Bike roof rack that uses T slot in Rivian crossbar?

[reachjohnnyliu]

Are there any bike roof racks that can also use the t sot in the Rivian crossbar?

Yakima sells the HighRoad and has t-slot hardware for your crossbars. They are sold separately from the HighRoad.

+1, 1Up makes the best racks period, BUT you can only buy them from 1Up. All the bike dealers in my area would stop selling everything else if they could sell 1up.

I bought the below and it was perfect and I can easily mount to T over bed. S I have no experience with, but should be the same.

I've used the 1Up rack for years—solid overall, but it has one major design flaw: the aluminum teeth in the ratchet mechanism wear out over time. The original designer of 1Up now runs a new company, QuickR Racks, and they’ve finally got inventory. My neighbor picked one up, and it fixes that weak ratchet design with a better system. In my opinion, it’s a better product. I’ll still keep my 1Up, but only because I don’t upgrade without a good reason.

From what I've learned and researched it's a decade plus until failures occur.

I've had two failures in five years....then again, I ride 4-5x a week. The QuickR solution is far better and more reliable. I have no skin the game, just stating it as I see it.

I'm happy with the (more $$) Rivian branded Kuat Piston. It can mount on bed or hitch mount. Haven't tried the roof cause that's a bit of a heft.

One up works great for me when I have the bed full, but I usually fork-mount to the mole panel in the bed wall.

Out of curiosity, what cargo rack is that?

QuickR is right around the corner from me and I know the engineers and fabricators there quite well should you ever have a request or inquiry on their products that isn't just can you get me a discount...

The QuickR is definitely a better rack, but they don't make a roof rack version that uses the T-slot like 1Up does. I switch mine back and forth from being a crossbar mount vs hitch mount so the 1Up is the only option. Unless I'm misinformed, which would be a nice surprise.

Can you reconfirm what @andrew has expressed that QuickR does not make a T-slot rack like 1Up does, since you are in touch with the 1Up crew?

Anyone know of any roof racks that have ramps? I want to be able to carry a heavy e-bike over the bed when I'm towing, but would need a ramp to get it up and down.

 

[CharonPDX]

@Mark_AZR1T - If you still have the rack mounted to the crossbars, could you lower the truck to the lowest setting and measure the distance from the rack to the ground? I'm curious if the 1Up 74" ramp would be long enough to work for my needs.
