I just bought a Yakima cargo box with the exo system. I also got the top section add on with the optional table and or bike rack. This product is very solid and it is everything I thought it would be. My wife and I , love it. Thanks



by:

Thank you! This system is frankly awesome. It is very well made and let's me transport bikes in the truck bed and have covered storage that we can unlock and just carry into the hotel and pre pack in the garage or hotel the days before the trip.



by:

This system is great for when you need just a little more car than you have. These lockers work great, are 100% water proof and easy to remove to put on your other accessories.

This system is well worth the investment. It basically doubles your cargo room and is fairly simple to use, its just heavy!

@Kiley We're glad to hear that your # Y44VR Yakima GearLocker box is working well for you. It is pretty heavy!


by:

This rack works great. Yakima is top quality. Thank you to e trailer for making it easy to get.



by:

I like the versatility it gives us. It is lightweight, easy to maneuver, and sturdy. It slides and locks into the base easily and is easy to remove.

Perfect for extra storage for a long family road trip.

Great storage box with top quality engineering. Easy to use and really cool.



by:

Adam was very helpful and friendly. I received my gear box when stated and it was in good shape. No damage at all.



by:

This rating is all about the customer service. I haven’t used the gearbox yet. The service and assistance was great every step of the way. The Yakima exo system is sold out everywhere. So, there was extra assistance needed to check inventory. They did and were very helpful. I will certainly order from etrailer again.



by:

We love the entire Exo system and etrailer.com made it easy to get it to Alaska and in an extremely timely manner. They will be my number 1 goto from now on!



by:

I have not yet used this yet, but I’m sure it is going to work out fine. I would like to add the ordering process from etrailer, from start to finish was exceptional. I was constantly receiving updates not just for shipping but for predelivery and as well as post delivery. This is the first time I have ordered from etrailer And definitely will not be the last. Five stars for this company.

Pretty good container.

I still really like my Yakima Hitch Exo System. I think its a really cool system and gives me a lot of options when traveling. Somethings I would as Yakima to redesign , if they could.... 1- the Gear Box - because of the indentations in the molding of the box.. it is sometimes difficult to pack items that should fit, also this then impairs the ability to lock the box. It takes a lot longer for me to pack the Gear Box than it should.. 2. They should design a cover that goes over the locking knobs on the base to present dirt, salt , oil... from getting into the key locks 3-It would be a great design improvment if there were some sort of down legsstand on the base itself so that a single person could attach it to the hitch, instead of needing 2 people to perform that job.

  • Can You Put a Suitcase in the Gear Locker Cargo Carriers on the Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System
    The internal dimensions of the Yakima GearLocker Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y44VR used for the Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System # Y74ZR are 51-11/16" long x 17" wide x 14-5/8" tall. Those inside dimensions work for a good amount of suitcase sizes, but some of the larger suitcases likely will not fit. If your suitcase fits within those dimensions, then you can absolutely put it in the cargo carrier.

  • How to Secure the Yakima EXO Swing Away Cargo Carrier from Theft
    Yes, there is a way to secure the accessories to the Yakima EXO Swing Away Cargo Carrier item # Y72VR. The Swing Away base has Yakima's Same Key System (SKS) locks built in that secures the accessories to the base. These cores are included but can also be replaced to match other Yakima products with item # Y07204. I have attach a picture below that will show you this function. I have linked a review video below that walks threw all of the functions. For a theft-deterring anti-rattle hitch...

  • Yakima Modular EXO SwingBase Cargo System Compatibility On a 2022 Kia Carnival Minivan
    While we have not used the Yakima EXO SwingBase # Y34VR on your 2022 Kia Carnival we have used it on a 2020 Honda Odyssey(see video below), so I see no reason you will not be able to use this on your Kia. The base is mounted on the upper portion of the hitch that slides into the receiver tube. And the arms angle up to help reduce the chances of it contacting the ground on steep driveways or curbs. Here is a list of the accessories you can add to the EXO SwingBase. TopShelf for Yakima...

  • Can the Yakima EXO Swing Away 2 Bike Rack Be Used With Other Cargo Carriers
    The Yakima EXO Swing Away 2 Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches # Y54ZR is an excellent 2 bike rack option which can be used with or without a cargo basket. There are many other Exo system items that can be used with this system, one of which is an enclosed carrier box # Y44VR. However, your existing cargo carrier would not work with this system, only the EXO carriers. Check out the videos of this system. You can build from scratch or add to the # Y54ZR to meet your individual needs.

