Built for off-road use, the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack uses the RuggedLine HD system to give you a solid mounting surface that’s ready for rough trails. It bolts to fixed mounting points and delivers the strength you need to haul camping gear, recovery boards, or a spare tire without flexing or wobbling. The durable aluminum frame and black powder coat resist corrosion, so it stands up to years of dirt, rain, and long miles.
The 55" long x 49" wide surface gives you room for all types of gear—cargo boxes, jerry cans, tents, or even a shovel mount. The flat layout makes it easy to secure odd-shaped loads that wouldn’t fit inside your vehicle. With a total weight of 68.5 lbs and a load capacity of 220 lbs on-road and off-road, it handles serious hauling while keeping your gear steady and accessible.
The horizontal slats have integrated channels that let you mount awnings, rooftop tents, kayak carriers, or other clamp-on accessories without extra brackets. Whether you’re loading up for overlanding or a weekend at the lake, the rack adapts to your setup. Integrated rail slots also let you attach off-road lights or other add-ons so everything you need travels with you on top.
When you’re cruising down the highway, the included wind fairing helps reduce drag and noise so the ride feels smoother. It keeps airflow moving cleanly over the front edge of the platform instead of catching wind under the rack. The result is a quieter drive with less vibration from the roofline—especially helpful on longer road trips.
Every part of this platform rack was designed for serious terrain and proven in tough conditions. It’s rugged enough for overlanding and remote travel but versatile enough for everyday hauling. Whether you’re carrying camping gear or watercraft accessories, the LockNLoad platform gives you a dependable base that’s ready whenever adventure calls.

Ratings & Reviews
Great Product - Yakima does a great job in design. Love the tough sturdy look it gives. BUT Beware this only fits 4th Generation Jeep Grand Cherokee 2011-2021, DOES NOT FIT - 5th Generation 2022 - current year. etrailer site says it does fit but it does not, you will be sent the 4th Gen product. I still give them 5 stars for product review. Also the Rhino brand does not have anything that will fit the 5th Gen.
