Don't own a car....and I'm not fussy about carrying a kayak on the roof of my truck.

Did you mean to say you *were* fussy about putting a kayak on the roof? There are numerous racks
made for the Highlander designed for carrying a kayak. My wife had a rack on her's for carrying
bicycles. She loved her little Highlander...thought it was a cute little car for a girl.
