Speaker 1: Today on our 2016 Ram 1500, we're going to be taking a look at the Inno Aero flush roof rack system. This consists of three main parts. Our aero bars are going to be part number INXB130-2. That's going to be two bars that come in a 51 inch length. We're also going to have the flush feet for our Inno system. That's INXS200.
And also the custom fit kit, which is going to be INK653. Now the nice thing about this rack, in addition to its aerodynamic shape, is that it's going to be a flush system. So the bars are going to end right here at our cap. There's going to be no overhang, nothing to worry about hitting your head as you're coming out of your vehicle or anything like that.The black color is going to match our black truck, as we have in this case. So that's one nice thing that you don't have to have silver bars that don't match all your stuff, and this is going to be an aerodynamic bar or an aero blade.
So what that means is that it's going to have an aerodynamic shape to reduce wind noise and drag. It's kind of similar to an airplane wing, so it's just going to cut through the air a lot smoother than the traditional round or square bars. So that means that you don't have to use a fairing if you don't want to reduce that wind noise.It also comes with locks, so you don't have to pick that up extra, and two keys. So if we open our cover here, you can take a closer look at our foot, and our fit kit. The foot is made of a heavy duty black plastic.
So again it's going to resist fading. And our bar itself is made of an extruded aluminum, so it's going to be lightweight but durable, it also has a glass blasted powder coat finish. So it's going to reduce scratches and scuffs.And if you look up top here, we're going to have a T-track. Now, unlike a lot of systems that they have a rubber strip in there that you have to take out, cut to length, and then replace. This just has a push down style.
So if you push in, it'll go down, and you can slide in any of your T-track accessories. That makes it a lot more simple for those T-tracks accessories because again, it's just going to take up the gap that's in there without you having to cut anything to length and replace it afterward.Our fit kit consists of this clamp and the rubber pad underneath. The clamp is a steel construction with a rubber coating on it. So it's going to protect your truck from any scratches again. And the rubber foot is just going to give a nice sturdy hold and it's going to fit pretty well with the contour of our truck. There is a little bit of a gap, but that's intended to be there. So now that we've had a look at our front bar, let's put our rear bar together. Lock this back up.We can take a look at how this goes on. So here I have my rear bar roughly assembled with one pack on the end there. Now let's do the right side here. So these are labeled as to left and right. Here you see the embossed M or N, excuse me, R for right side. And we're going to grab the rubber foot, and this is just going to match up with the bolt head on the bottom of our foot. So you can press it into place. Now you do want to pay attention to what number is on there. A lot of times for different vehicles, they'll be a couple of different sizes, or a couple of different shapes of the pads and clamps. In the case of our Ram 1500, they're all the same. So no worries there, but just something to note, if you pick up another rack.Now we're going to take out the screw on the end there. You want to make sure that the washers come with it and then we can grab our clamp. Again, there will be a number on there. Just make sure you have the right one and we can put that bolt in place. Really this kind of loose for now, and now we can get this in place. But first, we need to get our bar ready. Now there's a little plastic channel here, we're going to slide that all the way out to the end. Grab our little nut plate and put that in place. There's a little notch in the end that's going to match the notch in that little window that comes out. Just want to make sure you have the silver side up.Then we can slide that into place until it stops. Press down on that little square button and keep sliding it into the bar. That's going to get our plate in the right position. And now we can slide the two sort of tabs here into the notches on that plate. Slide it out to the end. And now we'll want to grab a tape measure to make sure that we have this in the right place. I'm actually going to use this one so I can use the millimeters. It does have inches and millimeter measurements in there, so whichever one you feel more comfortable using, you can use those.We'll get this measured out. And you'll want to do this on both sides. I have my foot on the left side there already measured out. Just to make it a little easier. Okay, and now with that in place we can tighten it down. So you want to take the bigger Allen key and tighten down the bolt here just until it's pretty snug. You still want there to be a little bit of movement side to side. So it's a little too tight. Because it does allow us to adjust for the contour of our roof.So now with that all in place, we can get this on our roof. Before we do that, we want to open both doors, in the rear of our truck. And now we can put on our rear bar. Another thing you want to make sure to check before you put this on is that you have it facing in the right direction. And you want to make sure your clamp isn't jammed up. So again these are labeled with left and right. And once I get this in the right position here, there we go, because you can see on the end there, that little