Sherpa Crestone Roof Rack for 2010-2024 Toyota 4Runner
Sherpa Crestone Roof Rack for 2010-2024 Toyota 4Runner
✓ Drill-Free. Zero Vehicle Modification.
The Crestone mounts to factory locations on your 5th Gen 4Runner. No drilling, no cutting, and zero modification to the vehicle. Mounting brackets ship with rubber seals, so nothing permanent happens to your roof. That matters for warranty, for resale, and for not creating a leak you then spend a summer chasing.
This is the full-length 4Runner roof rack Sherpa built its reputation on, and after 250+ reviews it is still the 5th gen 4Runner roof rack owners keep coming back to. It spans 95 inches with 9 extrusion crossbars, carries 300 lbs dynamic and 700 lbs static, and installs without drilling a single hole.
As a 4Runner full length roof rack it covers the whole roof rather than a partial section. Construction is 1/4 inch aircraft-grade aluminum side panels with stainless steel hardware throughout. Secure gear by bolting into any of the nine crossbars or by strapping directly to the side plates. It ships in black textured powder coat with black anodized crossbars and black oxide stainless hardware, and includes two adjustable leveling mounts so you can dial the rack flat on an uneven roofline. Choose a Full Height wind fairing for maximum air deflection or a Half Height fairing sized to sit flush with a single-row light bar, both at the same price. Manufactured in Colorado. Lifetime Warranty.
The PEAK Series
Industry leading premium roof rack systems. The PEAK series is the go-to for a premium aluminum roof rack. It is the line that Sherpa built its name on, and for years it has carried the gear of the most extreme adventurers. Sherpa believes in the constant evolution of their products, building the toughest systems on the market. From industry-leading alloys to uncompromising mounts with rubber seals, you will always Adventure with Confidence.
Crafted
Manufactured in Colorado with precision laser-cut 1/4" aluminum sideplates formed with CNC accuracy by Sherpa's team of professionals. They have created a very stout mounting structure, secured with stainless steel hardware, that will keep your gear where you need it. The 1/4 inch aircraft-grade aluminum is thicker than most competing racks, which is where the strength comes from without the weight penalty of steel.
Adaptable
Sherpa knows the importance of mounting all of your goodies on your rig. With the PEAK Series, you have the ability to mount just about anything, anywhere. With slots and holes all over the rack, plus Sherpa's line of accessories, you will never find yourself wishing you could mount something. Bolt into any of the nine black anodized extrusion crossbars, or strap gear directly to the side plates.
Durable
Strength is built into Sherpa's brand and the PEAK System is what they built their name on. Using the best in materials and hardware, you can beat on this system every weekend and trust it to show up to work on Monday. The 300 lb dynamic and 700 lb static ratings handle a full rooftop tent setup with occupants and gear. All backed by Sherpa's Lifetime Warranty, just in case you get a little too western.
Two Adjustable Leveling Mounts
The Crestone includes two adjustable leveling mounts, which is a detail most racks skip. Vehicle rooflines are rarely perfectly flat, and these let you dial the rack level rather than accepting whatever angle the factory mounting points produce.
That matters in two places. A level rack means a rooftop tent sits square when deployed rather than at a slight tilt you notice at 2am. And it means load spreads evenly across the four mounting brackets instead of concentrating on whichever corner sits proud.
Which Fairing Is Right for You?
Sherpa's full height fairing is built for people who do not want to put a light bar on their rack. The half height fairing is made so you can fit a single row light bar while keeping everything flush. Both cost the same, so this is purely a build decision.

Pros
- Completely drill-free with rubber-sealed brackets, so nothing permanent happens to the vehicle
- Full 95 inch length with 9 crossbars, covering the entire roof rather than a partial section
- 300 lbs dynamic / 700 lbs static handles a rooftop tent with occupants and gear
- 1/4" aircraft-grade aluminum sideplates, thicker than most competing racks
- Two adjustable leveling mounts let you dial the rack flat on an uneven roofline
- Bolt into the crossbars or strap directly to the side plates, so the 4Runner rack adapts to whatever you carry
- Choice of Full or Half Height fairing at the same price
- Fits the entire 2010-2024 5th Gen run, so this Toyota 4Runner roof rack suits most 4Runners on the road
- Only ~50 lbs, made in Colorado, Lifetime Warranty, and 250+ reviews behind it
Cons
- Fits the 2010-2024 5th Gen only. For a 2025 or newer 6th Gen, you need the Capitol
- 300 lb dynamic rating is lower than roll-cage-mounted systems that reach 500 lbs. That is a limitation of roof-mounted racks generally, not of the Crestone
- Fairing choice is made at purchase, so switching later means buying the other fairing separately
- The C4 Fab Summit Hatch Ladder is not included and is sold separately
Frequently Asked Questions
Does installation require drilling?
No. The Crestone is drill-free and requires zero modification to your 4Runner. It mounts to factory locations using four brackets that ship with rubber seals, and all required hardware is included. Nothing permanent happens to the vehicle, which matters for warranty and resale. A full install guide and video walkthrough are available above, and most owners handle it in an afternoon.
Does it fit my 4Runner year?
This roof rack for 4Runner fits 2010 through 2024, which is the entire 5th Generation run. If you have a 2025 or newer 4Runner, that is the fully redesigned 6th Gen and needs the Capitol instead. Call us at 844-200-3979 if you are unsure which generation you have and we will confirm in a minute.
Can I mount a rooftop tent on it?
Yes. With 300 lbs of dynamic capacity and 700 lbs of static capacity, the Crestone handles most rooftop tents plus occupants and gear. The 95 inch by 47.5 inch platform with nine crossbars accommodates full-size hardshell and softshell tents. Check your tent's closed weight against the 300 lb dynamic rating for driving, and remember the 700 lb static figure is what applies once you are parked and sleeping. Browse our rooftop tent collection here.
Which fairing should I choose?
Choose Full Height if you are not running a light bar. It has a taller smooth face that deflects the most air for the quietest ride. Choose Half Height if you want a single-row light bar to sit flush with the fairing line rather than proud of it. Both cost the same, so this is purely a build decision. If a light bar is anywhere in your future plans, Half Height saves you buying a second fairing later.
What are the leveling mounts for?
Vehicle rooflines are rarely perfectly flat, and the two included leveling mounts let you dial the rack level rather than accepting whatever angle the factory mounting points produce. That matters for how a rooftop tent sits when deployed, and for spreading load evenly across the four mounting brackets rather than concentrating it on whichever corner sits proud.
Does it include a ladder?
No. The C4 Fab Summit Hatch Ladder is a popular pairing with the Crestone but it is a separate product and sold separately. If you plan to access the rack regularly, whether for a rooftop tent or just for loading gear, a hatch ladder is worth budgeting for alongside the rack. Call us at 844-200-3979 and we will sort out what you need.
