Does It Fit My Car?
Although most roof rack systems contain some modular parts, your specific options will depend on the year, make, and model of your car. For the majority of vehicles, brands like Yakima and Thule currently provide one or more solutions, but at ReRack, we are able to offer a wide range of options, from now-discontinued designs to the most cutting-edge racks. Contact us if you’re unsure about the parts your car needs! We are glad to assist. See this section of our guide for a description of the common roof rack types.
How Much Is It Going To Cost?
For our clients, price is typically the most crucial consideration. We attempt to stock as many return and used things as we can because you’ll save money and it’s better for the environment (the majority of a rack’s carbon lifecycle occurs during original construction). We also provide a wide selection of brand-new roof racks, of course!
At ReRack, we only offer racks and accessories made by reputable companies like Yakima, Thule, and Rhino-Rack. These roof racks often have greater weight and gear capacities than stock manufacturing racks. The cost of a base roof rack will vary depending on if you want new components, an aerodynamic profile, and the year, make, and model of your car. Complete roof rack systems range in price from about $150 for a secondhand rack on older vehicles to more than $500 for a brand-new, top-of-the-line arrangement that is aerodynamic.
What Do I Want To Carry?
The majority of the time, people purchase a roof rack so they may attach specialized mounts (such as bike racks, kayak carriers, cargo boxes, etc.) to them or because they already have roof mounts. Purchasing a roof rack and roof rack mounts from the same brand is the easiest and least expensive option.
While some goods can be used with several crossbar types, others need additional adapters that must be bought separately or simply won’t function with particular crossbars.
Consider your needs and whether a certain brand is best suited for the equipment you plan to place on your roof rack.
What’s Going To Look Good?
Everyone has own tastes, right? You might choose square or round crossbars; you might need more height; you might prefer silver or black; you might prefer round crossbars or square ones. Before making a choice, compare a few different rack manufacturers because they all have slightly distinct designs.
Roof racks might they harm your car?
A roof rack that is installed and utilized correctly will provide years of trouble-free service and won’t harm your automobile. Your automobile may sustain harm from a poorly fitting, overloaded, or improperly torqued roof rack.
Weight
Instagram would have you believe that you should immediately go out and install a rooftop tent on your Subaru Crosstrek, but in reality, cars aren’t made to transport large objects on their roofs. No matter which rack system you employ, most passenger vehicles have a 150-pound weight restriction up top. That can be exceeded even with a full cooler and some camping chairs. And placing a lot of weight so far above your car’s optimal center of gravity may make it more difficult for it to safely negotiate crosswinds, hard braking, and curves at high speeds.
That only applies to driving. Off-road, packing your car to the gills could result in a rollover or simply tax your suspension on a length of straightforward washboard.
Aerodynamics
The aerodynamic performance of your vehicle is ruined when you have a lot of cargo on the roof, which results in 1) significantly decreased fuel efficiency and 2) increased interior noise. For one journey from Home Depot to your house, it might not sound too bad, but if you leave your roof rack on all year long, as the majority of drivers do, you’ll have to pay those fines each time you drive.
Access
Even though I am 6’2″ and work out in the gym three to four days a week, I still find it difficult to load and unload items from my vehicles’ roofs. Any bike that weighs more than 30 pounds can be uncomfortable, and I frequently need assistance with even the simplest mountain bikes. A roof rack is usually not the best place to carry anything, especially if you’re alone and if your car is tall.
Cost
In addition to the additional gasoline you’ll burn, racks are expensive in and of themselves. It takes up room in your garage when you take it off, which you should do as soon as you’re finished using it. Exist any less expensive options?
What is the weight capacity of a 2016 Toyota Camry?
The greatest load a Toyota Camry is capable of towing. The mentioned maximum trailer weights only apply to elevations up to 3280 feet (1,000 meters) above sea level. As altitude rises, the reduced air density reduces engine power and, as a result, the car’s ability to climb; as a result, the maximum trailer weight must be adjusted. For each additional 3280 feet (1,000 meters), the weight of the vehicle and trailer must be lowered by 10%. (or part thereof).
