Recommended Roof Rack Solution to Carry Box and Basket on 2017 Toyota Highlander
Question:
Ive got the OEM cross bars on our 2017 Toyota Highlander which will accommodate a roof basket OR a roof box - but what if I want both? Like a Yakima Skinnywarrier basket, and a narrow Thule box? Is there a wider bar set that I can transition to?

Expert Reply:
I may have a solution for you, but you would not be able to use the OEM crossbars and you would need to get an aftermarket set that extend outside of the raised side rails. For that I recommend using the Rhino Rack system for 2017 Toyota Highlander that uses parts # RRVA137B-2, # RRRCL4, # RRRCP31-BK, which will give you 54" long crossbars.
This would be wide enough to use a SkinnyWarrior # Y07014 and a Yakima Skybox # Y07334, which are both 24" wide.
