OT Roof Rack

Mine is also coming with a roof rack that I can not use as it makes it too high for the garage. I asked the dealer to take $500 off the price and keep the roof rack, but they declined. If someone is interested I will sell it and ship. I should have the car in about two weeks.
How much? Which state? I have OT+ and looking for one
 
the car came today. It does fit in the garage and my kids said I must keep the roof rack. Did not want it originally…. But it looks good!

Do you know which version roof rack this is? Style name? Model #, etc ... I think it looks really good and would want to get one for ours. Thanks!
 
I do not. If I can find more information, I will get back to you on that. On the Invoice it is identified as the Overtrail Roofrack at $1580.
 
So, earlier this week, I finally test drove an OT+ with the roof rack. I found that, at highway speed, there was some wind noise which resembled a low tone occasional whistle which was more noticeable than just wind itself. It wasn't overly distracting, but it was there. I would have to see if it's something I would sublimely tolerate as a regular driver over time. My initial reaction is that I wouldn't remove it due to noise but won't know for sure until then. Now, as far as fitting in my garage, that would be another thing.... Overall, I was extremely impressed with the vehicle. Thanks for all the responses to my post. Hope this helps all of you.

It was the PIO RR that is the $1500 “option.”

I've had roof racks for 40 years. They all make noise of some sort.

My OT had left the factory, on its way to the port (Jacksonville). I sat down with my sales guy, and as we went over the dealer build sheet, found out there was time to make changes to port installed options (POI).

I'll never use a roof top rack, so delete (-1560). Got the rock rails changed to black running board. Deleted the trailer ball, -80 (have too many as it is), and a couple other tweaks.

So, POI can be changed before the port does the installation. Once the option is added, it will not be removed.

FYI ... That roof rack is a 1560 item.
 
thanks for confirming! had seen that but wasn’t 100. 🍻
So with such a low rating a roof top tent sleeping two adults will be out of the question? I’m still not sure of the bearing weight. Does that mean total weight over the bearing or just the weight of the rack?
 
You would have to mount the Prinsu Pro Roof Rack made for the GX 550 to install a RTT that is over 165 lbs. When my time arrives I'm hoping for a OT+ with rock rails but no factory roof rack. I will purchase the Prinsu rack if available and have it installed before pickup. That's the plan anyway.

Yes I’m doing the same
 
How was the test drive?
Thank you for asking. I liked everything about the vehicle. Only one thing grabbed my attention. The steering is exceptionally light. Is this due to the off-road tires or by design? I am used to feeling the road. I know I won't be performance driving but that is the one thing I noticed, not bad, just noticed. By the way I am new to the segment.
