24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Easy to install took about 10-15 minutes and was able to hook up to Highlander with ease. Solid product!!!!! Enough clearance for brake lights and enough separation from vehicle!! Definitely recommend silent hitch pin.
This cargo carrier is awesome! No problems whatsoever and we LOAD it up for camping!.

17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Received the cargo rack exactly on the day promised. Followed the instructions and had the rack put together and installed on my Dodge Journey hitch in less than an hour. While an adjustable wrench could be used (per instructions), a ratchet set makes the job very easy (there are a lot of nuts and bolts to install and tighten). A very nice touch was the manufacturer screwed all of the bolts, washers and nuts together in sets which made it very easy to check for missing parts and to complete the installation quickly. Impressed with the quality of the rack, the ease of putting it on and taking it off of the hitch, and the ability to tighten it down on the hitch nice and snug. One concern I have for my particular setup is the twin exhausts on the Dodge Journey blow straight into the back side of the rack with about 10 inches of clearance. Planning on attaching metal flashing across the back of the rack to deflect the exhaust when carrying suitcases or other items where heat might be a concern. I am very happy with the purchase and feel that this rack is a great value based on the purchase price.
Quality Product, Easy to setup, Installs quickly. Used on a 2016 Dodge Journey. Decent amount of room between the Rack and Bumper. Rear Lift Gate was able to be opened when Rack held a Tote and Cooler.

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs
I am very pleased with the quality for the price.Just the right size for my 2017 Chevy Trax.the "U" bolts that are used to clamp the basket to the roof cross bars were a bit long so I cut them shorter & installed rubber caps on top of each stud. This keeps the studs from damaging items in the bssket.See pictures.
Works great, but takes some slight modification if you don’t want the bolts to poke through anything you have stored up there. Could be less of a problem depending on the cross bars you use, but I bought Curt’s cross bars and the bolts stick up pretty far.

20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
We have made great use of the rear end carrier we purchased from your company. It served us well on our 13,000 plus cross-country journey to the eastern provinces of Canada and back through a variety of weather conditions without a problem. The weather proof cargo bag purchased with the carrier also proved itself more than up to the tasks required of it. We did experience some scraping of the bottom of the carrier on some uneven roads and steep parklot entrances. You may want to look into altering the design slightly by raising the platform a few inches thus alleviating the problem.
Great product. Very happy with purchase. Easy to follow instructions. Would do Bussiness again.

24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
This is a super well made carrier. Took less than 15 minutes to assemble and fit into the receiver on our Ford Explorer. Couldn't be any better than this!
Great product. Super easy assembly with an extra set of hands but could have managed by myself I’m sure. Will use it to haul deer!

Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 57" Long x 42" Wide - 165 lbs
Love it! It's big enough to fit a bike carrier and a cargo bag on top of my MINI. Easy to assemble and install, solid construction. Great value for your money. If I have a gripe it's that the wind fairing on the front is VERY thin/fragile. I caught it with my bike tire when loading one day and the corner snapped right off like nothing. It's only about $XXX for the replacement.
This rack is sturdy and it was easy to install by myself. I like the mounting hardware and everything is snug. Finish is powder-coat and seems very durable.

Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 47" Long x 35" Wide - 165 lbs
Great fit if your looking for something smaller than standard roof baskets. I wanted clearance for my moonroof (2011 Forester) so I installed it set towards the back 2/3 of the roof. The screws for the brackets are a bit janky a type of allen key with a center nipple so they arent the easiest things ive ever dealt with. Outside of that very happy with it.
I called etrailer for help with a cargo basket for our Forester. Michael was very helpful with guidance to the correct product. We had no trouble putting the basket together and even less trouble mounting it to the car. We are very pleased and would not hesitate to recommend either Michael at etrailer or the Rhino-rack cargo basket we purchased.

Love this add on trailer... easy to install easy to use...durable...nice reflectors on back. This product has been great!

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 62-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs
I love the rack and the extended length is great on my Sequoia. I am disappointed with the finish on it as the connector plates are already showing signs of rust….. I like it enough that I’m going to repaint it with something more suited to our climate…
The tracking information w/updates is by far the most detailed I've ever seen! I highly recommend them & look forward to placing future orders A+ The roof rack is sturdy, well made & the install was quick & easy. The detailed videos provided are also A+

Thule Transporter Combi Hitch Mounted Enclosed Cargo Carrier - Tilting
Delivered in great condition. Assembly is not a problem. 13mm and 19 mm socket works much better than tools provided. Takes about 1 hour to assemble. Thanks Caroline for your follow up.
Really happy with it for our purposes. Works well on our 2014 Subaru outback. This is a great fit for us because it facilitates extra storage while still being able to use rooftop ski carrier or transport a canoe. The opposite would be true for folks wanting to use a bike hitch rack, But we don't tend to do as many gear heavy bike trips as we do other activities.

20x47 Reese Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs
First look - not yet loaded up. Ordered this because the less expensive Curt (C18110) was out of stock. It seems like a worthwhile upgrade anyway, with rounded corners and better tie-down options. Finish seems high quality. Significant play exists in the hitch receiver (Curt C11276 - gap visible in photo) to the point that I ordered a hitch immobilizer and don't plan to test the carrier with a full load until that's installed.
Would have been much if the cargo carrier was made in the USA; however it works great and fit great

Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 44" Long x 39" Wide
I have a Subaru Forester w/o factory racks. I am using a Yakima rack and towers that attach to the factory mounting holes on the roof, so it cannot be moved or adjusted. The LoadWarrior basket does not fit this particular width of the bars. It is at the only possible mounting position and with one clamp centered, the other clamp is not centered on the bar, making it impossible to secure the clamp (the basket to the rack). I have ordered the extension for the basket to hopefully provide more end to end adjustment so it can be secured to the rack.

