Yakima LockNLoad Overland Platform Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2024
- Designed to carry all of your Overland essentials, the LockNLoad Platform from Yakima is a versatile cargo platform with a variety of attachment options. This is what I'm using on my trusty Toyota Tundra for both Overland travel as well as hauling my sea kayaks.

Man you have the sickest garage, awesome video!
Thanks!
I found this video helpful, thank you for putting it together.
Glad it was helpful!
Just found your channel this evening . . . Great content!!
Welcome aboard!
Good review! I also have a 2011 Tundra double-cab. Was wondering why did you not mount the platform directly to the tower to give it a lower profile? were you concerned about the weight of the platform and needed the crossbars for more stability?
I was talking to our local sales rep and he advised me i could mount the platform directly onto the skyline towers if the towers were mounted on a track system as suppose to the tower door-clip style. If I was to put a roof-top tent on the platform maybe then i should use crossbars due to added weight? Would love to hear your input. thanks for providing this awesome review.
I was sent the Baseline Towers by Yakima and those can't mount directly to the platform. I don't have a channel system so I was stuck with this set-up using the crossbars. I can't comment on the weight limits of the Skyline Towers and your roof top tent. But I'll bet Yakima can answer those questions.
New sub here. Just found your channel. Great content brother. Question, what bed rack are you using? I see your able to use your bed cover with the bed rack. If I missed it in your video I apologize. I didn’t see a review in your video library. Thanks again
There is an option for tonneau brackets with this bed rack:

Just came across this video, which was super helpful. Curious about something: does the fairing/wind shield under the LockNLoad help with the wind noise?
It reduces the whistling noise you get from the crossbars alone.
Question, I already have an existing timberline/jetcore bar setup on my suburban with a Skybox cargo carrier. I am trying to add more surface area to strap additional gear on for camping and I am curious if the skybox would clamp to the lock n load bars? Or is it use one or the other not both at the same time?
That's a great question. But one you'd be better off asking Yakima directly. I don't want to speculate or mislead you.
Great video... How is the wind noise? Any whistling or weird noises from the rack when traveling hwy speeds?
There is always some wind noise when attaching something to the roof of a vehicle. However, Yakima did a good job mitigating the whistling noises.
Are you still enjoying the locknload setup. I have a similar kbvoodoo rear rack and debating going with the locknload or going with a rhino rack which would require drilling into the roof. Any cons you could see with this setup over something "permanently" mounted on the truck?
I would avoid drilling through the roof at all cost. Owning an FJ as well, I see a lot of owners on the forums with pictures of wet, stained headliners from leaks created by the roof rack system.
How high is it off your roof? Or another way, how much vertical height does it add? Thanks for the review.....
5-6"
nice Scroll on the wall
Thanks brother
Man from where did you get those fender flares. Awesome truck.

Do you happen to know if the platform will work with round bars?
It will attach to either aero bars or round bars
Would you trust the weight of a rooftop tent on that platform? I guess without seeing the mourning hardware in person is hard to tell if is rigid enough.
Its designed for the weight of a rooftop tent.
I have a Yakima Skybox 16. Will it fit on top of this rack?
You'd have to check the yakima website for compatibility. I don't own a skybox so I can't confirm either way.
How's the wind noise from the platform?
Acceptable. It's there but the fairing eliminates any annoying whistle. Also depends on what cargo you place on the rack.
The day you forget you have a jerry can mounted on your roof rack as you enter your garage 🤭
Tell me about it!
RLTW!
All the way
