How Wide Is The Yakima LowRider Kayak Trailer Y82QD At The Wheels?

Updated 10/27/2025 | Published 03/10/2025

Question:

What is the WIDTH at the WHEELS not the crossbars...? Some trailers on the site include this metric as well and I need to know how wide the main part is so that I can get it into a small garage door. Thanks!

Hey Bryan, good question. For the Yakima LowRider Kayak Trailer # Y82QD, the 78" crossbars are by far the widest part of the trailer. If you were to remove the crossbars, the next widest part would be the fenders. The width at the fenders is 68". The tires sit inside the fenders, but they were not able to provide me with the exact width at the tires. The fender width would be the thing to look at here though. If your garage door is 68" wide or more, the trailer will fit with the crossbars removed.

I hope this helps. Feel free to reply below with any other questions or comments and I will get back to you.

Hey Bryan, did the Yakima LowRider trailer end up fitting through your garage door once you removed the crossbars? Knowing how that worked out could help others trying to store their trailers in tight spaces.
