Hello again, friends. Steven here with etrailer.com. Today, we're taking a look at this custom fit kit that's gonna adapt to 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 series roof rack legs on your naked roof. Now I've put a picture up here on the screen of what those 2500 series roof rack legs look like. Those are sold separately and again, these work with that particular kit. Now this kit is custom.
Always check our etrailer fit guide, etrailer.com, check our fit guide, put in your year, make, and model. Make sure these fit your particular vehicle. As of right now, these are made to fit the Ford F-250, 350, 450 four-door crew cabs from the years 2017 to current. Now again, always check our fit guide as that could change. Now we're taking a close look at this particular kit again.
The part number's on your screen, but it's DK498. You're gonna get four lovely rubber pads here. They are very, very flexible. They're gonna fit the contour of your vehicle roof line very, very nicely. You're also gonna get four of these metal legs clamps.
They're gonna fit the roof of your vehicle specifically. It's got nice padding on there to protect your roof line from scratches, abrasions, that kinda thing. Again, they are powder coated, rust-resistant. It's gonna be a very easy install and you're not gonna have any problems whatsoever as long as you follow the provided instructions that come with it. They do have a lifetime warranty limited.
All you gotta do is call the manufacturer or contact us if you ever have an issue in the future and we can certainly get you taken care of. Now that's gonna do it for our look at these Rhino-Rack custom fit kit that do attach to a Rhino-Rack 2500 series roof rack leg kit. I'm Steven with etrailer.com. Thank you so much.

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.Fit and finish of the Rhino Rack rails and the Yakima NX 16 Skybox are, to me, a perfect compliment to my '17 F-350 Superduty. Very pleased with the ease of installation.
The kit and rack are simple but more time consuming than I expected. Good solid rack though. Highly recommend. FYI, it howls quite a bit at speeds above 35mph or so.
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.
Ok… giving this item four stars as an overall view. The good: it fits a Jeep Wrangler perfectly. With the appropriate legs, it canvases across the entire roof of the Jeep with the legs attaching to the gutters. The bad: just a bit too noisy for my liking, even with the appropriate wind faring (I don’t expect absolute silence since I have a one touch sky top). The noise is not a big deal on short trips, but it was definitely driving my wife and kids nuts on a 2+ hour drive (stick some headphones on the kids, problem fixed)
In the future, I might switch it up from these square rails and go with something a bit more aerodynamic…
Had the rack on the truck for a year
No issues bat all
Holds the bikes great, never bhad an issue with the bikes up on top
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.
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.
Great product sturdy bars. Keep in mind anything you install on the bars needs to have longer bolts because of how big the bars are but that's a minor detail
Perfect fit and stands up well in offroad use.
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!
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!
I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
I decided on the 65” instead of the recommended 59” for my 2018 F250 Crew. Before I did I called etrailer to confirm that the crossbar would be ok using the custom DK Fit and Rhino Rack 2500 series legs. The guy confirmed and I placed the order. Everything does fit and quality is great but all I received was measurements using the 59” bar. Something is different between these two bars and etrailer couldn’t help me out.
I figured it out myself and determined the bracket distance on the bar so it fit properly.
Rhino Rack should offer the proper bracket measurements for all 3 Areo Crossbars ( 59, 65 and 72 ) as they pertain to Ford F-250 “17” and up. They all fit - as bracket is in the same spot on the truck.
Great quality solid rack. I’d give 5 star if it wasn’t for this
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!!!
Everyone keeps telling me these don't fit my 2020 F250 ford. They fit perfect and were very easy to install with the supplied instructions.
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!
I used the crossbar on the front of my UTV rollbar to hold a LED light and two sun visors. It worked perfectly. I used rollbar clamps made to fit the rollbar to hold the crossbar in place.
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.
There was a small delay in shipping but I was contacted quickly by phone with a follow up email. Everything arrived sooner than I expected. The Rhino roof racks mounted easily and look good. Excellent customer service.
Great product and fast shipping.
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
Great quality
