Ever struggle to fit all your gear up top? The Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack, measuring 55" x 49", offers a large, flat surface that accommodates diverse loads more effectively than traditional crossbars or baskets.

Its horizontal slats make clamping on essentials like bikes, kayaks, or even a rooftop tent effortless, enabling you to make the most of every adventure.

Frustrated with limited accessory options? The integrated channels in the Yakima LockNLoad are your solution, ready to accommodate various off-road accessories such as perimeter rails, lights, and more (all sold separately).

If this were the Yakima site, I'd give the platform 5 stars. It has been amazing. I tried to buy it through etrailer, but the package came missing half of the pieces. I waited for weeks as etrailer said they'd send the missing pieces. They never came, so I returned it. That was the third time I tried to order a roof rack through etrailer only to be missing parts or have the parts broken.

Mounted to the top of my 2018 F-150 Super Crew Cab. Had Yakima Baselines, with HD Bars, HD Bar Adapters and the locknload crossbar adapters. Wished I was able to install it without crossbars as it requires that I buy them, also adds a bit of height to the the locknload as well.
Very well built, had my wife (125lbs) walking around on it after I mounted the locknload. Took about an hour to assemble the locknload and maybe another hour or two of adjusting the bars to where I wanted the locknload to sit on the roof. Other than it looks a bit too high I do love them. Will probably see what I can do about lowering the locknload in the future.

If you need extra flexibility for carrying items with t-slot mounts this platform is great. We got it for or Audi Q7, primarily because in addition to carrying various stuff we needed to carry a spare tire (Audi just gives a can of goo for your flats) while towing. In addition to the t slots the slats also give lots of flexibility for strapping/ratchet strap mounts etc. Be warned the Yakima mounting accessories are VERY expensive. Quality is very good (except perhaps the plastic parts of the frame gave me pause), it is very sturdy and assembly is straighforward. Although not receommended, we were able to mount a rooftop box. I heard a rumor they may be coming out with t slot roofbox mount kits if you don't want to DIY. Note the box needs to have a flat bottom (lots of the Thule boxes won't work).

Love it! Used it on our Subaru Outback when we wanted a firmer and wider platform than the stock crossbars. The platform is even more useful than I thought because you can mount accessories (e.g., canoe carriers) all the way to the edge if you use the T-channel to secure them. I would've probably gotten one size smaller had I realized that.

Love the Yakima LocknLoad 55x49 Platform.. would have been nicer if it was just a few inches longer. Fits really well on the 2019 Grand Cherokee.. and looks even better but at highway speeds (60mph+) you will hear it up there... I've also noticed .5 mpg less which is no biggie...I didn't think the Landing Pads (18) were very stable but once in place.. its rock solid!

- Can a Yakima LockNLoad Platform Attach to the Bottom of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer?Yes, you can attach a LockNLoad platform to the bottom of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer item # Y08129 but not that one because it's too wide. Instead you'll need the 84" Long x 49" Wide Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars item # Y05047-39 or the shorter 55" Long x 49" Wide item # Y05044-39. The lower bars on the EasyRider item # Y08129 are larger than most other crossbars and have a 2" diameter but the included mounting kits will accommodate round bars up to 2". The...

