    If I purchase Toyota Part number:

    PW301-47005

    Will I need anything else for the roof rack? Or does this kit include everything?

    Thanks!

    I just now bought this rack. It includes everything to assemble and place.
    Use this youtube video for directions on how to put it together:



    (The video mentions of having a rack bag + protective film for holes, but I ignored that I did not have those)

    Buy the oem toyota rack. I picked mine up for 299 at a local dealership, and it was so easy to install. It's made by thule so i was able to buy t bolts to secure my bike rack and cargo carrier straight to the bars

    Shop around. Check a variety of Toyota dealers that sell over the internet. They each seem to offer different discounts.
    Looks like about 20% off is you best deal at the moment...Here's an example link...Several dealers I saw had the same price.
    Roof Cross Bars - Toyota (PW301-47005) | Boch Toyota South

    My understanding is that the kit is complete but I did not install them myself.
    My prime actually came with the rack as an added option that the dealer never installed but since I didn't want it, I sold it to someone on this forum. That's another option as others may have ended-up with racks they didn't need.

    Just installed this, not hard at all. Would recommend people shop around online for free shipping no tax. I did and saved a bunch. Was about $255 shipped no other costs. Good quality rack. For others reference the part number above is the only item you need to buy.

    For those who installed, what is the impact on mpg?
