These aluminum HD crossbars are built for serious hauling. With a 500-lb weight capacity, you can load up heavy camping gear, kayaks, or even construction materials without worrying about flex or failure. The sturdy build feels solid on the road and gives peace of mind when carrying big loads on long trips.
Each crossbar endcap has built-in tie-down points that make it easy to strap down your gear. Whether you’re securing a canoe for a river trip or holding down a cargo box for a weekend getaway, these tie-downs give you quick access and a secure hold every time.
Rubberized strips in the top channels help reduce wind noise and drag when driving at highway speeds. That means less whistling and vibration from the bars overhead, so you can focus on the drive instead of fighting background noise.
From bikes to skis to rooftop tents, these crossbars handle it all. They’re compatible with most bike, watersport, snow, and cargo carriers that mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars. You can use your existing accessories or mix in new ones as your adventures expand.
You can add Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores for theft deterrence. A single key secures both the rack and your mounted gear, so you can leave your setup parked at trailheads or campgrounds knowing it’s protected.

I had a difficult time identifying whether these were the correct adapters for the rack towers that I was purchasing to fit my tracks but that has more to do with yakima doing everything a-la-cart instead of having kits that include everything you need if I hadn't already had the HD bars on my other rack and wanted to be able to transfer them to this rack I probably wouldn't have went to this expense because I think they are overpriced.AS far as etrailer is concerned I always receive great service and products and they are always well packaged and never damaged by poor delivery care and always fast delivery speed.
Yakima SkyLine Towers are well-designed and well-executed. They easily fit into the Yakima Landing Pads and form a tight fit when closed. And they also fit nicely into the Yakima JetStream Crossbars when following the Yakima instruction manual and various YouTube videos. I did run into a snag at first where I found the rubber seal on one SkyLine Tower getting caught on the JetStream Crossbar track, but after that I was careful not to let that happen with the other towers.
I find the appearance of the Yakima SkyLine Towers to match their level of quality in materials and design.
The roof rack works well. The only problem I have is noise and while I'm carrying a ladder there is none. I figured if I take the ladder off I'll split a piece of pvc pipe and mount that on the front of it. But they work well for what I needed for work. The service from etrailer was excellant. I dealt with Carol and she did a very good job in helping me.
I choose etrailer simply because they mailed to APO. I’m a AD SM, and a lot of companies don’t shop to APO. As soon as I ordered my product, I received an email as a courtesy from etrailer letting me know I had an individual that would be tracking my product every step of the way, reassuring a smooth process. Their site functionality was easy, their customer service was great. I wanted to know if they had bike racks that would fit my cross bars, I got a email right away with a suggestion and a link that would fit my needs. I’ll definitely order from etrailer if I ever need to again.
I put it with the Timberline system and worked great
Fast shipping and great updates on my items. Thank you!
They fit perfectlly and solidly on my 2021 Toyota Highlander. The instructions are clear and entirely accurate.
All parts of adapter were not needed. Instructions were a little unclear.
The Yakima products are doing great. Just got home yesterday from a 18 day trip using them in Michigan's upper peninsula. Love them. Great products. Thanks again.
These are a must for HD bars and the shipping was fast! I wish there was some way to know I had to get these because they are not included.
Great product and even better was the service with etrailer! These guys make it happen and delivery was super fast. Thanks for a fantastic experience, will be a return customer.

This item was just a component of a 4 or 5-part order that I have been working on in recent months. All of the items would receive 5-stars along with the eTrailer fulfillment, customer service, and video product review/installation teams. I appreciate your commitment to outstanding service.
Very nice quality towers. Very heavy duty! They have a cool "snap" on / off mechanism for quick removal and installation.
easy install. Worked as advertised
Works perfect for our SUP with the tie down loops. Great for building materials as well. Looks great as well.
The item does not have much heft and therefore does not give me confidence that it will not fail. Additionally the pcs that go on the rear did not fit quite right. They were about 2mm off to one side of the installation space.
Excellent customer service and prompt delivery. They even followed up to make sure everything was correct with my order. I highly recommend ETrailer!
Solid and well made products, easy to i nstall.
Required for Yakima HD crossbars using timberland tower system.
Perfect and thank you for great price & fast delivery!
I ordered the Yakima roof rack for a 2019 Hyundai Ioniq. I went with the heavy duty one for extra strength but it is quite a bit thicker, likely increasing wind noise. So I might have chosen the aerodynamic lighter weight one if I was to do it again. Also, I needed to get larger bolts for my kayak holder to get around the crossbar. The instructions and video on website were very helpful but they did not explain well how to adjust the toe and pitch. For the toe adjustment, you have to push the metal post with the tool before tightening. That was not obvious. For the pitch, it helped to do that once the towers are attached to crossbar. Then you can tilt tower while cross bar is laying flat (upside down). I ended up having to add tilt on both front and back crossbars for them to be flat when installed. Website said only front one would need to be pitched. I am very pleased with the look and sturdiness of the product. My Hyundai Dealer had zero options for this car.
Good inventory choices, excellent customer service with advice on vehicle compatibility, and prompt shipment. I'm a repeat customer at etrailer for good reason!
Right part, quick shipping. Thank you!

I have used the landing pads with a fully loaded basket and awning. We went on a road trip from Rialto, CA to Los Cabos San Lucas, BC with no signs of failure. I guess, dont judge a book by its covers. Well designed. Thats 1100 miles one way. Some parts of the roads were not that great but everything held up.
