Hello Simon,
For your 2018 Toyota Prius Prime Advanced I recommend the Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - Qty 2 # Y49QB.
For a roof box, I really like the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Black # Y07192.
You will need to check your owners manual to see what the Prius roof is rated for as it is not publicly listed. Usually the Toyota sedans and hatchbacks range for 100- 165 pounds.
What are you going to be using your roof box for?
