When you’re loading up kayaks, canoes, or a full cargo box for the weekend, you need bars that can take the weight. The Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack comes with heavy-duty aluminum HD crossbars rated for a 500-lb weight capacity. They’re built with the strength and stiffness to carry large gear securely on long hauls, so you can focus on the trip—not what’s on the roof.
Nothing ruins a road trip like wind noise humming through the crossbars. These Yakima HD crossbars have rubberized strips in the top channels that help reduce wind drag and cut down on that whistling sound. The aerodynamic design makes for a more comfortable drive, whether you’re heading across town or across the country.
These bars are ready for every kind of adventure. They work with most bike, watersport, snow, and cargo carriers using either channel mounts or clamp-on attachments. That means your existing kayak cradles, ski racks, and cargo boxes can all fit right in without extra adapters. Integrated tie-down points on each endcap make it easy to secure straps or cords for whatever you’re carrying.
Road grime, sun, and rain are no match for these bars. The strong aluminum construction keeps weight down while resisting corrosion, and the black finish gives a clean look that stays sharp even after years of use. Each system includes 2 HD crossbars, 4 BaseLine towers, 4 adapters, and a custom fit kit designed for a secure mount on a naked roof.
If you like leaving your rack installed between trips, you can add Yakima’s Same Key System lock cores (sold separately). With those in place, you can lock down your towers to help deter theft when your vehicle is parked at the trailhead or campsite—simple security that fits right into your setup.

Love my Yakima roof rack!! It exceeds my expectations.great product. Also thank etrailer for the tec support! great staff always there to help thanks again!!
Product was factory new and arrived in excellent condition. Customer service was outstanding. Teresa went out of her way to answer all my questions regarding fit and product availability. She tracked down the appropriate parts and got them shipped quickly. Etrailer product tracking system is much better than the competition . I will definitely use them again!
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.
I put it with the Timberline system and worked great
Yakima towers and crossbars were solid and easy to install with the very well written instructions. We used them on 2 cross country trips with any loosening. They were easy to remove. We plan to use them again as the need arises.
Fast shipping and great updates on my items. Thank you!
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.
All parts of adapter were not needed. Instructions were a little unclear.
Great UX for finding the options matching my car, and the baseline towers work great. Simple straightforward site, will plan to use them again when needed.
For those also buying crossbars for cars without roof rails, recommend taking a silver sharpie and marking the placement of the crossbars on the weather seal at the top of the door openings. Makes putting them back on way less of a hassle if you don’t want them on 24/7.
They fit perfectlly and solidly on my 2021 Toyota Highlander. The instructions are clear and entirely accurate.
Really easy to install & work as specified. So happy with the customer support/service at etrailer.
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.
Required for Yakima HD crossbars using timberland tower system.
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.

Great product haven’t had any issues with it. Would highly recommend that anyone that’s looking for a roof rack system and a great seller at etrailer
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.
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.
easy install. Worked as advertised
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.
Works perfect for our SUP with the tie down loops. Great for building materials as well. Looks great as well.
