Recommended Roof Rack for a 2023 Cadillac XT5 w/ Side Rails

Question

Question:

I have a 2023 Cadillac XT5 with the rails on the side of the roof but no crossbars. I would like to add a set of crossbars to my roof so I can carry my cargo carrier. Do you have anything that will work?

Yes, there is a set of crossbars that will fit the factory side rails of your 2023 Cadillac XT5. It is the roof rack by Rhino Rack and it includes the following parts:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 46" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA118B-2

RCL Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars and Pioneer Platforms - Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 4 item # RRRCL4

Custom RCP Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack RC and RV Series Roof Rack Legs - Fixed Mounting Points item # RR32SV

This aero bar roof rack system has a 220 lbs capacity. The included locks will prevent theft. The rubberized vortex strips in the top channels dramatically reduce drag and wind noise.

I have linked a picture, along with a video, that will show you what this system will look like when installed on your Cadillac.
