Question:
Hi, I am looking at buying the Yakima EXO SwingBase with EXO GearLocker and am concerned about exhaust hear to the Gear Locker. I plan to install it on a 2024 GLE53 which has quad exhaust tips dual on each side. Will this setup be okay and not have any issues with exhaust heat?

Thanks for reaching out, Sean!
I've looked at some photos of the exhaust on your 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE53 and if the exhaust shoots directly behind your vehicle then I think you'll potentially see some issues since the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH99MR will sit just below the bumper and the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y62VR doesn't have much of a rise.
Some nicer vehicles have fake exhaust tips built into the bumper though, and another design I was seeing had the exhaust tips turned down slightly. If this is what your vehicle has then you'll be good to go!
If you could shoot me a few photos of the exhaust system on your vehicle I'd be more than happy to take a look at it for you - I'll just need closeups of where the exhaust tips are located and if they come out of the bumper or not.
