Can Yakima SkyBox 12 Fit Rhino Rack Roof Rack of 2017 Ford Explorer

Question

Question:

I have a 2017 Ford Explorer and a Yakima Skybox 12. I need to buy a roof rack for this car. Do I have to buy a Yakima rack or will the Skybox also work with a Rhino roof rack?

The Yakima SkyBox 12 # Y07334 fits more than just the Yakima rack roof racks. It would fit a Rhino Rack roof rack like the # RRVA137B-2, # RRRCH4, # RRRCP45-BK quite well. The Rhino Rack bars are very similar in shape to the Yakima bars.
