Yakima 8007180 Review
Yakima 8007180 Review by N. Stahl (Greenbrier, AR USA)
I bought a new 2009 GMC Acadia and found that I didn't have enough suitcase space for 6 vacationers. We were able to put 2 medium suitcases and one small suitcase in this luggage carrier along with our beachtowels. The box fits well and the 16S Yakimaa Skybox Pro doesn't interfer with the antenna. Just keep in mind that Yakima recommends that you sit this on the GMC cross rails that have to be purchased from the dealer. These rails are recommended for 200 lbs and the box weighs about 47 lbs. We heard no wind noise and were very pleased with the ride.
Yakima 8007180 Review by Daniel Kenneth McBride "DMcB" (MI)
Works great on my Tahoe. Glad I did not get the 18 it would have been to big....It is awkward to store on the wall hanger I purchased from Yakima, but other than that it was a good purchase.
Yakima 8007180 Review by D. Menes
I was looking for a cargo box that would fit the new style Subaru Outback (2010 and up) without interfering with the rear hatch, which apparently is a problem with the new integrated roof racks on the Outback. I found the Skybox 16s was one of the few boxes that would fit without hitting anything.
The box arrived about 3 weeks after placing the order with free shipping. I put the box on the car in about 15 minutes without reading the instructions, adjusted it once to straighten it out and it has been great ever since. The only tricky part was getting the key removed from the inside the box when I was unpacking it, but that was me not thinking it through. The shape and titanium color looks great on the white Subaru too, I'm glad I didn't get the cheaper unpainted version.
I've lost about 1.5 miles per gallon, which is a little better than what I expected. There is a tiny whoosh at speed, but the wind noise on the highway is actually much less than I had anticipated, and truthfully I don't hear it unless I slide the sunroof interior visor open. I haven't experienced any drama with crosswinds yet. The aerodynamics seem to be quite well sorted out.
The mechanisms in the box are ingenious with the duel side openings, all the hardware works great, and appears to be sturdy. The tie downs and spider web bungee all work well, the thin neoprene pad it comes with may have to be glued down or something, as it seems to roam a little. I've had many Thule products in the past and always found them a little less ergonomic than the Yakima stuff, and this box reinforces that opinion.
Check your skis first, if you have cross country or old school long non-parabolic downhill skis you will have a problem. My 18x-something cm length skis are a tight fit, I have to wedge them a little sideways. I guess that's the penalty for fitting the Subie. The box is quite tall, so I can get quite a bit of cargo in there too.
Very satisfied with the cargo box and would highly recommend it.
