhino-Rack System For a Toyota Tacoma with Retrax XR Series Tonneau CoverThe correct Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers that you will want to use on a mid-size truck like your Toyota Tacoma is part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 which has 65" long crossbars. The part # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 which has 71" long crossbars will be used on full-size trucks like a Toyota Tundra.
view full answer... - Can 59 Inch Rhino-Rack Vortex Bars be Used for Retrax Cover on 2018 Toyota TacomaThe Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Factory Tracks Kit # Y02-490B-NT will use the 59" Vortex crossbars and RLT600 leg kit which is the same as the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 with the 65" crossbars. As long as the T-Slot on the XR rails for your 2018 Toyota Tacoma are under that 59" measurement you should be just fine.
view full answer... - Recommended Heavy Bike Rack for 2019 Toyota Tundra with Rails Over Truck Bed Tonneau CoverIf you have rails mounted on top of the bed sides of your 2019 Toyota Tundra then I recommend picking up the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Tonneau Covers # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 for a rack system. Then for a bike rack the best option we have for your heavy bikes is the Inno Tire Hold II Roof Bike Rack # INA389 because it has a 50 lb weight capacity. You'll need to remove 2 more lbs of equipment from your bike (like a basket or the controller if you can) to stay within the weight rating of...
view full answer... - Will Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars Work with Roll-N-Lock Tonneau CoversYes, the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax XR and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers are compatible with a Roll-N-Lock Tonneau Cover that have the MaxTrak System. The tracks are the same as the ones on other tonneau covers so there will be no compatibility issues. Please note, if you have a mid side truck like a Canyon you'll need part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 or if you have a full size truck like a Sierra you'll need part # RRVA180B-RRRLT600.
view full answer... - Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series Tonneau Cover on 2019 Toyota TundraThe RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover that fits the 2019 Toyota Tundra 5-1/2-foot bed with the deck rail system is part # RTT-80841 and this cover can be fitted with 65-inch Rhino-Rack crossbars. Order # RRVA165B-RRRLT600. Install instructions are linked for you.
view full answer... - Crossbar Recommendation for my Retrax XR Tonneau Cover on a 2017 Toyota TacomaThere are two great options: the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers - Black - 65" Long # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 and the 71" # RRVA180B-RRRLT600. Both of these racks attach right to the tracks on your cover and are super low profile. Once installed you can use many of the available roof mounted bike racks available like the Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier part # Y02103.
view full answer... - Does RetraxONE XR Tonneau Cover Have Capacity for Truck Bed Ladder RackIf by RTT you mean a roof top tent the RetraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover w/ Trax Rails # RTT-60851 would easily be able to support that. Then for a roof rack setup that fits the rails of the cover and your Rhino Rack Aero Bars you'd want the # RRRLT600 and you'd be set. There isn't a taller option from Rhino Rack but you could use the taller Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack # Y01151-58.
view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation to Fit Pace Edwards UltraGroove on a 2024 Ford F-250 Super DutyI recommend pairing the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar Kit # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 with the Pace Edwards UltraGroove # PE36QJ on your 2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty. This gives you a simple crossbar system rated for 220 lbs that mounts a few inches above your tonneau cover so you can carry more cargo without it sitting up higher above your truck bed.
view full answer... - What is Size of Canister of RetraxONE XR part # RTT-60852I spoke with my contact at Retrax and he told me that the canister of the RetraxONE XR part # RTT-60852 is 13-3/4 inches horizontally and then 11.687 inches tall. This does not come with the crossbars you see mounted into the rails of the cover. We have kits specifically designed for this like the Rhino Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers # RRVA165B-RRRLT600.

The 65" long crossbar in the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series Tonneau Covers part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 is designed for mid-size trucks like a Tacoma, Ranger,...

- Recommended Low Profile Rack for TS Rails for TruXedo Elevate Rack System on Ford RangerThe Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar Kit part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 will work with the TS Rails for TruXedo Elevate Rack System and it has the low profile design you're after, sticking up around 4-1/2" from the rails. The crossbars are a standard size so they work with pretty much all rooftop mounted accessories and they are aero shaped which provides the least amount of wind resistance/noise.
view full answer... - Rhino-Rack Crossbar System for Retrax XR Tonneau Cover ChannelsWhat 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...

- What Parts Do I Need to Add Crossbars do My RetraxPRO MX Tonneau on My 2020 Ram 2500?From the sounds of your question, I believe you mean you are looking for crossbars that are compatible with your rails on the RetraxPRO MX Hard Tonneau Cover # RT80235 (with RamBox) or # RT80232 (without RamBox) on your 2020 Ram 2500. Since the RetraxPRO MX does not come with t-slots, you need to first add the Replacement Side Rails for RetraxONE XR or RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover with Trax Rails # RTT-82381 before installing slotted accessories (if you do not have the t-slots already).
