I loved it but recently took it down due to noise. If there is a solution please let me know. I will put it back on once a year for hunting.

Mounted to the top of my 2018 F-150 Super Crew Cab. Had Yakima Baselines, with HD Bars, HD Bar Adapters and the locknload crossbar adapters. Wished I was able to install it without crossbars as it requires that I buy them, also adds a bit of height to the the locknload as well.
Very well built, had my wife (125lbs) walking around on it after I mounted the locknload. Took about an hour to assemble the locknload and maybe another hour or two of adjusting the bars to where I wanted the locknload to sit on the roof. Other than it looks a bit too high I do love them. Will probably see what I can do about lowering the locknload in the future.
by: MannyC06/16/2022
So I set this up for my wife's rig for our trip to Pismo Beach, and gotta say loving it! May end up getting one for my other car!
I've been slowing outfitting both of my Subaru's and etrailer.com has been my go to resource not only do they have alot of gear to choose from but shipping and customer service is top-notch! You'll get a followup after your purchase with help/videos on how to properly install if you are a DIYer don't install untill after you have reviewed, as there are alot of helpful hints so your install is smooth.

Lots of wind noise. Good rack overall

Great product and got it fast! Quick installation, definitely I’m ordering more stuff from this company.

I am going to include the Landing Pads, Skyline Towers, LockNLoad adapters, and Pivoting Mounts that are all required for my vehicle in this review of the 84" x 54" LockNLoad Platform. First, I had done months of research trying to figure out what would work and meet my needs for a 2008 GMC Yukon XL. Without the help of etrailer's agent, Ashley, I'd probably still be trying to figure things out! Ashley was patient and thorough, she made sure I had all the parts I needed for a fairly complex (and large!)project. I cannot thank her enough!
On to the assembly and installation: Ashley confirmed that following instructions was key to efficient building - I found that combining online instructions with the included hard copies worked best. As an example, the online fastener images and descriptions are far better than the paper ones. Then, having the paper instructions in hand made "in the moment" progress much faster. All of the Yakima parts fit together perfectly, and by methodically following the instructions (I cannot stress this enough!), including pre assembling Landing Pads, Towers, and Pivoting Mounts, there was no need to backtrack. Once I had a day to devote to the project, everything went very smoothly. Placing the large Platform on the mounts does require two people, but the rest was easy for one fairly handy person to accomplish. Making adjustments to be sure the Platform is centered and square to the roof took some time but it's worth it in the end. Again, thanks to etrailer and particularly Ashley! It was a pleasure doing business with you!

This thing added a great deal of flexibility to my 4Runner. Rock solid and almost limitless options for roof storage allowed me to customize it to transport a kayak and roof box that would never have been possible otherwise.
by: Anand07/26/2022
If you need extra flexibility for carrying items with t-slot mounts this platform is great. We got it for or Audi Q7, primarily because in addition to carrying various stuff we needed to carry a spare tire (Audi just gives a can of goo for your flats) while towing. In addition to the t slots the slats also give lots of flexibility for strapping/ratchet strap mounts etc. Be warned the Yakima mounting accessories are VERY expensive. Quality is very good (except perhaps the plastic parts of the frame gave me pause), it is very sturdy and assembly is straighforward. Although not receommended, we were able to mount a rooftop box. I heard a rumor they may be coming out with t slot roofbox mount kits if you don't want to DIY. Note the box needs to have a flat bottom (lots of the Thule boxes won't work).
by: Rav4 Adventure03/14/2020
Great project, easy to put together and install
by: Lou 04/11/2021
Love it! Used it on our Subaru Outback when we wanted a firmer and wider platform than the stock crossbars. The platform is even more useful than I thought because you can mount accessories (e.g., canoe carriers) all the way to the edge if you use the T-channel to secure them. I would've probably gotten one size smaller had I realized that.
by: Shawn11/15/2021
Love the Yakima LocknLoad 55x49 Platform.. would have been nicer if it was just a few inches longer. Fits really well on the 2019 Grand Cherokee.. and looks even better but at highway speeds (60mph+) you will hear it up there... I've also noticed .5 mpg less which is no biggie...I didn't think the Landing Pads (18) were very stable but once in place.. its rock solid!
by: Gordon 05/27/2020
My order arrived quickly with personal customer service. Glad I took a risk as a first time buyer. I could not be more impressed or satisfied.

Well crafted product. Instructions were easy to follow and assembly only took a few hours.

