The Yakima Outdoorsman 300 truck rack (8001136) is a rugged, no-drilling, multi-use truckbed rack system for a compact-size pickup truck bed (CLICK HERE for Yakima 8001137 Outdoorsman full-size version). We recommend using our Yakima Racks fit guide tool below to determine which Outdoorsman 300 size is correct for your specific pickup truck. It conveniently puts the cargo load up top so you can free up the pickup truck bed for other uses.
NOTE: Sold as a 1/2 set of Towers (this gives you the option to combine the 1/2 set with the Yakima Q Tower Half Pack base rack system on your cab roof). To make a complete set of 4 Outdoorsman Towers for the front and rear of your truck bed, you'll need to order two 1/2 sets of Towers to make a complete set of 4 Towers. Each 1/2 set of Towers also requires 1 Yakima cross bar (sold separately) to allow you to select the perfect bar length for your pick-up truck and gear transport needs. You will need to purchase 2 crossbars when ordering the full set of 4 Yakima Outdoorsman 300 Towers.
- Truck rack towers quickly clamp onto pick-up truck bed rails, no drilling at all!
- Heavy duty construction handles loads up to 300 lbs.
- Fits a wide range of truck beds and is available in a compact-size and full-size configuration (see our Yakima fit / order guide below to determine correct version and compatibility).
- The Yakima Outdoorsman 300 instantly creates a multi-purpose base rack system that allows all Yakima gear carrier attachments (including canoe, kayak, surfboard, bike, ski, snowboard, gear basket or cargo box) to connect to the Yakima cross bars.
- Yakima Load Stops (not included; see accessory add-ons below) are an excellent attachment for transporting lumber, ladders, piping, construction materials, canoe and more!
- Towers easily adjust forward and backward on truck bed rails to ensure a perfect fit to all Yakima gear carriers.
- Easy-to-follow Yakima 1136 Outdoorsman 300 instructions included.
- Yakima Racks Lifetime Warranty!

Great Truck Rack
this Yakima Outdoorsman 300 review by G. Baddock
vehicle year/make/model: 2003 GM Sierra pickup truck
item(s) transported: Kayaks and other long things
This thing was simple to setup, only took about an hour. It attaches to your bed rails without scratching or denting. I did have to cut my bed liner though, so make sure you know where you want them to end up. Don’t want to cut more than necessary into the liner. It fit perfectly on my GM truck without drilling and is amazingly solid. I wanted it primarily for carrying kayaks, so I also purchased two sets of Mako Saddles that attach directly to the crossbars. These are reasonably priced racks that can also be used to carry ladders, lumber, or anything else that you might not want in your truck bed, as long as the load doesn’t exceed the maximum limit of 300 lbs.
Great rack system for your truck
this Yakima Outdoorsman 300 review by Jeremy
vehicle year/make/model: 2002 Dodge Ram pickup truck
item(s) transported: Kayaks
I wanted to carry kayaks on my truck, but because the roof of my cab isn’t long enough, the bars can’t be spread apart far enough to safely carry them. So I ended up putting one crossbar with a pair of Q-towers on the roof and used one Outdoorsman 300 (this is the reason why they are sold in half packs) on the truck bed, and it works great. The Outdoorsman uprights are extremely durable and affordable as well. You might want to get a pair for that complete ladder rack look, or you can do what I did and pair up a half pack of Outdoorsman uprights with a half pack of Q-towers. Either way, you’ll have a great rack system for your truck.
