    New Tundra owner. Love our new 2015 Crewmax Limited 4x4

    Looking for some direction or advice on the right brand of roof rack to buy. There are a lot of choices and pretty expensive so wanted to make sure I asked the group first.

    Looking at Thule and Rhino. Need the mounting brackets and bars, plus the actual rack or cage to mount on top.

    Concerned that with the 2015 the aftermarket parts are not specifically for the 2015.

    Any/all suggestions/help is very much appreciated.

    Thanks
    Jeff

    yep bank account is running low from it..
    I have the thule moab and thule rack for my shell (tacoma). I only can speak of this.

    Thule is damn good. I have had it up there for 4 years now and about 30000 miles never had to adjust it or anything. Locks are nice if you can get them for your unit. Over loaded it more than a few times but it didnt bend or anything.

    Yakima are nice too dont get me wrong. Both thule and yakima are up there. Really just depends on what your doing with it. Yakima has more accessories than thule tho I beleive.

    I had a Thule truck rack mounted to my 2013 Tundra factory rail system. They say you have to remove and mount to bed rail only. I just loosened the factory track rail system and mounted Thule rack and then tightened the rail system, don't use the rubber liner for the bottom of Thule base as it is too tight. Maybe a year later I installed the rubber base as it will stretch out in time. Now I get to use the Thule system and factory rail system, oh and I had mines powder coated black
