Yakima HD Bar – The Ultimate Heavy-Duty Crossbar for Serious Hauling
Engineered for Extreme Loads and Rugged Utility
The Yakima HD Bar is the strongest crossbar in the Yakima lineup, specifically designed for those who demand more from their roof rack system. Whether you are outfitting a full-sized truck for an overlanding expedition or securing heavy-duty gear like the Old Town Sportsman for a fishing trip, the HD Bar provides the structural integrity required for high-stress environments. These bars are built from heavy-duty aluminum with an internal architecture engineered to support substantial weight without bowing or flexing.
What sets the HD Bar apart is its integrated tie-down points at the end caps and a versatile T-slot channel. This design allows you to mount a wide variety of accessories—from recovery boards and high-lift jacks to specialized Suspenz kayak mounts—with ease. It is the perfect blend of a rugged workhorse and a smart, modular platform for any adventure.
Versatile Mounting and Overlanding Readiness
Yakima has designed the HD Bar to be fully compatible with their StreamLine Tower series, as well as the OverHaul HD and OutPost HD truck bed systems. This makes it an ideal choice for truck owners who need to create a multi-level storage system.
Integrated Tie-Downs: The end caps feature built-in attachment points that make it simple to secure your load with straps or bungees, providing extra security during long drives.
T-Slot Compatibility: The top T-slot allows for the seamless attachment of Yakima’s heavy-duty accessories, ensuring a clean and secure fit every time.
Superior Durability: The black powder-coat finish isn’t just for aesthetics; it provides a high level of corrosion resistance, which is vital if you’re frequently near salt water or in harsh winter climates.
FULL SPECIFICATIONS & Item Details
The HD Bar is sold as a pair and is available in multiple lengths to suit a wide range of vehicle widths and storage requirements.
*Note: Always check your vehicle’s specific roof load limit and the capacity of the towers used.
Built for Your Next Expedition
If you’re planning a trip to Asheville on December 5th, the HD Bar is the perfect companion for hauling heavy coolers, camping gear, or local market finds. Its rigid design means you won’t have to worry about the bars humming or vibrating under load, even when navigating the winding mountain roads.
The rubber fill strip in the T-slot helps reduce wind noise and protects the channel from debris. When you’re ready to mount an accessory, simply trim the strip or push it down to slide your hardware into place. This attention to detail ensures that the HD Bar remains functional and quiet, whether it’s fully loaded or empty.
