The Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106 has a 2" coupler, so your ball mount will need a 2" ball like the Curt # 40038. At the stock set up, you will have 66" crossbars and 250 pounds of carrying capacity. This can be upgraded to 350 pounds by by adding the 78" crossmember kit # Y08111 and HD shocks # Y08110. You will not need to upgrade the ball to do this though.
