Recommended Roof Rack for a 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500

Question:

I need to add a roof rack to my 23 Silverado 3500 to haul my kayaks. I have a couple of the Rhino-Rack Kayak carriers you guys sell. I could fit two on the roof of my old truck and I am hoping to do the same with this one.

To transport your kayak's with your 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500 you will want the roof rack by Rhino Rack and it includes the following parts:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 59" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA150B-2

Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 item # RRRLKVA

Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Naked Roof item # DK427

The crossbars are 59" long which will give you plenty of room to use the two Rhino-Rack Kayak Roof Rack item # S510 carriers you have.

This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. The included locks will prevent theft. The rubberized vortex strips in the top channels dramatically reduce drag and wind noise.

This system will fit the double cab and crew cab models of the 2023 Silverado 3500's. It will NOT fit the regular cab trucks.

I have attached a couple of pictures below that will show you a similar set up. I have also linked an installation video for this roof rack installed on a different truck but the steps are the same.
