Last reviewed: April 2026
At a glance
Why this product
The EXO GearWarrior is an open-top hitch basket for Yakima's EXO system — 20 lbs in steel with 250 lb capacity. The open design means you can load coolers, bins, and oversized gear without size restrictions. The downside? Requires the EXO SwingBase or TopShelf, open top means no weather protection, and steel will corrode without maintenance.
