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..

Vortex strips in C-channels reduce wind noise. Includes theft-deterring plastic locks.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.
I give 3.5 because I don't have much experience with other racks using a track system. This was my first track system. The install was the absolute worst part. First time drilling into your car roof is terrifying. I put the install off for months. Plus I had to buy a special pneumatic pop rivet gun that was another 100 on top. Wasn't very happy about that. Minor hang ups with the install but nothing too serious. They've done well holding up my rack carrying four kayaks and the adjustability came in handy early on but now I know my desired spread, not likely to change ever again. The butyl tape seems to keep any water from coming into the car. I'm not aware of any water damage or wet spots.
Fit perfectly with other parts.
lots of wind noise.
I think it just looks good first of all. I can carry my paddle boards and still use my one touch roof top.
I needed to get this order delivered on a tight schedule, and etrailer came through for me. Everything as ordered and delivered quickly. Great buying experience (as usual)
Quality products. Customer support top notch!
Arrived in good time and good shape. Now, the task of installation.
These are what it took to make my Rhino gutter mount legs fit my Rhino aero bars.
Upon ordering all the roof bars & legs for my Ford E350, it wasn't mentioned that I would be needing these adaptors. Ultimately, etrailer helped me figure out what it takes.
Seems that replacing the 3/8" bolt with the 6mm bolt that these adaptors come with might be sketchy. Although these hard plastic plates have a boss that locates them well. I used anti-seize on all fasteners.
Everything went together fine. Always happy to do business with etrailer!!
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 .
Outstanding finish. Super strong
had to drill the hole to clean out the powder coating to get the rivet to go into the hole
Desi was awesome in helping us build the perfect mount for our roof top tent set up.
