Question:
on a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee: should I go with steel rails or aluminum? We have factory, flush, side rails without crossbars at the moment.

Expert Reply:
In regards to choosing between steel and aluminium crossbars, I recommend aluminium because they will be lighter and offer better protection from the elements. The steel crossbars do have higher weight capacities but this would not be a factor as you will be limited by the mounting feet anyway.
For a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Yakima JetStream Crossbar System part # Y00425, part # Y53TR, and part # Y00244 is what I recommend for models with black and chrome tracks or matte black and gloss black tracks.
