Yakima FatCat EVO 4 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards

Ask the Experts about this Yakima Ski and Snowboard Racks

• Overall Width of the Yakima FatCat 4-Ski Carrier and Will It Fit Next to Cargo Box on 2007 Escalade
  I checked with Yakima and the FatCat ski carrier # Y03095 is 30-1/2 inches long. If the cargo box is 28 inches wide then together the ski carrier and box have an overall width of 58-1/2 inches. You would need at least that much free space on the roof rack crossbars on your 2007 Cadillac Escalade for both parts to fit at the same time.

• Ski and Snowboard Rack for a 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon with Factory Crossbars
  I have a solution for you, but unfortunately the Thule SnowPack, part # TH7324 is not a confirmed fit for the factory bars on a 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon according to Thule. The speed link system may be able to reach around and give a fit, but we haven't had the ability to directly confirm this in house. Instead, I recommend the extremely similar Yakima FatCat EVO4, part # Y03095. This offers similar locking and adjustable height features as the SnowPack, and Yakima does confirm this...

• Will Tall Bindings Hit the Roof Using the Yakima FatCat Ski Carrier on a 2008 Acura MDX
  The bindings will not be an issue when using the Yakima FatCat # Y03095. It has integrated SkiLift brackets. The brackets unlatch from the bottom of the rack and extend, creating extra space between the FatCat and the mount bracket on the hinged end of the carrier. This is a real advantage when you're carrying several snowboards or skis and one of them must be carried with the bindings facing the vehicle's roof.

• Distance Between Mounting Location on Yakima Fatcat 4 and Fatcat 4 EVO
  The Yakima FatCat EVO 4 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 4 Skis or 2 Boards - Black # Y03095 has mounting holes that are inches apart. I reached out to my tech contact at Yakima and he said the Old FatCat 4 mounting holes are 12 inches on center and the newer FatCat 4 EVO will be longer at about 16 inches. Once you account for the width of the Aero Crossbar SmarT-Slot Kit 2 for Yakima FatCat Ski and Snowboard Carriers # Y03098 it will be another 1/2 inch on each side for the T-slot...

• Recommendation To Carry 2 Snowboards and 4 Pair Skis On Roof Rack
  My recommendation for you is the Yakima Big PowderHound Roof-Mounted, Locking Ski and Snowboard Carrier - 4 Skis/2 Boards, side by side as you mentioned.

• Recommended Ski/Snowboard Carrier for a 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon with Integrated Crossbars
  I recommend going with a Yakima ski/snowboard rack for your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon because they feature the FatCat EVO which has a sleek modern design and the FreshTrack if you are looking for more of a retro style. These will mount to the OEM crossbars that you have as the side rails would be where you would attach a roof rack and not an actual carrier. Both of these ski/snowboard carrier options come equipped with locks, oversized push buttons so you can operate them with your gloves...

• Low Profile Rooftop Ski and Snowboard Carrier
  The Yakima FatCat Evo # Y03095 will give you about 1-7/8" lower clearance compared to the Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # RR572. From the top of your crossbar the FatCat has a height of 4-5/8" and the Rhino-Rack at 6-1/2". Both of the carriers make excellent ski and snowboard carriers and double as fishing rod holders in the warmer months but if you are looking for a lower profile carrier the Yakima FatCat Evo is the best choice. If the clearance difference isn't quite what you...

  This is going to look SWEET! Here is the RetraxPRO Tonneau Cover # RTX48FR that will fit your 2021 Ford Ranger. This one is for the 5 foot bed.

• Can Yakima FatCat EVO Attach to Rola Roof Cargo Basket 59504
  To use with the Yakima FatCat EVO Ski and Snowboard Carrier like part # Y03095, the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Basket # Y07070 is definitely the better option. The crossbars on this basket, as you mentioned, feature a straight design and will work perfectly with this and many other roof rack accessories.

• Rhino-Rack vs Yakima FatCat4 Snowboard/Ski Rack Comparison
  Yakima is a top of the line brand that offers great racks at a price that reflects the quality. The Rhino Rack brand on the other hand comes in a much lower price with only a marginal difference in quality to be totally honest. In my opinion the Rhino Rack carriers and racks are the best value in most cases and what I normally recommend. That being said the Ski Rack part # RR574 is a great value, BUT it does require a tool to tighten the clamps to your crossbars and the Yakima part...
