Question:
Greetings. I have a 2019 Chevy Colorado with 55 inch HD Crossbars on a Yakima HD Overhaul Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack. When I go surf fishing on the beach, I use a Thule ski board rack and Topwater Rooftop Fishing Rod carrier to carry my fishing rods. Id like to add a 6.5 ft x 6.5 ft slim shady awning to this outfit but I am pretty sure I will need longer cross bars. My truck is 74 inches wide. Will there be any problems besides more drag and wind noise if I get the 68inch cross bars and will there be any problem installing them on the HD Overhaul Ladder Rack? You guys are great! Thank you

Expert Reply:
For your 2019 Chevy Colorado you could use the the 68" Yakima HD Crossbars item # Y01158 or the 78" Yakima HD Crossbars item # Y01159. Your truck bed being 74" inches wide would only have them sticking out a couple inches on either side. You may want to confirm but our Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # Y01151-58 for your Colorado comes with 68" Crossbars. If you have 55" crossbars you will definitely want to add longer ones to your setup or you will use up over a foot of the awning before you clear your bedside.
The Yakima SlimShady Awning - Roof Rack Mount - Clamp On - 6-1/2' Long x 6-1/2' Wide item # Y36VR will have no issues working with either size crossbars. We also offer the Yakima SlimShady Awning item # Y96VR in a 8' Long x 8' Wide option. This larger awning would allow you to cover the side of your tailgate as well as extending out an extra 1-1/2'.
