I did some research and it appears that the factory crossbars on your 2016 Toyota Highlander have an aero shape. Therefore, as long as your crossbar spread 20" and 37" apart, I recommend using theThule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 150 lbs # TH859XT.

The basket measures 49" long x 40" wide x 6" deep". It comes with a lifetime warranty and weighs 29 lbs.

I have attached a review video of the carrier for you as well.
