Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket Review - 2024 GMC Sierra 1500- Video

How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Yakima Skinny Warrior Rooftop Rack Cargo Basket on our 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. Adding a rooftop cargo basket is a great way to increase your cargo capacity and get those bigger bulkier items on the road with you, especially if you're loaded down with your crew cab and you have passengers on the inside. The thing that makes the Skinny Warrior cool is the fact that it doesn't take up your entire roof, so it frees up half of your roof rack system for maybe a cargo box or even kayak carriers or a bike carrier. The skinny warrior is 58 inches long. There's an available 16 inch extension to get you additional space if you we inchesre to need that. On the Sierra additional 16 inches will get you hanging over the bed, but you know it's still available and it would work. more

Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket Review - 2022 GMC Terrain- Video

Hey everybody, Cooper here at etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima SkinnyWarrior on our 2022 GMC Terrain. Now, why might you need something like the SkinnyWarrior Well, if you have additional luggage or cargo that you can't quite fit in your vehicle or maybe it's something that is a little bit dirty, maybe a little bit muddy and you don't want it on the inside of your vehicle, the SkinnyWarrior is going to provide us an excellent opportunity to be able to still carry that on our vehicle without having it inside our vehicle. Now, our basket is going to be made out of a black powder-coated steel, which just means that's a very strong construction being made of steel, meaning any of our bars are going to be excellent tie down points. And even though it is made of steel, it still comes in at about 23 pounds, which is pretty lightweight, and that black powder coat finish is going to help us stand up to the elements and be pretty corrosion resistant. Now, any time you use this, you maybe end up scuffing or scratching it, that means we are going to be more prone to some corrosion in those areas. more

Our basket is going to be made out of a steel construction with a black powdered coat finish, which just means it's going to be extremely durable and we can use any point of our basket here as a tie-down point for some items in it, while also being corrosion resistant. more

Flint Hill Goods Roof Cargo Basket Review - 2020 GMC Terrain- Video

How's it going, everyone Right now, we are going to be taking a look at the Flint Hill Goods Rooftop Cargo Basket, we're gonna see how it fits on our 2020 GMC Terrain. With the Terrain, we do have a good amount of storage, but if you're taking some kind of road trip or maybe just have some larger or messier items that you'd rather not keep inside your car and you want to get them up on your roof, as long as you have a roof rack system in place, this is going to be a great entry level way to do that, so let's take a closer look at how it works and how it fits. My first impression of this basket is that although it does come in at a value price, it does really look sturdy, it looks like pretty much all the roof baskets on the market that have a similar built quality. I mean, it does have that premium finish, but it doesn't come in at that premium price, which I think is really cool. It does have a weight capacity of 165 pounds, keeping in mind though that it does have the weight, as well as your roof rack and your roof rails and your roof of your vehicle are gonna have different weight ratings, so make sure you know what each of those are, go by the lowest rated component just to be safe. On our basket here, we have steel tubing that runs across the top and the bottom as well as straight across to hold our gear. more

Yakima Roof Basket Review - 2016 GMC Sierra 2500- Video

Hey, guys. Today we have a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500, and we're going to a test fit on the Yakima Off-grid Rooftop Cargo Basket. Now, the cargo basket mounts to the roof rack of your Sierra. It allows you to get any type of gear, whether it's cargo, luggage, sports and recreational gear, out of your truck, out of your bed and on top of your roof.Now, it's kind of got this nice rugged look to it that, in my opinion, adds to the looks of our Sierra right here. It's an open basket design, so if you have any materials that are sensitive to the elements, whether you got something that's going to be sensitive to water or even the sun, you may want to consider getting an enclosed cargo box. We have plenty of those here at etrailer. more
