    I think they’re all going to be about the same.

    I had the Prinsu and removed it within weeks because of the wind noise and the drop in MPGs.

    OEM rack will not have the same capacity as aftermarket, but it stows, when not in use, so it will be the quietest option.

    +1. It’s not the burliest option, but it’s the quietest.

    OP, your first criteria is not noise level, it must be "what do I need to carry on the roof". If the answer is an occasional ladder or canoe, then the OEM roof rack is adequate and as already stated the cross bars fold away when not in use and is very quiet. If your loads are more substantial, then look elsewhere, but those options will make noise.

    All have wind noise just a matter of how bad. My mt's and roof rack noise are about the same so I can't tell what's making which noise anymore.
    Real question why put on a roof rack? If it wasn't for my awning and camp lights and kayaks that thing would be off of there so fast.
    I removed it last fall for warranty issues and damn did the truck ever feel good without it and the extra weight.
    If it's going tp be empty 90% of the time save the money.