- Hardware for Mounting Accessories to Yakima LockNLoad Platform RackThe T-Slots on the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack # Y05044-39 have the same dimensions as standard crossbars so you can basically use any brand of T-Bolts to accomplish your job. For example, you can use the Thule Square T-Bolt # 853208914 or the Malone T-Slot Fit Kit # MPG8287.
view full answer... - How Can I Attach A Yakima LockNLoad Platform To My 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon W/ Factory Roof RackYou will be able to carry a LockNLoad Platform on your 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon, but it will not fit on your factory cross bars. In order to carry this platform, you will need the following: SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars, part # Y53TR, Landing Pad 27, part # Y46VR, Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars, part # Y05044-39 LockNLoad SL Adapter, part # Y05042-2, and the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores (QTY 4), part # Y07204.

view full answer... - Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack Compatability With a ZRoadz Overland Rack On a 2021 Jeep GladiatorYou may be able to make a custom mounting bracket as the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack # Y05044-39 are designed to fit onto crossbars which your ZRoadz Overland rack does not have. The clamps used are not going to be large enough to fit around the top bars on your rack. In speaking to both Yakima and ZRoadz they both did not have any tips or additional part recommendations as they have never attempted to fit these parts together. You may be able to attach the pivot mount brackets directly...

- How to Determine Fit of 55 x 49 Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for CrossbarsYou'll need to do just a bit of measuring to determine if you can use the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars - 55" Long x 49" Wide # Y05044-39. I have added diagrams from Yakima below that show you exactly what to measure and the measurements you need to have in order to use the # Y05044-39, which is platform size K. From inside to inside of your roof rack towers the measurement needs to be at least 34" and 45-1/4", and from center to center of your towers (front to back) it...

- Yakima HD Roof Rack and LockNLoad Fitment on a 2021 GMC Yukon AT4The parts you need to build a Yakima HD roof rack kit for the flush rails on your 2021 GMC Yukon AT4 includes the following parts: 60" HD Crossbars - # Y01157 HD Bar SL Adapter - # Y03541 SightLine Towers - # Y64AR SightClip Fit Kit - # Y44UV Lock Core Kit - # Y07204 (optional) This will work great with the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars # Y45UV, but we still need to talk about the weight ratings as you do bring up a great point.

view full answer... - Will the Bolts on Front Runner Accessories Fit the T-Slots of the Yakima LockNLoad's Channels?I have an answer for you. I reached out to my contact at Yakima and they said that they specially make t-slot hardware for accessories that are designed to fit into LockNLoad Platforms like the # Y05044-39. With that being said, there is no way to confirm whether your Front Runner accessories' M8 hex bolts will work with the LockNLoad channels. This is also the case with all other t-slotted platforms we carry. However, Yakima does make many compatible accessories that are designed to...
view full answer... - Is There Any Way To Mount a Table Below The Yakima LockNLoad Roof Top Platform Rack? I do have a recommendation as I do not see any way of being able to mount a table under the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack # Y05044-39. Yakima released their Exo System # Y82VR which you can use with the BackDeck Camping Table # Y84VR. When not needed or traveling the table will fit into the GearLocker Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y44VR on the bottom rack and will also provide you with 10 cubic feet of additional cargo space which is much easier to access.
view full answer... - Will 55" x 49" Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack Fit a 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage EditionYes, the 55" x 49" Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars # Y05044-39 will fit with the OEM crossbars on your 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition just fine. Attached is a review video for you to check out.
view full answer... - Roof Rack For 2020 Ford Ranger to Install Yakima LockNLoad PlatformWe can get you set up with everything you need for your 2020 Ford Ranger so you can use the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars # Y05044-39. I checked with Yakima for you, and this the 55" long x 49" wide LockNLoad, which is the correct size for your truck. To mount it, all you will need is a Yakima roof rack, and you won't have to do any type of drilling as the LockNLoad will fit directly on the roof rack's crossbars. The correct roof rack for your 2020 Ranger is made up of the...
view full answer... - Rhino-Rack or Yakima Platform Rack for Carrying Bikes on an SUVIf you're planning on loading bikes on a platform then the Yakima LockNLoad would be better than the Rhino-Rack Pioneer simply because the LockNLoad is a bit more user friendly when it comes to installing different types of carriers. The 2 most common sizes for the LockNLoad are the 55" Long x 49" Wide # Y05044-39 and the 60" Long x 54" Wide # Y05045-39. All of the larger style require a 3-crossbar mounting system. If you can let me know what SUV you will be using for this I can make...

