Yes, the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG216 will fit your 2015 Toyota RAV4 Limited and it provides the necessary overhang of 3-1/2" that is needed for the Yakima ShowDown Kayak or SUP Carrier part # Y04081. Therefore, you can use the Malone AirFlow2 to install the Yakima ShowDown on your Toyota RAV4. This is an excellent combo for you to carry your kayak as the ShowDown will help with loading and the Malone AirFlow2 provides minimal wind noise due to the aero shaped bars and it's easy to install. It also comes with locks.
