Excellent! these have done the job!

Unfortunately we can’t open rear of 2018 expedition with the top box in place. One of the knob locking pins is/was broken in shipping. I also wish all of the items were keyed the same. This whole setup is 5 keys. I’ll probably call a locksmith and have them all re-keyed if possible.



by:

It is a great system! It gives me a place to put my electric cords, potable hose, grill pans, etc. I have even used it for extra clothing and blankets and gone thru snow and rain and everything stayed dry.



by:

Only complaint is it's on the heavy side! But that's what you get when it's built solidly and to last. Storage box feels slightly thin, but after a few light tests, it should work nicely.



by:

We use this for extra storage in our class B campervan. I'm able to store all the bulky items that don't fit inside the van like chairs, mats, and our grill. I like that it doesn't block the license plate or taillights and still allows access to the Thule bike rack. The SwingBase allows both doors to open for full access into the rear of the van.



by:

Love my bike accessory. been using the storage box for a couple of years and just added the bike carrier. Heading out on our first ride to the Biltmore.

Customer Service is top notch!
We are
just getting started with our modifications and I guarantee you that all of our products will be purchased from etrailer.
Neil went over and above to take care of us, Thank you!



by:

Very interesting! I am pleased with this purchase. All of this equipment is well built and was designed with ease of use and security in mind. The hitch part is surprisingly pretty heavy, but once it is connected this weight gives the hitch a sturdy feel. The lockers are pretty big and the material though light weight feels like it will hold up to some rough miles and a few bruises. It is so nice to have this much dry secure and easy to access storage outside of our vehicle. Customer service was excellent and delivery times were surprisingly short.



by:

The exotic cargo system has worked great on our promaster based class b motor home. We bought the 2 box setup,and it carries plenty, 2 golf bags in one and camping/beach gear in the other. We bought a small utility trailer for longer trips,and swapping the yakimas for the trailer only takes about 15 minutes.



by:

First trip this thing has proven its worth. Put it on the lower level of a two level EXO setup. Bought the wheel kit and it is truly a multipurpose addition. Thanks for the quick delivery!



by:

Very easy to install. Total installation time (not counting taking photos and opening boxes) was approximately 15 minutes. The only issue I encountered was the left handle on the lower rack had a broken piece inside the locking pin assembly. Other than that, everything was quick and smooth for a single person job. This will greatly assist my business by allowing more room for passenger comfort on long trips to and from airports with a large party. Looking forward to putting this to use.



by:

no key for cargo carrier. Cargo crrier was locked when taken out of shipping container. Keys that came with the swing away hitch fit but did not unlock box and did not turn. No key was in shipping container or taped or otherwise affixed to the cargo carrier.



by:

I'm super surprised at just how much fits in these carriers!! Also so sturdy! They hold up fantastic over all terrain.



by:

Product meets all expectations. etrailer quickly replaced a broken Knob Assembly which was damaged during shipping. Vehicle is an Airstream Interstate 24GT. The swing assembly does restrict the Sprinter's right barn door from opening completely, but not a significant issue. We did add our own rear turn signal lights and license plate holder since the factory rear lights restricted ground clearance.



by:

I can't say enough on how much I use the Exo platform on my FJ Cruiser. Best investment I have made for camping and hauling bins to storage.

I highly recommend Yakima Exo system. I'm actually about to buy addotional goodoes for it.

Thanks again, E-Trailer!



by:

Easy to install very strong and high quality. Kate at etrailer said I would find it fantastic. And she was right.



by:

Installed on 2017 Transit 350HD.

First
order on etrailer and the experience was great; really fast shipping and great communication. I was surprised to see it picked and shipped so quick so late in the day, especially for how big this is. It comes in 4 boxes; one giant one and 3 moderately huge ones.

The Yakima EXO system is top notch, great construction. Excellent fit and finish, and pretty easy to assemble. Read the instructions and follow each step and you'll have no issues. I have a bad back and was able to assemble myself, the heaviest part is the swing away hitch - if you can lift about 40-50 pounds it is going to be easy to assemble without any help. I went slow and it only took me about 30-45 minutes.

Tips - the bike rack portion it's not super clear that the rails should not be tight when you put the upper bike rack on. Just set everything in place and it will make getting the bolts through easier.

Pros - it's as advertised. Super sturdy, no shaking/rocking, easy to use. The people who designed this system should be high fiving themselves, it's great.

Cons - none really other than one minor customer experience gripe - you're given enough lock centers to re-key multiple Yakima EXO accessories, I think 4 are included...but it does not come with a master key for removing the lock center. You'll need to buy this separately or do like I did and make your own. Considering they put the effort into including replacement lock centers and give you every tool you'd need, it's a weird oversight.

That being said once you replace the lock center on the cargo carrier you only need 1 key for all of the locks on the system which is awesome.

