Question:
I would like to know your recommendation for my 2017 Prius V. Primary use would be to transport an occasional piece of plywood, lumber and pvc pipe for short distances. Occasionally carrying a kayak but again short distance and certainly never at highway speeds. Thank you,

Helpful Expert Reply:
Since most people get a Prius for the fuel mileage advantage, the best roof racks for the vehicle are ones that have aero shaped bars since they provide the least amount of wind resistance which gives the best fuel mileage.
So for a roof rack confirmed to fit with aero bars for occasional use the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK195 would be my recommendation.
