This low-profile, aerodynamic Vortex Aero crossbar lets you replace a damaged bar, add a third bar to an existing rack, or build a stylish aftermarket roof rack from scratch. The crossbar requires a pair of Rhino-Rack legs (manufactured in 2014 or later) and a custom fit kit to mount it to your roof. This bar extends past the roof rack legs to maximize the space for mounting carriers and accessories. Rubberized Vortex strips in the crossbar's top channel disrupt airflow for a quiet ride, and the bar is constructed of aluminum so it won't rust. The crossbar also includes Secure Core endcaps with plastic locks to help deter theft of channel-mounted accessories.
Aerodynamic Design
The rubberized Vortex strips in the top channel of this crossbar disrupt airflow with evenly spaced, wave-shaped grooves. This carefully controlled turbulence minimizes wind noise and whistling, so you won't need to add a fairing to your roof rack. And the slim, elliptical Vortex Aero crossbar cuts through the air with minimal drag - even at highway speeds.
Strong, Durable Construction
The Vortex Aero crossbar is made of structural-grade anodized aluminum with an H-shaped internal extrusion. This extrusion strengthens the bar without adding a significant amount of weight. And the aluminum bar won't rust so you can leave it on your roof year-round.
No-Hassle Installation
The crossbar has a channel in the bottom for mounting to Rhino-Rack roof rack legs (sold separately). Each end of the channel includes a rubber ruler to help you center the bar on your roof. Simply use the numbers and hash marks on the rulers to ensure the legs are spaced properly in the channel.
Channel-Mounted and Clamp-On Accessories
The Vortex Aero crossbar has a built-in C-channel so you can carry channel-mounted accessories such as bike racks, watersport carriers, and ski racks. The Vortex strip in the top channel comes in 3 pieces, so it's easier to adjust than a single long, continuous strip. You can remove, trim, and re-insert the Vortex strips around the mounting hardware of your accessories to keep the crossbar channel capped and quiet. Replacement strips (sold separately) are also available if you remove your accessories or switch to clamp-on accessories.
You can also attach most clamp-on accessories to the bar, and the Vortex strip provides a shock-absorbing, no-slip cushion for any accessories that rest on it.
Built-In Security
The crossbar includes 2 Secure Core locking endcaps made of durable polypropylene. These endcaps lock with a universal tubular key. The polypropylene locks secure the endcaps to the crossbar and help to secure channel-mounted accessories to the crossbar. For maximum security, you can upgrade to endcaps with all-metal lock cores (RRVA-LEC2 - sold separately).

2012 Ford F-450 Super Duty
We had the challenge of how to carry 2 kayaks this summer in addition to hauling a 30 foot gooseneck horse trailer. We have F450 crew cab with custom truck bed. We hoped to use the "head ache" bar on the truck bed to support the rear sets of Swagman Rincon supports and purchased a single Rhino Vortex bar for the forward sets on top of the cab. We have 10.5 and 12 foot kayaks and this looks to be an excellent solution. The kayaks are clear of the gooseneck trailer even in a "jackknife" position. Please note the truck bed is extra long therefore there is plenty of room forward the nose of the trailer. We have not hauled yet but will convey any issues if there are any. eTrailer tech support was excellent. Product shipped as projected. Installation took approximatly 3 hours.

My setup -
Thule - Super easy to setup. Thule Goalpost Hitch Mounted Load Bar (TH997)
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar (RRVA150B) and associated fit kit - Single set
Solid construction but the directions for the Rhino-Rack components are worthless. Look online to get general idea of installation.

Worked well. Some time to install but worked well for my lightweight canoe.
by: Don06/25/2022
I think it just looks good first of all. I can carry my paddle boards and still use my one touch roof top.
by: The W07/14/2023
Needed a third Vortex bar and Etrailer had the best price. One end of the box was not taped and had come open during shipping. The plastic end got a little scraped up, but not too bad. Luckily none of the parts fell out. I suggest taping both end of boxes before shipping.

