What is better: Prinsu vs Frontrunner?

This is a very personal choice. Prinsu roof racks are slightly different to Front Runner roof racks. Prinsu roof racks are made in USA, have a lower profile and are made fully of aluminum (except for the hardware). Front Runner racks are made in South Africa, can be either higher profiled (with tie down options even under the rack), or lower profiled, and are made with some stainless-steel components, therefore slightly heavier. Which one is better is hard to decide, so we leave that up to you and your vehicle’s needs.

Both have an extremely similar design, both are made in USA, and both are excellent companies. The main difference comes down to a few things: Prinsu roof racks have a more affordable price point, but Sherpa roof racks have a thicker aluminum side plate. Both are perfect for overlanding, but the choice in the material thickness comes down to your own personal preference.
