Are you running out of space in your Toyota Sequoia? You got a big SUV for a reason, but between family, coolers, and camping equipment, the interior fills up fast. You’re forced to leave essential gear behind, compromising your adventure. You worry about complex installations that require drilling into your roof, noisy racks that drone on the highway, and high-end gear that breaks the bank.

The upTop Overland Kilo Roof Rack was engineered to eliminate these frustrations. It's the smart, simple, and strong solution to unlock your Sequoia's true cargo-hauling potential, letting you carry what you need without the hassle.

Kilo Roof Rack That is USEFUL, ADAPTABLE, and AFFORDABLE

• Solve Your Space Problem (USEFUL): Stop playing gear-tetris. The Kilo rack is built to carry the mainstays of your adventure. With a dynamic (moving) load rating of 250 lbs and a massive static (parked) rating of 850 lbs, it can safely transport everything from rooftop tents and kayaks to recovery gear and supply cases. Your gear rides securely on top, freeing up valuable cabin space.

• Grows With Your Adventures (ADAPTABLE): Your needs change, and your roof rack should change with you. The Kilo’s modular design makes it easy to add accessories as you push further off-grid. Easily mount light bars, scenePODS, and grab handles whenever you're ready. The proprietary adaptive windscreen can be configured with or without a light bar at any time, ensuring a quiet, streamlined ride in any setup.

• Quality You Can Afford (AFFORDABLE): Premium gear doesn't have to come with a premium price tag. Through smart design, carefully sourced materials, and efficient Colorado-based manufacturing, the Kilo rack delivers exceptional value. Best of all, installation is a breeze—no drilling required. You can assemble and install it yourself in under an hour with basic hand tools, saving you money on shop fees.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect mounting hardware regularly – check bolts, clamps, and brackets for tightness, corrosion, or wear; re-tighten as needed.

• Clean the rack frequently – use mild soap and water to remove dirt, dust, and road grime; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

• Check alignment and clearance – ensure the rack is properly seated and does not interfere with the roof, roof rails, or vehicle components.

• Lubricate moving or adjustable parts – keep hinges, sliding mounts, or attachment points smooth and free of corrosion.

• Monitor load limits – do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended weight capacity; distribute cargo evenly across the rack.

• Inspect after heavy use or off-road trips – check for dents, bends, cracks, or loose components.

• Secure cargo properly – use quality straps or tie-downs to prevent shifting during transit.

• Protect from prolonged exposure – cover the rack or remove cargo when parked for extended periods to reduce UV and weather-related wear.