Ford Transit specific issue I ran into:

When the swing away is open there is a safety latch that holds it open so it will not fall closed on you. This gets in the way of the passenger door opening. But if you remove this (at your risk) you can open the passenger door fully and if you rotate the upper shelf you can even open the door entirely against the side of the van. Also it will 100% block your camera and license plate if it's door mounted.

Absolutely stoked on this system. The cargo box is awesome with internal tie downs and taking it apart to store it in the garage only takes a minute or two. I love how easy the cargo box indexes in place. Every aspect of it has been super satisfying to play with.



by:

This is the perfect setup for family road trips when you need a little extra dry storage. I mounted this on my Rivian R1S and saw no change in range, as opposed to a roof mount system. I only wish Yakima would incorporate a full-size spare mount for the EXO. Also had a favorable experience with etrailer customer service, as one of the locking pins arrived damaged. They were quick to get a replacement part to me at no cost. I couldn't be happier with the EXO or etrailer. I know that sounds corny, but it's true.



by:

Shipping was well packaged and arrived in a timely manner. Instructions could use more detail, especially in terms of aligning screws when re-inserting to join carrier together. Otherwise, easy to put together & use.



by:

We have owned our Yakima swing away cargo carrier for a year and it has been a wonderful addition to our Rubicon. It gives us all the room for our 2 large dogs while carrying our luggage to visit our family. It has been so helpful; it stays on the Rubicon all the time! The way the carrier swings out of the way was critical for the dogs to get access to the rear of the Rubicon. Can't live without our Yakima carrier!



by:

I like the way these go on and off so easily (2 minutes max). I hope others can't see this as well. I've read about others that have had their license plate fall off and can see how this could happen. The holders are plastic screws and nuts attached to a rubber holder. I made a hand-written copy of my plate on sheet metal; bought a metal bracket; and attached with hex cap bolts and locking nuts. I don't really want to hang my plate on this. Would rather the plate be on the car and somewhat blocked by exo carrier as to on the highway 500 miles back. Maybe I'll change my mind after a long trip.



by:

I love that etrailer.com creates consumer ready packages of great products!



by:

I like this box. Once installed (Subaru Outback) works as advertised. The swing arm is heavy. I might put some reflective tape on to make it more visible at night. The plastic "screw in" clamps against an improperly seated carrier groove might cause problems in the future. I've had it on and off several times and you really have to make sure the channels on the bottom of the carrier lineup with the receiver on the Exo arm. My install is batting 50/50 on install on first try.



by:

The EXO system is a very nice universal system. It mounts up easily and is very sturdy. The down fall is the multiple keys you need to interchange all the various attachments. I wound up purchasing and installing all new locks so they could be keyed alike. Would be nice if you could get the same locking system when you purchase multiple pieces at once or specify what lock you need when you purchase individual attachments in the future.

  • Is There a Hitch-Mounted 2-Bike Rack & Cargo Carrier Combination
    There are actually a couple options for a 2-bike rack and cargo carrier combination, depending on what kind of cargo carrier you want. Both are from Yakima; I'll go ahead and list the part numbers for you: - Yakima EXO Swing Away 2 Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier # Y54ZR - Yakima EXO Swing Away 2 Bike Rack w/ Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y34ZR The Yakima EXO even has a swing-away base and the ability to mix and match parts. For example, you could remove the upper bike rack and add the GearWarrior...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Acura RDX
    The 3 hitches you asked about for your 2016 Acura RDX have the following weights when it comes to shipping: etrailer - # e24AR - 27 lbs Curt - # C13130 - 28 lbs Draw-Tite - # 75784 - 29 lbs The actual weight of the hitches is going to be a few pounds less since the shipping weight includes shipping materials. These are all going to have the exact same installation process and since the weight is all comparable it really boils down to preference. For your application I recommend going...

  • Can I Swap Out Ski Carriers on the Yakima EXO Swing Away System?
    The ski carrier item # Y57VR that comes with the Yakima EXO Swing Away Ski and Snowboard Carrier item # Y94ZR has a specially designed base that only works with the Swing Away System. That makes other carriers like the Yakima FatCat EVO item # Y03095 incompatible with the EXO system because they don't have this base.

  • Is There Bike Rack That Converts to Ski Rack
    There is a way to get a system with a bike rack that can be converted to a ski rack. This is called the EXO system from Yakima, and it's a base with arms that allows you to mount different accessories; the base even swings away for easy access to your vehicle's hatch (if your car has a hatch, of course). Here is what you can use: - Yakima EXO Swing Away 2-Bike Rack # Y92VR - Yakima SnowBank Ski and Snowboard Carrier for Modular EXO System - 5 Skis or 4 Boards # Y57VR The EXO and bike...

  • Can I Build My Own EXO Swinging Enclosed Cargo Carrier and Adding Another Part?
    The Rola Swinging Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y62VR has the enclosed carrier on top and a mesh basket on bottom. The # Y74ZR has enclosed carriers on top and bottom. The # Y94ZR has the enclosed carrier on bottom and a Ski and Snowboard carrier on top. You could also "Build your own" by beginning with the the Yakima Exo System Swing Away Hitch Extender - 2" Hitches # Y82VR and then pick from the many EXO options for top and or bottom: Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y44VR Cargo Carrier # Y37VR DoubleUp...

