How To Carry 2 Kayak And A SUP On A 2021 Toyota RAV4
Question:
Hi etrailer team! I have a new XLE RAV4 Hybrid 2021 with flush side rails that I would like to get a roof rack and cross bars for. I have never had a rack before, but would like to have the option to put 1 SUP and 2 Kayaks at its max, and foldable to fit in a garage. What would you recommend? Thanks!

I can get that rack setup for you. I recommend a Yakima offering. It will consist of the following;
Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2, part # Y00425,
SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Fixed Mounting Points, Flush Rails, and Track Systems - Qty 4, part # Y53TR,
Landing Pad 23 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers - Qty 4, part # Y98FR,
Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores (QTY 4), part # Y07204.
This rack has t-channel, so it can work with all channel mounted accessories as well as those accessories that clamp to crossbars. The crossbars are elliptical in shape to help reduce wind noise and help with fuel efficiency. The lock cores will allow you to lock the rack to your vehicle.
My recommendation for a kayak/SUP carrier is the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style or Post Style - Folding - 1 or 2 Kayaks, part # Y04073. You can carry one kayak on a j-style carrier or two kayaks in the vertical position. This carrier can be folded down when not in use. It comes with two cam straps and bow and stern tie downs. In order to carry your SUP I recommend the Yakima SUPDawg Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - 2 Boards, part # Y04075. You can carry up to two SUPs. This rack has built in straps and a tie down anchor. The rack can also be secured to your vehicle with the same lock cores.
I have included product description links and video review links below.
