When you want to bring everything along, this Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack gives you the space and strength to do it. The setup includes two 60" JetStream aluminum crossbars, four BaseLine towers, and a custom fit kit. With a weight capacity of 165 lbs, it’s built to handle cargo boxes, kayaks, or other heavy gear securely on your trips. The aluminum construction adds durability without unnecessary weight and comes backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Long trips are easier when you don’t have to listen to constant wind noise. These aero-style crossbars use a sleek shape that cuts down on drag while helping reduce vibration. The rubber strips that fill the top channels seal against the wind for a quieter ride, so you can focus on the road instead of the hum overhead.
Mounting accessories shouldn’t mean trimming parts to make them fit. Yakima’s push-down rubber strips in the top channels let you install hardware directly into the tracks without cutting or modifying anything. Once your mounts or carriers are pressed in place, the strips close back around them, keeping out wind and water while saving time during setup.
This system is designed for versatility. The JetStream bars are compatible with most universal cargo, water, snow, and bike carriers—whether they mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars. That means you can easily switch from a cargo box on family road trips to kayak cradles for weekend paddling without needing different crossbars.
When your vehicle is parked overnight or at a trailhead, you can deter theft by adding Yakima’s Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately). They secure the rack so your setup stays right where you left it, giving extra peace of mind between adventures.

Ratings & Reviews
After a year, the racks are holding up nicely and still have a solid fit. I only put them on the car when needed. It just takes a few minutes to set them up and go.
Great product fast shipping
Solid build quality and easy installation on my '21 Mazda CX-5.
Works well and fits well. Have used to carry a canoe on several trips totaling more than 4,000 miles.
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.
Roof rack fits and works as advertised. Over the phone customer support for sales and install directions were very helpful and thorough. Geoff is an excellent brand ambassador who goes above and beyond to fulfill customer expectations. I will definitely be shopping at etrailer for my future vehicle needs. Well done!
Easy to install and met my need for hauling a kayak.
One year later and everything works well. I had a problem early on where the rubber protection for one of the j clips from the base towers came off. Contacted etrailer and they sent me a whole new assembly direct from Yakima. Thanks for the prompt response and service!
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!!
Strong, Solid Bars, Super Light, and really easy to install!
These bars worked great for the roof rack on our truck. Thank you!
Really easy to install & work as specified. So happy with the customer support/service at etrailer.
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