embossed R's, we want to make sure that we have that on the passenger side. And the round edge our bar should be facing towards the front.So that's not required, but it always makes it easier to have a second set of hands on the other side to get that far in place, so you don't scratch up your truck. Again, everything is rubber coated so it should be fine, but you don't want to cause any damage if you can avoid it. So I'm just going to hop up here and make sure I have this right. Again, there's going to be a little bit of a gap between that rubber pad and the roof right here. So get that adjusted. And you want that clamp to fall over the edge of the doorframe. Let's do the same thing on the other side. So this side needs to go over a little bit more. There.Now we can start tightening up our clamps. And you want to make sure you go from one side to the other, get it evenly tightened down. You don't want to pulling too much to one side or the other. Before you get it really tight though, you'll want to make sure that you have the right crossbar spread. So we're going to go from the center of the door jamb to the center of the bolts. We'll do that on the other side as well. This just ensures that you have it parallel, sitting in the correct spot, so it's nice and secure. Double check on this side and make sure we have it right.And here's where that adjustment of the foot side to side is going to come in handy, because you want to make sure that it's going in line with the vehicle. so if it's not sitting quite straight, you can adjust that side to side. And again, we're just going to tighten that down. And we're going to grab that smaller Allen key with the black handle, and that's also going to be a torque wrench so you can take that out, put the wrench in the middle, then tighten it down. Whenever it's tight enough, there's going to be an audible click. So you'll know you have it tight. Get on the other side.And whenever you're loading up your roof rack and get everything tightened down, you definitely want to double check your owner's manual on your Ram. There's typically a weight rating and you don't want to exceed that. So just make sure that any of your accessories aren't going to be too much for your vehicle's capacity. There's that audible click, so I'll close the door on this side and finish tightening on the passenger side. There it goes.Alright, now we can put our clamps in place, or our covers in place. And again these are labeled so you know which side goes where. Those are for right. Put that in, lock it up. That's a really nice integrated feature. You don't have to pick up anything extra to get these secure. Already comes with the locks.Before we go, I'm going to give you one last measurement, so you can know what kind of room you have here with your new roof rack. So if we go from the top of the roof to the bottom side of the bar it's about 1-1/2, 1-3/4 of an inch. From the top of the roof to the top of the bar. It's about 2-3/4. So it'll give you an idea of how much space you have for any ski bindings or anything like that, or any accessories that need to secure underneath and also how much space you've added to the top of your roof. So now that everything's tightened down, that's going to do it for our look at the Inno Aero flush roof rack system on our 2016 Ram 1500.

Low-profile, aerodynamic crossbars create an aftermarket roof rack for your vehicle. Aluminum bars have T-slots that let you mount channel-mounted carriers and accessories. Flexible rubber strips in T-slots keep out dirt and won't need trimming.Waste of money. Most annoying couple hours spent in a long time. Extremely disappointed. Does not fit well. Not exactly a cheap option, but a cheap option in terms of fit and engineering. The instructions online and in the kits do not agree. But there is no helping the design. Plus there are no universal set of instructions--they are all individual items for the fit kit, the bars, etc. But a reasonably inclined person can figure it out so no big deal, but the engineering design is garbage--requires precise measurement yet the design is such that exact measurement is impossible due to the design.
Additionally, the parts are low quality Either low density plastic or easily stripped bolts. Even when as precise as possible, I wouldn't trust it with my kayak. What a mistake. Do yourself a favor and get a Yakima trailer or similar. It isn't that much more money in the scheme of things and then it isn't tied to your car. Can add a hitch to most vehicles anyway.
Racks were perfect for my Acura MDX. They fit like a glove and I have used them several times.
Has worked great for transporting my fishing Kayak as well as small loads of lumber. It has worked fine for about a dozen and a half boards at a time or a couple of sheets of plywood. Just make sure that you have a good way to strap them down as well as maybe a rubber mat to help hold everything in place. The noise from it on the high way can be a lot but certainly not as bad as some that I have heard. I figure that anything on the outside of a vehicle like that will produce some noise.
worked as expected, I used them to carry my hobie outback kayak (about 100lbs) on my Honda Civic 2016 Coupe (2 doors). They worked with no problem so far (1 year) even under high speed like 70mph.
We recently purchased 2 kayaks & Thule roof racks from our local outdoor store.
After waiting 2 weeks for our roof racks and J bars to come in we found that the Thule racks did not fit our 2017 Lincoln MKX and they didn't make any racks that would. The vehicle does not have roof racks and has a moon roof.
