DIY Install: Yakima SkyBox NX 18 Rooftop Cargo Box on your 2011 GMC Yukon Video

This is a great choice, I love the versatility that the Yakima EXO SwingBase with GearLocker Enclosed Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches - 10 Cubic Feet, part #Y62VR, offers. I reached out to our Product Manager for Yakima and he has been told all of…

The total weight of the Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System w/ 2 Enclosed Cargo Carriers #Y74ZR is 157 lbs so it would be over the weight capacity of a 150 lb tongue weight hitch. For a taillight kit to use with this you'd want the part #Y74VR…

Both of the cargo boxes you mentioned are solid choices but I would recommend the Malone Profile 18b part #MPG911 over the Yakima SkyBox #Y07336 if for no other reason than it will save you some money. Both boxes are very similar and both use a…

The SportRack Horizon Series of cargo boxes, which include various-size models such as the 16-cubic-foot #SR7016 that you referenced, are designed with mounting hardware that can accommodate a wide range of crossbar shapes and sizes. Your Thule…

There are a couple of differences between the two. The JetStream bars like #Y00425 are made of extruded aluminum while the CoreBars such as the #Y00421 you've looked at are constructed of galvanized steel. As you've mentioned, the CoreBar has…

Crossbar spread is a key factor in determining the accessories and loads that the system can safely carry on a car. To properly measure, you will need to measure from the center of one bar to the center of the other. This is the correct way to…

Aside from a slight change in the appearance of the crossbar (the WingBar Evo has some boxed edges as opposed to the completely smooth front of the AeroBlade) the biggest differences are the rubber strip on top of the crossbar and the weight…

The Yakima Skynox NX 18 part #Y45AV can be used on your 2023 Toyota 4Runner but since your OEM crossbars sit so close to the roof you would have to go with an aftermarket crossbar set like the Malone #MPG215 which would put your bars up high enough…

For the best hitch for your 2022 Kia Telluride, I recommend the Curt Hitch #C13420. The great thing about the Curt hitch is that it is a great economical hitch that provides you with 750 pounds of maximum tongue weight and 5,000 pounds of maximum…

I checked with Yakima and the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Cargo Box #Y95AV that you referenced is confirmed to fit the optional crossbars of your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Check out the review video I attached for this gear box.

If both would give you enough storage space I would go with the smaller Yakima Skybox NX 16 part #Y95AV over the 18 version part #Y45AV. Having a bigger box than needed doesn't really gain you anything since it will be bigger to store, a little…
