Full list of roof rack options and preferences

[nopantz]

I've collected the following list - am I missing any? Do you have any preferences on a full rack for an OT with regular moonroof?

I'm looking to ditch my crossbars for better traction board and ski mounts (eying the Kuat Grip 4 or 6). Maybe I'd throw a box or shovel up there some day, but not thinking about a tent.

I'd like to keep the weight moderate as I'd like to reserve payload capacity for towing + passengers.

Thanks for starting this thread. Many considerations of course, but I'll be especially interested in which full racks have the least wind noise/buffeting/hit to MPG while still allowing for a moonroof.

Does anyone know what kind of anchors you can purchase for the wescott roof rack to tie things down? They have center channel system that I am not familiar with.

Does anyone know if the Wescott / Sherpa / Prinsu racks are compatible with Luxury+ trim?

Yes. Thank you for starting this thread. I asked Westcott what is the reduction in fuel economy for their rack. They responded as follows "there is no significant affect on fuel economy with our roof rack, only until you mount items up there". One must also consider the typical weight to be placed on rack for the use. Some of us, will just employ light loads. Wife is kinda done with tent camping.

Thanks for putting this together! Also, it is great that you included shipping to Denver; very helpful.

I haven't seen pricing, but the Rhino-Rack Reconn will be one to add. It might be worth throwing the OEM option in for a frame of reference.

I would love any guidance on whether the racks are completely flat or have a slight lip on the edges. One of my use cases will be carrying sheets of plywood, so ideally, I want a 49" wide, completely flat option that clears the shark fin. It looks like the JW Offroad is a good bet for my needs, and I hadn't seen that one before in my research. Plus, they have 10% off for the first purchase.

I believe they all are. That said they will all affect the pano roof to some degree as you will cover up the view and it will likely cause shadows. That is the main reason why I haven’t purchased one yet. I want to see if there are racks which will have ways to preserve the pano roof as much as possible without sacrificing too much structural rigidity.

That and I need to make sure that these racks will be able to withstand the elements. My truck is outside 24/7.
