Fit my F150 Lightning perfectly (on the RetraxPro XR). Went with the 65” bar so to avoid the larger overhang with the 71” bar. Very pleased with rhino rack - solid design, easy to install, and a great value. Added 15mm spacers to ensure clearance of the tonneau latch mechanism under the cross bar. Paired with 1up bike racks.



by:

Strong and easy set up. Pace Edwards Ultra Trac cover will NOT accept this system even though rhino-rack claims it will. Only if you modify the plates that slide into the track. They’re too wide. I swapped mine out for this to fit my roll top.



by:

I installed this on a Retrax Pro XR tonneau cover mounted to a 2020 Ford Ranger. My intention is to use this rack for a rooftop tent and for more options to haul things above the rack. I considered the Yakima Outpost system, but chose the Rhino-Rack due to the lower height and much lower cost. I also liked the option to easily remove the bars when not in use.

Installation would have been very easy except that one of the Retrax track slots seemed to be a little smaller than the other. The square mounting plates that slide into the track slot would only go so far before getting stuck. I ended up having to use a Dremmel tool to grind down the edges of the mounting plates to get them to fit into the track.

When opening the Retrax cover, I found the handle will not clear the bottom of the rack when fully open - had to push it down a little to clear the rack. No big deal, just be aware.

Overall very pleased with the rack. It looks good, easy to remove when I don't need it, and should suit my needs.

Works very well with my Retrax bed cove r!



by:

Just completed my installation of the Rhino Rack on my 2018 Chevy Colorado. I have been researching for a railing system for a about a year and decided to go with
etrailer.. I have purchased a couple of items prior and was very pleased.

I called Crystal who was very knowledgeable with the product and decided to move forward with my purchase.

Thank you for help

Got those installed and they look good



by:

This rhino rack definitely looked repackaged from what I’m to only guess was a careless return. I haven’t even used the product and during install it was apparent from the visable scratches and missing “vortex rubber strips.” I hope etrailer can make right by this shortcoming.

I sincerely apologize that the roof rack bars arrived scratched and that the strips are missing. I will send this information to our shipping department and have our customer service team reach out to you.

Love the Rhino Rack Crossbars! Easy to install and remove. Thank you again Etrailer!



by:

Great product and great support by etrailer. I use the Rhino-Rack crossbar system with a Rockymounts bike mount on my 2021 Ford Ranger. Rock solid and it looks very nice



by:

You guys did greats getting it to me. Couple of things are the mounting hardware got rusted out just after a few days. So I have to remove rack and hardware when not in use (can’t just cap the feet) or else it rust more and leaves rust stains on my track system. Other then that racks them selves work great.



by:

When I upgraded my pickup and added a Retrax tonneau cover I needed to change out my rack system for hauling bicycles and kayaks. The Rhino Rack system was noticeably cheaper than anything Yakima had so I gave it a try. It attaches easily and looks like it will work well.



by:

Love the crossbars. Super easy to install and work great.



by:

Reliable, well made, has held up well in AZ and now in CO. I don’t leave them on the truck every day, they live in the garage until they are needed. When we moved I carried three bikes on them from Arizona to Colorado without an issue. Quiet, no rattle, easy to assemble and secure.



by:

There was no instructions in the box but nothing a few [online] videos couldn't solve. I am happy with the product, but not happy with the way it was shipped.



by:

Staff was friendly, informative. They got my order delivered on time. Will definitely consider etrailer for all my truck needs!

Kaylyn R. is great !!!

Everything in order. Easy to install.

  • What Rhino-Rack Crossbars are Compatible w/ a RetraxOne XR Hard Tonneau Cover?
    The RetraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover item # RTX57YR weighs 25 lbs. It is confirmed to fit the 6-1/2' bed length of the 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500. There are two options for Rhino-Rack crossbar kits that are compatible with the t-slots on the RetraxONE XR. I have listed them below: 71" Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax XR Tonneau Covers item # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 65" Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax XR item # RRVA165B-RRRLT600

  • Cost Effective Crosrsbar and Bike Rack Solution for Retrax Pro XR Tonneau Cover
    Rhino Rack has the most cost effective crossbar solution for the Retrax Pro XR tonneaus like what you have with the part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 which was specifically designed for your application. The other brand options are more expensive and I wouldn't say any higher quality so the Rhino Rack is what I would recommend for you, and also what I would personally go with if I were in your situation. Then for a bike rack the Malone Pilot TC ST part # MPG2103 that you mentioned would be a great...

  • Rack System for a Retrax XR Cover on a 2022 Nissan Frontier to Carry Snowboards and Mountain Bikes
    There are actually some racks specifically for the Retrax XR covers. Since your 2022 Nissan Frontier falls into the midsize category you would want the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers # RRVA165B-RRRLT600. This will provide you with crossbars over your truck bed to attach channel and clamp mounted accessories to transport your snowboards and mountain bikes. For your snowboards you can use the Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for RetraxPRO MX Tonneau Cover
    Rhino Rack actually makes a roof rack that is designed to fit in the t-slots of the RetraxPRO MX tonnea covers like the part # RTT-80243 with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers - Black - 65" Long # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 which comes with everything you need so this would be a perfect solution for you.

