Recommended Rhino-Rack Roof Rack For A 2016 Ram 3500 And How Does Roof Rack Capacity Work
Question:
2016 ram 3500 crewcab, naked roof. What is the weight capacity of this system? Does this kit have everything that I need for installation? Thank you

Hey Bob,
Roof rack systems are typically only rated up to 165lbs because that's typically above the capacity of the vehicle's roof. More recently all manufacturers are switching to removing the capacity from the listing and telling consumers to check the weight capacity of the roof because people have been overloading their roofs and causing damage.
The # RR38ZE is missing a crossbar but includes the correct amount of feet and and fit kit components so you'll need to order the following components to ensure you have everything you need:
Crossbars # RRVA150B-2
Feet # RRRLKVA
Fit Kit # DK043

Kevin, I must have misunderstood your message about what was included in the kit. I ordered the kit and an extra crossbar. Now I have 3 crossbars!

Thank you for the info. Are there specific mounts for kayaks and surf/paddle boards that work with this system?
