Do you have a platform rack in a backbone mount system that will fit on my highlander xle 2019? Want a low profile rack. No crossbar. Thanks.

Helpful Expert Reply:

For a low profile platform style rack similar to a Rhino Rack Backbone System, the only available option is the Yakima Roof Rack and Platform System that uses parts # Y05045, # Y53TR, # Y05042-2, # Y00242. This kit combines the Yakima Lock N Load Platform # Y05045 and Yakima Skyline towers # Y53TR to give you the platform without a crossbar for the low profile setup you're looking for. The additional parts are for the footpack and adapters to allow you to mount the towers to your 2019 Highlander XLE and the mount the Lock N Load platform to the towers.

I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to check out, and I think this setup would look pretty great!
