This is sobeasy to install! It only took me 20 minutes. This definitely gives me much needed storage space for my 2023 Thor Scope 18M



by:

After you learn how to use it it works great



by:

Stout and well executed. EASY to install.
Could use some ergonomic tweaks (I’m 70),
but overall is a very good value.
We’ll see, cuz we haven’t gone 10K miles yet...
etrailer rocks btw

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:

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:

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.



by:

Great product. The whole Yakima exo system is one the best purchases ever. Extremely sturdy construction with many options available for multiple configurations.



by:

Really loved this product. Easy installation, quality tools provided as with the entire Yakimo package. Great product support from the entire Etrailer team especially Kelsey S. Thank you!!
I used a patio table cover ( under $20) to keep out dirt, bird droppings etc.while storing outside.



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!

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 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:

Built to Last. Some people have commented on the cost of this, but if you see one you'll know why. Incredible construction and engineering in this system. You can add on so many other things, like cargo boxes, cargo carriers, a second level, camping stove and table, ski rack, nothing else compares. Different attachments can be swapped out in seconds.



by:

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

  • Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin for Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender
    Yakima has a few different anti-rattle threaded hitch bolt designs and the one you want for your Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y34VR is part # Y52FR on our site. This is the same as the 8880953 you mentioned, it just has our part number instead.

  • Is There Any Difference In Purchasing the Yakima EXO Swing Away and 2-Bike Rack Individually?
    The only benefit in ordering the Yakima EXO Swing Away 2-Bike Rack # Y92VR is it all come together as one item for ease of adding to your cart. The Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y34VR comes with 2 additional mating SKS locks that you can add to the Yakima DoubleUp 2 Bike Rack for Modular EXO System # Y24VR or any other Yakima SKS accessory. The cylinders will come with the base no matter if it is purchased individually or as a combo. Once you receive the SwingBase,...

  • Can TopShelf For Yakima Exo SwingBase be Used in Vertical 2 Inch Hitch
    Hey Brian, There is not an adapter or any way to use the TopShelf for Yakima EXO SwingBase # Y94VR in a vertical 2 inch receiver. The TopShelf does require you to use the Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y34VR. If you're looking for a way to carry bikes on your trailer tongue we do have something for that, the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LGA55VR.

  • Yakima Modular EXO SwingBase Cargo System Compatibility On a 2022 Kia Carnival Minivan
    While we have not used the Yakima EXO SwingBase # Y34VR on your 2022 Kia Carnival we have used it on a 2020 Honda Odyssey(see video below), so I see no reason you will not be able to use this on your Kia. The base is mounted on the upper portion of the hitch that slides into the receiver tube. And the arms angle up to help reduce the chances of it contacting the ground on steep driveways or curbs. Here is a list of the accessories you can add to the EXO SwingBase. TopShelf for Yakima...

  • Recommended 4 Pin Male To 7 Pole Vehicle End Adapter
    When it comes to getting a wiring adapter that goes from a 4 pin male to a 7 pin round adapter I recommend The Curt Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way to 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat # C57672. The harness is 17 inches, and has a simple installation where the wiring harness plugs into the existing 4-way flat connector and hardwires to the existing wiring to get additional functions needed for 7-way. I attached a review video link below.

  • Mounting Hardware for Yakima SkinnyWarrior Basket to Fit Yakima EXO SwingBase
    Hey Patrick, thanks for reaching out! The GearWarrior # Y37VR and SkinnyWarrior # Y07014 have different dimensions and when I reached out to my contact at Yakima they said they haven't given the green light on using the SkinnyWarrior with the EXO SwingBase # Y34VR. With that being said, the replacement mounting hardware for the GearWarrior includes parts # Y46QJ and # Y66QJ so if you wanted to try using your SkinnyWarrior, you're more than welcome to! Please note that you'll need 2 of...