Rola Swinging Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Trailer Hitch
sorry for taking so long to reply, but been busy. As you can see from the pictures attached the box is installed and works very good. I have a few comments on it and how it goes together. The main part went together very well and quite quickly, it does take two people for the most part, which is no big issue, my main concern is why the licence plate light is not supplied with the box, already installed, as this is necessary in most states/ provinces and therefore should already be part of the complete box assembly. The other concern is the quality of locks provided on the box and the rack. The ones provided are very inferior to those provided on the Thule box. To date I've not used the box on a trip, but feel it will work very well.
Love the swing-away feature but locks are low quality and under sized. Two were broken upon first delivery but Customer Service responded with delivery of new tray/bumper pack (cargo box) within 2 days. Yet to to road test but assembly was straight forward and completed in a couple hours. And I have a plan for locking improvements that will be easy to incorporate.

Yakima SkyBox 16 Roof Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black Carbonite
This box was perfect! Added an enormous amount of additional storage capacity for our Rav4. I was able to fit one large "checked-bag", a "carry-on", a pack-n-play, small storage bin, bungee cords + some kids toys all on the roof! Standard Toyota cross-bars. Installation was super simple; the box closes very securely and stays quite snug to the installed position. It was a bit unnerving at first carrying so much on the roof (i've seen the horror stories of boxes opening/flying off at 80MPH) but this box held up perfect! We averaged about 75-80MPH over 3000 miles of driving with maybe 100lbs of load in the box. Fuel economy dropped by a few mpg (36 -> 33) but overall this was a great purchase. etrailer was a fantastic retailer as well! Delivery estimates were right on schedule, and delivery was relatively straight-forward.
Just what the doctor ordered. The unit came by UPS freight and was delivered to the curb outside my house. My friend and I unboxed and installed the unit on the roof of my SUV in about 20 minutes. The unit is a bit flimsy, but once it is mounted, it is sturdy. Driving around town, the wind noise is minimal and there is very little drag. This unit will be used to carry the larger objects that won't fit into the rear of the SUV. Overall I am pleased with the build quality and the ease of installation.

Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte Black
The 16 cu ft cargo box fits perfectly on the 2018 Toyota Rav4. Literally takes about 5 minutes, 10min at the most, to set up on the rooftop, and was able to do it without the help of a second person. The box itself weighs very little.
The box is easy to open and close. You can fit a lot of luggage inside. The lock keeps my cargo secure. My belongings are kept completely dry from the rain. The box is not loud, even at highway speeds. Attaching the box to my cross rails is a cinch. It is aerodynamic so I’ve only lost about 1 mpg. The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because I wish the box was slightly deeper to allow for my hard travel case for golf clubs.

23x59 Stromberg Carlson Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
A good size and very strong. I like the fact that it has a grated bottom, as opposed to a few bars like many of its competitors. There are many holes and notches present for any customization desired. Also makes for a great chair to relax. I also ordered the anti-rattle pin so as to fasten this tightly to the hitch. IMO that should be included with any of these trailer-hitch-Mount accessories.
This is a nice, versatile carrier; however, we did take it to a welder to strengthen the expanded metal platform a bit based on how we thought we would be using it. We also added reflective tape, and added bicycle mounts for 2 bikes (Thule Low Rider Bike Mounts). We've used it to carry wood, camping equipment, and our foldable kayak + accessories cross-country, to take our bikes out for bike rides in areas away from the house. So, for the price, it's a decent carrier; with a few modifications, we are pretty happy with it overall.

Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 74" Long x 48" Wide
Roof rack arrived dented and scratched which complicated the installation because I had to hammer out dents to get the pipes to fit. Apart from that, the paint/coating scratches off fairly easily and the installation design is pretty awful. Instead of threading the pipe to accept screws they have this complicated plastic gasket mechanism which takes forever to align. I expected more from Yakima and for the price. Quick delivery from etrailer and good fit overall-- just need to wait and see about rust.
Initial quality was excellent and assembly a snap. Finding a roof basket that wouldn't look like a tiny hat on a Jeep Commander was difficult, but the MegaWarrior is perfect! Assembly and mounting took less than an hour and it looks great. Now it just needs to be outfitted with a set of off-road lights. ;-)

24x48-3/4 Carpod Walled, Folding Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches - w/ Lid, Bag, Rise Shank - 450 lbs
It is a great cargo carrier. After one use in which it rained, parts of it immediately got surface rust on exposed metal. Not terrible issues, but both a bit annoying. Also, the bag is not waterproof. I feel like with a properly waterproofed bag and a better finish, it would be perfect. But, still, it is a very nice cargo carrier and I highly recommend it. It is especially convenient how it (a) is elevated and (b) how it folds up easily.
Worked great on our family road trip! We were able to throw our sandy gear in it to keep the Bronco clean and prevented us from having to pile junk up in the backseat next to the kiddo. When it rained we used the bag, which kept everything dry. By locking the lid, we felt comfortable leaving the vehicle and our stuff unattended. It blocked our license plate, but was easy to mount the license plate to the pod so it was visible.

19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs
A must-have for anyone that owns a small car and likes to go on weekend camping trips! OR anything you can imagine (that doesn't exceed weight limits). It took around an hour to assemble.

Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 62" Long x 39" Wide
attached are a few pics I took of the Yakima load warrior I purchased over the summer. I was meant to send them months ago but life got in the way. Great product easy to install.
What our customers are saying:
"The trailer hitch mounted cargo carrier is an outstanding accessory. It allowed us to bring so much more on vacation. The side rails made securing things really easy and the auxiliary taillight kit plugged right into my plug. The service was so great that I just ordered a trailer hitch cover for the winter. Thanks!"
