Best Roof Rack for a 2022 Toyota RAV4 with Flush Mount Rails
Question:
I'm looking for a roof rack that fits my 2022 Toyota RAV-4 that has the flush rails on the roof. What is the best roof rack? I'll be putting a cargo carrier on the roof rack.

I recommend installing the Thule WingBar Evo system on your 2022 Toyota RAV4. For the flush rails you'll need the following:
47" WingBar Evo Crossbars - Black # TH711220 or Silver # TH711200
Rapid Podium Feet - # TH460R
Fit Kit - # TH78RE
One-Key System - # TH450400 (optional)
I really like this roof rack system because it's easy to install and the WingBar Evo crossbars have an updated aero-style design to help cut down on wind noise and drag, and the rubber strip is actually split so that you can freely move any T-Slot mounted accessories without having to cut the strips.
If you don't already have a cargo carrier then I recommend checking out the Inno Roof Deck Platform Rack # INA520 because it's very easy to use and install, plus it has multiple anchor points to secure your cargo. I actually had the opportunity to test fit this on a 2019 RAV4 so I've linked that video for you to check out as well as an installation video of the Thule roof rack system on a 2020 RAV4 so you can see what that looks like once installed.
