Why is ours lower?
You’re looking at a 2,000 lb car on our roof rack. So, why do we list a conservative dynamic load rating?

Safety
We care more about your safety than marketing jargon.
Competitors inflate their dynamic load numbers just to sell racks. We list realistic limits because we know firsthand that a top-heavy truck on a cambered off-road trail is a massive safety risk.
Our racks are over-engineered with thicker alloys and stronger mounts (clearly capable of holding a car) but we will always prioritize safe handling over a spec sheet.

5 Stars all around.
Ordered my Crestone Roof Rack on 23 Nov 2025 and received it on 5 Dec. Packaging was outstanding. Install went smoothly after watching the Sherpa install video on YouTube. The rack is solid-I can grab it and shake the 4Runner and the rack does not budge. I could not detect any change at all with wind noise while at highway speeds. The rack made no noise while out on rough gravel roads. Highly recommend. Please see photo-it makes the 4Runner look better.
I purchased the Crestone roof rack for my 2019 4-Runner and love it! It was easy to install and looks great! Now I’m looking at some mounting brackets and accessories for it. Thank you Sherpa!
Hands down best overall buying experience. The whole team at Sherpa is truly dedicated to giving you both top notch customer service as well as one of the best whole rack systems in the market! Super easy install, and the finished product is absolutely perfect! Definitely my go too for all my future racks!
We are a small team in Colorado, not a call center overseas. If you are missing a bolt or have a fitment issue, you get a solution. We prioritize active install issues above new sales because we know your truck is waiting.
Our customer service is available Monday to Thursday 7am-5pm.
