Question:
Hello eTrailer, I was hoping you could guide me with my 2023 Tacoma. I want to upgrade my Tonneau cover and have the ability to put low profile crossbars for cargo needs. I have an older Thule roof cargo carrier that I would like to mount over the bed of truck while still keeping the profile low for say parking garages, etc. I have a 2023 Tacoma with 6’ bed The Tonneau cover I want is the Retrax PRO XR Manual Retractable Tonneau Cover w/ T-Slot Rails Part:T-80852 What crossbars in your opinion would give the most functionality? What mounting hardware for the crossbars should I utilize with the T-Slot Rails? In advance, thank you for your help and time.

Hey Steve, we have just what you are looking for to add a set of low profile crossbars on your 2023 Toyota Tacoma with the RetraxPRO XR part # RTT-80852. For that you'd want the Yakima Outpost HD part # Y01152-5855 which will give you a set of load bars that are 13 inches above the bed rails. These crossbars are compatible with your Thule cargo box as well.

Hey Steve, how did the Yakima Outpost HD crossbars work out with your RetraxPRO XR cover on the Tacoma? It sounds like a great setup for keeping things low profile while still carrying your Thule cargo box. Your feedback could help others planning a similar upgrade.
