I'm looking to purchase a Rhino Rack cargo box to haul all of our winter camping gear, but I'd also like to use it to carry my skis. Are Rhino boxes long enough to do that?

The overall length of each of the cargo box models varies, but all of the Rhino boxes will allow enough room for several pairs of skis or snowboards. The shortest length box is at 75.5" and the longest at 85" - we'd recommend measuring your skis first to help select the correct length of box you need and ensure a proper fit. In addition to carrying your skis you'll also be able carry the rest of your gear in the cargo box (poles, goggles, boots, jacket, helmet, gloves etc) leaving plenty of room in your vehicle and hopefully keeping it dry when you're heading back! 

Our customers asked us: I have a 2016 Subaru Impreza and want the HD style bars but only Euro and Vortex bars show as options. What are HD bars for and why don't I see a listing?

Our Answer: HD bars are only available for certain applications (vans, trucks and SUVs) because they're meant for heavy duty commercial use. The bars have built in C-channels which allows for mounting of Rhino Rack heavy duty contractor grade accessories and carriers. Ladders, shovels, conduit and lumber would be some of the common loads seen on top of HD bars. These bars do not have a higher weight capacity than the Vortex or Euro style bars, but because of the design they would not be suited to your vehicle application.
 

We'd like to recommend visiting our Rhino Rack fit guide lookup to see the specific styles of bars and part # options for your vehicle.

 I just received my hitch #24792  and the installation instructions say no drilling required but it also says enlarge existing hole in both frame rails. How can this be done?

Step 2 on the installation instructions say to enlarge the exisitng hole in both frame rails to allow access for 1.00 X 3.00 spacers to be inserted as shown in figure 2. 

You can do this a couple of different ways. You can either take a rotary tool to work out the side or you can take a standard chisel and do it that way as well.

Our customers asked us: Do you offer a Rhino Rack roof rack for the 2009 GMC Sierra 2500 HD Crew Cab Long Box Duramax Diesel with a naked roof? Preferably with 60” crossbars.
 

Rhino Rack does make a system for this truck, But it offers 1,375mm Bars only this is to prevent excessive overhang and the dangers that accompany this, also to keep our systems as strong and quiet as possible, they are pre cut 290mm on each end for leg spacing. The roofline would not accept a longer bar than the 54” or 1,375mm. Please also keep in mind, the “Heavy Duty” bars are not meant for consumer use. These bars do not carry more weight than vortex, they are designed for construction equipment to be mounted to them

We recommend you visit our Rhino Rack Canada page and enter your vehicle application to see all of the available options for your vehicle. If you require assistance choosing your roof rack or need any assistance with Rhino Rack our team members are here to help! Please contact us at

Can I get replacement end caps for my Rhino Rack Vortex crossbars?

Question: I've lost one of the end caps for my Rhino vortex crossbars and need to replace it. Mine uses the universal core lock, are there any upgrades available?

Answer: We do carry two different styles of end caps that can be used on Vortex crossbars.

Secure Core Locking End Caps The Vortex Secure Core locking end cap is the new standard end cap that comes with the Rhino-Rack Vortex crossbars. The locking mechanism prevents theft of the accessories mounted to your crossbar to give you peace of mind. Each 2 pack will come with 1 universal key and the 4 pack will come with 2 keys.