  • Can Gear Basket/Carrier be Added to Yakima EXO Swing Away Double Up Bike Rack
    The Yakima EXO systems are modular which means yes you can start with the Exo Double Up Bike rack part # Y92VR and then add components to allow you to also carry a gear locker/basket if you wanted to. The additional components you'd need would be: TopShelf # Y94VR GearLocker # Y44VR or GearWarrior part # Y37VR Its not hard to do by any means but the bike rack does have to go on the TopShelf so you'd have to lift the bikes higher.

  • Will Yakima EXO Swing Away Cargo Carrier Clear Doors on 2023 Roadtrek Zion on Ram ProMaster 3500
    The # Y62VR shouldn't have any issues clearing the doors on your 2023 Roadtrek Zion on the Ram ProMaster 3500 chassis. The extender # Y34VR measures 33" from the center of the receiver out to the arm if you want to measure just to be sure. I have attached a picture along with a link to a review below where a customer said it allows both doors to open for full access into the rear of the van. They have a Thor Sequence which is also built on the ProMaster 3500 chassis.

    I have an answer for you. Unfortunately, you will not be able to use your Stowaway 2 hitch with the Yakima GearLocker Enclosed Cargo Carrier for Modular EXO System - 10 cu ft # Y44VR on your 2019 Ram ProMaster 1500 because the bolt holes and the mounting locations on the box do not line up with the ones on your particular accessory. Also, from your provided photo of your accessory, it looks like there is a lip on the outer arm of the cradle. With these differences, any attachment of the...

  • Receiver Hitch and Yakima EXO Swing Away Bike Rack for a 2021 Mazda CX-5
    I would be happy to help you find a hitch receiver and a bike rack for your 2021 Mazda CX-5. I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver item # EH68VR. The EcoHitch Hidden trailer hitch is designed to be as inconspicuous as possible. The hitch's cross tube bolts onto your vehicle's frame behind your rear bumper. There is no drilling or welding required. Once the hitch is installed, only the 2" receiver will be visible beneath your bumper. I have attached a picture and an installation...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2021 Nissan Murano for a Bike Rack
    I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e98907 for your 2021 Nissan Murano because it has a matte black finish that helps it blend in with the trim on your Murano and helps to hide any scratches that might occur from road debris hitting it. Then for a bike rack I recommend checking out the Yakima EXO Swing Away 2-Bike Rack # Y92VR for a few reasons. The first is that the swing-away feature means you can gain complete access to your rear hatch area without removing your bikes, the...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver, Wiring Harness and Bike Rack for a 2003 Toyota RAV4
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13524 will not affect your ability to open or close the rear door on your 2003 Toyota RAV4. The receiver tube sits below the rear door so you will be able to still access your rear cargo. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118389 will give you the 4-way flat connection you need for the lights on your 4' X 8' utility trailer. I recommend routing the connection out through the floor of your RAV4 and mounting it to your receiver using the Mounting Brackets...

  • Can I Leave The Gear Locker Locked On The Exo Rack Overnight
    Yes, you can leave the Yakima GearLocker Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y44VR locked on the rack overnight and not run into any issues. The lock uses a same key system so it would be very hard to find a way to get into your box when you're not around it, though if they anyone tries hard enough they will still be able to get into it, nothing is 100% safe even locked up. The box is made out of a durable ABS plastic and has a premium, scratch-resistant automotive finish. I like this box over other...

  • Can a Single Cargo Box Yakima Swingaway Exo be Upgraded to Two Boxes
    Yes, you can start with just a single swing away cargo box with the Yakima Exo Swingaway Gear Locker # Y26VR and then you can add a second box to it with the TopShelf part # Y94VR and second box GearLocker # Y44VR and you'd have everything needed for it to be a two box setup like the # Y74ZR.

  • What Is The Purpose Of The Slide Pins Near The Handles On The End Of Yakima EXO Base?
    It sounds like you are referring to the locking pin near the handles on the Yakima EXO SwingBase # Y34VR. These pins lock and unlock the knobs from being able to open and close to remove and clamp down the accessories. This is in addition to lock on the knob itself. You can better see the operation of this pin in the instructions for EXO accessories like the GearLocker # Y44VR which I have linked near the bottom of the page.

The towing capacity of the car actually won't matter at all, it's the tongue weight capacity of the hitch that is important.