After a couple of days searching the internet we discovered etrailer.com. We found the Inno roof racks, but still was not sure they would work. We spoke to a repesenative and he assured us that the racks we chose would fit and the Thule J bars we did return would also work. As you can see by the photos 2 days later we were happy Kayakers.
This kit does not fit well. All measurements have been double and triple checked down to the millimeter. The lock on the covers interfere with the hooks. You have to apply so much pressure to get it to close that it makes the rack come loose. Not very satisfied
I bought these as part of a kit with 60" Aero bars and the appropriate kit for my 14 Flex. I spent probably an hour and a half double checking my measurements and getting them torqued down properly. I spaced the bars on top of the car just a little wider than proscribed because I was planning on carrying 4x8 plywood, and it looked better to my eye. One thing to watch for: The instructions for the car-specific kit (in my case INK263) show the foot spacing measurements for a square bar, and the measuring point for these feet and Aero bars is different. That measurement point is indicated in the instructions for the feet, not the kit. Same numbers, just different reference point. Otherwise, they look good and are rock solid.
Installation was a little tricky but once the "feet" were attached to the roof and the bars properly spaced, everything wrapped up very well.
There is no noticeable wind noise with these installed.
Love these crossbars, they fit my truck perfectly. Love that they lock too. I feel much safer with them on my truck knowing that they lock.
I ordered these Inno Rack parts from etrailer because they where the only source that stocked them.
The Service was fantastic! Lori was friendly, extremely thorough, helpful and fast.
Definitely worth the 5 Stars in my opinion.
I did a lot of searching before selecting this rack for my Durango RT (no factory roof rails). It is easy to reinstall once the initial process is followed, I marked my doorjambs with a sharpie and it is easy to set up. Great product!
Great racks. High quality parts. Fit perfectly. Went together easily.
These are made perfectly for your vehicle. They are very secure when combined with the other Inno products. No worries of the rack system coming off. Using them to transport kayaks using kayak holders.
These feet are easy to use and go well wit the Inno system. I was worried since my car did not come with any roof racks, but this is the solution to haul things on my roof. They work well and are very secure.
One was extremely hard to get on compared to the others (not sure if it had some rough machining or something), but once all we’re on, all was good
etrailer was the only vendor who had the custom fit roof rack feet I needed for my vehicle. I was trying to put a roof rack onto a Dodge Durango SRT...not a typical vehicle for this accessory! I looked everywhere for a suitable roof rack and thought I was settling by ordering the Inno kit from etrailer. I could not have been more wrong! I am so happy with the purchase!
I have had countless bike racks over the years and this is by far the best system I have ever had. Fits like a glove on my F150. Easy to install, looks great and the bikes do not move when on the roof.
Tule and Yakima did not have a rack for my Nissan murano. So it was a blessing to find the immo rack. It seems like it can fit any car model. It's strong and secure. I feel my equipment will be safe with this rack.
Started assembly last summer and finally completed installation this spring. Directions took a lot of attention to detail but were adequate. Rack went on car securely and looks great. Have attached kayak rack and a roof pod and both worked flawlessly. Would definitely recommend.
I’ve had the system in place for over a year now and haul dual kayaks often! I love it! The only thing I wish I could change is the wind noise that’s comes with it. But I’m sure with any rook rack system you get that.
Once I realized which bar was the front one and which was the back it was a fairly easy install. Since the measurements for the foot placement were wrong in the instructions I would suggest not tightening the feet all the way to the bars until you put it on the car. It would have been nice if both sets of rubber pads were the same, with the tunnel hook, and if they had adhesive backing to avoid losing them. I added 2 sided tape.
Great product, good quality. I had a budget, and this fit the bill.
Ideally, I would love for the crossbars to line up with the rails.
The customer service was A+++ I would order again from etrailer.com any time!
Installation went pretty smoothly. The trick is to fully understand each step before moving to the next. There are a lot of small parts which at first was a little intimidating, but soon I was able to "get with it". I love the finished product and think you helped me get a good deal. Thank you for that
Product is great. Fits perfectly with some minor measurement adjustments. Can be assembled by one person, but helps to have two. Bought the complete roof kit and well as the Inno 80 basket for a Mazda CX3, took about two hours to assemble everything.
Do you have a question about this Roof Rack?
