Question:

I want a roof rack system for my 2022 Toyota Highlander with a bare roof, and would really like aero bars. Do you have any options for my vehicle? I would also like a kayak carrier.

We sure do!

For your 2022 Toyota Highlander I recommend the Yakima Roof Rack System which uses 60" Yakima JetStream Crossbars in Black # Y00426, Yakima Base Line Towers # Y28TR, BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06153, and BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06132. I do also recommend adding the Yakima Same Key System Lock Cores # Y07204 to the towers to keep them secured to the roof of your Highlander.

This system will give you 60" of useable crossbar space with a 165lb weight capacity which will be perfect for a a wide variety of accessories. Since you mentioned you were wanting a kayak carrier as well I recommend taking a look at the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073 as it allows you to transport one 80lb kayak or two kayaks totaling 110lbs with a single carrier. If you do have two kayaks you will also need additional tie-downs # Y04031 to secure the kayak to your vehicle.

I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
