PRINSU ROOF RACKS

Prinsu Roof Rack | Toyota RAV4 2019-2025

Choose Prinsu Pro for maximum capability, or Prinsu Original for the proven platform that made the brand famous.

The Prinsu Roof Rack for the 2019-2025 Toyota RAV4 transforms the factory roof into a low-profile, modular platform for bikes, skis, kayaks, cargo, recovery equipment, lighting, rooftop tents and adventure gear.

Both rack systems are designed around the same Prinsu philosophy: lightweight aluminium construction, a clean vehicle-specific fit, modular crossbars and the ability to configure the rack around the way you actually use your RAV4.

Choose your Rack Series, then select a Standard wind deflector or Light Bar Cutout.

Pro or Original? Both Are Real Prinsu.

The choice isn't between a good rack and a bad rack. It's about how much capability you need from the platform.

Prinsu Pro adds greater crossbar strength, increased rigidity, more integrated mounting points and higher published load capacity. Prinsu Original keeps the lightweight, modular design that has made Prinsu one of the most recognizable roof-rack systems in the adventure market.

MAXIMUM CAPABILITY

Prinsu Pro

More strength, more mounting flexibility and increased published capacity.

Crossbars rated by Prinsu as 44% stronger
6 integrated drop-in points per crossbar
Two-part side-rail design for increased rigidity
Corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware
Recessed bolt-on mounting feet
700 lb dynamic published rack rating
1,200 lb static published rack rating

Best for: rooftop tents, heavier overland builds, frequent rough-road travel, extensive accessory mounting and customers who want maximum capability from the Prinsu platform.

PROVEN PLATFORM

Prinsu Original

Lightweight, modular and proven across thousands of adventure builds.

High-quality aluminium construction
Black powder-coated finish
Custom modular crossbars
Built-in drop points for accessory mounting
Noise-reducing trim included
600 lb dynamic published rack rating
1,000 lb static published rack rating

Best for: daily-driven RAV4s carrying bikes, skis, kayaks, cargo, camping equipment and other adventure gear where value and modularity matter.

THE REAL DECISION

You Don't Automatically Need the Pro.

The Original Prinsu Rack remains a very capable platform. If your RAV4 is carrying bikes, skis, kayaks, cargo boxes or normal recreational equipment, it may be all the rack you need.

Move to Prinsu Pro when the rack becomes a more significant part of the build, particularly with rooftop tents, heavier accessory loads, frequent rough-road travel or when the additional mounting flexibility and structural rigidity have real value to you.

SECOND CHOICE

Standard or Light Bar Cutout?

CLEANEST CONFIGURATION

Standard

Choose the standard wind deflector when you are not planning to integrate a forward-facing light bar into the front of the rack.

LIGHT BAR READY

Light Bar Cutout

The cutout deflector creates space for a compatible forward-facing LED light bar integrated into the front of the rack.

Planning lighting later? Choosing the cutout now keeps that option open without changing your rack series.

FULLY MODULAR

Build the Rack Around Your Life.

A Prinsu rack isn't one fixed cargo solution. The crossbar system gives you a platform that can change as your RAV4 does.

PRINSU PRO

Engineered Beyond the Original.

The difference between Original and Pro isn't just visible on a specification sheet. The Pro architecture changes the crossbars, side rails, mounting points and hardware to create a stronger, more configurable roof-rack platform.

STRONGER CROSSBARS

44% More Strength

Prinsu rates the redesigned Pro crossbar architecture as 44% stronger, adding capability without abandoning the low-profile design that defines the rack.

TWO-PART SIDE RAILS

Strength + Mounting Flexibility

The reinforced two-part side-rail design increases rigidity while creating additional locations for mounting and configuring accessories.

LOW-PROFILE DESIGN

Engineered to Look Integrated

The Pro maintains Prinsu's close-to-the-roof profile while integrating its reinforced rail architecture into a clean, vehicle-specific finished rack.

6 Drop-In Points Per Crossbar

Six integrated drop-in locations give you more freedom to position gear and accessories without constantly sliding hardware in from the end of the bar.

Stainless Steel Hardware

Corrosion-resistant stainless hardware supports long-term durability through Canadian weather, road spray and year-round use.

Recessed Mounting Feet

The Pro mounting system is recessed into the side-rail architecture to maintain a cleaner and more integrated overall profile.

CAPACITY

Published Rack Load Ratings

Rack Series	Dynamic	Static
Prinsu Pro	700 lb	1,200 lb
Prinsu Original	600 lb	1,000 lb

Remember: the rack's published capacity does not override Toyota's vehicle or roof-load limits. The vehicle, rack configuration, accessories and cargo must all be considered when determining a safe load.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Prinsu Pro and Prinsu Original?

Prinsu Pro adds stronger crossbars, six integrated drop-in mounting points per crossbar, increased side-rail rigidity, stainless hardware and higher published rack load ratings. The Original remains Prinsu's proven lightweight modular platform.

Does this rack fit a RAV4 with a panoramic sunroof?

No. Prinsu specifies that the 2019-2025 RAV4 rack is not compatible with models equipped with the panoramic sunroof.

Do LE or XLE models require drilling?

Installation requirements can vary between rack series and RAV4 configuration. Contact Cap-it before ordering an LE or XLE application so fitment can be confirmed.

What does Light Bar Cutout mean?

The front wind deflector includes an opening designed to accommodate a compatible forward-facing LED light bar. Select Standard if you do not plan to integrate a light bar into the front of the rack.

Can I mount a rooftop tent on this Prinsu rack?

Prinsu racks are commonly used as rooftop-tent platforms. The complete installation must remain within Toyota's vehicle limits and the requirements of the tent, rack configuration and mounting hardware.

Can I add accessories later?

Yes. Modularity is one of the core advantages of the Prinsu platform. Crossbars and mounting points allow the rack to change as your equipment and adventures change.

Can Cap-it install my Prinsu roof rack?

Professional installation is available through participating Cap-it locations. Contact your nearest store for fitment confirmation and installation scheduling.

THE CAP-IT TAKE

Build the Rack for the RAV4 You Actually Use.

We wouldn't automatically put every RAV4 owner into the Prinsu Pro.

If you're carrying bikes, skis, kayaks, a cargo box or normal camping equipment, the Prinsu Original remains an excellent rack and leaves more of the budget for the gear you're putting on it.

If the roof rack is becoming a major part of the vehicle build, especially with a rooftop tent, heavier accessories, frequent rough-road travel or extensive mounting requirements, we'd choose the Prinsu Pro.

Choose based on the build, not simply the price tag.
