The best roof rack for your 2019 Toyota 4Runner with raised side rails is from Thule and consists of:

- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 (Black) OR # TH711400 (Silver)
- Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710401

This roof rack is the best option for your '19 4Runner because it offers a unique combination of function, strength and style while remaining very quiet and easy to use. The WingBar Evo crossbars are aerodynamic with a tapered shape and have integrated WindDiffusers which minimize wind noise so you can drive in peace without the loud and annoying whistling noise that can occur with other crossbars. This aero shape is also what helps to give the WingBar Evo its graceful look atop your 4Runner.

The WingBar Evo is also simple to use; it has QuickAccess strips in its T-slots so you can use channel-mounted accessories easily, saving you the time and frustration that come with using crossbars that require you to cut the rubber trim that lies in the slot. All you have to do to mount any accessory in the T-slot of the WingBar is twist the SwingBlade end caps to reveal the slots and slide your accessory right in. You can see an example of how they bars look when open in the accompanying photo.

These crossbars obtain their strength and durability from their aluminum construction, which also keeps them rustproof. The WingBar Evo is so durable that it comes with a lifetime warranty to ensure you never have to worry about this bar wearing out over time - it won't.

For your surfboard I strongly recommend checking out the Thule SUP Shuttle # TH811XT because it is easy to use and includes all the needed tie-downs to carry your board. The SUP Shuttle uses brackets which simply clamp onto your crossbars and all you need to do is put your board on, tie it down and off you go. It can hold two surfboards, has a weight capacity of 110 lbs, is made in the USA and like the WingBar EVO, comes with a lifetime warranty.

I have added a link to a video review of the SUP Shuttle as well as a photo of the carrier for you to check out.
