Is it better to install a roof rack on the RAV4 or not?
1 Answers
The modification or installation of a roof rack should be determined by the intended use of the vehicle. Non-commercial cargo transportation is not restricted, and personalized storage for self-driving tours is also unrestricted as long as safety is ensured. Here is additional information: 1. Height standards: Regulations clearly state that for small and micro passenger vehicles, cargo can only be carried on the roof rack, excluding the trunk. The height from the roof should not exceed 50 centimeters, and the total height from the ground should not exceed 4 meters. Ordinary family vehicles such as MPVs, SUVs, ORVs, and sedans typically do not exceed the 4-meter standard. Moreover, the 50-centimeter vertical space from the roof, even for sedans, offers more storage capacity than the trunk, making the roof rack highly practical when utilized effectively. 2. Function of the roof rack: The primary purpose of a roof rack is for cargo transportation. During holidays or travel, it proves to be very useful, allowing you to carry many items without occupying space inside the car, which is very convenient.
