When you’re loading up for a weekend on the water or a long road trip, you want bars that can handle real weight. The Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack includes two HD crossbars made from strong aluminum with a 500-lb weight capacity. Each bar measures 60" long x 3" wide x 1-1/2" tall, giving you the space and strength to carry kayaks, cargo boxes, or heavy camping gear without worry.
Whether you’re packing bikes, snow gear, or a cargo box, these bars give you flexibility. The crossbars work with accessories that mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars, so you can use your existing setups or add new ones later. That means one rack handles all your adventures—summer paddling, winter skiing, or cross-country travel.
Wind noise can get old fast on long drives. These HD crossbars include rubberized strips in the top channels that help cut down on drag and whistling. The design smooths airflow over the bars so you can enjoy quieter highway miles without needing to modify or wrap anything yourself.
Tying down gear is simple thanks to integrated tie-down points built right into the endcaps. You can hook straps directly to the ends of the bars instead of hunting for anchor spots. It’s a small detail that makes securing kayaks, boards, or other bulky items quicker and more secure before you hit the road.
For extra peace of mind when parked overnight or at the trailhead, you can add Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores, sold separately. They deter theft of the rack by locking it right to your roof towers—so your setup stays where you left it.
Ratings & Reviews
Product was factory new and arrived in excellent condition. Customer service was outstanding. Teresa went out of her way to answer all my questions regarding fit and product availability. She tracked down the appropriate parts and got them shipped quickly. Etrailer product tracking system is much better than the competition . I will definitely use them again!
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 towers and crossbars were solid and easy to install with the very well written instructions. We used them on 2 cross country trips with any loosening. They were easy to remove. We plan to use them again as the need arises.
We purchased the rack 5 weeks in advance of our up and coming trip. (Rack is amazing FYI). However, The website states free shipping over a certain amount. Weeks went by with notifications nothing was sent and the order kept being pushed back.
Once I called I was told those who chose to purchase shipping vs opting for the free shipping got their orders firsts; everyone else fell to the bottom. After waiting a month for “free shipping” I opted to have paid shipping and I received the rack within days.
While this company has many products I could use, I refuse to use them again because what is advertised is NOT what they ethically hold themselves accountable too.
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 have been a loyal customer of e-trailer for several years, having purchased multiple items in the past with satisfactory results. Unfortunately, this recent purchase has been a disappointing experience.
I ordered a cross-bar kit for my 2023 Honda Pilot, specifically this kit: which is supposed to be compatible with my vehicle.
Upon receiving my order, I noticed that the crossbar box indicated the need for the "HD Bar SL adapter" when used with the Timberline Towers. However, this essential part was not included in the order, rendering the crossbar kit unusable for my vehicle due to the missing parts.
After calling customer service on two separate occasions, they have not been able to acknowledge that the kit should have included the required parts and therefore have not resolved their error by shipping the required parts. I will be returning the entire order and will take my business elsewhere.
I put it with the Timberline system and worked great
Fast shipping and great updates on my items. 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.
All parts of adapter were not needed. Instructions were a little unclear.
Required for Yakima HD crossbars using timberland tower system.
These are some heavy duty crossbars.
Owned several surfboard racks in 45 years and these are by far the best.
Great tie downs also.
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.
Yakima HD bars 60”
2018 Ford Expedition
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 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
Yakima OverHaul HD is built tough, sturdy, light but heave duty, well designed, easy to install and remove by leaving the locking base on the track. The height can be adjusted easily to a desired height to fit just right. The "bonus" is a beer bottle opener on each rail :)
Customer service at etrailer is excellent! Always responsive, immediately reply to help with any questions. Tayler K. was my sales representative, she's been super!
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
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.
