Helpful Expert Reply:

It truly depends on what model of Yakima Grand Tour cargo box you have. Since the arm of the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Storage System # S65146 extends out about 15-1/2 inches from the wall, it truly depends of the height of your box model. For instance, if you have the Yakima GrandTour Lo Rooftop Cargo Box - 15 Cubic Ft # Y46FR, this would work because the box is only 10" tall. With the Yakima GrandTour Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 Cubic Ft # YA74FR, the box would not fit since it measures 18" tall. I went ahead and attached a screenshot that shows the length of the # S65146.

If you happen to have a model that exceeds the limits of the Swagman Tajo, we have an option with longer arms that definitely works. That is the Rhino-Rack Storage Rack for Kayak or Cargo Box - Wall Mount # RRRWHL. The arms on this model are a much longer 24-9/16" long. I went ahead and attached a photo of a neighbor using the # RRRWHL with a cargo box to give you perspective. Even though the Rhino-Rack does not have the folding feature, it is the larger option.
