Best Racks for Toyota 4Runner

The Toyota 4Runner has raised roof rails (visible gap between rail and roof). Factory rails are present, so you need crossbars that clamp onto the rails (Thule WingBar Evo or Yakima JetStream are top choices). We found 100 compatible products.

Yes, the 4Runner comes with factory-installed roof rails. These rails serve as mounting points for aftermarket crossbars. You still need crossbars — the rails alone won't hold cargo racks, bike racks, or carriers.

The 4Runner does not come with a factory hitch. You'll need an aftermarket hitch receiver installed (typically $150-300 plus installation) before using hitch-mount bike racks. Alternatively, roof-mount bike racks work with crossbars.

For the 4Runner with raised rails, use Thule Evo Raised Rail feet (710401) with WingBar Evo crossbars, or Yakima TimberLine towers with JetStream bars. No vehicle-specific fit kit is needed — the feet clamp directly onto the raised rails.