Toyota Tacoma
I am very happy with the purchase of my Rhino Rack crossbar for my Toyota Tacoma. I added it because the Yakima Rack on my 5' bed did not hold my kayak in the position I wanted. I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of wind noise after reading numerous complaints of whistling at hwy speeds.
by: Charles10/17/2021
the crossbar itself is fine, I had ordered a single to accompany the two I already have on the vehicle so knew what I was getting.....or at least thought I did. Sadly the rubberized vortex strip was not included with the crossbar, appears everything else is there.

I will have our customer service team reach out to you.

Easy to install. I’m giving it 4 stars because this bar was added above the front driver and passenger door and is noisy driving down the interstate. I’ve gotten use to it but can’t help think there should be a way to make it quieter. I don’t hear anything from the real bars but they are on the topper.
by: Stephen 10/24/2021
The racks are expensive, but are also worth it. I’ve used them mostly for my kayaks, but have also used them for carrying lumber and other home improvement items that won’t fit in my cab or bed.
I had a few issues with the ordering and shipping process, but they all got ironed out eventually.

Matches the two rails ordered previously and allows me to have three cross bars on the spaced out across the roof of my F250 cab and camper cap. With the correct spacing it allows me to transport a 26ft rowing shell centered on the truck minimizing the overhang at both ends of the truck.

Rhino makes some of the best roof racks and accessories. Easy to install and they last.
by: Mark08/22/2021
Quick delivery. Good, easy to understand instructions in assembly. Haven’t yet put the bar to use but the solid construction and attachment to the side of the truck seems to be very good. Will was a great help as I needed only 1 bar for my needs. Thanks

See what our Experts say about this Rhino Rack Roof Rack
- Roof Rack for Camper Shell and Roof of 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500You can then use the Yakima roof rack with landing pad 1 part # Y00221, two of the control towers # Y8890027, and the single crossbar # Y8810025. Then for a single bar rack for the roof of your 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 you'd want the part # RRVA150B, # RRRLKVAH, and # DK427H and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Will the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Factory Tracks Fit on My 2017 Dodge Ram 1500?I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Factory Tracks - 2 Vortex Aero Crossbars - Black - 54" Long # Y02-480B-NT will not fit your bare roof on your 2017 RAM 1500. If you need a a single accessible front crossbar closer to the windshield on your 2017 RAM 1500 crew cab for you bare roof, you will need the following parts: - Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar - Aluminum - Black - 59" Long # RRVA150B - Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Naked...

What you can do is use a specific Rhino-Rack set up to create the next-best thing to a ladder rack. For this you would need to have a 2 inch trailer hitch, which should be on the vehicle already, and the following parts: Bar # RRVA150B Legs # RRRLKVAH Clamp Fit # DK470 Yakima LongArm # Y01149-1150 The fit kit will allow you to place the crossbar on the roof in either the front bar position...

This will work well with your bed extender.

There are advantages to systems in regards to quality and value, and for your application the best fit is from Rhino-Rack, who is known for their quality, which is consistent with other brands, but often not with as high a price tag. What I recommend is: - Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells - Track Mount # Y02-490B This will give you 59 inch crossbars on your camper shell,...
view full answer... - Recommendation For Carrying a Canoe On a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado Towing a 5TH Wheel CamperI recommend installing a Front Receiver # EH57FR on your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. This will allow you to use a Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar # RTL002 on the front of your Silverado. You will be able to install the Single Crossbar # RRVA150B with the Legs # RRRLKVAH and Fit Kit # DK427H giving you a safe place to secure your canoe. The Pads # RRRWP05 will help prevent any damage to your kayak and crossbars when loading and hauling your canoe.
view full answer... - Best Way To Secure Kayak on 2023 Ford F-150There are a number of different ways to haul a kayak on a 2023 Ford F-150. The best and easiest option would be to place them over the bed with a ladder rack like the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # Y01151-58. That said, if you have a tonneau cover, this likely won't work for you. In which case, I recommend securing the kayak over the cab and hitch using a system like the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System with T-Load composed of part # RRVA150B, part # RRRLKVAH,...

