When you’re hauling serious gear—kayaks, tents, or lumber—you want bars that don’t flinch under weight. These heavy-duty aluminum crossbars are built to carry up to 500 lbs while staying solid and stable on long hauls. The 55" long x 3" wide x 1-1/2" tall bars give you the strength and surface area you need without adding unnecessary bulk.
Nobody likes the constant whistling that can come from roof racks. These bars use rubberized strips in the top channels to reduce wind noise and drag, keeping your highway drives quieter and smoother. The smart design helps air flow cleanly over the rack so your ride feels calm and efficient.
From kayaks in summer to cargo boxes on road trips, this setup handles it all. The HD crossbars work with accessories that mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars, making it easy to mix and match gear without switching systems. It’s ready for bikes, watersport carriers, ski racks, or a rooftop box whenever adventure calls.
Every trip goes smoother when your tie-downs are simple and secure. Integrated tie-down points on each endcap let you hook straps right where you need them, keeping gear tight and stable without extra hardware. It’s a small detail that makes loading and unloading faster every time you hit the road.
You can lock down your entire rack system by adding Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately). With one key controlling everything, it’s an easy way to protect your investment when your vehicle is parked overnight or at the trailhead.
Ratings & Reviews
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Really easy to install & work as specified. So happy with the customer support/service at etrailer.
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.
The installation was super easy, and despite a long time stuck in shipping the delivery itself was extremely fast, and the package arrived in spotless condition. The manuals were very easy to follow, and the end result is absolutely amazing. They provided a nice, flush finish and hold the racks down tight.
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 was able to use these clips to mount a roof rack and roof box on my Audi that had a naked roof, and they did the job! I took it on a 1,200 mile road trip and after I returned there wasn’t any damage to the paint, and even though there are rubber inserts on the inside of the clip to prevent scratches I was still a bit surprised.
If you don’t have roof rails on your car, these definitely help!
