Will 50 inch Thule Crossbars Fit a 2021 Toyota RAV4 with Flush Rails
Question:
We have 2 Old Town Loon 100 kayaks that we’ve hauled on 48” length Yakima round crossbars on our Subaru Outback no special kayak carrier, just tied down. Now we need to set up a roof rack system on our new 2021 Toyota RAV4 XSE hybrid. Etrailer has verified the 47” Thule Wingbar Evo, but not the 50”. We’d like as much space as we can. Will 50” work on our 2021 Toyota RAV4 w/flush rails? Any issues?Will etrailer ever be verifying the 50”?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, the 50" Thule crossbars will fit your 2021 Toyota RAV4 just fine. I recommend using the WingBar Evo crossbars as they give you the aerodynamic style for better performance. Here are the parts you'll need:
50" WingBar Evo Crossbars - # TH711320
Evo Fixpoint Feet - # TH49SC
Fit Kit - # TH78RE
Lock Core Kit - # TH450400 (optional)
If you're interested in using a kayak carrier I recommend using the etrailer # e98878 which is a J-Style carrier with a 150 lb weight capacity so it can handle your kayaks no problem!
Attached is a review video of this carrier for you to check out!
