Recommended Roof Rack For Carrying a Kayak On a 2023 Toyota RAV4 Factory Raised Roof Rails  

Question:

Expert Reply:

I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack for your 2023 Toyota RAV4 with the factory raised side rails. The Crossbars # TH711420 will connect to the rails with the Feet # TH450R for a simple installation and removal when not needed. These crossbars have a 2-piece channel seal which allows you to easily install a kayak carrier without having to remove and trim the rubber seals.

I recommend using the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Roof Rack # TH898 as it will allow you to strap in your kayak at a comfortable height and then raise it onto the roof of your RAV4. The rack is capable of mounting in the channels on the crossbars making it easy to install and adjust on your roof.

The Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450800 will give you 8 lock cores. You will be able to use 4 of them to secure the roof rack feet to your RAV4 and the other 4 can be used on accessories like the above Kayak carrier which will use 2 of the locks.
