Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket Review - 2015 Toyota 4Runner

Hi everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today we're taking a look at our Yakima SkinnyWarrior roof mounted, cargo basket, right here on our 2015 Toyota 4Runner. A very common question is if I do have cargo on my roof, can I still open my hatch As you can see here on our 4Runner, we still have plenty of clearance from the top of our hatch door and the back of our cargo carrier. Now, if you need to, you can also push this more towards the front of your vehicle, if you need more clearance, especially with the 16 inch long extension, but on its own, the SkinnyWarrior is a great fit. So if you're taking your 4Runner out for adventures and you want to carry some extra cargo, that you can't really fit inside your vehicle, or you may not want it inside your vehicle, that's where a roof mounted cargo basket like this comes in handy. more

Yakima Roof Basket Review - 2021 Toyota 4Runner

Hey, everybody, I'm Bobby. And today at etrailer.com, we're taking a look at our Yakima OffGrid Cargo Basket on our 2021 Toyota 4Runner. The thing to keep in mind with the 4Runner here, as you can see, these raised rails are actually pretty backset on the vehicle, The thing to keep in mind, especially you're adding that extension onto the cargo room roof rack as well, is that this door does swing up a little bit here, so be mindful of the space. If I do a quick measurement here, looks like about 17 inches or so to the back of that cargo basket. That can get a little troublesome especially you add any long items, so just keep that in mind. And right away, as you can see here, this cargo basket is gonna give us a lot of room. more

Today in our 2012 Toyota Forerunner, we're going to be doing a test fit on the Rola Atlas Roof Mounted Cargo Basket.
