Helpful Expert Reply:
In order to carry rooftop accessories like a cargo box or kayak carrier on a 2017 Toyota RAV4 you'll need a roof rack. The correct roof rack for this vehicle will come down to the roof type. If you have a bare roof (no side rails) then I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System part # RRVA126B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK449 which uses clips that attach inside the door jambs. This system has aero shaped bars which provides the least amount of noise/drag and they have channels for use with channel mounted accessories which are easier to install than the wrap-around style.
