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?
When to use Rhino Rack Heavy Duty bars

 

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.


For more information on each style of bar please visit our blog post illustrating what are Rhino Rack crossbars. If you have any additional questions on Rhino Rack please contact our team - info@hitchweb.com or 1-800-300-4067
