by:

the second tier box makes the lower box less accessible, the folding leg for the swinging arm would be a better solution than a dinky screw jack.



by:

Easy to install and add more storage and options to our EXO system.



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.

We love it! It is easy to put on and remove. It is easy to put on and remove. The EXO system has been great for us. It is meticulously designed and rugged. Very functional and we can travel with peace of mind that on our hitch.

  • Availability of Yakima Topshelf EXO Mast
    Hey Ben, I checked with Yakima and they do not offer just the upright mast of the Yakima Topshelf part # Y94VR that you are looking for as a replacement part for us to sell. Maybe you'd have luck contacting them directly but just that part we can't get.

  • Can The Yakima EXO GearWarrior Cargo Basket Mount to Yakima Crossbars?
    For mounting a basket on your crossbars you will need to use the Yakima SkinnyWarrior # Y07014 as the Yakima GearWarrior Cargo Carrier # Y37VR can only be mounted to the Yakima EXO SwingBase # Y34VR or TopShelf # Y94VR. The Yakima SkinnyWarrior # Y07014 is 58" Long by 23" Wide and can support up to 165lbs. It will mount to your Yakima Corebar without needing any additional adapters as it comes with mounts that are adjustable.

  • Options For A Swing Enclosed Cargo Carrier To Put On A BMW X5
    You can absolutely use the Thule Arcos # TH25YE on both of your BMW X5s. Provided they have either a 2" or 1-1/4" trailer hitch on the back. As far as trunk access goes, the platform does not have a swing away feature. We do offer swing away adapters that can be used like part # SAR36VR. This will allow the carrier to swing away for full trunk access. I would however caution against the use of an adapter. Using this will effectively decrease your hitches carrying capacity by half.

  • Can I Use the Thule Elite Van XT # TH302043 with a Spare Tire on a Ram ProMaster Van?
    We definitely have a solution for transporting bikes on your Ram Promaster. However, I sent a photo of your setup to my tech at Thule, and he confirmed that your spare tire sits too high in order for the Thule Elite Van XT # TH302043 to work with your bikes on your van even in the highest position available on the rack. Although, from the looks of your picture, it looks like you have the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches # Y62VR installed on your hitch. If this...

  • Will Yakima EXO System Fit 2021 Toyota Highlander and is Light Kit Needed
    As long as you have at least 4-1/4" of space from the center of your hitch pin hole to the rearmost part of your 2021 Toyota Highlander the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y62VR will fit perfectly! I do recommend picking up the License Plate and Tail Light Relocation Kit # Y74VR for a few reasons; it helps illuminate the cargo box so driver's behind you can clearly see the extra length of your vehicle at night, and it also makes upgrading to the TopShelf # Y94VR and other...

  • Can Yakima Exo Hitch System Carry More than 2 Bikes
    I wish there was a solution for the Exo that would allow it to carry more than two bikes but there isn't. A better idea might be to go with this Top Shelf part # Y94VR and then bike rack part # Y24VR as well as some roof bike racks like the # Y02103.

  • Can TopShelf For Yakima Exo SwingBase be Used in Vertical 2 Inch Hitch
    Hey Brian, There is not an adapter or any way to use the TopShelf for Yakima EXO SwingBase # Y94VR in a vertical 2 inch receiver. The TopShelf does require you to use the Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y34VR. If you're looking for a way to carry bikes on your trailer tongue we do have something for that, the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LGA55VR.

  • 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...

The # Y94ZR has the enclosed carrier on bottom and a Ski and Snowboard carrier on top.

  • Best Hidden Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Options for a 2020 Lexus RX 450h
    If you like how hidden the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e49KR looks on a 2020 Lexus RX 450h then I recommend checking out the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite # DT58GR instead. This has the same hidden crosstube style that the etrailer option does but the Hidden Hitch actually gives you the ability to remove the receiver when you aren't utilizing it. There is a locking piece that secures it to your vehicle for piece of mind so you simply unlock it and maneuver the locking piece into the unlocked...

  • What Parts are Needed to Use the Yakima GearLocker Enclosed Cargo Carrier
    In order to use the Yakima GearLocker Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y44VR you would need the Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y34VR which would mount in a 2" hitch. You could also get the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y62VR (this consists of both the # Y44VR and # Y34VR) The Yakima EXO System is a modular system that allows you to use a number of different accessories in different configurations. I have included some of those options below. You can also add...

  • 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.

This kit consists of the SwingBase # Y34VR, TopShelf # Y94VR, GearLocker # Y44VR and DoubleUp # Y24VR if you already have part of the EXO system. The difficulty of loading the bikes will vary depending on the height of your receiver, weight of the bikes, and your height and strength. Having the base swung out does make it easier to load...

This system can be highly modified and has many attachments to fit all your needs. The License Plate and Tail Light Relocation Kit for Yakima EXO System # Y74VR are the lights you asked about.

    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...

  • 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...

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.
