Comparing the Different Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Crossbars with T-Load Bar

Question

Question:

Im looking at the Rhino Rack roof crossbar and T-Rack system for my 2017 Ram 2500 crew cab. The combo units you have listed show for a regular cab only. Will the crossbar work on my crew cab? I dont have a problem using another manufacturer crossbar if that is an option to match with the Rhino T-rack.

You have one option for system that works with the Rhino-Rack T-Load Load Assist Bar # RTL002 on your 2017 Ram 2500. Your option is:

Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Single Crossbar System # RRVA150B, # RRRLKVAH, # DK043H

Compatibility. The regular cab can only hold ONE crossbar with the T-Load, while the crew cab has that extra space for TWO crossbars. The single crossbar plus T-Load combo can also be used on the crew cab, but most don't choose that option since they'd rather just use their two crossbars plus a kayak carrier to carry their kayaks. Let me know if you want the two crossbar version and I'll make you a recommendation.

Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Single Crossbar System # RRVA150B, # RRRLKVAH, # RTL002, # DK043H : The latest Aero bar system. Can be doubled to make a confirmed fit two crossbar roof rack system. Not as low profile as the others since it has overhang, but people who want more bar space actually prefer that.

All in all, I recommend getting the 2500 series with part numbers # RRVA150B, # RRRLKVAH, # RTL002, # DK043H along with your T-Load Bar # RTL002. Having that option to upgrade it to a two bar system on your 2017 Ram 2500 Crew Cab is what cinches the deal for me.
