How To Carry a Cargo Box and Two Kayaks On a 2015 Toyota Highlander with Flush Rails

Question:

I have a 2015 highlander with no factory cross bars. Looking to mount a Malone 18b and 2 kayak racks on the roof. Looking at the 54 inch wide bars. Will they both fit? I have to j-style kayak racks.

In order to carry a cargo box and two j-style kayak carriers on a 2015 Toyota Highlander with flush rails you'll need to use at least a 70" crossbar. The problem with this is that most crossbars only have a certain amount of channel underneath to attach to the mounting feet so you can't just use order a larger bar. The Yakima Corebar however does not have this channel underneath so you can use part # Y00423 with part # Y53TR and part # Y00242 to fit all your accessories.
