Pros
- Swings out of the way with the box loaded, so the hatch or tailgate opens fully
- The base takes other EXO bike, basket and ski mounts later
- Lockable box and a hitch lock included
Cons
- About 96 lb all in, with a 68.5 lb base that is hard to install alone
- Box carries only 100 lb and 10 cu ft, less than rivals at this price
- Two year warranty on the box; Yakima says the base is not for off road or RV use
