Question:
Bob's response seems technically accurate since the question was about the 84" Long x 62" Wide LockNLoad platform sold with hardware to mount to crossbars. However, per Yakima's website, the 76" Long x 65" Wide LockNLoad (Platform J) is recommended for the 2021 Nissan NV3500 (as it is for my 2017). While this may not meet the "no additional hardware" aspect of the original post, this wider platform (#Y05046) should fit when used with 2 sets (8 total since 3 pairs are needed) of the Skyline towers (#Y53TR) and the LockNLoad SL adapters (#Y05042-2) should work while being $XX less expensive than the Rhino-Rack Platform recommended by Bob. While the Rhin-Rack is 24" longer, I think many will prefer the more usable horizontal crossbars of the LockNLoad. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

Hey Garrett, thanks for reaching out!
I'm pretty sure at the time that Bob wrote that answer Yakima had only come out with their crossbar clamps for the LockNLoad and they were geared up to get all of the direct fits in their system but we were still waiting on that.
Nevertheless, there is a way to install the LockNLoad directly to your 2021 Nissan NV 3500 and you had almost all of the pieces laid out in your comment (might as well give you the title "Expert" as well!). The only parts you were missing were the front and rear Landing Gear 1 kits. So with all of that put together your list will consist of the following:
- 76" Long x 65" Wide Yakima LockNLoad Platform Roof Tray # Y05046
- SkyLine Towers # Y53TR
- LockNLoad SL Adapters # Y05042-2
- Landing Pad 1 # Y00221 (comes as a set of 2 so you'll need 2 of these)
