Since you asked for the two top options for your 2016 Toyota Highlander with a naked roof, I'll go ahead and list out all the parts for the two best, which are from Yakima, and Rhino-Rack:

Yakima Roof Rack
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Black # Y00426
- BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR
- BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06130

Rhino-Rack Roof Rack
- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2
- RCH Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars # RRRCH4
- Custom RCP Fit Kit # RRRCP37-BK

Among these options the best rack for your Highlander is the option from Rhino-Rack, because the crossbars are super quiet, it is easy to install and use, and gives the best overall value due to its combination of quality and price. With Rhino-Rack you are getting a rack that is just as high-quality as other brands, but at a more economical price point.
