Question:

I was wondering what you have that will fit a 2024 Toyota Highlander Hybrid LE. This model does not have a raised rail but has hard mounts within the recess for the rail. Id like to put a platform or basket on top and an awning for car camping. Im not impressed with the OEM crossbars. Any thoughts or ideas you have would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for all the details!

We definitely have a way to get a cargo basket and an awning installed on your 2024 Toyota Highlander, although the aftermarket roof rack systems will use a clamping system with your door jambs instead of mounting via those recessed points in your roof.

For your application I recommend using a combination of the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack system along with the Rhino-Rack Pioneer cargo platform and the Rhino-Rack Batwing awning. This gives you a solid setup that is mid-tier when it comes to both pricing and functionality so you can enjoy some quality without breaking the bank. Here are the parts you'll need for this setup:

- 60" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711520
- Evo Clamp Feet # TH710501
- Fit Kit # TH98ZE
- 58" Long x 47" Wide Pioneer Platform Rack # RR42115BF
- Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning Standard # RR33200 or Compact # RR33400
