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.

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.

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.

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!

I am going to include the Landing Pads, Skyline Towers, LockNLoad adapters, and Pivoting Mounts that are all required for my vehicle in this review of the 84" x 54" LockNLoad Platform. First, I had done months of research trying to figure out what would work and meet my needs for a 2008 GMC Yukon XL. Without the help of etrailer's agent, Ashley, I'd probably still be trying to figure things out! Ashley was patient and thorough, she made sure I had all the parts I needed for a fairly complex (and large!)project. I cannot thank her enough!
On to the assembly and installation: Ashley confirmed that following instructions was key to efficient building - I found that combining online instructions with the included hard copies worked best. As an example, the online fastener images and descriptions are far better than the paper ones. Then, having the paper instructions in hand made "in the moment" progress much faster. All of the Yakima parts fit together perfectly, and by methodically following the instructions (I cannot stress this enough!), including pre assembling Landing Pads, Towers, and Pivoting Mounts, there was no need to backtrack. Once I had a day to devote to the project, everything went very smoothly. Placing the large Platform on the mounts does require two people, but the rest was easy for one fairly handy person to accomplish. Making adjustments to be sure the Platform is centered and square to the roof took some time but it's worth it in the end. Again, thanks to etrailer and particularly Ashley! It was a pleasure doing business with you!

This thing added a great deal of flexibility to my 4Runner. Rock solid and almost limitless options for roof storage allowed me to customize it to transport a kayak and roof box that would never have been possible otherwise.

- Quiet Roof Rack for 2024 Ford Bronco Sport Big Bend EditionHey Chester! Have you tried the Yakima TimberLine Roof Rack with JetStream Crossbars # Y42GD yet? When it comes to noise reduction these are as good as it gets. There will always be some level of noise with the addition of a roof rack but these keep it to a minimum. If you want to add locks you will also need the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07204. The rack is pretty easy to install so if you still think it is too much you can always take it off when you don't need it. Another...
view full answer... - How to Attach a Rhino Pioneer Platform to the Raised Roof Rails of a 2026 Toyota SiennaHey Jed. I have a solution but unfortunately the Pioneer Platforms can not be attached directly to crossbars. If your Sienna's Rhino-Rack crossbar uses the Rhino-Rack RX100 Legs item # RR97AP to secure the crossbars to the raised roof rails, you can attach the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Roof Tray item # RR27AP directly to them. You will have to remove your crossbars though. Attaching the Pioneer Platform Roof Tray item # RR27AP directly to the Rhino-Rack RX100 Legs item # RR97AP is really...

view full answer... - Will Yakima TimberLine Towers And LockNLoad Platform Fit 2025 Honda Pilot Trailsport?Hello Kevin, thanks for reaching out. Yakima does confirm the Timberline towers to fit the factory raised rails on the 2025 Honda Pilot. Sadly, they do not offer a direct fit for the LockNLoad Platform so your best option would be to go with a roof rack with crossbars like the Yakima TimberLine Roof Rack for Raised Rails # Y42GD which comes with 60" black aero crossbars. Then use the clamp-on version of the LockNLoad, part # Y05045-39.

If you Leer Topper doesn't have a set of tracks or crossbars mounted on it you can use the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells item # Y02-480B to install the 60" Long x 54" Wide Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars item # Y05045-39. Now if your Topper came with tracks, I'll need to know what brand they are so I can find a set of compatible crossbars and mounts to install the Yakima item # Y05045-39.

The 58" Long x 47" Wide Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack # RR42115BF is designed for crossbars and comes with mounting hardware to fit the Thule roof rack on your Atlas. This is the largest Pioneer Tray that is compatible with your vehicle as there are no custom fit options. I have attached...
view full answer... - Can Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack Be Added To 2022 Ram 2500 Power WagonHey Doug! The RuggedLine HD Mounting System that comes with the # Y64NJ will not be able to mount on your 2022 Ram 2500. This is designed for 1500 models and not a fit for your truck. Yakima doesn't have this mounting system available for a 2500 with a crew cab but that doesn't mean you can't use the LockNLoad Platform. What you need instead is a roof rack like the Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack # Y36AB. This will clamp onto the naked roof of your Ram and act as the mounting point for the...
view full answer... - Recommended Crossbars and Platform Rack for a 2019 Honda Passport W/ OEM RailsAdam, the OEM bars you have on your Honda are not going to be enough to mount a flatform rack like the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars # Y05045-39 you're also going to need a set of crossbars like the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack for Raised Rails # TH52ZA. From here, you're going to be set up perfectly to use whatever overlanding stuff you want to use like that rooftop tent # TH37HJ you mention.
view full answer... - Is The Factory Roof Rack On a 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Capable of Supporting a Rooftop Tent? Adding a Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars # Y05045-39 to the factory crossbars on your 2021 Ford Bronco Sport is not going to increase the 150lb weight capacity. It will actually lower the amount of weight you can put on the roof by the weight of the rack(57lbs). Because of the very low weight rating for your roof I would recommend a Tent Trailer # Y08129-3727 since most these tents are going to weigh 100lbs or more. This will put the weight on a trailer and won't degrade...
view full answer... - Recommended Bolts for the Channels of a Yakima LockNLoad Platform I checked with Yakima and the correct bolts for LockNLoad Platform Racks like item # Y05045-39 are M8 T-Bolts like item # 853-0782. The Replacement T-Bolt item # Y8880184 you were looking at are M10 bolts and wouldn't work. Any extra length of the Replacement M8 T-Bolt # 853-0782 can be cut off.

They informed me that the LockNLoad's use M8 bolts and the Rack and Roll uses M10 bolts. Instead you can use the Replacement M8 T-Bolt # 853-0782 and either the Zinc Plated Hex Flange Nut - M8 # 185917 or the Replacement 3-Wing, High M8 Hand Knob # 753-0776 for a nut. Any...

Unfortunately, none of the Yakima SkyBox models can attach to these platform. I have included product description links and video review links below.
view full answer... - What Size Yakima LockNLoad Platform Can I Put On My Trucks Camper Shell?You can use the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack On your A.R.E. HD MX Series Truck Cap. The mounting hardware wraps around your crossbars to secure it into place. If you have 2 crossbars on the roof, the largest platform you can put up there is 60" by 54" # Y05045-39. If you have 3 crossbars on top, you can use this larger platform # Y05048-39 which is 84" by 54". If you only have two, I think it would be best to get another crossbar and get the longer platform. Make your truck do more!

The OEM roof rack on your 2021 Toyota 4Runner looks nice but it sits too low to your roof for the Yakima LockNLoad # Y05045-39 mounting hardware to fit. Instead of purchasing a roof rack AND the LockNLoad what I recommend doing is picking up the parts to mount the LockNLoad directly to the raised rails on your 4Runner: 60" Long x 54" Wide LockNLoad # Y05045 SL Adapter # Y05042-2 TimberLine Towers # Y33TR We don't have any brackets designed to fit with the ARB awnings...

You can mount the MajorShady 270 on a roof rack via the T-Slots or to one of the Yakima LockNLoad platforms, like part # Y05045-39, though.
