Rhino Rack roof rack vs Thule & Yakima

Anyone running a Rhino Rack roof rack on their truck? These can be had for at least 100$ cheaper than a Thule or Yakima.

How do they compare? I need a rack to haul an 80 lb 14' canoe and Ive been comparing the 3.

Ive been looking at the Rhino Euro 2500 with the square load bars.

Ive had good luck with Thule racks before but no experience with the Rhinos.

 

I have single cab and by the book cab roof can handle only 65 lb. I have one rhino aero rack that can handle over 100 lbs. but I do not put more then 70 lbs. on it. I bought rack for $135 (Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Half Kit with 1 Aero Crossbar - 54" Long – Black) When I got it I found out that I need “DK” clamps and pads that cost about $45 shipped. I got both from etrailer.com so $180 total.
Wind noise increased on highway, but I got used to it. I think I will buy one of those air reflector flaps for roof racks in future.

How do you like the rack?

Any issues with it?

 

I like that it has a lock so it's harder for someone to steal it. Works fine and looks good.

 

Sounds good.

Anyone else running one?


Im about to pull the trigger, methinks

Damn, someone didn't use the search button!

 

Damn. Someone did, and there was only a handful of threads with minimal information. Most of those threads were F/S threads....

Damn
