Times have changed (thankfully), the new Yakima skybox pro 18 is a big ski box, no question there - but it is easier to secure to your vehicle, more aerodynamic and a whole tonne quieter while you are driving. I am ethically against huge gas guzzling SUV's (it's the tree hugger in me) so the Yakima skybox pro 18 is a welcome addition to our small RAV4 as it provides a lot of storage space all year round when needed and when not needed it's super simple to remove the skybox in a matter of minutes.įirst generation ski boxes were small, noisy, unsecured, hard to mount on your roof racks and virtual car sails. On those family road trips you can store all your camping and climbing gear up top in the Yakima skybox pro 18 and leave your vehicle relatively uncluttered.

One downside to rooftop cargo carriers is the effect they will have on your vehicle’s fuel economy. Roof-top baskets and platforms are the utility players, offering a blank space to stow your stuff-just make sure to secure your items with plenty of tie-downs. They also come in different shapes and sizes to fit various vehicles and haul all types of cargo, including skis. In addition to protecting your items from the elements and road grime, hard rooftop cargo carriers keep valuables out of sight and often come with locking mechanisms for extra security. Hard-side cargo carriers will keep your gear clean and dry and away from prying eyes roof baskets and platform racks offer a versatile alternative but leave your items open to the elements. Roof-top carriers generally fall into one of two categories, either hard-side roof boxes or roof baskets and platform racks.