  • Is The Yakima EXO Swing Away Compatible With My Trailer Hitch?
    What you have there is a Curt class 3 trailer hitch. You are correct that it is the standard 2" receiver. This is very common to see on the Ram Promaster vans like your 2021 Winnebago Travoto. The Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System w/ 2 Enclosed Cargo Carriers # Y74ZR will indeed be compatible with your Curt hitch. The main thing to be aware of here is the weight capacity. Your Curt hitch is rated for 350 lbs of tongue weight. The EXO system with two cargo boxes weighs 157 lbs. This...

  • Can the Top Rack of the Stack Rack II # 310-VSR201 Have the Same Size as the Bottom Rack?
    While we do have a two-tiered basket system that offers more storage space, Viking Solutions does not not have an option to make the top basket of the Stack Rack II # 310-VSR201 the same dimensions as the larger bottom basket. The only other option we carry is the Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System w/ 2 Cargo Carriers - 2" Hitches # Y84ZR. Not only does this come with a swinging mechanism that allows you to fully open the trunk of your vehicle by swinging the rack to the side with gear...

  • Best Hitch for a Cargo Carrier on a 2021 Kia Sedona
    The hitch that I recommend for your 2021 Kia Sedona to use a cargo carrier is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13115. This hitch is made in the USA, has a bolt-on, no-drill installation, and will provide you with a 2" receiver opening which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories like a cargo carrier. If you are needing a cargo carrier still, the Yakima EXO Swing Away Cargo Carrier # Y72VR is a really nice carrier that swings away from the vehicle allowing you to have...

  • Is There A Cargo Carrier That Swings Out Or Folds Up.
    I have a solution for you. Reese does not have a swing/fold up cargo carrier, however we do have the Yakima EXO SwingBase with GearWarrior Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches - 60" x 23" # Y72VR. This system can be highly modified and has many attachments to fit all your needs. The License Plate and Tail Light Relocation Kit for Yakima EXO System # Y74VR are the lights you asked about. If you want to add more you can use the TopShelf for Yakima EXO SwingBase # Y94VR. This is the base that will...

  • What Parts are Needed to Use the Yakima GearLocker Enclosed Cargo Carrier
    In order to use the Yakima GearLocker Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y44VR you would need the Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y34VR which would mount in a 2" hitch. You could also get the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y62VR (this consists of both the # Y44VR and # Y34VR) The Yakima EXO System is a modular system that allows you to use a number of different accessories in different configurations. I have included some of those options below. You can also add...

  • Can the Yakima SnowBank be Mounted on the Top and Lower Level of the Yakima Exo System?
    Yes! I confirmed with Yakima that the Yakima SnowBank # Y57VR will work on both shelves (at the same time) of the Yakima Exo System Swing Away Hitch Extender - 2" Hitches # Y82VR. However, the skis that are loaded on the bottom shelf might become dirty from snow/debris during transport. If you want more protection against the snow/debris, you can always install mud flaps or use the top shelf only of the Exo system with the Snowbank. For the other skis, you can use a roof-mounted carrier...

  • Best Way to Carry Bikes and Skis for Seasonal Sports on 2022 Ford Bronco with Spare Tire
    I have 2 different solutions for you and the biggest factor is honestly your budget. The more cost-effective option gives you exactly what you're asking for on your 2022 Ford Bronco so I'll start with that, but it also sounds like you're a pretty active person so I want to throw another setup in the works after that. For the cost-effective setup that gives you exactly what you're looking for you need the Kuat Pivot 2 # PVP20B, the Thule Range 4 Bike RV Rack # TH9057, and the Thule Tram...

  • Can The Yakima SnowBank Ski And Snowboard Carrier Be Mounted On Any Yakima Cross Bars?
    The Yakima SnowBank Ski and SnowBoard Carrier # Y57VR will only work with the Yakima EXO Swing Away Cargo Carrier # Y72VR and the TopShelf for Yakima EXO SwingBase # Y94VR, and will not work with regular Yakima cross bars, like the Yakima Jetstream Crossbars # Y00425. Instead, you'll want to use the Yakima FreshTrack 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier # Y03093. This carrier can carry 6 pairs of skis, 4 snowboards, or 8 fishing rods, and will fit on round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory...

  • How to Lock All Yakima Accessories w/ the Same Key
    Hey Bob! Not sure what locks you're talking about but I saw you previously purchased the Yakima EXO Swing Away item # Y54ZR and the Yakima SnowBank Ski and Snowboard Carrier item # Y57VR. A great perk of Yakima's products is you can buy larger lock core kits 6 item # Y07206 or 8 item # Y07208 and have all your Yakima accessories controlled by the same key. If this isn't the lock system you're looking for, go ahead and comment below with some more information about what you're wanting to...
