Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Fit For 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500

Question

Question:

I plan to buy the rhino roof rack on my 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 mainly for the roof top tent. Do you have any rhino roof rack that can meet my truck and the tent mounting weight requirement because I cannot find the related answer in the Q/A session. Thanks a lot!

We do have a Rhino-Rack roof rack that fits a 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500, so long as you have a Crew Cab or Double Cab. I'm not sure which roof top tent you have but most only require a crossbar capacity of 165 lbs, which is what these racks have.

That is the dynamic (moving) capacity of the bars; the static (stationary) capacity is much higher, and why you can use rooftop tents on roof racks. You also want to ensure that your tent is okay to use on a roof rack that clamps onto your roof, as not all will work on those type of racks.

With all that in mind, here is the Rhino-Rack roof rack that fits your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500:

- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA150B-2 (Black) or # RRVA150S-2 (Silver)
- Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA
- Custom DK Fit Kit # DK377

The accompanying photo is of this rack on a '16 Silverado so you can get a glimpse of how the rack will look on a similar truck.
