HD Crossbar Tower System

The Yakima TimberLine Towers (4-Pack) are engineered to expand your vehicle's carrying capacity and deliver maximum rooftop versatility for hauling gear. Designed specifically for vehicles with factory-installed raised side rails, these towers offer a sleek, strong, and quiet solution. The advanced tower architecture is complemented by a matte black finish that matches modern vehicle styling. Constructed with a durable stainless steel strap, the TimberLine Towers securely accommodate a wide range of rail sizes. They are compatible with Yakima's JetStream, CoreBar, and RoundBar crossbars, offering flexibility for your specific needs. The maximum load rating for this system is 220 lbs (100kg), though this can vary depending on the specific vehicle and the rating of the crossbars used. However, to ensure full functionality and compatibility with certain Yakima crossbars, additional adapters may be required. The RoundBar SL Adapter is necessary if you plan to use Yakima's classic RoundBar, and the HD Bar SL Adapter is needed for Yakima's HD Bar. For enhanced security, the SKS (Same Key System) locks are sold separately but are recommended for securing the towers to your vehicle. While generally designed for ease of use, one customer noted difficulty with the locking tongue fitting under the rear sections of the raised side rails on a 2026 Ford Explorer, requiring crimping. Another user mentioned that while the towers attach bars sturdily, they can require significant adjustment when putting on or taking off, involving numerous turns of an Allen wrench.
