Recommended Roof Rack And Paddleboard Carrier For 2015 Lexus NX 300h With Naked Roof
Question:
I have a 2015 Lexus NX300h and it has no rails on the roof. I am looking for roof rack that can be attached to the roof with no rails. I saw 3 options with the Inno brand on your website. Which do you recommend? I intend to use it to carry stand up paddle boards.

All three of the Inno roof racks will work well on your 2015 Lexus.
The difference between the roof racks are the crossbars and feet. Our least expensive roof rack features square crossbars, while the other two roof racks have aerodynamic bars. All three roof racks have the same weight capacity at 140 lbs.
Since aerodynamic crossbars will mean less wind noise and drag I recommend the NX 300h roof rack. To order this roof rack you will need part # INXB138-145, part # INXS250, and part # INK455.
If the wind noise is no problem for you then the square bar roof rack will work well. For that roof rack you would need part # INB137, part # INSUT, and part # INK455.
If you go with the Aero roof rack the paddleboard carrier I recommend is part # INXA445. This carrier installs in the T-slots of the Aero crossbars.
If you decide on the square bar roof rack the paddleboard carrier I recommend is part # INA445. This carrier will let you carry 1 canoe or kayak or 2 stand-up paddleboards.
