When the trip calls for big gear—kayaks, tents, or lumber—these heavy-duty aluminum crossbars handle it with ease. Each bar measures 55" long x 3" wide x 1-1/2" tall and supports up to 500 lbs, so you can load up without worrying about flex or failure. The durable build gives you solid support for long road trips and gear-heavy weekends.
Driving with roof bars shouldn’t mean a constant whistling sound overhead. These HD bars include rubberized strips in the top channels that help cut down on wind noise and drag. The smoother airflow makes for a quieter ride, even at highway speeds, so you can focus on the drive instead of the hum of the rack.
This system is made for variety—whether you’re carrying bikes, kayaks, snow gear, or a cargo box. The HD crossbars are compatible with most bike, watersport, snow, and cargo carriers that mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars. You can easily swap out accessories between seasons or trips without needing separate racks.
No more searching for a spot to hook your straps. Integrated tie-down points on the endcaps make it easy to secure ropes or straps when loading gear. It’s a small detail that saves time when you’re strapping down boards at dawn or unloading after a long day outdoors.
For extra peace of mind when you park at the trailhead or campsite, you can add Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores—sold separately—to help deter theft of the rack. It’s an easy upgrade that keeps your gear and your roof system protected wherever your trip takes you.

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.
Love my roof rakes just put them back on for this seasons kayaking very easy application was able to apply them myself
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.
These are great, and it is so nice to get a custom base clips that match the angles and contour of the sides of your roof. Makes it look very clean. These are made very well and for sure these will last a long time like my other Yakima products.
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.
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.
Really easy to install & work as specified. So happy with the customer support/service at etrailer.
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.

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.
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
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!
Solid and well made products, easy to i nstall.
Perfect and thank you for great price & fast delivery!
Good inventory choices, excellent customer service with advice on vehicle compatibility, and prompt shipment. I'm a repeat customer at etrailer for good reason!
Right part, quick shipping. Thank you!
Rack is still on the car one year later. Yakima doesn’t have a replacement cover for the tower, which is flimsy.

I’ve lost a second cover. Some shifting of the rack but I use it weekly.
