Question:

I have a Chevy Colorado with Overhaul Rack and am looking at awnings including the Slim Shady for protection against the sun and rain when on the beach. While researching the slim shady, I ran across the Batwing and really like the fact that it shelters the back of the truck where I would be accessing my tackle. As always, any advice is greatly appreciated.

Expert Reply:

Yes, the Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning Item # RR33400 you were looking at and the Driver's Side item # RR33100, and item # RR33200 Passenger's Side are all compatible with the Yakima HD Crossbars, like item # Y01157. The Batwing uses the top channel on your Yakima bars to attach to them with the included hardware. The Yakima Overhaul systems item # Y01151-58 use Yakima HD Crossbars so you will have no problem with compatibility. I have attached a couple of review videos.

The Yakima SlimShady Awnings item # Y56VR and # Y96VR also work with the Overhaul Ladder Rack on your 2020 Chevy Colorado.
