    I am looking for a low profile cab roof rack for my 2017 OffRoad crewcab.

    I want to use it to secure a tarp and lighting...not so much for carrying stuff on top of my cab.
    Obviously a concern is wind noise and MPG loss...so I am looking for different options.

    What can anybody suggest?

    Did you notice any negatives when you installed?
    I am thinking wind noise and loss in MPG.

    Low profile. Stows away. Low wind noise (with a fairing installed or when stowed away) and also maintains gas mileage.....why not the OEM roof rack. If you don't need to carry more than 100 lbs it's perfect, and it looks great. Cheaper too than the other listed above which seem overkill for your uses.

    Good luck with what ever you choose.

    Here is the thread for the racks.
    Feel free to pm me if you have any questions.
    The rack is all modular as well as all accessories, the base rack in the photo can be fully outfitted like the rack on my truck with all bolt on items at any time.
