Question:

Are the lock cores as provided by Rhino Rack, compatible/inter-changeable with Yakima accessories? Id prefer to continue to use the Yakima accessories already owned and avoid the need for a separate key system.

Expert Reply:

The Rhino-Rack key and lock systems are not interchangeable with the Yakima SKS lock systems. I noticed you are looking at # Y02-500B which mounts in tracks. The tracks would have to be installed by drilling into the vehicle roof. If you want to avoid that and still have a Yakima rack you can look at other roof rack options for your 2013 Ram 2500.

Provided that the truck has the Crew Cab you can use the following Yakima roof rack parts:

JetStream Bars # Y00427 or CoreBars # Y00423
BaseLine Towers # Y28TR
BaseClips # Y06135

Locks can be added to the roof rack feet to match your existing Yakima SKS locks.
