I recommend using the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar System composed of part # TH711320, part # TH49SC, and part # TH78RE on your 2019 Toyota RAV4 for the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Roof Rack part # TH898. This is an excellent, custom fit bolt-on system that provides you with aero crossbars that are great for hauling all your favorite rooftop mounted accessories. The aero crossbars are also very quite and don't affect mpg's near as much as other shapes.
