When you’re loading up for a weekend on the water or a long road trip, you want a rack that stays solid no matter what’s up top. This Yakima BaseLine system uses aluminum JetStream crossbars that feel sturdy under load and resist flexing. With a 165-lb weight capacity and a limited lifetime warranty, it’s built to handle kayaks, cargo boxes, and other heavy gear without worry.
Long drives can get noisy when air catches the wrong edges. These aero-style crossbars are shaped to smooth airflow and reduce drag. The rubber strips in the top channels push down as you slide in your accessories, then spring back to fill the gaps—helping cut down on whistling and vibration at highway speeds.
Whether it’s a boat rack, bike mount, or rooftop box, this setup is ready for all kinds of attachments. The JetStream bars work with accessories that mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars, so you can use the carriers you already own or add new ones down the line. No special adapters needed—just secure your gear and go.
Some racks make you cut their rubber channels before mounting your gear. Not these. The push-down rubber strips let you press hardware directly into the tracks without trimming anything. It keeps installation straightforward while sealing out wind and weather for a cleaner look and quieter ride.
You can upgrade this system with Yakima’s Same Key System lock cores (sold separately) to secure the rack when parked at camp or along the road. It’s an easy add-on that keeps your crossbars and accessories protected wherever your travels take you.

Courtney was excellent. Helped with all my difficulties. Very professional and knowledgeable. She is an outstanding employee and should be commended.
Once I read the manual they installed e asily.
Hi, the company, good profesinal service. The product, all I pay was there. Very easy to install. Thanks Bless
Great product... love that fact that I can take the bars on and off without having to disassemble the system. Very convenient when not its not being used.
Great product fast shipping
Solid build quality and easy installation on my '21 Mazda CX-5.
Roof rack parts were ordered correctly and shipped quickly.
Follow the instructions, and you can't go wrong on the self installation
Ackage came 2 days early the install was somewhat easy (did it by myself)
Did not get to mount anything to it but seems really sturdy. One thing I can say is mark out your mounting points with provided stickers then put up and make adjustments to the roof rack.
Yakima is always great, the bars are just right for my kayaks and look great too.
Happy with the purchase. Crossbars shipped and received quickly.
Your notice of schemes was a lot better than the yakima site provided. They did not suggest the scheme you did.
But when the products arrived, the instructions were by yakima. Generally worked as instructed except the tower to tower transverse mounting dimensions needed to be tweaked for a perfect fit.
Easy to install and met my need for hauling a kayak.
Easy to install and sturdy. I carry a 9' pontoon boat on my camper shell using this rack at freeway speeds with no problems.
So far so good. Purchased these towers to use on a 2022 GMC Canyon with HD bars that I already had, primarily to carry my canoe. Yakima's fitting instructions worked perfectly and the whole system seems really solid.
We had to wait on stock a little longer than expected BUT etrailer kept me informed of the progress. Once I received the products installation was a breeze thanks to the instructional videos.
Easy to install thanks to the etrailer video. I have used the rack system on many long distance trips including driving from South Carolina to Yellowstone.
Work exactly as they should and hold everything securely to my vehicle without interfering with the car’s normal operation. etrailer had best prices based on my research. These bars are much quieter than traditional round bars and worth the added expense.
Excellent solution for my 2023 Chevy Silverado. In the past, I have had rails installed on the roof of my pickup trucks, but I find the BaseLine towers to be a better solution, since they don't permanently change the truck. Plus, they are much more solid than SkyLine system on the rails.
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!!
These bars worked great for the roof rack on our truck. Thank you!
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.
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
Strong, Solid Bars, Super Light, and really easy to install!
Really easy to install & work as specified. So happy with the customer support/service at etrailer.
