Hey there Shawn, I am happy to report to you that yes, your 2017 Toyota RAV4 with raised side rails is 100 percent compatible with the Malone AirFlow2 roof rack. I am even more happy to tell you that yes, it will hold your 110 lb rooftop tent so you're set. Also, just in the interest of being thorough, the 50 inch Malone bars are available in both Silver and Black in case you liked one color more than the other. Here are the part numbers for both:

- Silver: Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215

- Black: Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MAL74AR
