Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket Review - 2018 Ford Escape

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at Etrailer, and today we have the Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Basket. We're gonna take a look at how it fits our 2018 Ford Escape. If you're looking for a way to expand your cargo space, maybe you have a big trip planned and not everything's gonna fit inside your Ford Escape, or maybe you want to carry around the gear for the other accessories you're carrying on your roof, that's where the Yakima SkinnyWarrior can come in handy. It's gonna be a skinny roof basket with dimensions of 58 inches long by 23 inches wide, so if you needed to carry other things, like a kayak, or a roof-mounted bike rack, you can do so while still having that extra cargo space. This is how much space you have left over for those other accessories. Now, I do have this on 60 inch long Yakima bars, and we have it on the overhang of those bars, but even if we had a roof rack without overhang, there'd still be room left over for those other accessories. more

Flint Hill Goods Roof Cargo Basket Review - 2021 Ford F-150

How's it going everybody Today we are going to be taking a look at the Flint Hill Goods Cargo Basket and how it fits on our 2021 Ford F-150. Typically, this might sit on the roof, but in our case we have it on the bed rack system that we have installed on our F-150, just 'cause that's gonna make our items much easier to get to and we can still use our bed while getting this up on top and increasing the storage space overall of our vehicle. So let's take a closer look. Our basket is gonna be made out of durable black powder coated steel. The whole construction is going to be that material, so it's gonna hold up really well against rust and corrosion, and all of these points, including the top and bottom rails as well as the rails that go through are gonna be points where we can strap things down to, which I definitely recommend. And we have strap kits here available at etrailer. more

Hi everyone, Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Flint Hill Goods Rooftop Cargo Basket, and seeing how it fits on our 2022 Ford Maverick. Now, a basket's gonna be good to just get some extra stuff in your vehicle, whether the bed is full or maybe covered up, and we're gonna get some extra stuff up on top of the vehicle. Inside the Maverick, you don't have a whole lot of room, besides your room for passengers. So if you maybe have some camping gear or things you wanna put up here that isn't gonna fit in the bed or you just wanna keep the bed open for other stuff, this is a great place to do it. This is a pretty basic basket, not a whole lot of extra bells and whistles to it, but that's why it's kind of nice. more

Something like a basket's a nice option, because we can put it up on top of the vehicle, it's very easy to clean, and it doesn't get any of the mess inside.

Hey, everybody welcome to etrailer.com. I'm Bobby, and today we're taking a look at the Curt roof mounted cargo basket here on our 2020 Ford Edge. So if you guys are looking for a way of just getting a little bit of that cargo out of your vehicle and on top of your roof, this is definitely gonna be an excellent way to do it. What's nice about it We're not gonna be breaking the bank, but we're still getting a very nice secure way of going ahead and latching on our cargo, that way it's with us whenever we get to our destination. Now the Ford Edge here doesn't have the worst cargo management out there I think it has a pretty decent back end of course, but as soon as you load up four people in a vehicle, it quickly fills up, especially, you guys are finding yourself on a longer road trip or something like that, especially fitting all the snacks in, so this is an excellent way of getting that bulky cargo out of there, freeing up some space. Secondly, it's really good for anything like sports activities, if we do have those big old gym bags or sets of football gear, soccer, whatever, baseball, we're setting in all that soiled linens on the inside of the vehicle, can definitely get a little musty, kind of get that smell, right. more
