The EUV
(Electric Utility Vehicle)
The factory Rav4 Roof Racks (Toyota PN: PTT444-42000) are a great bargain and work well for carrying the stuff that won't fit inside The only shortcoming is that the anchors are loose pieces that can easily be lost, and the rack spread is marginal. But hey, they look great and are relatively cheap and functional, so there isn't much to complain about! I eventually sold the factory racks (no longer available!) and installed Yakima Tracks to my roof. Then I built a utility trailer, then built and assembled a Sportsrig trailer.
Here is what an 11' orchard ladder looks like
on the Rav.

Something you don't see every day. Three toilets headed to the dump (the neighbors wouldn't let me use them as planters in the front yard).
