Will Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Carrier # S65415 Fit 2013 GMC Yukon w/ Factory Bars

Question:

Can you tell me if this swagman Exo aero wing will fit factory crossbars on 2013 GMC Yukon? Also, is the tie down buckles metal or plastic? Last thing, is there a weight limit or width limit for these wings? I have a 34inch wide and 75 pound kayak that I would be buying for?

I spoke with my contact at Swagman and the Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Carrier System, # S65145, will fit on your 2013 GMC Yukon factory crossbars. The tie down buckles are metal and as for weight limit, you will be bound by the capacity of the vehicle's roof. The carrier will either meet or exceed this capacity.

Now for the width. Since you mention that your kayak is 34 inches wide, this is quite wide so I recommend going with something that can adjust for wider kayaks, instead. For that, we have the Thule DockGrip, # TH895. The four saddle-style cradles will provide the perfect mounting width for your kayak. I have included a short video for you.
