Take a step up from the Blacktop to the SkyBox with this next evolution of Yakima® premium cargo boxes.

  • At 16 cu. ft., it still has plenty of space for your gear but the shorter length means your box won't overpower the look of your ride
  • New aerodynamic design reduces drag, resulting in less noise and more stability
  • Lid is now 50% stiffer than other Yakima® cargo boxes for reduced vibration; one-handed opening and closing is as easy as pie
  • Rapid-fire installation is quickest and easiest yet—all adjusting and tightening is done from inside the box
  • Dual side opening conveniently allows the box to be opened from either the right or left side
  • Smooth-action support lets the lid lift effortlessly; wide-mouth opening is easy to load and unload
  • New lid shape is easy to grab onto regardless of the size of your hands
  • Super Latch Security ensures that the lid is secured to the base
  • Matte anti-scratch finish gives a stealth look to your vehicle
  • SkyBox series has integrated track system for accessories so you can protect and organize all your gear
  • SKS lock cores included
  • Fits round, square or most factory-rack crossbars, (sold separately); fits crossbar spreads as short as 24 inches

Please note: Yakima car rack products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

    Comments about Yakima SkyBox 16 Roof Box:

    We bought this cargo box very recently and so far, so good. It's easy to open with one hand, the locking mechanism engages and disengages very easily. This particular size suits our needs, there are smaller and larger options. We haven't had it that long so I can't comment on it's long-term durability, but it is made of very solid materials.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Yakima SkyBox 16 Roof Box:

      Used this on a long trip from the midwest to the east coast. Easy to install, was solid as a rock - we never even noticed it was there. We didn't experience any drag the entire trip. Excellent product.

      I compared this to many brands before purchaing and it seemed much more stable and durable than the others.

      The only challenges are storing it and it is a bit heavier than other models. I still managed to put it on and take it off by myself.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
