I looked at the Inno as well as Yakima tower set-ups on etrailer. They range in capacity from 140lbs to 165lbs. That is less than the Lexus OEM bars. Rhino rack has a 3 bar system that can hold 220lbs.
I went with a 4 x 6 cargo trailer. Easier for me to hitch than putting on a roof rack and much easier to access items when on the road. That pretty much fixed all our cargo space issues.
Hello. I have a 2014 GX in black. Ironically with the same wheels as you. I've only seen them on one other GX on the road since I bought the truck new. In any case...
I just purchased a Yakima Skybox 21 and upon further inspection it looks like the fin antenna in the back may be an issue. Why I didn't think about this before is beyond me.
Have you (or anyone) noticed difficulties in this area?
curious if those are the factory rails/cross mounts. they look to be but wanted to be sure. want to have the same set up but concerned about the fin antenna. looks to clear in the pic.

Just to update this thread. I have the Stowaway2 Max Carrier with swing away frame. There are two hitch pin holes in the frame that insert into the receiver. So there are option to have the carrier close or farther away from the vehicle. They must have added a second set at some point, but it makes for options which is nice.

I will post a pic once I get a chance.
Kinda interested in getting one of these.
Can it be configured to swing out driver side? Most pics I see show it passenger side. If set for passenger side is it possible to open GX door fully with Stowaway2 behind it?

No it cannot, but with the Stowaway swung out to its maximum, you can open the rear door quite nicely.
I think I will pick one of these up. I like to put things on my rear carrier over top of vehicle. Appears to be "very" heavy duty. I've seen some cheaper options but not sure how long term stout they are.
Does this only open/swing one way? The G wagon in the video opens opposite the swinging hitch. I’m imagining the GX door hitting against whatever is being carried especially with kids or the SO opening it.
If it opens like this on a 4R it will be a win for me. The cargo on my carrier will always be above height of door. Scenario in pic will easily clear my rear door.