  • Can The Yakima GearWarrior Cargo Basket Be Mounted To Thule Roof Rack?
    The Yakima GearWarrior Cargo Carrier # Y37VR can only be used on the EXO SwingBase # Y34VR or TopShelf # Y94VR. We do have the Yakima SkinnyWarrior # Y07014 which is nearly identical in size and will work with your Thule roof rack. It can be mounted to a crossbar spread of 24" to 38" so you will just need to ensure your crossbars have a spread inside these measurements.

  • Will Yakima EXO Swing Away Cargo Carrier Clear Doors on 2023 Roadtrek Zion on Ram ProMaster 3500
    The # Y62VR shouldn't have any issues clearing the doors on your 2023 Roadtrek Zion on the Ram ProMaster 3500 chassis. The extender # Y34VR measures 33" from the center of the receiver out to the arm if you want to measure just to be sure. I have attached a picture along with a link to a review below where a customer said it allows both doors to open for full access into the rear of the van. They have a Thor Sequence which is also built on the ProMaster 3500 chassis.

  • Availability of Swingaway Kit for Yakima EXO and Does Light Kit Fit
    For the Yakima EXO kits they offer a swing base with the part # Y34VR that will allow you to swing the rack away from the rear of the vehicle to access the rear door. Since the light kit part # Y74VR attaches to the rear of the rack it would swing away with rack and would work perfectly fine.

  • How to Tell if Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender Will Clear Rear Van Doors
    The Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y34VR measures 33" from the center of the receiver out to the arm. While this should be enough room for you to open up the rear doors on your 2005 Ford Econoline, we haven't test fit this application so you can use this measurement to do so. I'm attaching a review video where we go over some of these measurements as well as a sheet showing some other dimensions of this system for you to check out.

  • Can the Yakima HangTight Bike Rack Be Tilted with Bikes Loaded or Be Used with a Swing Away Arm
    The Yakima HangTight Bike Rack for 6 Bikes # Y39GR is only meant to be tilted with no bikes loaded. That is how the rack was designed and tested. Could you potentially tilt it with only a couple loaded, yes. But that is not recommended and will void any warranty claim should something happen. There is also a chance the rack will not tilt fully before the wheels on the bikes come into contact with the ground. The HangTight does not work with the Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away # Y34VR or...

The Base # Y34VR is going to measure 29" from the center of the receiver to the locking pin on the hinge. It will also sit 8" above the top of the receiver to the top of the pin.

    The Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y34VR can only be used with EXO accessories so it will not work with your non-Yakima hitch-mounted bike rack.

  • Can The Yakima EXO GearWarrior Cargo Basket Mount to Yakima Crossbars?
    For mounting a basket on your crossbars you will need to use the Yakima SkinnyWarrior # Y07014 as the Yakima GearWarrior Cargo Carrier # Y37VR can only be mounted to the Yakima EXO SwingBase # Y34VR or TopShelf # Y94VR.

  • What are the Dimensions of the Yakima EXO Swing Away Rack

Though the measurement from the pin hole to the closest edge of the carrier is not included in said diagrams, the person I spoke with at Yakima said it is 5 1/2 inches.

  • Swinging Cargo Carrier/Hitch Options to Fit 2-Inch Class III Hitch on 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    The 2-inch hitches offered for your 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee are all Class III rated, with a maximum tongue weight capacity of 500-lbs. All can be seen using the link provided. The issue that arises with use of fixed hitch adapter/steps like the units you reviewed, # MT70069 from MaxxTow, is that they have the unavoidable side-effect of reducing your hitch's capacity by half (50 percent). This is because all such devices alter the geometry of the forces applied to the hitch. On the...

The only reduction it would cause to your 350 lbs capacity would be the 65 lbs weight of the EXO SwingBase itself. If you are looking for accessories the Yakima GearWarrior Cargo Carrier for Modular EXO System item # Y37VR is 60" Long x 23" Wide and can hold up to 250 lbs of cargo.

You are supposed to use the 2 extra lock cores that came with the Yakima EXO and install them onto the Yakima DoubleUP Bike Rack. If you do not have these extra lock cores then you can match up your existing lock cores for some extras; this way they will be keyed alike and you can use the same key.
