When you’re hauling big toys or bulky gear, strength matters. These Yakima HD crossbars are built from aluminum to handle up to 500 lbs while staying rigid and stable under load. Whether it’s kayaks, camping gear, or lumber, the heavy-duty design gives you the confidence to stack it up and hit the road without worry.
Tying down your load doesn’t have to be a juggling act. Each crossbar has integrated tie-down points right on the endcaps, so you always have a solid anchor for ropes or straps. It’s a small detail that makes securing boats, boxes, or cargo bags faster and more reliable.
Driving with a roof rack can bring extra noise, but the built-in rubberized strips in the top channels help tone it down. They reduce wind drag and lessen that high-pitch whistle you sometimes get at highway speeds, making your drive quieter and more comfortable.
These bars don’t lock you into one setup. They work with both channel-mount and clamp-on accessories, so you can mix and match bike racks, kayak carriers, or cargo boxes from different brands. It’s an adaptable platform that fits the way you travel.
Trips take a toll on your gear, but the aluminum build stands up to weather and wear while keeping weight in check. The black finish looks clean and resists corrosion through years of use. With 55" long bars measuring 3" wide by 1-1/2" tall, you get strong coverage for wide loads without adding bulk to your setup.

Ratings & Reviews
These Yakima crossbars are very HD, just what I was looking for. The Small size was hard to locate but etrailer had them in stock and delivered in short order. Instillation was quick and straight forward.
Was not a good fit for my TACO. Big gap between the side of roof channel. which allows water to group under there and could cause water on headliner if not 100% sealed with silicone.
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.
Yakima SkyLine Towers are well-designed and well-executed. They easily fit into the Yakima Landing Pads and form a tight fit when closed. And they also fit nicely into the Yakima JetStream Crossbars when following the Yakima instruction manual and various YouTube videos. I did run into a snag at first where I found the rubber seal on one SkyLine Tower getting caught on the JetStream Crossbar track, but after that I was careful not to let that happen with the other towers.
I find the appearance of the Yakima SkyLine Towers to match their level of quality in materials and design.
Very nice quality towers. Very heavy duty! They have a cool "snap" on / off mechanism for quick removal and installation.
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.
Installation was relatively easy, instructions were clear and easy to follow. These are medium duty mounts, secured by a single bolt per pad, and suitable for kayaks and other moderate loads on-road, which is exacly what I'm using them for. The manual specifically calls out against using these for off-road applications.
I'd suggest that anm installer cleans all surfaces to be sealed (bolt holes and the area around them)thoroughly with isopropanol to guarantee a long-term leakproof bond for the silicone sealant. Vibration, tensile and shear stresses, thermal cycling and other environmental factors really stress sealants in these sorts of applications.
All in all, I'm satisfied with the mount design's suitability for its intended application. I just wish Yakima would manufacture their stuff anywhere other than mainland China.
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 was seriously disappointed ?? the landing pads are not made for the Tacoma and sit on the roof with a gap that looks bad and will let water and trash into the bolt parts of the rack to roof juncture. For the amount of money it should be made correctly. I was also shocked to find that the landing pads upper parts were plastic… I have used Yakima for over 30 years and never expected a “cheap out “ like that! I was so disappointed I have never used the racks! They also only have provisions for one of the two bolts at each landing pad roof juncture. Disappointed ??!
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.
Required for Yakima HD crossbars using timberland tower system.
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.

2018 Ford Expedition
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.
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.
Excellent customer service and prompt delivery. They even followed up to make sure everything was correct with my order. I highly recommend ETrailer!
