Question:
I do not currently have crossbars as I want to get an SUP carrier first. I am short and old female so i cannot lift it by myself. Will this work on a rav4 and do you sell crossbars this will work on?

I have the perfect solution for a lift assist so you can get your SUP on top of your 2021 Toyota RAV4. The cradles on the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 won't fit correctly with a SUP so for your application I recommend going with the Yakima ShowDown # Y04081 instead. The ShowDown will help with up to 30-45% of the weight of your SUP and it adjusts down at the side of the vehicle so it's easier to load your SUP.
For a roof rack we have a few options depending on if you have the flush rails or the raised rails on your roof. I really like the Inno roof rack systems because they are high quality yet still cost-effective. Here is what you will need for your 2021 RAV4 for each rail type:
Flush Rails
51" and 54" Inno Aero Crossbars - # INXB130-138
Inno Through Feet - # INXS350
Fit Kit - # IN33FR
Raised Rails
51" Inno Aero Crossbars - # INXB130-2
Inno Through Feet - # INXS150
