Expert Reply:

I recommend the Rhino Rack roof rack for your 2019 Toyota Highlander because the rack gives you aero shaped bars which will be very quiet, the racks are easy to install and well made, and because most roof racks that are nice as this cost quite a bit more.

Now if you have the flush mounted rails on your roof that run front to back you'd want the part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRCL4, and # RRRCP31-BK. Or, if you have a totally naked roof you'd want the part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRCH4, and # RRRCP37-BK.

Then for a kayak carrier I recommend the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073 because the rack is padded, can fold down when not in use, and if ever needed you could easily carry a second kayak.
