etrailer Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon

Zack: Hi everybody, Zack here at etrailer.com. Today we're taking a look at the etrailer aluminum cargo carrier on a 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon. This is going to be an excellent way to give you some extra storage capacity in our Outback. This is going to give us a 500 pound load limit when it comes to stacking stuff up on here. Now when it says 500 pounds it doesn't mean you can put 500 pounds directly in one spot, that's evenly distributed, but that is right in line with most of the cargo carriers out there. And with this being made of aluminum, it's extremely lightweight.



etrailer Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon e98874

Today on your 2015 Subaru Outback, we're going to be taking a look at etrailer.com's folding and tilting cargo carrier. With a 500 pound carrying capacity, you can easily load this thing up and take almost all the gear that you would have in your vehicle, put it here at the back and free up room for more passengers. We're able to clear out all the gear from our Outback and place it back here due to its 24 x 60 inch inner dimensions that we have to stack up our here. Our gear is kept in place with the railing that goes all the way around the outside that is six and a half inches tall, so it'll keep in those larger boxes or items you may have here from sliding around and then you can strap all of your cargo down once you've got it loaded up with the various attachment points that we have located all around the edge of our cargo carrier.The mesh bottom keeps our cargo in place from falling through and it's also great for your smaller cargo. Keeps that from falling through, but what it does let through is dirt and debris. So, after you've hauled your cargo to your destination, sometimes you have to go through some off trail roads, gravel roads, and there might be some dirt and debris on here, unload it and just take a hose, it sprays right off and all the dirt and debris just falls through the mesh.
