Description
What is the Yakima EXO Swingbase?
The Yakima EXO SwingBase is the key component to the Yakima EXO Hitch Mounting System . This EXO System is a multi-part, modular hitch storage system designed to take advantage of your hitch while saving roof, bed and interior space. To learn more about the Yakima EXO Hitch System and it's components, start by watching the short video below.
The Yakima EXO SwingBase is where the EXO System starts. Attached to your trailer hitch, the SwingBase does exactly what you’d expect - it swings out, allowing full access to the inside of your vehicle or bed of your truck via the rear hatch or tailgate.
Moreover, the EXO SwingBase locks in place using easy-to-pull pins. When in the open position, lock the SwingBase into place while you access gear in your truck bed or rear hatch of your vehicle. It is fully functional when locked in the "open" or "closed" position.
While closed, lock the pins in place to secure the SwingBase for travel.
The EXO SwingBase specs are: Weight: 68.5 lbs. Dimensions: L 34 in x W 49 in x H 9.5 in
What are the various components to the Yakima EXO System?
As mentioned above, the Yakima EXO System is modular - in that it is composed of interchangeable components with different functions, all built on the Yakima SwingBase.
EXO GearLocker:The Yakima EXO GearLocker combines the functionality of Yakima’s roof-top cargo box with a hitch-mounted system for easy, quick access. Weight: 27.8 lbs. Dimensions: L 60 in x W 23 in x H 16 in.
EXO GearWarrior:The Yakima EXO GearWarrior is an adaptation of the Yakima SkinnyWarrior, only designed to mount on the EXO system. This basket can hold up to 250lbs of gear when mounted on the SwingBase without the EXO TopShelf, or up to 110lbs of gear when mounted with the EXO TopShelf. Weight: 22 lbs. Dimensions: L 60 in x W 23 in x H 6.5 in
EXO DoubleUp:The Yakima EXO DoubleUp is a 2 bike rack that can be mounted on the SwingBase or TopShelf. The DoubleUp features all the benefits of Yakima’s bike racks, including the SKS (Single Key System), zip straps and more. Weight: 37.2 lbs. Dimensions: L 26.6 in x W 72 in x H 7 in
EXO BackDeck:The Yakima EXO BackDeck gives you a stable, flat working surface for making lunch, repairing a flat bicycle tire or untangling that ball of twine. Weight: 10.8 lbs. Dimensions: L 17 in x W 50 in x H 0.75 in
The Yakima EXO System's advantages over other products start with the fact that the basket, cargo box and bike rack attachment are all designed based on Yakima's rooftop products. This means they're sturdy and proven. In addition, the Yakima EXO locks in place for full use in multiple positions - allowing you to access the rear of your vehicle AND retain full use of the EXO system. Moreover, Yakima has included creative attachments including a flat working space and camp kitchen.
Who isn't this product for?
If you don’t have a hitch, obviously the Yakima EXO System won’t work for you. (So… get one already!) Also, as mentioned if your hitch receiver is a 1.25” - the EXO won’t work on your vehicle.
