Questions (1)
Is it worth the price over cheaper alternatives?
For vehicle-based and frequent campers who use a Yakima EXO system, the integration, quick tool-free setup and lighter aluminum kit justify the premium; if you don't need hitch integration or want maximum capacity for less, collapsible wagons like MacSports or Coleman offer better packability or raw capacity for lower cost.
