Hard to say. Maybe "Style B" 60x54?

Based on the number of slats (6), I believe what is in the photo you included is Platform K, which is 55" x 49". Yakima's web site list shows several platforms, but the Bronco B&P tool offers only 2: small (6 slats) and large (7). Large may be Platform B (60" x 54"), but not sure.

Are these worth it versus half the price for a basket? I’m curious to what I would be missing out with going with a standard basket versus getting one of these platforms?

They are quite a bit different. The locknload is a whole system with tons of attachments and a lot of custom potential. The basket is a basket.

I’m only half joking. If you look at the Australian overland community where this rack originated there are a million little add-in’s and uses.

I think I read that the locknload has T-Slot integration, which is handy.

I like the low profile when not in use & yes it uses T-slot integration for a variety of tie down points or custom bracketry.

I guess is the concern that your stuff could shift around in the basket while driving versus the locknload which stays put? I understand it’s customizable and you can put all sorts of custom stuff on it, but I guess I’m just curious if people have used it and find it worth $500-$600 more (plus attachment accessories)

LocknLoad only really makes sense if you are already invested in Yakima stuff and swap between a few different types of rack attachments. So looking for bikes and kayaks in the summer and skis and skybox in the winter or something.

If you're just looking to put a basket on it or just looking to strap some things to a rack you are better served with another roof rack.

If those are MaxTrak boards on top; I believe they are 45” long — so maybe the “LockNload K platform (55 x 49) ? The ”B’ platform is (60 x 54).

I believe the Bronco trail rig has 55" x 49" platform. A guy near me is selling a 60" x 54" on Facebook marketplace. He actually is selling it at a fair price with a bunch of attachments.
