Today on our 2014 Dodge Avenger, we're going to be test-fitting the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack, using part numbers DA126B and DK046. With our rack assembled according to the manufacturer's instructions, we'll open our front doors and place the front half of our rack on the front portion of our roof line. The Rhino-Rack fit guide tells us that we need to measure 30 centimeters from the middle of the two doors to the center of our foot pack. We'll do this measurement on both sides to be sure we have our feet in line with each other. We'll then go from side to side and tighten each foot pack down a little bit at a time to secure it to our roof line. With our front half secure, we'll close our front doors and open our rear doors, grab the rear half of our rack. This time, we're going to measure from the center of the front foot pack to the center of the rear foot pack.
We should have a measurement here of 70 centimeters. We'll do this measurement on both sides to make sure our feet are even and that our bars are parallel with each other. We'll then repeat the same tightening process that we used for the front here at the rear. With both halves of our rack secure, we can now take the black plastic covers and put them in place. With all four of our covers in place, that will complete today's test fit of the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack, using part numbers DA126B and DK046 on our 2014 Dodge Avenger. .

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.
Used on cab roof of my truck to securely haul canoe
Excellent results! Excellent instructions and quality rack!
There are very few options for mounting a roof rack on a 2013 Tacoma Access Cab. The Rhino-Rack system ordered from etrailer arrived earlier than predicted. It took me less than an hour to unpack, inventory, read instructions and install. I installed RockyMount Tomahawk bike racks to the crossbars with ease. The setup is stout! Instructions were easy to follow and the system for determining the mounting position of the legs is extremely accurate. sliding the wind covers onto the crossbars was a bit of a challenge, but a little shot of soapy water made the strips slide much more easily. The crew at etrailer made certain that I ordered the correct setup for my truck!
Fits perfectly on my 2007 Audi A3.
People at etrailer.com were very helpful, nice and professional.
Thank you carol and george for getting me back on the trail again.
Will definitely be my to go place for all my roof rack, bike rack and other accessories.
Thank you again
Good quality and locks are included. The plastic lock covers are flimsy but they will keep an honest person honest.
2013 Tacoma Double Cab
I have sold and installed my fair share of T&Y racks, but this was my first Rhino product. Overall, the instructions and install process was very straightforward. Some of the small parts were installed at the factory, but the instructions walked you through installing them. No big deal, it just meant I had to back-out a part or two in order to install a prerequisite & related part that was not factory installed. I did have to refer to the Rhino Rack website and download the fitkit documentation to find the on-vehicle install measurements. This was because the included fitkit documentation only covered the regular & access cabs. No big deal, just a heads-up.
Once installed, the fit was tight and looked just as advertised. Some folks have commented on the flimsy tower locks. No, they are not robust (as compared to say Shakima's Q-towers). But it is my opinion that thieves don't steal racks, they steal what's on the racks (bikes, skis, etc). Yes, someone could get past the locks (true on any car rack) and take the whole enchilada. But that would be very obvious and take some time... thieves want to spend the least time possible.
Overall I am very impressed with this set-up when compared to the like solutions from T&Y. Again, I have installed and used MANY racks and I can see no compelling reason to spend more on the other solutions. The aluminum bars (with internally reinforced cross-section) will stand up to weather much better than the coated steel round & rectangular bars (I have never seen one of those bars NOT develop rust even with the ends internally sprayed with Rustoleum and end-capped.
No pics yet as I just installed the rack and it's dark outside.
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.
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
I ordered rhino racks for my Toyota. Everything arrived on time undamaged as usual. Never a problem with etrailer
Two items I received surprised me when I unpacked the box were the rails because they were not black like I saw in the picture, and the rubber insert that I am having a hard time sliding in the rail. Should this rubber insert have come already installed in the rail or is there a top on how to put in with ease?
Loved it and it fit pretty well. the only thing i struggled with was part of the installation and the location that the sheet wanted the racks to be placed. After some adjustment everything worked out fine and i love the result. Would recommend. On a side note I thought the bars might look weird compared to the towers, due to size, however they actually look great.
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!
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 got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
Needed the Rhino-Rack parts and they were delivered when promised. Great service.
Thank you for the very speedy customer service! My roof rack is already hear!
Thank you for the very speedy customer service! My roof rack is already here!
Rock solid with over 120 pounds on them daily, 1 year later.
Works better than the cheaper ones thats for sure! Great investment!
This is an excellent product. It was the only product that would fit my truck. I was able to mount it by myself, it took me longer than I thought it would, but it helps if you watch first a video on line about how to put it together. The support staff is excellent if you miss any parts. I highly recommend it for the 2015 Nissan Rogue.

This rack has been perfect. Adjusted a couple I times to make sure the latches secured to the side door frame properly. But have driven multiple times with 2 kayaks and had no issues even when pushing the weight limit.
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!!!
Perfect fit for the 2022 Chevy Silverad o.
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!
Excellent customer service, very quick delivery!
