Well done Yakima and etrailer. Great product and great service. The product is well made (in Taiwan....not China) and the parts and instruction video made it relatively" easy to install. Two people helps to install it more readily. The wind diffuser in the front greatly reduces wind noise. All in all very happy and glad I bought through etrailer. Service was excellent and delivery prompt.

I am very happy with both the initial quality of the Load Warrior and how nice the eTrailer people are to deal with...
The product seems well thought out and there are a bunch of accessories to mount most anything...

Looks and fits well on my '13 Crosstrek. Overall build quality and ease of installation met my expectations. The folks at etrailer.com "exceeded" my expectations! Prompt service and excellent follow-up! Keep up the great work!

Happy with the product and your company. Will buy again from your company for my next product and vehicle related need.

Exceeded all of my expectations. Looks great. Best thing about the LoadWarrior is the fact that it turns heads sitting on top of my truck!
by: Cyndy_Roo06/17/2018
I’m really impressed with the Load Warrior. The instructions were clear and assembling it was straightforward. The hardest part for me was putting the fairing on, but after that it was smooth sailing. I put it together and installed it by myself. Having a second person probably would have made it easier when it came to putting it on the car, but it wasn’t bad.
The basket is really sturdy and I love how it looks. The fairing can fold forward / lay flat in case you’re carrying long skinny cargo. I purchased the locking brackets for added security.

Ordered Yakima Load Warrior Roof Rack Cargo Carrier and Cargo Net for my 2021 Telluride. Both products received as described. Roof rack instructions were clear and assembly straightforward. Had to slightly adjust recommended spacing between OEM crossbars to accommodate Yakima requirements - 30" vs 33". Thinness of OEM crossbars result in the threaded ends of the bolts that hold on support brackets sitting a little too high, potentially presenting a cargo scratching hazard. All in all, however, very pleased with product.
by: Mel P.06/09/2020
Excellent Product! Went together easily, and after adjusting my Yakima round bars to the correct distance apart, the LoadWarrior mounted perfectly.
by: Mike H.04/17/2011
I like the design of the basket. It' sturdy, but not built too heavy. I attached it to a Thule roof rack system. Installation was easy, and it makes for a very solid cargo carrying assembly.

Excellent product, well made and easy to install. etrailer shipped promptly, tracking provided with follow up emails. Highly recommended!
by: Mike12/09/2012
The etrailer website was easy to navigate. The prices were good. The rack shipped almost instantly and was at my door before I knew it. The rack arrived in perfect condition and installed easily on my JSW. This was an excellent on-line purchasing experience. Thanks etrailer!

Great! We traveled to beach last summer. The roof rack was a good storage place for our gear!
by: Joshua10/13/2022
One year of driving with this thing on the roof of our 2016 toyota sienna in Washington state - Some background: Our van is awd and didn't come with a spare, so we bought one off another van, and we carry it on the roof since there is nowhere to mount it in the undercarriage. We haven't used it to carry anything else. Our van is kept in our garage, but it still sees plenty of rain.
We haven't had any rust problems that the cheaper carriers have, despite the fact that I didn't do any of the custom caulking/sealing that others have done. We haven't had any rattling at high speeds, or screws coming loose, or anything like that so far. Other than the occasional tightness check, it's been a set it and forget it type of situation.
Downside #1: It hurts gas mileage. Went from 20+ mpg to 19 consistently.
Downside #2: Wind can be both heard and felt at speeds exceeding around 55 mph. I can feel the drag. It's like a sail that picks up every gust of wind and transmits it to your steering wheel. I tried removing the front flat piece but it got even louder and sailier somehow. Having said all that, it's not as bad as it sounds. It's there, but it's not like it's trying to pull you off the road or anything. You get used to it and it doesn't have to constantly be at the front of your mind when driving.
These downsides are not unique to this carrier. I have no experience with other carriers, so I can't say the downsides are better or worse than with others, but my guess it they aren't any worse.
I went with this carrier despite it being much more expensive than cheaper alternatives because I just didn't want the hassle of the rust and other problems that they bring. After a year of no problems (aside from the ones I listed that all carriers have), I do think it was worth the extra cost. I hope this helps you decide.

