Expert Reply:

To be able to mount the Yakima LockNLoad platform rack to your 2022 Toyota Highlander you're going to need to add a set of crossbars with the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425, and the SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR, and the Landing Pad 28 for Yakima SkyLine And Control Towers # Y66VR.

I know you mentioned you have OEM crossbars, but most of the time people get roof rails and crossbars mixed or they use them interchangeably when they are not the same. If you do actually have crossbars, then you can ignore this part and won't actually need anything else to mount the LockNLoad platform rack.

As far as picking out the right platform rack for your Highlander, it's really going to depend on how big your roof is. The Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars # Y05045-39 is a pretty popular size measuring 60" long and 54" wide, which I find to have the right amount of space without being too large.