Not sure what you mean by the usual modifications but the Yakima RuggedLine HD Mounting System for LockNLoad Platform item # Y53DJ is designed for a 5th generation Toyota 4Runner's so it's not going to work with your 2018 Chevy Traverse. If your Traverse has crossbars, you can install the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars item # Y05044-39. This is a 55" long x 49" wide platform that's the same style included with the item # Y53DJ. It comes with the necessary mounting...
view full answer... - What is Needed For Platform on Roof Rack For 2021 Honda CR-V With Naked RoofHey Bob, We can get your 2021 Honda CR-V with a naked roof set up with a platform that goes on a roof rack. For that all you'll need is the following: - Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack for Naked Roofs # Y62XB - Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars - 55" Long x 49" Wide # Y05044-39 The LockNLoad will mount directly to the roof rack's crossbars, and I verified with Yakima the 55" x 49" is the correct fit for your CR-V.
view full answer... - Will the Bolts on Front Runner Accessories Fit the T-Slots of the Yakima LockNLoad's Channels?I have an answer for you. I reached out to my contact at Yakima and they said that they specially make t-slot hardware for accessories that are designed to fit into LockNLoad Platforms like the # Y05044-39. With that being said, there is no way to confirm whether your Front Runner accessories' M8 hex bolts will work with the LockNLoad channels. This is also the case with all other t-slotted platforms we carry. However, Yakima does make many compatible accessories that are designed to...
view full answer... - Recommended Platform Rack for a 2023 GMC Yukon XL SLT W/ Flush RailsHey David, unfortunately it looks like the Yakima RuggedLine HD Mounting System for LockNLoad Platform # Y53DJ is for 5th generation Toyota 4Runner's so it's not going to work with your 2023 GMC Yukon XL. since you already have rails, you don't need the RuggedLine system and can just use the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars # Y05044-39. This platform rack measures 55" long x 49" wide, and has a built in wind deflector to reduce wind noise and drag. If there is anything else...
view full answer... - Which Yakima Roof Rack Fits 2022 Ford MaverickHi Alvin, Nice choice going with the Yakima rack as they make really high-quality gear. As for the correct parts for your 2022 Ford Maverick, you can actually get everything combined with just one part number depending on the bars you want. You mentioned the FX, and that is a flush-style roof rack system, which means the bars only go the width of your roof with no overhang. The FX uses bars and towers that are combined, so they aren't actually separate; to go that route you'd just need...
view full answer... - Can A Yakima Rooftop Basket Be Mounted To The Yakima LockNLoad Platform?Hello Jason. The Yakima LockNLoad Platform has T-slots which can be used for mounting certain accessories, but it will not work with clamp on accessories like a roof basket or cargo box. If you want to be able to use both a Platform and a roof basket, the best option will be to install a roof rack with crossbars, then use a clamp-on LockNLoad Platform like part # Y05044-39. Then when you need to use the cargo basket you can remove the platform and install a basket like the Yakima OffGrid...
view full answer... - Will the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack Fit on a TruXedo Elevate Ladder RackHey Eric, thanks for reaching out! Yes, the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars # Y05044-39 is compatible with the TruXedo Elevate ladder rack system. The Elevate uses standard-sized crossbars so you won't have any fit issues at all, just keep in mind that you might need to adjust where the mounting hardware sits to get it to fit properly. I really like the thought of these 2 products being used together - are you planning to use it for camping, or more for standard cargo space?...
view full answer... - Yakima LockNLoad or Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform For Elevate Rack on Ford MaverickHey Alvin, There is quite a bit of similarity in mounting either platform to your the TruXedo Elevate Rack # TX76NV on your 2022 Ford Maverick, though the easier to fully remove is the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Roof Rack Platform for Crossbars # RR42115BF. You will affix the platform (and remove it) by tightening the clamps with an included Allen Key, while the LockNLoad # Y05044-39 requires a bit more setup and a 1/2" socket for install and removal. But there will be more pieces (due to the...
view full answer... - Will Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack Fit OEM 2024 Subaru Outback CrossbarsHey Joe-Berry, yes the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack part # Y05044-39 that you referenced does fit the OEM crossbars of your 2024 Subaru Outback.
view full answer... - What is Needed For Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack on 2024 Hyundai Santa FeHi Jim, I checked directly with Yakima for you, and while you can use a LockNLoad platform, there isn't one that mounts directly to the feet on the side rails of your 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe. So what you'd have to do is get the Yakima roof rack and then add the LockNLoad on top of that. Here are the parts you need, and you have a choice of either Black or Silver for the roof rack: - Yakima TimberLine Roof Rack for Raised Rails - Silver # Y57SD or Black # Y42GD - Yakima LockNLoad Platform...

You can go ahead and send any questions you have in the comment box below and I'll be happy to answer them. I will say all the Thule Caprock's like the item # TH98YE you were looking at are going to be too wide. Since your 2024 Honda Pilot has the factory raised rails on the side you should be able to use the TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars item # Y33TR to attach the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack item # Y05044-39. So long as the distance between the center of your...

The Yakima LockNLoad Platform Roof Tray # Y47PB you're looking at mounts to the raised rails that run front to back, but since you're saying your 2025 Toyota RAV4 Prime already has the side-to-side crossbars it means you need the LockNLoad # Y05044-39, which comes with the universal clamps that fit your style of crossbars. It sounds like you plan to use the platform rack in a variety of ways, so here are a few additional kits you might be interested...

Unfortunately, Rhino-Rack does not make one that will fit the 2015 Tahoe. However, you can still add the pioneer platform. Since you have a naked roof you will need to add tracks to be able to add a platform rack. What you can use is the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack - Track Mount - 52" Long x 54" Wide # RR98QX. This comes with 36-1/4" long tracks, legs, spacer blocks, and the platform to mount on top of your Tahoe. If you're...

The Front Runner Slimline II Platform Rack # FR26FV installs in the "ditches" so while you'll be drilling into the roof of your 2019 Colorado, it's not directly on top. With that being said, I do have a way to get you a similar setup on your truck without having to drill into your truck roof at all. The Yakima BaseLine Foor Rack # Y62SB clamps on your door jambs, and then can be used with their LockNLoad Platform Rack # Y05044-39. So, this rack will clamp to your vehicle frame...

- Will Cargo Box Work With Yakima LockNLoad On 2019 Toyota Land CruiserThe Yakima LockNLoad Platform Racks like part # Y05044-39 won't work with roof boxes so if you have a 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser the Rhino-Rack Pioneer SX Platform Rack part # JA9134 would be a better option. Furthermore, the LockNLoad requires horizontal crossbars whereas this Pioneer attaches directly to the raised side rails.

This should get you about 5 inches of clearance from your panoramic roof to the bottom of the platform. This is what I recommend and will be great for hauling your lumber and gear. Just make sure you do not exceed your jeep's roof weight capacity. If for some...

They each come with crossbar clamps and will work great with a set of Thule crossbars. The main difference between the two is that the Rhino-Rack uses vertical crossbars and the Yakima uses horizontal crossbars.
