Yakima = way overpriced ($1,719.20) but I LOVE the concept. Super skinny tires for LRR and aero, extremely lightweight (150lbs for the trailer) and carries a 250lb box with standard roof rack mounts, but nice and low for easy access... and tucked nicely into your slipstream. On fairly flat land, there'd probably be almost no hit at all to MPG (obviously more on hilly terrain). Just posting the fact that they exist for more people to know something so awesome exists  .
It's my fantasy road trip rig for sure. |
Thanks for sharing.
You know, if one was mechanically inclined, they could build themselves a trailer for a lot less. That thing is nice, but a DIY trailer would save a lot and you could probably get most of the parts from Walmart.
