Best Roof Rack for 2020 Toyota Highlander with Naked Roof

Question:

What do you think is the best roof rack that fits my 2020 Toyota Highlander? I don't have anything on the roof right now, it has no rails or anything.

If this were my 2020 Toyota Highlander the roof rack I would put on it would be Yakima because it will give you a larger amount of crossbar space than most racks so you can hold the most gear, it is extremely quiet, highly durable and looks fantastic. The rack that fits your 2020 Toyota Highlander with a naked roof is made up of the following parts:

- Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426 (Black) or # Y00429 (Silver)
- BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y00146
- BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06153 and # Y06132
- Same Key System Lock Cores (Optional) # Y07204

The 60 inch length of the JetStream crossbars is going to give you ample space to use more accessories than other bars, be that a bike rack, kayak carrier or rooftop cargo box. The aero shape of these bars, along with their built-in WindRidges, is also what ensures that this roof rack minimizes the wind noise that other types of crossbars can create.

The crossbars are also extremely strong, as evidenced by their 165 lb capacity and lifetime warranty, which means they can be the last crossbars you'll ever need to buy. I do recommend the Lock Cores # Y07204 to lock the rack to your Highlander and help protect your investment. I have added links to video reviews for you to take a look at as well.
