Consolidated 5th Gen Roof Rack Guide

In attempt to avoid the clear and present pun's at-work here, with more racks coming on the market it'd be nice to consolidate each rack's details into one location. This could also be a source for comparative discussions between the pros/cons of each rack, manufacturer customer service experiences, etc. I'll try to post each of the dedicated rack threads as well so we don't duplicate information.

I've listed the racks I'm aware of but some of the information is limited. If anyone has details that should be added please PM me and I'll make corrections. This compilation focuses specifically on racks that do not utilize the factory cross bars or side rails.

There is no doubt that Drabbit should be listed as "Buyer Beware!" Not only was I a customer, I have a rack that is not as I ordered and no recourse to resolve.

Here are a couple of threads devoted to roof racks/baskets that attach to the factory rails/crossbars:

Good call on the suggestions, I'll add in some sort of measure for customer service and lead-time (I know Gobi and Prinsu can get backed up).

This x1000.

Or even a "common pro's/con's" line.

People ordering Gobi should know there's often a 12+ week lead time. They should also know that if they ask Gobi what the lead time is, they should expect 2-3x that number. Could also include getting responses/information from them occasionally sucks as well. As a pro you could add it's probably the highest quality rack.

There are other racks with similar issues.

Lead time on the Front Runner is NIL. Basically shipped the next day and arriving within a week or so. Almost instant gratification.

Prinsu says 6-8 weeks of lead time but really it's more like 10-12 weeks.

Thanks again for the input. I updated the list to include ARB, LabRack, Rhino Racks, and Warrior. There is still missing information that I could not pull from their websites, if anyone can help fill this in feel free to post a comment and I'll update it, otherwise I'll work to contact manufacturers directly for information. I'm holding off on Drabbits until I figure out how to handle the customer feedback rating.

I almost broke the internet searching for racks before I found this. You're a gentleman, and a scholar.

Now if we can add some photos, that would be even better.
