2020 Lexus GX 460 Roof Rack Recommendation with 50" Aero-Style Crossbars

Question

Question:

I am looking at crossbars for a gx460 with factory flush rails. I am deciding between an Inno option or Yakima sightlines. Is there an Inno 50 rail that will mount to my existing flush rails and not fixed mounting points? thank you, its a 2020 gx460.

Hey Alex, thanks for reaching out!

The Inno Square Bar Roof Rack # IN99XR is the only one they have that's 50" long for your 2020 Lexus GX 460. The next closest thing if the Aero Roof Rack # IN67WR with 48" bars.

If you're really needing 50" bars and you'd prefer the aero-style crossbars (which I do recommend over the square style) then you'll need the Yakima SightLine Roof Rack for Flush Rails # Y73XD.

What are you planning on using the roof rack for?

Thanks, I would do the inno square bars but are they too noisy? Im not married to 50" And I am planning to use it occasionally/lightly, maybe a single kayak or a cargo box at most down the road. Possible mountain bike as well but that would likely go on a hitch. Thanks foe your advice,

@AlexC Yeah, the square bars are going to be noisier than the aero bars. All crossbars will produce some level of noise, but the quieter the better in my opinion. Do you already have a hitch and a hitch mount bike rack?

Answer 1

The only hitch mounted option wouldn't be an actual carrier, but a support like the Malone Axis #MAL32VR. This would require the installation of a trailer hitch like the #76138 you looked at. More than likely you won't need this to mount your…

Thanks for the picture! The 60" crossbars might be a bit wide. The roof racks with the longer crossbars are typically used for kayak carriers or people that need to mount two bike racks. I recommend going with more of a flush mount set up and we…

Those are some great questions, Dave. The Landing Pad 30 #Y25ZR will require you to remove the factory flush rails and the kit includes 6 mounts so you would be able to reposition the crossbars to front, middle or rear. Or you could get a 3rd…

The factory roof rack on the 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon has minimal options to fit the factory roof rack which is different than the factory side rails or flush mounted rails. You can use the Landing Pad 15 for Yakima Control Towers - Qty 4 #Y00241…
