Whether your car has raised rails, flush rails, or a bare roof, the key is finding a custom-fit system that installs securely without damage. Using etrailer's fit guide designed for your vehicle ensures you get the right setup the first time—without the guesswork. How much weight can my roof rack hold?Your roof rack is only as strong as your vehicle’s roof. While most roof racks support dynamic loads between 165-220 lbs, always check your vehicle’s manual for its maximum roof load rating. Exceeding the limit can affect handling and put strain on your vehicle. Will a roof rack affect my fuel efficiency?Adding a roof rack changes your vehicle’s aerodynamics, which can slightly impact fuel economy. But today’s roof racks are designed with aerodynamics in mind, reducing wind noise and drag. Using low-profile, aerodynamic crossbars and removing accessories when not in use helps keep efficiency losses minimal.Can I install a roof rack if my vehicle doesn’t have rails?Absolutely! Many vehicles without factory roof rails can still be equipped with a secure, custom-fit roof rack. These systems mount to door jambs, fixed mounting points, or clamp-on locations designed by the manufacturer. The right fit means no drilling, no damage—just a solid, reliable setup.How do I make sure my gear stays secure on my roof rack?A good roof rack is only as secure as what’s on it. Always use proper tie-downs, load stops, and locking accessories to prevent shifting or theft. Spreading weight evenly and keeping heavier items toward the center improves balance and stability. A well-secured load keeps you focused on the drive, not what’s happening above you.
