Carrying Long Boats on the Roof of a 2014 Toyota Sienna with Factory Roof Rack

Updated 05/11/2017 | Published 05/10/2017

Question:

I transport very long boats and need to put one rack on the roof in front of the factory installed side bars. I have been searching for a product that fits. Ive used Yakima products in the past but not opposed to changing. Any idea if one of the Yakima Q clips would fit? Thanks!

Unfortunately we don't have any roof racks that are confirmed to fit your 2014 Toyota Sienna other than installing them onto the existing rails. However, I may have another option that could work for you.

You can use a hitch mounted load extender like the Rhino-Rack # RTL002. This will basically create an additional crossbar behind the van for the long boats to mount on. I've linked a video of the T-Load installed.

If your Sienna doesn't have a trailer hitch receiver already you can use the Draw-Tite # 75237. There's a video of the hitch attached as well. It bolts onto the van's frame without any drilling required.
