Hey everyone, it's Evangeline right here at Etrailer. Today we have the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack and we're gonna take a look at how it fits and I'll also show you how to get installed on your 2024 Toyota RAV4. If you need to get some fun roof rack accessories mounted to your vehicle, in fact, this vehicle is getting a rooftop tent mounted to the top of it, what you first need is a roof rack, so this is gonna be a three part kit. We have the 49 inch long vortex bars. These are gonna be aerodynamic and very versatile for different accessories. You also have the RCH legs, which are gonna give you a little bit of height so that you can clamp things around it.

And finally, we have a custom fit kit for your Toyota RAV4. It's very important to use our fit guide here at Etrailer because we have all of this kitted together as one thing, and that's gonna be something that is custom but also a confirmed fit for your vehicle. For the RAV4, there's a bunch of roof rack options and the main thing is bouncing price as well as what type of style you're looking for. I like the Rhino-Rack because it's a solid midpoint roof rack system where you get a lot of versatility and I think it looks good on the RAV4. It's very easy to install, although you do have to keep a 10 millimeter wrench handy in order to keep those towers tightened down.

It's very similar to Yakima's flush rail roof rack where you have the same design. The main difference though to Yakima, is that the Yakima towers you can remove and they have little caps that go onto the brackets that stay on your roof. For this one, you're gonna have to leave the whole system on or take the whole system off. I've seen a bunch of different RAV4s and I know they all have different types of roofs, so double check yours to make sure this is gonna be a fit for you. We have a flush roof here, meaning we have a rail that goes up, but you cannot fit your hand underneath.

If you can't fit your hand underneath, you're gonna have a raised rail, and if you have no rail whatsoever, that's what we call a naked roof. So again, the fit guide will help guide you through those three different options. This is gonna be the one for the flush rail. This gives us a good amount of overhang, three inches up front, four inches in the back. Overhang is measured from the end cap to right to the tower, and that is a spot where you can still clamp accessories down, or if you want to utilize the T track, you can put your accessories anywhere on the crossbar.

This is all secured with an end cap and you also have weather strips on top. So the weather strips are great because it will help cushion your accessory that's loaded onto the rack. However, if you wanted to use the channel in between your crossbar, you are gonna have to take these strips off. For height, when I took my measurement, I measure at the top part of the roof. So here we have three and a quarter inches of clearance underneath the crossbar. In the back we have about three and a half inches of clearance underneath the crossbar. That is a good amount of clearance for clamps that go around. You'll see some clamps that have wing nuts and U bolts, and those require a lot of space. We also see super low profile clamps too. With this type of height, you're gonna get a lot of versatility. The next measurement is
