Our Review: Heavy-Duty Crossbars for Your GM SUV Journey

We recently tested these 330 LBS lockable crossbars designed for 2021-2025 GM SUVs, and we’re genuinely impressed with their performance. The robust construction immediately caught our attention, supporting the advertised 330-pound capacity without any signs of stress. Installation on our Yukon XL was straightforward, taking us about 25 minutes with no drilling required.

What we particularly appreciate is the anti-theft locking mechanism-a thoughtful feature that gave us peace of mind when leaving our kayaks mounted overnight. The crossbars maintained excellent stability even at highway speeds, with minimal wind noise compared to other systems we’ve tested.

The compatibility across the entire GM full-size SUV lineup (Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, and Escalade models) makes these an excellent investment if you own any vehicle in this family. For anyone looking to expand their cargo capabilities without sacrificing security, these crossbars definitely earn our recommendation.

We Test the ARKSEN Universal Roof Rack: 150lbs of Cargo Power

We recently got our hands on the ARKSEN 54 x 39 x 5 Inch Universal Roof Rack, and we’ve been putting it through its paces. This spacious cargo carrier impressed us with its robust 150-pound capacity, making it perfect for our weekend camping trips. The steel construction feels remarkably durable, giving us confidence even when fully loaded.

Installation was straightforward-we had it mounted on our SUV in under 30 minutes without any special tools. What we particularly appreciated was the extension feature, which allowed us to customize the storage space based on our needs.

During our road test, the rack held steady at highway speeds with minimal wind noise. The low-profile design (just 5 inches tall) didn’t significantly impact our fuel efficiency, which was a pleasant surprise. For anyone needing extra storage space for outdoor adventures, this ARKSEN roof rack delivers impressive performance for its price point.

We Test Honda CRV’s Toughest Roof Rack: 260lb Beast

We recently got our hands on the Autekcomma Heavy Duty Roof Rack Crossbars for the 2023-2025 Honda CRV, and we’ve been putting them through their paces. These full aluminum die-cast crossbars install directly onto factory flush rails and immediately impressed us with their matte black finish and sturdy construction.

In our testing, the anti-corrosion coating held up beautifully during several rainy days and a trip to the coast. What really stands out is the impressive 260lb weight capacity – we loaded up kayaks, camping gear, and a cargo box without any concerns about stability.

Installation took us about 30 minutes with basic tools, and we appreciated the secure fit with no whistling noise even at highway speeds. For CRV owners needing reliable cargo solutions, these crossbars offer excellent value compared to OEM alternatives while providing superior load capacity.
