Best 2016 Toyota RAV4 Roof Rack Options

What's going on everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at your best roof rack options for your 2016 Toyota RAV4. Today, we're gonna go over the different kinds of bars that we have available, the different style clamps that are gonna secure it to your roof and some of the different features that come with some and not with others. I've messed with a lot of different roof racks over the years being here at etrailer. And a lot of the times, some of the more premium options aren't really the best options. They don't really come with everything you need like these Thule or some of the Yakima systems.



Thule Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2016 Toyota RAV4

Today on our 2016 Toyota Rav4, we're going to be test fitting the Thule complete crossroad kit with 58 inch long load bars, part number TH45058. You can also buy these in separate pieces as part number THLB58 and part number TH450. The Thule square bar roof rack system is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your roof while freeing up space inside your vehicle. It can carry bike racks, cargo baskets, cargo boxes, ski and snowboard carriers as well as kayak carriers. The two bars have a combined carrying capacity of 165 pounds. However, you want to double check with your vehicles manual to make sure your roof can withstand that weight. With these square bars Thule does offer fairings, which are sold separately, which will cut down wind noise and drag while your driving.



Yakima Roof Rack Review - 2016 Toyota RAV4

Today on our 2016 Toyota RAV 4, we're going to be test fitting the Yakama core bar roof rack system, consisting of part numbers Y00421. These are the 50 inch long Yakama core bar crossbars, part number Y00147. These are the timberline towers for the Yakama crossbars, particularly for factory raised side rails. The Yakama core bar roof rack system is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your roof while freeing up space inside your vehicle, ranging from bike racks to cargo baskets to kayak carriers. The two bars have a combined carrying capacity of 220 pounds, although you'll always want to double check with your vehicles manual to make sure your roof can withstand that weight. The bars have a nice aerodynamic shape to them which will cut down wind noise and drag while you're driving, and they're very sturdy. The ends of our towers here also have knock-outs which you can replace with the Yakama sync key system, which is sold separately, to you can secure it to your cross rails once you have it installed. Now that we've gone over some features of the roof rack system, let's go ahead and show you how it installs. We already have a rear bar partially assembled on our table here, so our next step is to flip our bar upside down, and install our timberline on the other end of our core bar.



Thule Roof Rack Review - 2016 Toyota RAV4

Today on our 2016 Toyota Rav4, we're going to be test fitting the Thule AeroBlade roof rack system, consisting of part numbers THARB53. These are the Thule AeroBlade Load Bars 53 inches long. They also come in black as part number THARB53B. We'll also be using part number TH450R and these are the Thule Rapid Crossroad Roof Mounted Foot Packs to fit on your raised side rails. The Thule AeroBlade roof rack system is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your roof, while freeing up space inside your vehicle. It can carry bike racks, cargo baskets, closed cargo boxes, as well as ski and snowboard carriers and kayak carriers. The two bars have a combined carrying capacity of 165 pound, although you always want to double check with your vehicle's manual to make sure it can withstand that weight. It does come with a rubber strip at the top and that coupled with the aerodynamic shape of the bar, will cut down wind noise and drag while you're driving.



Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack Installation - 2016 Toyota RAV4

Today on our 2016 Toyota RAV4, we're going to be test fitting the Thule AeroBlade Edge roof-rack system, consisting of part numbers TH7502-TH7502. These are designed for factory-ready side rails. These also come in black as part number TH7502B-TH7502B. The Thule AeroBlade Edge roof-rack system is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your roof while freeing up space inside your vehicle. It also has a nice factory look to it and sits very low profile with your roof. The two bars have a combined carrying capacity of 165 pounds, although you want to double check with your vehicle's manual to make sure it can withstand that weight. On the tops here, you see they have these knockouts where you can actually replace these with Thule lock core, which are sold separately, so you can secure this to your factory-ready side rails. Also, we have these rubber strips at the top and that, coupled with the aerodynamic shape of the bar, will cut down wind noise and drag while you're driving and also enable you to use T-track accessories.

What we want to do is, we'll go ahead and take that crossbar, I've already got one side installed, because it's really that easy. For this side here, let's go ahead and remove that end cap, and set that aside for now.
