Do you routinely run out of usable cargo space in your pickup, SUV, or van? Take charge of the unused area above the cab with a sleek and practical Low-Profile Roof Rack!
Why Install a Low Profile Roof Rack?
Low-profile roof racks are sleek, roof-mounted rails, crossbars, and platforms that provide maximum cargo space without significantly diminishing roof clearances or degrading aesthetics. No matter the cargo you plan to carry–like snowboards, luggage, bicycles, or otherwise–low-profile roof racks offer a convenient storage location that leaves your bed and cab free for larger objects, passengers, and pets!
Installing a low-profile roof rack is typically a breeze; most require zero cutting, drilling, or other modifications, instead utilizing your truck’s rain gutters/channels or door jambs for a quick and secure installation. And just as you install a roof rack, you can easily pull it off in a pinch!
Types of Low-Profile Roof Racks
Roof Rails
Roof rails, such as the Lo-Pro Tracks from ProRack, mount parallel to your truck, SUV, or van’s wheelbase, stretching from the front of the cab to the rear. Roof rails are sturdy, low-profile bases to build upon, typically accepting cross bars, baskets, and other gear holders.
Cross Bars
Cross bars stretch perpendicularly to your vehicle’s wheelbase, extending from the driver's to the passenger’s side of the roof. Crossbar systems, such as the Rhino-Rack StealthBar, come in various configurations ranging from different mounting styles (naked roof, roof rail, or in-channel) to bar styles (round, aero, or square). Cross bars, like roof rails, are typically used as the base structure for other accessories and gear holders, including cargo boxes, bike racks, snowboard racks, roof baskets, and more!
Platform Racks
Platform Racks, such as the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform, make loading and unloading all shapes and sizes of cargo a breeze. These practical, low-profile roof rack systems feature a wide deck for carrying coolers, tools, and oversized cargo. However, most platform racks require a crossbar or roof rail system for mounting.
