Seemingly a Yakima opportunity for Portland Metro Area resident...?

[Pnorth]

Hi everybody! New here! Waiting with excitement for confirmation today on a lot car, Billet Limited, from a dealer in Canada, as soon as they wake up over there It'll take app two months for it to get here, get through EU-homologization, etc.

However, checking around for tonneau covers , system for mountain bikes, etc., came across the new RetraxPRO XR with t-tracks built in and with a Yakima system on top. Next I went to Yakima to look at their stuff and there I got this message after punching in 2019 Ram:

No Fits Found
Unfortunately we do not currently have a roof rack system that fits your vehicle and roof type. However, other Yakima products are available that fit nearly any car universally without a roof rack system. Also, learn more about a custom install for your vehicle from our partners.

Since looking for products like this I would jump immediately at this opportunity, but I guess 15 1/2 hour by plane is a bit to far to qualify... ;-) So I thought I would share in case there was any Portland Metro Area owners here.

Hey @edrclark given this post I wish I was still in Portland right now (and that I actually had my truck lol)... who are our Oregonian owners here? I know I’ve seen a few...

 

[edrclark]

Actually don’t know of any

Hmmm... @fish mojo @HighDesertRam @brewmastr you guys close to Yakima HQ in PDX?

Was looking at the retraxone XR for this very same reason. Hoping they get a build for rambox soon. As for Yakima, why can't you fit one to your truck provided you have the Retrax XR now? The T Slot is universal no?

oh, I am sure you can use the regular crossbars for Thule, yakima, etc., but I just wanted to let you guys know that they're looking for someone local with a 2019 Ram to do some development, fitting or what not with and are willing to pay with free stuff. Since I am not in Portland I don't qualify.
