Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 57" Long x 42" Wide - 165 lbs
I purchased the Rhino Rack Vortex SX crossbar systems for my 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trail Hawk with factory raised rails and panoramic roof. The crossbar systems are well away from the panoramic sunroof and poise no issues or touching with the sunroof opening or closing. When the sunroof opens, it drops down and slides back, again never touching any part of the Vortex SX rails or feet. Then I added Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket/XTray Large measuring 57" Long x 42" Wide. Both were easy to install, very stylish, and practical. I did a lot research for cross rails and cargo basket and I am very pleased with Rhino Rack Vortex SX crossbar and the Rhino-Rack Roof Cargo Basket from eTrailer.com
Was difficult to put together. The poles didn't line up to put the front and rear halves of the basket together. I had to use ratchet straps to pull everything together. Also, there were large sections where the paint was scratched off. Looks good and built well other than the assembly and paint issues

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs
I just receivef the rooftop carrier. Installation was very easy and it looks great and seems very sturdy. I think it will work well for carrying extra cargo.
Good roof rack and does the job, however it rusts in areas rather quick. I received the item with what appeared to be only a few minor scuffs or scratches as new, but within a few weeks/months, those minor scratches became major rust spots.

Been very pleased,item is well built and easy to assemble. I would not hesitate to buy this item again if I needed one

20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
This was an all around outstanding experience. I had a general idea of what I wanted to purchase and found etrailer on line. They had a great selection of the cargo carrier that I was looking for so I was able to get exactly what I was hoping to find. Other things to like about etrailer: Lightning fast delivery to MA No brainer simple assembly directions Great follow up and customer service. I know where I will be going for further trailer needs. Thank you
This shelf is terrific; the best solution. FAR FAR better than one of those cases you buy for your roof, less drag, no noise and lots of space. Plus, lots of room for the hatch of my Jeep Cherokee to open un-obstructed.

24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
We just installed our carrier. We love that this is going to free up a lot of space for our vacation traveling. Very heavy duty and bigger than i was thinking it would be.The pin that holds the carrier in the hitch was not included. It would have been an added bonus if it was.
Easy to assemble, nice and solid cargo tray! Bought it with the hitch bracket. Note: no hitch pin included.

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 64-1/2" Long x 39" Wide x 7-1/4" Tall - 150 lbs
Great time on delivery. Would recommend company to friends.
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…

Yakima MegaWarrior Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 52" Long x 48" Wide
The MegaWarrior is a great Roof Rack. The only thing I didn’t like was the fit to the roof rails. My rails that I purchased from you are shaped like aircraft wings and the basket clamps seem to be designed for round rails. However I was able to complete the attachment and the rack remained secure for a 2,000 mile trip.
Took a few months to get because covid-19 slowed production but worth the wait. It's awsome

Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte Black
This was purchased off of the etrailer.com website as a "damaged" item at a significantly reduced price. The description on the website described the damage very well and the cargo box has no functional issues of any kind. Also, the cargo box arrived much earlier than I anticipated. Furthermore, when I noticed that the box arrived with the load securing straps missing I emailed etrailer customer support and they had Thule send me two new ones right away. Couldn't be more pleased with etrailer and this cargo box. It fits my 2014 Honda CRV with factory crossbars with just a little bit of rear hatch interference (restricts opening by maybe an inch or two, but can still fully use the rear hatch). Can't speak to durability quite yet as I've only used the cargo box a few times to transport skis and snowboard and plan to use it year-round for road trips. A really great, simple cargo box!

SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 cu ft - Black
Our SportRack cargo box has worked as hoped / advertised since we bought it over a year ago. What initially attracted me to this particular product was the size and design - it holds A LOT, and the way it opens from the back has helped protect our stuff from getting wet and damaged.
The sportrack vista xl is great! This was our first attempt at a roof mounted cargo box and it has preformed exceprionally well! I purchased this as a gift for my wife, to go on her Subaru Crosstrek. We live in western NC, and have used this to go to the outer banks of NC, eastern Tennessee, and even to bring home supplies from Sam's Club! It's super easy and quick to install, even for one person, and we've been fortunate enough to not have a single leak yet; even though we've been through heavy downpours! And there's plenty of room! If you're in the market for a rooftop cargo box this is the way to go.

GearSpace 34 Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitch - Slide Out - 34 cu ft - 300 lbs - Dark Gray
We looked all over for a hardshell storage pod, one that would fit 300 pounds of embroidery hardware. This one from Gearspace fit the bill. Super easy checkout with etrailer.com, and they were the only ones to offer free shipping, and since this is a larger, heavier item, that means LTL Freight. Not [online vendor] and not the Mfg. The GearSpace 34 arrived earlier than promised, and it was an easy unload if you have room for a sixty foot tractor trailer. 190 lbs on a pallet, but it will load right into the back of a pickup real easy. Took about 30 minutes to install, and it went like a breeze. Light test, check... signals, check. Ready to roll on our next RV trip, with lots more room for goodies along the way. This item gets an A+, it works as advertised, and etrailer.com was GREAT. They communicate often and update on order status. even sent out an email to get customer feedback and review, along with some pictures. I'm sure after this stellar review they will send me a nice etrailer hat & Koozie Pictures show the Gearspace 34 loaded with about 200 lbs right now. It never moved an inch and is solid on the mounting hitch hardware. You will not be disappointed with this product, it's top of the line for RV rear storage.
We use it all the time on our Coachmen Beyond (transit camper van). We fit our folding bikes and all our camping and boating gear that we don't want to put in the van such as a small grill, chairs, steam vac, dirty laundry, firewood, tents, cords, pressure washer to name a few. Love that it pulls out so we can fully open the back doors. It does get some water in it when it rains at times. Seems pretty solid and secure when we lock it. I do worry that the rubber closures will dry rot at some point and last I knew you can't get replacements. That would be one thing I wish you would add to the parts list if you haven't already. Overall very nice box.