I recommend going with the Rhino-Rack Vortex crossbars as a replacement because it gives you a mid-range roof rack system that doesn't break the bank but is also reliable. I'm not sure if you're using a 1-bar or 2-bar system so here are the parts you need for either configuration: 1-Bar - 59" Vortex Crossbar # RRVA150B - 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVAH -...
view full answer... - Roof Rack and T-Load Bar for Hauling 2 Kayaks on a 2017 Nissan TitanI recommend using a Rhino-Rack set up for your application. This includes the Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA150B-2, the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and the DK Fit Kit # DK468 for the roof rack. Then you need the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar # RTL002 which fits a 2" hitch. The parts above give you a full 2-bar roof rack which can be useful for multiple applications but if you are only wanting a 1-bar roof rack you need parts # RRVA150B, # RRRLKVAH, and # DK468H.
view full answer... - Front Mount Hitch, Upright Bar, and Roof Rack to Carry Kayak with 2016 Ford F-350Since your kayaks are pretty long and you'll be towing a fifth wheel trailer the best option will be a single bar roof rack with an upright hitch mounted T-bar mounted in a front hitch on your 2016 Ford F-350. So for that you'd need the # RRVA150B, # RRRLKVAH, # RTL002, # DK190H for the roof rack and upright and then for a front hitch # 65049 and you'd be set.

view full answer... - Could 59” Rhino Rack Aero Cross Bars Fit on 2017 Ford ExplorerSince the track on the underside of the Rhino Rack crossbars does not run the full length of the bar and it is what the feet of the rack attach to we can't guarantee you'd be able to fit the longer bars on your rack. I can say that when we installed the 54 inch rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRCH4, and # RRRCP45-BK on a similar Explorer we found there was several inches further to the inside that the feet of the rack could attach to so I would be inclined to believe that the longer...

We will be updating our fit information - thanks again for your keen eye. The 49-inch Vortex bar rack we specify - consisting of parts # RRVA126B-2, # RLTP-2 and # RTC12JW - does fit your Wrangler but the 59-inch Vortex bars...
view full answer... - Availability of Single-Bar Roof Rack for 2016 Ram 1500 Crew Cab with Naked RoofWe do offer Rhino-Rack single roof rack bars for your 2016 Ram 1500 crew cab with naked roof. I suggest the black 2500-Series bar made of parts # DK043H, # RRRLKVAH and # RRVA150B. This 59-inch aluminum crossbar is an aero-style that will generate less wind noise than competing bar shapes. If you plan to use the roof bar along with a hitch-mounted load support you can refer to the linked page which displays such products.

Now you might want to consider a different option since you want to a trailer behind the truck. If you used a front hitch like the part # 31198 which is a confirmed fit, a single bar roof rack like the Rhino Racks part # RRVA150B, and # RRRLKVAH, and # DK079H, and then the T-Load part # RTL002 you'd be carrying the...
view full answer... - Roof Rack and Upright Mount for Carrying Paddleboards with a 2016 Toyota TundraLooks like you are looking for a roof rack and hitch upright mount for carrying a stand up paddleboard with your 2016 Toyota Tundra. We have just what you would need. The Rhino Rack parts # RRVA150B, # RRRLKVAH, # RTL002, and # DK079H would give you everything you would need. This will give you a single cross bar and a hitch mounted upright crossbar for your SUPs. Then the Thule SUP Taxi part # TH810001 would work well for carrying up to 2 paddleboards.

This is a custom fit system that clamps around the door sills. It has a 165 lb capacity and will do a great job of providing support for longer items. It is often coupled with the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar part # RTL002.

Starting with the front hitch, I highly recommend the Curt # C31089 that offers plenty of vertical load capacity and also won't reduce the ground clearance on the truck. I have attached the written installation instructions that you can check out as well. Then with the front hitch installed,...
