Save on gas and buy the smaller vehicle and still carry your outdoor assets with the use of Yakima racks. Yakima racks and products make sure that your outdoor gear travels with you, without compromising a spot inside the car. Thanks to Yakima’s innovation, your gear can be transported through the design of roof racks, strap racks, hitch racks and via truck solutions.
Yakima’s roof racks
are the best and most popular means of carrying your outdoor assets atop a solid roofed vehicle. Yakima roof racks can accommodate a variety of assets including but not limited to kayaks, canoes, snowboards, skis, bikes, and cargo boxes. Towers and crossbars are the only pre-requisites to purchasing a Yakima roof rack. If you don't have them, no worries, you can purchase them separately. Yakima LoadWarrior is featured on the left.

For simplicity and little permanence, go with a Yakima strap rack. Strap racks generally can fit with any vehicle with a rear trunk: sedan, SUV, station wagon, etc. The rack attaches simply to your trunk and can be removed and folded and stored one you are finished with.
Yakima hitch racks work accordingly with a hitch on the back of your vehicle albeit truck, jeep,
minivan, etc. There are different options to accommodate varying hitch sizes and provide fold down or swing away so that accessibility into the rear of your vehicle is amenable. Yakima BigHorn 4 is featured on the left.
There are three main Yakima rack options for pick up trucks. You can use a rack for the roof of the cab (like an SUV); put your bikes in the bed of the truck; or if you are interested in transporting goods in addition to bikes consider the Outdoorsman 3000. This allows a second layer of storage, above the flatbed, for kayaks, cargo boxes, etc.
Yakima racks are a small price to pay for getting you and your gear to the mountains. Gear up for nature with the use of Yakima racks, so your gear will be out of sight, out of mind and yet arrive when you arrive.
