How to Tell If 46" Rhino-Rack Crossbars Will Fit 2023 Nissan Pathfinder with Raised Rails
Question:
Hi, I already own a set of 46” rhino rack aero crossbars. Will those fit in the 2023 Nissan pathfinder? I’d prefer to transfer those from my old car to the new one but hoping 46” isn’t too short. The pathfinder I have has rails installed along the length of the vehicle.

Expert Reply:
The Rhino-Rack roof rack for your 2023 Nissan Pathfinder with raised rails uses the 49" Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 as well as the SX Series Legs # RRSX100. You might be able to use the shorter 46" Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 but you'll need to measure the outermost distance between the raised rails to determine fitment.
The outside part of the clamp on the SX Series Legs lines up with the outermost piece that fits into the track so if your raised rails measure 46" or less outside to outside then you can use the smaller bars and you'll only need to order the legs. If that measurement is more than 46" then you need the larger bars and the legs.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
