Heavy-Duty Roof Rack with 3 Crossbars for Solar Panels on 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500

Question:

HI I have a 2020 MBENZ Sprinter, standardlowroof, 144wb, 2500. Only 1500 and 3500 are listed on the pull down? I have factory roof rails OEM included. Looking to purchase 3 cross bars and hardware to attach to existing rails. Square. Heavy duty…something I can screw into…planning on building a deck up there…and some solar panels. Thanks

For your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with the standard roof and track system I recommend using the Rhino-Rack HD roof rack system which consists of the following:

71" HD Bars - # RB1800B-3
4-Pack Legs - # RRRLT600
2-Pack Legs - # RRRLT600H
Quick Mount Nuts - # RRQMFK11-3
Leg Spacers for HD Bars - # RRQMHD05-3

Please note that the Channel Nuts in RLT600 must be swapped out and the larger, N035A track nut, must be used in the track. The HD Bars have a C-Channel in the top that also comes with a rubber insert for places where you won't be installing anything. Rhino-Rack would say not to drill into the crossbars but that's the same response that you'll get from any roof rack manufacturer. It also wouldn't be a bad idea to see if your vehicle has a roof weight rating so you know what you can safely load on your roof.
