Specs:
The SkyBox NX lid opens from both sides so you can easily access cargo from the driver's side or passenger's side of your vehicle. If you are parked on a busy street, in a tight parking lot, or even next to a campground picnic table, you have the option of opening the lid from the side of the vehicle that works best for you.
The fortified lid has an easy-access edge and spring-loaded hinges that allow for smooth, one-handed operation. Also, since the lid is extra-stiff, it helps reduce road noise and vibration. Finally, it has a nano-texture finish that helps guard against dings and scratches when you're on the road or when the box is in storage.
The SkyBox has security latches on both sides to ensure the lid is completely closed and locked. This system prevents you from removing the key from the lock unless all 3 internal latches are engaged. That way, you are prevented from removing the key and driving off with an unlocked box. Also, the SKS lock core can be swapped out to make all your Yakima gear keyed alike.
The SkyBox installs with mounting clamps that slide along tracks in the floor of the box. These clamps fit most crossbar styles and they adjust for different crossbar spreads. To adjust the clamps, loosen the knobs with the included torque tool and slide them to the desired location. Then, tighten the knobs and close the clamps around your crossbars.

#1- this is the BEST roof box( for me )I have ever seen/ owned and I’ve had Thule pulse and Force boxes and other Yakima’s . I like the textured finish - looks rugged and speak at the same time. The metal tubular frame on interior really helps with the rigidity of the ABS plastic. The lever opening and closing is very nice especially because it clicks when closed so your not jamming the key hoping all guides are lined up like in the Thule pulse.. also the squareish lines match my 2nd gen Tundra wonderfully
#2- etrailer has always been a Go Too for me mainly due to their excellent customer service . Their response time is excellent and the team is very knowledgeable and eager to help.
#3- only reason for the non 5 star review is shipping took 7-8 days longer than expected … which threw a wrench in personal travel plans… I ordered this item through etrailer and not Yakima due to expected delivery date… didn’t work out. However the item did arrive in excellent condition when it arrived .
If you’re reading this review to see if The Sky Box NX is worth the money then hell yes it is …& would I purchase it again through etrailer… probably ;) they are great people and feels good to support them.
Fast shipping. Works great on a 2023 Pa thfinder
Great service
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
I'm super surprised at just how much fits in these carriers!! Also so sturdy! They hold up fantastic over all terrain.
I love that I can put two bicycles that weigh under 50 pounds on this rack. My Ebike weighs 46 lbs , so it just makes the cut. At age 57, I do not want to be lifting 46 lbs up too high.. and possibly hurt my back! With this rack, I can toggle the bike and lift less than 30 pounds at a time. It’s fabulous.
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.
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!
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.
Easy to install very strong and high quality. Kate at etrailer said I would find it fantastic. And she was right.
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.
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.
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!
