Yakima Exo hitch Rack system

[Name Redacted]

Looks pretty cool. Low box for gear, then the upper can hold bikes, skis, a table, gear rack, etc. Looks like the gear racks comes off and makes a trailer. Lots of options. But it ain't cheap...

It does look cool. Using that as a ski box in the winter though, it will get destroyed by salt and road grime in quick order.

Could be pretty cool for camping, and I see a lot of utility with something like a four wheel camper if you are already running a bike rack. A lot of tongue weight though.

Yeah, and it sits pretty low. Could be good on a higher lifted vehicle, but a Rav4 would drag it a lot anywhere unpaved.

FYI the ski racks are clamp style, not the box. I think the box is too short.

They also have rooftop box w/ solar.

I mean, it is "overland inspired" so it must be awesome. Problem is neither Ashley nor Daniel know how to drive whist using there mirrors. I saw a chick at the gas station yesterday with a 4 bike hitch rack on here Outback. At first I thought she really was blocked in. On further inspection she just...couldn't...fucking...drive. A friendly local tried to back her up. Not only did she refuse to go any closer than 6' to the truck behind her, she didn't understand the concept of a 3 point (or more turn) despiste friendly guy giving her the "and now you turn the wheel to the right and pull forward" directions. When I left the whole gas station was pointing and laughing at her. She had quit half way through the maneuver, put her hazards on and was on the phone.

We had a hitch rack growing up. Those things annihilate skis. And its funny you say that, the hitch rack on my wife's RAV4 drags fkn everywhere.

Which Rav4? Some are higher than others. We are putting a hitch on my wife's new Rav4 just for the bike carrier. Her's is a TRD Off Road so has a little more clearance. The hybrids and other models are lower.

Yeah, it is pretty funny but she loves it. It's actually pretty capable in semi off road conditions. Fun little car. She liked the color and TRD rims.
