We definitely have a crossbar setup for your vehicle if you do not have fixed mounting points on your 2022 Toyota RAV4. For that system, I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B. Since the Monkey Bars attach with vacuum mounts onto your bare roof, they involve the fastest installation and removal process out of any crossbar system we carry here at etrailer. They also come with an impressive 150-pound weight capacity. With a pull strength of 210 pounds per cup, you can rest assured that there is enough grip on the cups to withstand highway speeds. The Monkey Bars are also compatible with most clamp-on accessories such as bike racks, cargo boxes, and kayak carriers.

In order to protect your investment, I recommend using the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891 along with the SeaSucker Window Anchor # 298-BA0010.

I went ahead and attached some demonstration videos for you to check out.