  • Mid Level Ladder Rack that Fits 2022 Ford F-150 5.5 Bed with RetraxPRO XR Tonneau Cover
    Since the RetraxPRO XR part # RTX47SR for your 2022 Ford F-150 5-1/2 ft bed has the accessory T-slots the best option for a a mid level ladder rack would be the Yakima Outpost HD Overland part # Y01152-5855 which comes with adapters to fit the tracks of your tonneau. The upright height of this would be 13 inches above the bed rails of your truck. Or we have options that are just a few inches above the bed rails: For 71" crossbars you will want the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax...

  • Crossbar Tonneau Cover Combo For A 2018 GMC Sierra 1500
    If you want to use the Retrax XR Tonneau Cover # RTT-60461 and want crossbars on top, these you're looking at # Y01-140B-NT aren't what you want. You can use these # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 as they are designed specifically for the Retrax XR tonneau cover. The one I included is for your truck with a 5-1/2 foot bed. If you have a 6-1/2 foot bed you can use this cover # RTT-60462.

  • How to Carry Bikes in Truck Bed with Retrax XR Tonneau Cover Installed
    I got you. You can use the 65" Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar # RRVA165B with the Quick Mount Legs # RRRLT600H for a single crossbar on your Retrax XR tonneau cover or the kit # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 for 2 crossbars (if you ever think you'll need a second one in the future). Once you have this in place you can use the RockyMounts LoBall Bike Rack # RKY1097 which mounts via the T-Slots in the Rhino-Rack crossbar so that the forks of your bike will be sitting above that tonneau cover canister so...

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Carrier for an ARE Camper Shell
    If the ARE Camper Shell already has a set of tracks installed then you can use the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 along with two sets of the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier part # S512 in order to carry up to two kayaks. This system will be quiet due to the aero shaped crossbars and easy to load due to the j-style cradles that don't require you to use as much of your arms to get the kayaks into position. If you don't already have a set of tracks installed...

  • Recommended Crossbars for a 2020 Ford Ranger w/ a RetraxPRO XR Tonneau Cover
    I have a solution for you but our next size down kit is going to be the 65" Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax XR Tonnneau Covers item # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 but this is still too wide. From what I could find online the bed of a 2020 Ranger measures 72.8" L x 44.8" W x 20.8" T. With this in mind, I recommend buying two sets of the Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars item # RRRLT600H and using the 49" long Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars item # RRVA126B-2.

  • How to Use the Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier # RR574F with Retrax XR Trax Rails
    While we do have a solution to use the Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier # RR574F on your 2022 Silverado short bed with Trax rails installed on the Retrax XR tonneau cover, you cannot attach the # RR574F directly to the Trax rails. This is because not only can we not confirm that the t-slot hardware from the # RR574F fit the track dimensions of the Trax rails, you won't have enough length on the carrier's themselves to allow you to extend the carrier to Trax on the opposite side of the truck....

  • Crossbar Recommendation for my Retrax XR Tonneau Cover on a 2017 Toyota Tacoma
    There are two great options: the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers - Black - 65" Long # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 and the 71" # RRVA180B-RRRLT600. Both of these racks attach right to the tracks on your cover and are super low profile. Once installed you can use many of the available roof mounted bike racks available like the Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier part # Y02103.

  • Recommended Tonneau Cover and Rack to Carry 3 Kayaks with 2018 F-150 5-1/2 Bed
    The RetraxONE XR # RTT-60373 and the Rhino Rack # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 crossbars and a carrier like the Thule Stacker, part # TH830 could be used for the purpose you described, but because the kayaks you'll be carrying are twice as long as the truck bed you'll have half of each kayak hanging off of the rear of the truck, which means that less than half of the length of the kayak will secured by the carrier. You're more than welcome to go this route, but I don't believe this would work very...

  • Crossbar System Compatible with OEM Ford Retractable Tonneau Cover T-Slots on 2019 F-150 Raptor
    I was able to confirm through my contact at Retrax that the T-channels on your 2019 Ford Raptor OEM tonneau Cover, model number VJL3Z84501A42A, share the same dimensions as the T-channels on the RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover w/ Trax Rails # RTT-80373, confirmed to fit the same truck. This is true because Retrax helps to manufacture some of the components for the Ford tonneau covers.

  • Is Weight Capacity of Rhino-Rack Crossbars for Retrax XR Tonneau Cover Per Bar or Total
    Good question, and the answer is that the weight capacity is the total capacity. So the capacity of the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 is 220 lbs maximum across both bars (think of it as 110 lbs per bar). These are 71 inch bars and there are also 65 inch bars with the same capacity, which are part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600. I have added a link to a video review and the instructions for you to check out as well.

  • Picking Between 65 and 71 inch Rhino Rack Crossbar Setup for Retrax XR Tonneau
    What I would do is go out to your truck and measure out 71 inches and 65 inches on a tape measure and compare that to the width of your bed. If you think the 71 inch looks better and would suit your needs then that's what you would want to go with part # RRVA180B-RRRLT600. If instead you'd prefer the 65 inch you'd want the part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600. As long as neither extends out past your mirrors you'd be safe to use either.

    I have a great solution for a rack that works with the rails on your Retrax XR tonneau cover on your 2018 Ford F-150. Unfortunately, the Track Mount RLTP Legs for Rhino-Rack RTC- and RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks - 2" Tall # RLTP-2 will not fit the Retrax XR rails. However, Rhino-Rack does make legs that are designed to fit the Retrax XR rails. Those are the Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - RTC and RT Roof Rack Tracks # RRRLT600.
