The Best Toyota Roof Racks

Toyota might call them luggage racks. Scion might refer to them as roof rails. Some even get called carriers or, in more specific cases, kayak racks or bike racks. Whatever you call a roof rack, you know it for what it does best: expanding a vehicle's hauling capacity considerably. If you're less familiar with what one is, however, there are several reasons you should have one.

Why a Roof Rack is Worth It

For one, they're resilient supports for cargo weight. Dependable load-bearing metals like steel and aluminum comprise most of their structure, and if you add crossbars, they'll help distribute that weight better.

Secondly, securing luggage to them is easy, thanks to plenty of available anchor points for tie-downs. Crank a winch between them, stretch a bungee cord, or tie a trucker's hitch with plain old rope, and you'll be ready to hit the road.

Finally, as hauling solutions go, they're appreciably simple. Assembly is easy: their main parts are usually modular towers and feet, and they often come with the fitting kit you need for installation, so everything comes together before you know it.
