  • Good but heavy
I really like the Yakima EXO system. It allows me to mix and match to fit what excursion I'm going out for. It's awesome. It all hinges (pun intended?) on the SwingBase. This is robust, to say the least. It is quite heavy. I do wonder if that is necessary because it seems like it adds a lot of torque to the hitch when it is swung out. It does recommend using an included jack to help stabilize it for extended swing out use. Overall, I like this. There are a few things I noticed about it worth mentioning. It is heavy and difficult to set up alone. It's probably best as a two person job. It is not a simple pin and cotter pin attachment to the tow hitch like with other hitches. You have to screw in a large bolt, then use a cotter pin to secure it (you can also lock it). It comes with a crescent wrench to screw in this bolt. I busted my knuckles on my driveway a couple of times because the wrench slipped off of the bolt head. After that, I got a socket wrench in order to save my knuckles. This is designed to go on your car and stay there. I want to remove it and be able to tow a boat. So it makes it a little bit of a pain to remove. Not sure if there is a better option because it does need a solid connection to the tow receiver. The jack is a bit of a joke, though. It's basically a foot, a screw, and a rectangular tube you put a metal rod through and screw up or down. It's a bit difficult to get started, and while it does ultimately get the job done, I have little confidence in it. I'll probably get a small hydraulic jack to use instead. I like that this can be tucked away when not in use. And like I said, the versatility is very good. It's nice that it can swing out so I can access the trunk of my car. Overall, I like this. I'd recommend it. There are a few things that I'd like to see change, but it's a solid system. ... show more

  • Super solid and easy to use
This SwingBase is super solid and easy to install or switch whatever accessory you want. Which is good, considering the price tag. I was very hesitant to spend this much, when basic racks could be purchased for much less. However, I wanted the flexibility to use this with a open rack (GearWarrior) or box (GearLocker) when camping, and a bike rack when biking. I have only used it with the GearWarrior so far but I love it. It doesn't make any noise and I hardly realize it's even there, except when backing up. The only negative is it's heavy, so depending on how much you can lift, you may need assistance when installing. However the heavy weight is what allows you to load up to 250 lbs on it with the GearWarrior (when it's the only thing attached). I'm excited to purchase the bike rack and try that out next! ... show more

  • Very well built.
The time came with no damage and is very well built. However, the box wasn’t even taped up on delivery. Kind oaf surprised everything was there.

  • Heavy unit
The unit is heavy Took two delivery guys Hard for one person to handle and mount on hitch Doable but risky to your own body and body of vehicle Best with two persons

  • Very sturdy. More convenient then roof rack systems.
While I’m glad I bought this and happy it worked as intended, there are a couple complaints regarding the design. Since it’s so heavy and the weight is all on the right side, it sags down to the right side very noticeably. Using the included jack when swinging it out is a must. When you do install an exo locker it’s very tilted to the right. If they had made it more symmetrical and evenly weight distributed it will probably address this issue. Otherwise, it is a sturdy setup that allows me to store a lot of items on my camping trips. Or even at tailgate parties. ... show more

  • Excellent option for those with a hitch
The base plus a Exo Gear locker, top shelf, and another GearLocker and you've got a lot of cargo space added. Swing-away gate allows your hatch to still open (mine will open just fine when only using the base and one GearLocker as well).

  • Better options for price.
So if you get this plus the necessary attachments you are paying about as much as you would for a new trailer, which IMO makes this thing useless. Spend your money better and just look around for a new/used trailer.

  • This is perfect!!
Living van life, it can be tough to find room for everything. Being able to keep my kitchen outside males it easier. This is the base for that.
