We decided on the Yakima HD bars for the higher weight capacity and the tie-downs on the ends of the bars. They are extremely solid and the Thule box fits perfectly. When not running the box, we plan to carry a kayak and 2 SUP boards. At times we might even use the box off-center with boards on one side. The HD bars are a little longer than the Aero bars (sort of an in between size). The wind noise is negligible unless the sun roof is open. I have not had the aero bars, so I don’t have a comparison, but the HD bars are much more solid which is what we wanted. I would recommend the HD bars if you plan on carrying more/heavier gear. So far, we love them. As for Scheel’s, it’s my new favorite store!!

Now, if they would just build a brick and mortar store in Nashville, I’d be set! Until then, I’ll settle for shopping with them on line.

These are great bars, I had one issue with them which was on my vehicle I had significant (rather annoying) whistling from speeds 30-50mph. The whistle persisted with the rubber strips in or out. I just found a great solution! I Removed the strip from the top of the front bar and cut it to size and inserted it on the underside of the bar. No more whistle. I think Yakima should provide stripping for both sides of the bars and would probably help quite a bit.

I am running XL or L crossbars depending on my trip requirements. I am using these on the Overhaul HD adjustable towers attached to a Retrax XR Pro Tonneau on a 2019 Raptor (5.5' bed).The Large sticks out a few inches from the tower on each side allowing me to fit both a large roof top tent (Tepui Autana 3 Ruggedized) and an awning (ARB). The XL sticks out an additional 5" per side which allows the mounting of the Yakima skinny warrior basket between the tent and awning!I have not had any bowing or whistling. I have trimmed some of the rubber gasket on the top, so even the top has some of the channel exposed depending on what I am carrying. Overall, I am very happy with these bars.

These bars are very stiff yet light weight and quieter than others I've used. Even on a Bolt EV loaded with 3 kayaks I didn't notice any whistling or humming noise. I've used the end loops and 2 sets of Eye Bolts for any loads carried so far. Front and back straps for the kayaks of course on the highway but for local trips the racks are solid enough they aren't needed.
These are burly, strong good looking bars. However, they have an annoying whistle at any speed from 20mph to about 60mph. Also, Yakima includes a T-Slot cover for the top slot but not the bottom. Seriously? Next, no T-Slot bolts are included and it’s not clear if you have to use ONLY M8 bolts or if M6 bolts will also work. As usual Yakima’s website has limited information and finding small parts is an exercise in frustration. Finally, we have the price. They were always expensive but in the years price has increased almost $100 from pre-pandemic.
Got these a month ago to replace the factory crossbars. Installation kit (that was with the towers) comes with absolutely everything you need to install. Including a torque limiting Allenwrench. Very strong bars. They do come with one set of inserts for the groove to reduce noise, but it would be nice if they had included a second set for the top. Definitely notice increased wind noise on the highway over the factory bars that were more aerodynamic. Was a little difficult to install and get even on top of my car.
Thank you! Very nice HD crossbars with end tie point. Awesome!!! A+++
I haven't seen any other reviews so I thought I'd post my experience. I purchased a set of small length racks to replace round bars that were slightly bowing under the weight of my hardshell carrier when it was loaded. While I got a substantial amount of wind noise with my round bars, that doesn't seem to be a problem with these. HOWEVER, I do get whistling while driving between 15mph-60mph enough that my wife commented a few times about the annoyance. At highway speeds (60+), the whistle disappears. I can't tell if the whistle is coming from the open bottom T-channel or the end caps. Note: the bars are directional and so I made sure to mount them arrow pointing forward. I would recommend the bars for heavy loads, but anything <165lbs, just go with the other options.
Strong, high-quality bars. Easy to install and adjust to needed height. The top has a rubber strip so they don't get damaged when loading items on top. These are perfect width for my 2019 Ford Ranger, almost even with the cab, the medium bars would also work but they would stick out beyond the cab a few inches on each side.
Have had this setup on my car for about 16 months, and still holding up well. I have the 10G roadshower, the GrandTour 18 box, the skinny warrior and the slim shady awning up there, and still have room :). Ive driven maybe 10,000 miles, and again still holding up beautifully. I know this is "overkill" for most folks, but living in Utah, you gotta be ready for anything :)