I found the directions confusing, and it was impossible to get though the customer support phone line. When you put the two halves of the cage together, on one side the holes did not line up very well. I tried to screw the screw in anyway and it stripped. The directions were just plain wrong in how far apart the cross bars should be. Mainly, I felt alone in this effect-- there really is no phone customer support with Yakima. Expect to use the chat instead.

You mentioned that when the two halves of the basket were put together that it stripped and that the directions were incorrect in how far apart the cross bars needed to be. I wanted to see if you would be able to send pictures? How far apart are your cross bars, center to center.

Received roof basket quick and in great condition, save for missing one of the tube fastener screws. It was easy to put together and install, although it took me just over an hour to do, but that's mostly because I'm anal. I really like this basket as it seems to sit lower on my factory roof rack than other brands I've seen on the same vehicle (2015 Subaru XTrek), and that makes it look much better (IMHO). It also comes with a wind deflector which was easy to install and Adds to it's appearance. I would highly recommend this product and etrailer to friends and family. Etrailer, please keep up the great work and service your provide, as I find it to be very useful and very much appreciated. Btw: This was not my first order with etrailer, so my experience with them is also based on previous orders, and no I have affiliation with etrailer, I'm just a very happy customer.

I've had the Yakima roof basket on top of my Subaru for a year now and am quite happy with it. I recently drove from southern California to northern and back, a total of 804 miles, and had no problems with excessive noise, that was the only concern I had. I've owned Yakima racks in the past and was familiar with their durabilty.
by: Bob L03/19/2015
I have a Subaru Forester w/o factory racks. I am using a Yakima rack and towers that attach to the factory mounting holes on the roof, so it cannot be moved or adjusted. The LoadWarrior basket does not fit this particular width of the bars. It is at the only possible mounting position and with one clamp centered, the other clamp is not centered on the bar, making it impossible to secure the clamp (the basket to the rack).
I have ordered the extension for the basket to hopefully provide more end to end adjustment so it can be secured to the rack.

