Yakima Ski and Snowboard Racks Review - 2017 Toyota Highlander- Video

Hi everyone, Aiden here with etrailer.com, and today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Yakima FatCat EVO Four Ski and Snowboard Carrier here on our 2017 Toyota Highlander. Now, this style of carrier is gonna hold it between these two arms on the roof. Now, to open these, we've got these nice large buttons, easy to hit with the palm of my hand, so if I've got gloves, mittens on, it's gonna be easy to open. And our gear is going to be held in between these two arms like we said, in with these very large rubber pads. These are gonna keep things tightly gripped down, nice and secure, but also protect them. It's gonna be a really good amount of push in there, so none of our equipment's gonna get damaged. more

Hi everyone, Aiden here with etrailer.com, and today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Yakima FreshTrack Ski and Snowboard Carrier here on our 2017 Toyota Highlander. Now, this style of carrier is going to hold it on your roof and in between these two arms with these very thick rubber pads. Those rubber pads are going to keep things nice and well gripped as well as cushioned and protected, so all of our gear's gonna be nice and safe up there, it's gonna hold it really well going down the road, and overall, be a great way of carrying that kind of long gear that might otherwise be hard to put in the car. Now, one thing I really like about this Yakima one is the very large buttons. This makes it really easy to open up, especially if you've got something like mittens on, you just hit it with the palm of your hand, and it goes up like that. They're spring loaded, so they stay open, and I can just grab my gear, take it off the rack, and set it aside. more

Yakima Ski and Snowboard Racks Review - 2020 Toyota RAV4 Y02418- Video

Evangeline: Hi, it's Evangeline at etrailer.com, and today we are looking at the Yakima HitchSki and Snowboard Bike Rack Carrier Adapter for Hitch Mounted Bike Racks here on our 2020 Toyota RAV4.This is a great option if you already have a bike rack, or if you do not have or want a roof rack system, but you still want to carry around your skis and snowboards. We have here one snowboard and one pair of skis, but this can actually fit up to six pairs of skis or four snowboards. Personally, though, I have found that this works best with up to four pairs of skis, but it really depends on the shape and size of your skis.As for dimensions, the fit on your RAV4 depends on what bike rack you are using. We are currently using the etrailer four bike hanging style rack here on our RAV4. But if you have farther or closer bike racks, it depends on where the first and the fourth cradles sit.Ideally, if it fits your bike rack, your bike rack would have the first and the fourth cradle, 17 inches and three fourths inches apart, but you can give or take half an inch. For dimensions and how much you can fit on here, from the top of the top arm to the bottom of the bottom arm, it is about 18 inches long. more
