Most Popular CURT for 2005 Subaru Forester

It's strong, sturdy, and looks good. The bolts were a little long, and protruded into the cargo area of the basket, but that's to be expected because it has to be able to fit all different size crossbars. I just cut them shorter, but some people who don't have access to our experience with tools will have to deal with those bolts sticking up.

I haven't used this yet, but I assembled it and installed it. It appears to be fairly sturdy, and the mounts don't look like they will do any major damage. One thing I am not too happy about are the nuts that clamp the "U" Bolts to the crossbars. The "U" Bolts have a great deal of very fine thread that you have to go through to get them tight. When you finally get them tight, the end of the bolt comes up above the grate that your luggage will be tied down to (at least on the 2015 Subaru Forester). Obviously this will damage whatever you plan to put there. I plan to cut them off so they don't poke through.

Great product.

Great carry all using it on my 1998 subaru forester and my 2008 cadillac dts to carry 5 gas cans to the station to be filled and I do not have to ride with them in the cars.

Fast delivery! My 10 year old son wanted to help. He ended up putting it together while I supervised. 25 minutes to assemble. We will use to free up space in our 09 Forester for a road trip.

Was quite easy to assemble, instructions are decent. When in the hitch receiver it has some room so is a bit wobbly, but I remedied that with some thin plastic inserted on a couple of sides so now it doesn't wobble much at all. One other modification I made is that I made two washers out of thinner plastic and placed them on the bolt at the folding point, one on each side between the metal, so now it doesn't scratch the paint when you fold the tray and it is snug enough to where the tray will also not wobble back and forth on that bolt. Haven't put any cargo on it yet, but it holds 190lbs of my weight(in the center) rocking up and down...

Thank's Great service

Its a bit fidgety to get everything adjusted and centered, but once you do, it's solid and looks great!

Works good.. Seems like quality construction. Easy assemblage

Needed a lighter weight cargo carrier appropriate for a Subaru Forester. Liked the ability to use in a 1.5 or 2 inch hitch and the threaded hitch bolt that prevents unnecessary sway. Received my order in two days and assembly was a breeze. Perfect mate to the recently purchased hitch from etrailer.com. Another happy customer.
