Helpful Expert Reply:

If you don't have a set of crossbars that run from left to right on the roof of your 2016 Toyota Highlander you will need to have a set installed so that you can carry a folding kayak carrier like the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073.

If you have flush mounted rails on the roof of your 2016 Toyota Highlander you would want the part # RRVA137B-2, # RRRCL4, and # RRRCP31-BK and you would be set.

If you have a totally naked roof you instead would want the part # RRRS611B.

Both of these racks would fit the # Y04073 which would be a great option for a carrier that comes with straps needed to secure it.
