When you’re hauling kayaks, canoes, or a fully loaded cargo box, strength and stability matter most. The Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack uses heavy-duty aluminum crossbars that hold up to 500 lbs, giving you the backbone you need for big adventures. The durable build stays solid mile after mile without flexing under pressure.
Strapping down gear shouldn’t feel like a balancing act. Each bar has built-in tie-down points right on the endcaps, so you can easily run straps for kayaks, paddleboards, or camping gear without adding extra hardware. It’s a straightforward way to keep everything locked in tight and ready for the road.
Some racks roar on the highway, but this one keeps things quieter. Rubberized strips fill the top channels to cut wind noise and drag when you’re cruising at speed. You’ll notice fewer vibrations and less whistling overhead—just smooth airflow for a more relaxed drive.
Whether your weekends are about paddling, biking, or skiing, this rack is ready to carry it all. The bars accept both channel-mount accessories and clamp-on attachments, giving you flexibility to use your favorite carriers across seasons. From watersports to winter trips, it’s one rack that adapts to whatever gear you load up.
The kit includes 2 HD crossbars, 4 BaseLine towers, 4 adapters, and a custom fit kit designed for solid installation on a naked roof. It’s an all-in-one system that stays secure without damaging your paint and provides a firm foundation for your rooftop setup.

All aspects of the purchase and installation were great. Based on the information provided on the etrailer.com website, I had a high level of confidence that I was purchasing the correct product(s) for my vehicle. The installation was relatively simple and straightforward and the rack is rock solid on my roof. It appears that I did a great job of following the directions :)
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.
I put it with the Timberline system and worked great
Very happy with the Yakima roof top rack kit for my 2017 Ford Edge with glass roof. The instructions were a little confusing at first, but after reading through them a couple of times while working with the product they became much clearer. The Yakima fit site was helpful as well. After the initial cross bar mounting measurements and set up, attaching and detaching the racks from the roof is a very simple process.
Fast shipping and great updates on my items. Thank you!
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.
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.
They fit perfectlly and solidly on my 2021 Toyota Highlander. The instructions are clear and entirely accurate.
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.

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.
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.
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!
Works perfect for our SUP with the tie down loops. Great for building materials as well. Looks great as well.
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!
High quality and all. But my old Yakima rack setup stayed together. The cover was part of a lever to tighten clips. The clips were captured in the assembly. New design the cover and clips need to be completely removed. Need a torque Allen wrench to install every time. Loose parts become Easter egg hunts. Am sure this is to sailer proof mount--that truly is impossible!
Right part, quick shipping. Thank you!
