• Can I Swap Out Ski Carriers on the Yakima EXO Swing Away System?
  The ski carrier item # Y57VR that comes with the Yakima EXO Swing Away Ski and Snowboard Carrier item # Y94ZR has a specially designed base that only works with the Swing Away System. That makes other carriers like the Yakima FatCat EVO item # Y03095 incompatible with the EXO system because they don't have this base.

• How to Lock All Yakima Accessories w/ the Same Key
  Hey Bob! Not sure what locks you're talking about but I saw you previously purchased the Yakima EXO Swing Away item # Y54ZR and the Yakima SnowBank Ski and Snowboard Carrier item # Y57VR. A great perk of Yakima's products is you can buy larger lock core kits 6 item # Y07206 or 8 item # Y07208 and have all your Yakima accessories controlled by the same key. If this isn't the lock system you're looking for, go ahead and comment below with some more information about what you're wanting to...

• Is The Yakima EXO Swing Away Compatible With My Trailer Hitch?
  What you have there is a Curt class 3 trailer hitch. You are correct that it is the standard 2" receiver. This is very common to see on the Ram Promaster vans like your 2021 Winnebago Travoto. The Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System w/ 2 Enclosed Cargo Carriers # Y74ZR will indeed be compatible with your Curt hitch. The main thing to be aware of here is the weight capacity. Your Curt hitch is rated for 350 lbs of tongue weight. The EXO system with two cargo boxes weighs 157 lbs. This...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Acura RDX
  The 3 hitches you asked about for your 2016 Acura RDX have the following weights when it comes to shipping: etrailer - # e24AR - 27 lbs Curt - # C13130 - 28 lbs Draw-Tite - # 75784 - 29 lbs The actual weight of the hitches is going to be a few pounds less since the shipping weight includes shipping materials. These are all going to have the exact same installation process and since the weight is all comparable it really boils down to preference. For your application I recommend going...

• Can The Yakima SnowBank Ski And Snowboard Carrier Be Mounted On Any Yakima Cross Bars?
  The Yakima SnowBank Ski and SnowBoard Carrier # Y57VR will only work with the Yakima EXO Swing Away Cargo Carrier # Y72VR and the TopShelf for Yakima EXO SwingBase # Y94VR, and will not work with regular Yakima cross bars, like the Yakima Jetstream Crossbars # Y00425. Instead, you'll want to use the Yakima FreshTrack 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier # Y03093. This carrier can carry 6 pairs of skis, 4 snowboards, or 8 fishing rods, and will fit on round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory...

• Is There Bike Rack That Converts to Ski Rack
  There is a way to get a system with a bike rack that can be converted to a ski rack. This is called the EXO system from Yakima, and it's a base with arms that allows you to mount different accessories; the base even swings away for easy access to your vehicle's hatch (if your car has a hatch, of course). Here is what you can use: - Yakima EXO Swing Away 2-Bike Rack # Y92VR - Yakima SnowBank Ski and Snowboard Carrier for Modular EXO System - 5 Skis or 4 Boards # Y57VR The EXO and bike...

• Can the Yakima SnowBank be Mounted on the Top and Lower Level of the Yakima Exo System?
  Yes! I confirmed with Yakima that the Yakima SnowBank # Y57VR will work on both shelves (at the same time) of the Yakima Exo System Swing Away Hitch Extender - 2" Hitches # Y82VR. However, the skis that are loaded on the bottom shelf might become dirty from snow/debris during transport. If you want more protection against the snow/debris, you can always install mud flaps or use the top shelf only of the Exo system with the Snowbank. For the other skis, you can use a roof-mounted carrier...

• Is There A Cargo Carrier That Swings Out Or Folds Up.
  I have a solution for you. Reese does not have a swing/fold up cargo carrier, however we do have the Yakima EXO SwingBase with GearWarrior Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches - 60" x 23" # Y72VR.

• Can the Top Rack of the Stack Rack II # 310-VSR201 Have the Same Size as the Bottom Rack?
  While we do have a two-tiered basket system that offers more storage space, Viking Solutions does not not have an option to make the top basket of the Stack Rack II # 310-VSR201 the same dimensions as the larger bottom basket. The only other option we carry is the Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System w/ 2 Cargo Carriers - 2" Hitches # Y84ZR. Not only does this come with a swinging mechanism that allows you to fully open the trunk of your vehicle by swinging the rack to the side with gear...

• Best Hitch for a Cargo Carrier on a 2021 Kia Sedona
  The hitch that I recommend for your 2021 Kia Sedona to use a cargo carrier is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13115. This hitch is made in the USA, has a bolt-on, no-drill installation, and will provide you with a 2" receiver opening which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories like a cargo carrier. If you are needing a cargo carrier still, the Yakima EXO Swing Away Cargo Carrier # Y72VR is a really nice carrier that swings away from the vehicle allowing you to have...
