These Yakima HD crossbars are built for serious hauling. Each 55" bar is made of aluminum and rated for up to 500 lbs (always observe your vehicle’s maximum roof load). That kind of strength makes it easy to carry kayaks, canoes, camping gear, or construction materials with confidence. The solid build keeps everything steady on long drives, whether you’re heading to the lake or across the country.
When you’re packing up boats, boards, or lumber, simple tie-downs make a big difference. These crossbars have integrated tie-down points right on the endcaps, so you can quickly secure straps without hunting for anchor spots. It’s a straightforward design that makes loading and unloading faster and keeps your gear snug during rough roads and highway speeds.
Crossbars can whistle when the wind hits them wrong, but these come with rubberized strips in the top channels that cut down on noise and drag. The aerodynamic performance helps make road trips quieter and more comfortable while saving a bit on fuel. It’s an easy way to keep things peaceful inside the cabin when you’re covering long stretches of highway.
This setup is ready for all seasons—kayaks in summer, skis in winter, and cargo boxes year-round. The heavy-duty bars accept both channel-mount accessories and clamp-on carriers, giving you the freedom to use what you already own or mix brands as needed. From fishing trips to family vacations, swapping gear takes just minutes so you can spend more time outside and less time fiddling with mounts.
You can add Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores, sold separately, to help deter theft. With one key controlling your entire rack setup, it simplifies security when you leave your vehicle parked overnight or at a trailhead. It’s a simple upgrade that keeps your investment safe wherever your travels take you.

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.
Works well, after getting them in place. On my Kia Sorrento it's very tricky to get the towers to fit the holes in the factory rails -- takes a lot of loosening and readjusting the bars.
Everything was perfect and relatively easy to setup. Ì bought from etrailer due to the actual manufacturer being out of stock, I was skeptical when I ordered but very glad I did. Would 100% recommend etrailer.
These Yakima crossbars are very HD, just what I was looking for. The Small size was hard to locate but etrailer had them in stock and delivered in short order. Instillation was quick and straight forward.
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.
Sightline Towers(along with #82 Sightclips)are a perfect fit on my 2024 Mazda CX-90 even though not confirmed by etrailer (Yakima HQ did confirm it though). ETrailer’s sales support staff was super helpful in getting this figured out. Yakima’s instructions are very thorough—follow their measurements! Mazda has four locator holes on the flush rails for positioning the Sightline towers—use them. Note, I reused my Jetstream crossbars, hence them looking a tad weathered.
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.
Required for Yakima HD crossbars using timberland tower system.
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.
Easy installation on a '25 Kia Sportage hybrid. I installed with round crossbars and both the towers and the crossbars clear the fully opened moon-roof.
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.
Yakima HD bars 60”
2018 Ford Expedition
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.
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.
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.
