Just got a 2019 T4R. It's going to be a daily driver, but also needs to fulfill adventure duties. So I'm having a hard time finding the right roof rack. I had a FrontRunner Slimline on my 2016 Tacoma, but it slaughtered the MPGs. It wasn't a big deal because the Tacoma wasn't a DD. But things changed and I got rid of the Tacoma. I like a lot of the rack offerings, but what I'd really like is a rack which can be left off the T4R for most of the time, but that I can easily plop on the roof when we get ready for a trip. It also should be nearly a full length rack. So far the ARB is really the only thing I see which is easily removable. I'd have to drill and rivet in a groove track which would allow me to install the rack easily. And the fact the rack is aluminum is a big plus. Most of the larger racks I've looked at are pretty much permanent solutions. I don't care for the little basket racks put out by Yakima and Thule. Hoping maybe some of you guys know of some other solutions.
I’m also considering the 7/8 Prinsu rack as many of you who have it say it has minimal impact on MPGs. I really like the Gobi but I think the MPG hit isn’t worth it. I will be driving about 70 miles per day.
