Recommended Crossbars and Kayak Carriers for a 2017 Toyota RAV4 With Raised Rails
Question:
I have a 2017 Toyota RAV4 with factory rails. Looking for a cross bar system with kayak attachments to carry 2 kayaks that are each 30” wide. Can you recommend some options that will fit well with our vehicle? Thank you!

Helpful Expert Reply:
In order to carry two kayaks on a 2017 Toyota RAV4 you'll need to do so on their side with a j-style carrier. For this, I recommend the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier part # e98878 (QTY. 2). In order to attach the j-style carriers to the roof rails, I recommend the Curt Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails part # C18118.