- Waterproof Cargo Bag that Fits Yakima LoadWarrior Roof BasketThe best option for a waterproof roof cargo bag that would fit your Yakima LoadWarrior part # Y07070 would be the Rhino Rack bag part # RRLB250 which measures 43 inches by 31-1/2 inches. This has a two zipper design with only the front not having a zipper that runs around it (to allow it to be less likely to let water in). You could put the two zippers exactly at the rear of the bag or off to one side for access like you need.
view full answer... - How to Carry Cargo or Use Bike Rack With 2019 Toyota Corolla HatchbackWhile there is a fantastic option to carry cargo with your 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback, there are currently no trailer hitches available for this vehicle. If you were looking for a way to haul cargo as opposed to towing with this your car, I strongly recommend a roof rack, which will let you you use the same type of accessories as a hitch, not to mention give your '19 Corolla Hatchback a cool aesthetic. The roof rack I strongly recommend is from Yakima and consists of: - Yakima JetStream...
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Bag for Yakima LoadWarrior Roof RackFor a 2018 Toyota 4Runner and Yakima LoadWarrior rack, my recommendation will be different depending on if you have the # Y07070 with 38-1/2 inch x 38-1/2 inch interior dimensions or # Y07070-74 with interior dimensions of 56-1/2 inch x 38-1/2 Inches. The Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 8.5 cu ft - 43" x 31-1/2" x 11-1/2" # RRLB250 or the Rightline Gear Sport 3 Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 18 cu ft - 48" x 40" x 19" # RL100S30 are the two waterproof options I'd recommend....
view full answer... - Recommended Yakima Rooftop Cargo Basket for 2008 Hyundai Santa FeThe Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07080 will fit on your Santa Fe's roof rack crossbars - whether factory-installed or aftermarket - as long as their crossbar center-to-center spread is between 30- and 38-inches. Due to the large size of this basket you will probably have rear hatch interference when opening the rear door. The smaller Load Warrior # Y07070 will fit your factory roof bars if their center-to-center spread is between 24- and 32-inches. This 44-inch-long...
view full answer... - Direct Fit Roof Mount Cargo Basket Recommendations for a 2007 Subaru ForesterThe SportRack Cargo Basket, # SR9035, is a universal fit item designed to fit as many vehicles as possible. To determine if your 2007 Subaru Forester is compatible, you will need to measure the width of the cross bars that run side to side on the roof. If they are less than 3-1/2 inches thick, then the basket will fit. Yakima lists a basket that is a direct fit for your Forester. It is the LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket, # Y07070. I have included a link to the installation details...
view full answer... - Will Curt Roof Cargo Basket Fit a 2013 Subaru Outback with Factory Folding CrossbarsIt depends on how wide the crossbars are on your 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon. The 15, 22, and 29 inch measurements you mentioned are ones I took personally. It is the center to center distance between the mounting feet in each of the allowed positions on the basket. The feet will accept bars up to 3 inches wide. So if your bars were up to 2-1/2 inches wide but no wider then basket # C18115 will fit. The Yakima LoadWarrior # Y07070 is listed as a fit to the factory rack on your Outback.
view full answer... - Okay to Use Ratchet Straps to Secure Cargo on Yakima LoadWarriorYou could indeed use ratchet straps to secure the cargo to the # Y07070 tray, but you'll want to show a little restraint when ratcheting down the straps. Tight is good, but I've seen folks actually bend their racks by tightening the straps too much. Once you get them good and snug, go no further. During your travels, be sure to stop occasionally to check that everything is still secure. We have a huge array of ratchet straps available, you can see what we have available by using the provided...
view full answer... - Can Spare Tire be Mounted to Sidewall of Tear TrailerMounting a spare tire on a teardrop trailer can be a bit tricky especially if you don't want to use a tongue mount carrier like the CE Smith # CE27310G. Placing the spare tire on the side of your trailer would cause balance issues and I can't really recommend it because the trailer wasn't designed to have something heavy mounted to the outside. Your best option is to mount the spare tire to your tongue and then put your cargo behind the axle to help offset the tongue weight. The only other...

- How to Use Roof Rack Mounted Bike Rack with Yakima LoadWarrior Roof BasketWith the Yakima LoadWarriors like the part # Y07070 what you'd do is use either the front bar of the basket as the front crossbar, or you can use the part # 8870042 so that you can use the fairing, and then use the rear rail edge of the basket for the rear crossbar with a bike rack like the Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103.
view full answer... - Can I Put The Yakima HighRoller Bike Rack On The MegaWarrior PlatformYes, you can attach your Yakima Highroller bike rack to the LoadWarrior basket # Y07070. You simply need to purchase one additional Load bar # 8870042. The Highroller bike rack also uses the universal design clamps, so you can attach it directly to the loadbar just as you would to a roof rack crossbar. The Highroller bike rack is only about 8" wide, so if you were to mount it all the way to the side of the 44" wide cargo basket, you would still have about 35" or 36" of the basket left for...

For a bigger basket you could go with the # Y07070-74. This basket is 18 inches longer that the # Y07070. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

Curt does not have a fit guide for this product so you have to go by the measurements. A safer bet would be to go with a basket that has been confirmed to fit the factory roof rack on your 2006 Hummer H3. Other cargo baskets that are confirmed to fit include the following: Yakima MegaWarrior, # Y07080 Yakima MegaWarrior with...

You could use the Yakima LoadWarrior, # Y07070, MegaWarrior, # Y07080, as well as the models that include an extension, # Y07070-74 and # Y07080-82, can use spare tire carrier bracket # Y07076.

The cargo bag measures 38" long x 34" wide and the LoadWarrior's interior measures 38-1/2" long x 38-1/2" wide so the two will pair together nicely. This does not have a pizza bag style zipper though and instead has a zipper that runs along three sides of the bag so that it can open from the top. There isn't an option that opens...

It comes with everything you would need to install it. Lock cores and keys are included as well.