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. ;-)

Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs
We were very happy with our Thule roof rack. The low profile design works well and does not have too much wind noise compared to others I’ve had. It’s held up very well also through the seasons.
The Canyon XT installed with ease & also provides multiple mounting brackets for attaching to crossbars. It will definitely give us more interior room or additional cargo capacity! I highly suggest reading the directions a few times before you start & during assembly. Some parts are in the same bag for a step while other steps need parts from different bags. Depending on your vehicle, all parts may not be used. So make sure the parts you have left over are the right ones!

Strong but so lite. I use to have the same size but in steel and it was so heavy. A real pain to attach (especially to my back). Now it's so easy to attach and I can hold it with one hand. Would recommend to everyone.

Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket for Factory Rails - 50" Long x 45" Wide
Excellent choice, super dynamic for its size. Owned it for a year now. I’ve put it on two cars, and I’ve used it several times. It’s gotten our family to and from the campsite and moving a few times. If wanted during the seasons, you can easily take it off by using the available key.
Awesome product. Assembly was straightforward but did take a bit of time. Installation and removal of the rack are a breeze. Very happy with the service from etrailer.com. Incredible amount of product information on the site that allowed me to make an informed decision, and shipping was fast and free.

Thule Pulse Medium Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Matte Black
Overall, we are pleased with this carrier. My husband and son installed it easily on my 2017 Honda Pilot, and I could still use my sunroof. The only noise was when it was empty and we hit one big bump. 99.9% of the time, it was not possible to detect the carrier was there. It did not seem to effect gas mileage either. It did not get 5 stars for the combination of price and quality. For the cost, I might have expected it to be a little less flimsy feeling, and a little more precisely constructed. However, once in use, these minor issues disappeared. We use it for luggage holding clothing, and it held 2 large pieces with room to spare. Overall, we are satisfied. However, do not forget you need space to store it when not in use !

Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches - With Ramp - 77" Long - 500 lbs
I can't say I'm entirely happy with my purchase. The instructions were more confusing than helpful. Note in "instruction.jpg" photo of STEP 1 that the text says to put the 8 small bolts in from the inside first, but the drawing clearly shows them as going in from the outside. The last step says to place the ramp onto the receiver as shown.... glad I didn't throw away the box because there is no drawing that shows ramp installation. Actually, the photo on the box was more helpful than any of the instructions. Also, I need to make a trip to the hardware store to buy longer medium bolts because the ones that came with the carrier were not long enough to fully engage the self locking feature of the nylon lock nuts. At a minimum a couple of threads should protrude beyond the nylon. See photo "nut.jpg". The bolt threads don't reach the end of the nylon, so the self locking feature is not fully engaged. I did tighten the nut, but that was as far as it would go. I think once I get back from the hardware store with the new medium bolts and after I reverse the 8 small bolts (I followed the drawing and not the text of the instructions), I'll be OK with the carrier.
"Instantly Get Rid of Wobble and Upgrade With Lights" This is not a 5 because ramp should be longer & there should be some type stabilizer to temporary hold bike while strapping down, I'd pay more for those upgrades. The wobble can instantly be solved by hooking Tie-Straps closest to vehicle directly to the receiver where you hook your chains, rather than hooking them to the provided holes on carrier itself. You of course use the provided strap holes ones on the opposite side. When strapped down as stated, the carrier now becomes one with the vehicle & @ 80mph there is no wobble. (*TIP: Put ramp back in its place before strapping down or else it won't fit with the strap hooks in the way.) I upgraded mine with lights for both safety reasons & not needing the Police any reason to pull me over. It was very simple and cost me nothing but time & maybe $50. I recommend this product whole heartedly.

Malone Cargo12 Rooftop Cargo Box - 12 cu ft - High Gloss Gray
I received the item in the description. Before I purchased the product I watched over and over the video on the site to see if the dimensions and looks of the product would fit my vehicle. After receiving it today I mounted it on my cross bars that I had and it fits like a glove. I noticed that the straps on the video are red and a bit larger but I received skinny black stripes not sure why the change. I like the color and it is spacious enough to accommodate what I will use it for. Good built and it sits well on the bars, it wasn't difficult to set it up, I like the way the brackets tighten up to the cross bars. My conclusion is: it is a well constructed cargo box and it is very big for the size to fit many vehicles. The price is also very competitive than many other brands. I was going to wait until after I could use it and then write a review, well I received an e-mail to help testify to it and for now this is what I have to write about it. I will further write more after a few months of use it will make more sense.
I purchased the Malone Cargo12 roof box for a 6 week trip to Arizona with our two dogs. I chose this carrier because it was large enough to hold all our clothes and items for our extended trip - and it would look nice on my white Forester. It was just what we needed and it worked out great! Looking forward to using it again.

24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Tilting - Folding - 500 lbs
it's suppose to be 2 inch threaded hitch pin with clip, but it was just a regular bolt with no hole for the clip. customer care was called since I bought the E98874 curt cargo carrier 3 weeks ago and was missing the threaded hitch pin. Its suppost to arrive this week but I haven't been able to use the cargo carrier for 3 weeks.

Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black AeroSkin
The box is great, kept everything dry. No noise or rattle. Dont skimp out on a good set of rack bars. Easy install. Made it 3000 miles up the AlCan highway.
We love our new Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Boxes and can’t wait for our next trip. Opens from both sides, well designed! Recommend you attach the straps before putting it on top of vehicle.
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!"