- Will Cargo Box Work With Yakima LockNLoad On 2019 Toyota Land CruiserThe Yakima LockNLoad Platform Racks like part # Y05044-39 won't work with roof boxes so if you have a 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser the Rhino-Rack Pioneer SX Platform Rack part # JA9134 would be a better option. Furthermore, the LockNLoad requires horizontal crossbars whereas this Pioneer attaches directly to the raised side rails.
view full answer... - Comparing Yakima LockNLoad and Rhino-Rack Pioneer for 2016 Honda PilotThe Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars part # Y05044-39 and Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack for Crossbars part # RR42115BF are both great options for a 2016 Honda Pilot. They each come with crossbar clamps and will work great with a set of Thule crossbars. The main difference between the two is that the Rhino-Rack uses vertical crossbars and the Yakima uses horizontal crossbars. The horizontal crossbars are a bit more widely compatible but there are also a lot of specific...
view full answer... - Can Roof Cargo Box be Installed on Yakima LockNLoad Platform RackThe Yakima SkyBox roof cargo boxes have a clamping mechanism designed to fit around standard crossbars and the slats on the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars # Y05044-39 are larger than standard crossbars and there is no adapter for any Yakima box to fit into a T-Slot like what you find on the LockNLoad. If you're willing to swap out your cargo box though you can use a Thule brand like the Thule Force XT XL # TH6358B and then get the T-Track Adapter # TH27PQ so the box can mount...
view full answer... - Will Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Roof Tray Fit Thule TracRac TracVan Van Ladder RackI do have an option but none of the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Roof Trays will be a good fit for the Thule TracRac TracVan Van Ladder Rack due to the thickness of the crossbars. However, we do have the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack part # Y05044-39 which since it fits thicker crossbars should work just fine. Please note, very few of the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Roof Trays actually attach to standard crossbars.
view full answer... - Is It Possible to Install a LockNLoad to My 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe's Flush Factory Rails?I have an answer for you. I went ahead and reached out to my contact at Yakima, and she confirmed that they do not currently have a fitting/adapters for a direct mounting option of the Yakima LockNLoad to your factory flush rails on your 2021 Chevy Tahoe. There is always the option of a custom installation of the platform, but that process will involve drilling straight into the roof of your vehicle. Another thing that I confirmed is that even without the crossbars installed, there is only...

This will put the platform pretty close to the roof but there isn't really another option to move it closer with this size platform. The crossbar kits are all pretty much going to be around the same height. There is an option to mount the platform directly to the side rails...
view full answer... - Does Weight of Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack Count Against Roof WeightIf your vehicle has a 100 lb roof weight capacity the weight of the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars # Y05044-39 would count against that. So you'd have a total of 57 lbs of cargo weight you could carry.

- Can a Yakima LockNLoad Platform Attach to the Bottom of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer?Yes, you can attach a LockNLoad platform to the bottom of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer item # Y08129 but not that one because it's too wide. Instead you'll need the 84" Long x 49" Wide Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars item # Y05047-39 or the shorter 55" Long x 49" Wide item # Y05044-39. The lower bars on the EasyRider item # Y08129 are larger than most other crossbars and have a 2" diameter but the included mounting kits will accommodate round bars up to 2". The...

The most affordable Yakima crossbar setup is Yakima CoreBar Crossbars Black - 60" # Y00422 with TimberLine Towers Y00147. These crossbars do not have a top channel so you won't be able to install channel-mounted accessories, but the platform rack clamps onto the crossbars so it will work fine. I do, however, recommend spending...
view full answer... - Options For Putting A Yakima Lock N Load Platform On My 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee TrailhawkThe lowest profile option for your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk would be to get the Landing Pad 18 # Y00244 for the Skyline Towers # Y53TR and use the SL adapters # Y05042 for this size Lock N Load Platform (55x49) # Y05044-39. This should get you about 5 inches of clearance from your panoramic roof to the bottom of the platform. This is what I recommend and will be great for hauling your lumber and gear. Just make sure you do not exceed your jeep's roof weight capacity. If for some...

- Does Recovery Track Mount for Yakima OverHaul HD Fit on Yakima LockNLoad PlatformYes since the Yakima LockNload Platforms like part # Y05044-39 have T-slots on top of the crossbeams similar to crossbars the Recovery Track Mount for Yakima OverHaul HD # Y01164 will fit.

However, the BOLT Hi-Lift Jack Mount # BL7028649 will not fit onto the Yakima Overhaul HD Crossbars. These are designed to be mounted to the passenger side # BL7028649 or driver's side # BL7028648 of your vehicle. If you have the LockNLoad system, we do have the Hi-Jack Carrier # Y05033 that will allow you to carry a Hi-Lift Jack with a 50mm standard bar.
