It sounds like you need a roof rack for your 2020 Toyota RAV4. We have a couple of options and the one you will want depends on what is currently on your roof. There are three options that your RAV4 could've come from the dealership with and I have listed them all below along with the necessary parts:

Factory installed raised rails that run front to back

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA126B-2

Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Raised Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 item # RRSX100

Flush mounted rails that run front to back

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA126B-2

Custom RCP Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack RC and RV Series Roof Rack Legs - Fixed Mounting Points item # RR42SV

RCH Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars and Pioneer Platforms - Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 4 item # RRRCH4

Naked roof no existing rails or crossbars

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA126B-2

Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 item # RRRLKVA

Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Naked Roof item # RR27QP

All of these roof racks are compatible with the Trunx Rooftop Cargo Carrier item # TRX44FR you were looking at but you may need to drill into it depending on where your crossbars line up once installed. This won't be an issue if you have any of the rails on your roof already but the naked roof option most likely won't work with this cargo box.

Instead you will want the Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box item # TH6357B. This is a larger cargo box that will be adjustable to fit a wider range of crossbar spread.

I have linked a review video below so you can see all of the features.
