Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket Review - 2020 Toyota RAV4

Hey everybody, Cooper here at etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket on our 2020 Toyota RAV4. Now, for something like a rooftop cargo basket, what uses does it have Well, if you're wanting to carry around some of those bigger, bulkier items, maybe like fishing rods and wanting to keep them out of your vehicle, or maybe just need some additional storage space, all of those are perfectly legitimate regions for needing a rooftop cargo basket like this. Our rooftop basket is going to have a weight capacity of 165 pounds, but do keep in mind that our roof rack system, as well as some of the components on our car might have their own separate weight capacities, and we wanna make sure we are catering to our lowest number possible. That way, we just don't overload anything and potentially cause any permanent damage to any of our systems. Carrier is going to weigh 23 pounds, which is pretty impressive. more

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Review - 2022 Toyota RAV4- Video

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Review - 2022 Toyota RAV4

Hi, everyone, Aidan here at etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at this Curt Roof-Mounted Cargo Basket and seeing how it fits on our 2022 Toyota RAV4. This is going to be the larger version of Curt's roof-mounted basket. They make one that's a little bit more square, but shorter, but this one has the extension piece in the middle. And the reason for that today is because the roof rack that fits on this particular RAV4 has a really wide crossbar spread, which is gonna make it hard to attach baskets, because a lot of them are meant for a more narrow crossbar spread. So you're gonna have to be looking at bigger boxes to accommodate that if you have the same roof rack setup that we have that utilizes these fixed mounting points. more

Yakima Roof Basket Review - 2020 Toyota RAV4

Hey everybody, welcome to etrailer.com, I'm Bobby, and today we're taking a look at the Yakima OffGrid Roo Mounted Cargo Basket here on our 2020 Toyota RAV4. Now this can be an excellent way, guys, of getting a lot more cargo space getting up on top of the roof and therefore we don't have to even add anything on the back of our hitch. You don't have to worry about a hitch, the only thing we're going to need, a nice little roof rack system to make sure that this works. Now we do have it on here on the Rhino-Rack here today, but you can make it work on almost any crossbar system, so whether it be round, square, factory, or aero, you should have no trouble at all getting on it. One little thing I will say when considering what kind of crossbar to get, if you are wanting to start utilizing Yakima's same key system, it could benefit you to go ahead and just grab a Yakima roof rack. Now, of course, as we said, you don't have to do that, but that will begin as to go ahead and start getting all of our locking cores keyed alike, utilizing Yakima's same key system. more
