Can I Attach My Yakima OffGrid and High Roller to Rhino-Rack HD Crossbars?
Question:
Thanks Bob. I may just add another Yakima round bar with the skyline towers to help spread the load to a 3rd crossbar.

Since you have Yakima tracks like the # Y01126 installed on your 2014 Ford F-150, a great option is the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Thule and Yakima Tracks - 2 Heavy-Duty Crossbars - 65" # Y01-140B-NT. The Rhino-Rack HD crossbars provide you with 220 pounds of maximum weight capacity. There are no other heavy duty crossbar setups that are compatible with the Yakima tracks that have a larger weight capacity (or go over 165 pounds).
Even though Yakima cannot confirm for sure, my representative said that you should be able to use the Yakima Offgrid Cargo basket like the # Y07138 to clamp around the Heavy-Duty crossbars with no issue. As far as the older Yakima High Roller Bike Racks, you unfortunately will not be able to use them with the HD crossbars. However, you can use the newer Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount # Y02114 with the SmarT-Slot Mounting Kit # Y02122 to install into the top channels of the crossbars. I confirmed with Yakima that the SmarT-Slot kit does not work with the High Roller bike rack.
