Evangeline: Hi, it's Evangeline from etrailer.com and today we are looking at our Inno Aero Roof Rack Kit on our 2020 Toyota Tacoma. Now what's great about having this roof rack is if you need to free up some space from your truck bed, you can put them up on your roof rack, as well as if you don't want to worry too much about stressing over it in complicated install, this is a good option for you. So let's take a look at the features of this roof rack. Now the first and foremost, my favorite part about this is how streamlined it looks. It really matches the whole look of the Tacoma. It's nice.
It's sporty. It looks really good, especially on a new truck like this, and it sits low profile, so it looks good, even if there's nothing mounted on it.How low profile exactly Let's see. So from our roof to the top of our bar, it's about three inches tall, so that's enough. You just have to think about that when you're driving through places, you have three extra inches on top of your truck. Some things people might worry about with this roof rack in particular is how, since it doesn't stick out, you might have a little bit less room to mount items, and let's see exactly how much space you have to mount accessories.
From that end to this end, it's about 40 and a half inches. So if that's a worry for you, you might want to consider getting another roof rack that extends out, but some people really like how low profile it is and how it doesn't stick out, so if that's something you like, then it's a very good option.Both sides of each crossbar come with locks, so there's a key to lock and you just unlock and you lock it for security. And if you're worried about scratching your truck with this easy install, it has these rubber mounts here just designed to prevent scratching, and these hooks are designed to fit perfectly against the contours of your truck, so that you can even slam it shut. So let's look at how we installed this.The first step here is to push the slider of the bar and you shouldn't be putting your finger inside that slit there, but push it out over here where it's safe. When this is out, you can then insert this plate to go from the bottom and then up, and you push the slider back inside with the plate.
If it's stuck, you can push that button down to help it slide through, all the way to the end, just like that, until it's centered inside.Then the next step is to get your base stay and this one is locked, so we get the keys and we just unlock that and lift the cover up and out. With that out of the way, you will look at this stay and this says right, so you have to have a right and a left for each crossbar. What we need to do is insert this bolt here, inside the plate, so to do that, I just put it upside down and then I try to center it over. Once it's in there, it'll just drop into place. That looks good.
Then you can just slide this out to the end. If you don't know how far or spaced they should be, it depends actually, if it's the front or the rear bar. I already installed the front bar, so the rear bar is 22 and a quarter inches.Now we have the middle marked out here and you measure all the way to the end, to where the arrow is. So right at the arrow to the middle, it says 24 and a quarter, so this should be a good placement right there. We're ready to tighten it down. With your base stay in place, you can then put the foot onto. There we go. That way. Now remember for the rear, it's a flat foot or a flat base for the base stay. There you go, that's on right there and this is to protect your car. After that foot is in place, you can then put the hook on.So to put the hook on, you have to loosen and take out this bolt first and keep the washers with you. You then insert this hook and reinsert the bolts. So if both base stays are installed onto the end of your crossbar, you're ready to put it on your truck. It's pretty nice to have a set of helping hands here so that you don't accidentally drop it on your truck, so we have Zach over here, who's going to grab the other end from up there as we set it on our truck.To figure out where to place your crossbars, you're going to use a tape measure here, and you will measure from the inside seam of the door. So from the door to the middle, for the front, it's nine and three quarters so that looks about right, and from the back base stay, it's supposed to be 17 and three quarters, so it's not exactly there. We're going to push it a little bit. So to align it into good position, this needs to be 17 and three quarters, so it should be right there. Push it up until it aligns like that, then we're going to lock it into place.If you have your base stay measured into the position it needs to be in, you're ready to use the included tool to tighten it down. Now I recommend to go back and forth while tightening it so you don't have too much tension on one side, pulling it and possibly skewing the positions of your crossbar. You tighten both sides. Just tighten it until you hear a clicking sound. There we go. That's tight in there. And to finish our installation, we throw on these caps, then we lock them down. There we go, all done.So it is a pretty good roof rack. Remember it has a weight capacity of 165 pounds, which still is a pretty high capacity. Just keep that in mind when you're driving around, how high it is and how much you can put on there, but all in all my final thoughts about it, I like how it looks and I like how easy it was to install. I like this roof rack.This was the Inno Aero Roof Rack Kit on a 2020 Toyota Tacoma..

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.Very easy ordering process. Super friendly staff. Correct parts and the Inno rack turned out to be much higher quality than I anticipated. Overall, great experience!
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.
etrailer was great to order from! Going to the website makes it easy to see what roof rack will fit your vehicle. Ordering process was a breeze and the fulfillment updates were great. Ordered on the 13th and received it on the 16th so the FREE shipping was super fast. New installs of anything can always be challenging but once I read the the instructions it all went pretty smooth. Installing this Inno Roof Rack onto our 2021 Tacoma TRD Sport was pretty simple and took less than an hours from start to finish. Now we are ready to load up out Thule cargo carrier when we hit the road.
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.
Inno has their act together. The only thing you need to install this rack is a box knife to open the boxes.
The rack was a perfect fit. The instructions are easy to understand. It assembled quickly and is secure when installed on the roof.
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.
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!
Quick and easy. This roof rack was shipped quickly. Installation was super easy and it looks like it was made for my truck. Holds my canoe perfectly. Thank you!
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.
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!
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.
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.
Easy to install, looks great
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.
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.
this is a great product and easy to install, especially after viewing the videos that etrailer supplies. took less than an hour. I want to thank Nicole t for helping me order the right roof racks.
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.
