Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black Glossy
Perfect size for my 2018 forester to fit snowboard/ ski equipment for my family. Installation was simple, and the accessibility from both sides is an added bonus! I would definitely recommend this product.

Yakima SkyBox 18 Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black Carbonite
I replaced an old Thule box with this. My opinion is that the locking mechanism, the clamping system, and the hinges are superior to the Thule's. Especially the locking mechanism. I used to have to wrestle the Thule box to get things lined up so that I could close and lock the box. And the bonus is that this box was less money (than an equivalent Thule) and eTrailer shipped it for free!
We have not yet taken the Skybox on a road trip so I can't talk about the box itself. But I can talk about the buying experience at etrailer. 5 stars!. There was a wealth of helpful information about the various choices for cargo carriers, including dimensions and clearance requirements, and I found the installation videos extremely valuable. Great personalized follow-up after the order was placed and after arrival. The Skybox arrived on time, well packed and in great shape.

17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
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.
Bought to use on a 2016 Subaru Forester. I like the overall size. It's not as wide or wider than the Forester and I can still easily access the rear hatch. With the anti-rattle bolt, it is really stable. Now the reason for the 4 stars and not 5. I added some additional reflective tape on the side corners because at night, in a dark parking lot, it is not easy to see. But what is really annoying is the carrier is at the same height as the exhaust tip. I thought that if there was an issue with this there would be something in the reviews (which there was no mention of this being a possible issue). On a trip from southwest Ohio to Minneapolis I learned the hard way that this is a serious issue. The exhaust gasses melted a hole in the cargo bag I was using to protect gifts from the elements. Thankfully the condensation that built up in the bag kept the cardboard box the bag melted to from possibly igniting. Things were damp, but not ruined. For many vehicles, you will need an adapter to raise the carrier up and away from the exhaust. You could use a turn-down exhaust tip, but this may just make the hot gasses hit your cargo from a different angle. The second time I used with a Curt adapter with rubbermaid tubs and had no issues.

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

20x47 Reese Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs
Good quality construction and materials. Easy to assemble.Works like it should.
Our order came today and it was simple to put together. We had also ordered the light kit and was able to put them on the cargo rack with no problems. Only problem that we had was when we went to put it on my wifes Suburu Forester and couldn't put the pin in as the rack didn't go in far enough. When we had the receiver hitch installed on her car, they put one on that had a stop inside the hitch so you have to watch what racks and such you try to put on it. We just made a small knotch in the cargo carrier tube, but I didn't really like doing that, so we ordered a new correct hitch from e-trailer and will hopefully be installing that this weekend.

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.
Love my new Thule canyon xt roof cargo basket!! Fits on my 2022 Toyota Prius Nightshade, it was easy to assemble!! Shipping was awesome came in quicker then I expected!!

19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs
Excellent workmanship. Product is exactly as described.
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.

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 64-1/2" Long x 39" Wide x 7-1/4" Tall - 150 lbs
Its a bit fidgety to get everything adjusted and centered, but once you do, it's solid and looks great!

Trunx Rooftop Cargo Carrier - 9 cu ft - Black
This box looks great and seems easy to assemble. I was looking for an 18 cu ft box that would fit both a 2016 Ford Fusion Energi and and a 2014 Subaru Forester and this box seems to meet our needs. I did have to drill a couple of extra holes in the bottom to fit the Fusion, but that's okay. Great product and great price. The support staff was awesome as well. Thanks Guys!
I used this with my 2014 Subaru Forester, yakima roof rack system. I traveled across country, from North Carolina to Arizona, with this on, and it worked great! I had it completely full. I didn't even realize it was on the roof! I would recommend this.

Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 57" Long x 42" Wide - 165 lbs
1. Terrible Instructions. 2. Good Customer Service with etrailer. 3. Build Quality looks to be there. 4. Not sure product is worth the price?
Great product. Great quality. Instructions not real clear, so took me a couple of hours to assemble. Then another 15-20 minutes to secure to roof racks. I was working alone, extra hands would have helped. But extremely happy with quality and looks of product. We have lots of family that visit us, so I plan to carry luggage on the rack to free up space inside the vehicle on trips to and from the airport.

19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Aluminum - Folding - 500 lbs
Thank's Great service
I bought this Cargo Carrier, to use on my 2015 Subaru Forester, when I travel to different festivals, as a Blacksmith, throughout the Southeast. It only took about 30 minutes to assemble, using the included instructions. I love how big this carrier is; it will easily hold all my display tables, my cooler, as well as my canopy tent bag. I also love that it folds up, out of the way, once it's unloaded; makes parking worry free.

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs
So far I am very happy. The rack came well packaged and delivered on time. The rack seems rugged and well built....easy to put together...have not mounted it yet but I am hopeful its as easy as it looks.
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.

Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black AeroSkin
This is a larger roof box, but it fit just fine on our Subaru Forester. Holds a lot of gear for camping, and it's long enough to carry cross country skis too.
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.

24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Hitch platform on my 2011 Subaru Forester. Thanks for the great service!!
Love it! We put it on a Subaru Forester, it is a bit heavy, but worked GREAT on our two week vacation. Packaging was good, had a few dents, but I am sure those won't be the last. Very happy with this purchase and the quality of this item.

Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 44" Long x 39" Wide
I found the directions confusing, and it was impossible to get though the customer support phone line. When you put the two halves of the cage together, on one side the holes did not line up very well. I tried to screw the screw in anyway and it stripped. The directions were just plain wrong in how far apart the cross bars should be. Mainly, I felt alone in this effect-- there really is no phone customer support with Yakima. Expect to use the chat instead.
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.

Thank's Great service
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.

Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 47" Long x 35" Wide - 165 lbs
20 min assembly and easy installation of Rhino cargo Xtray but vague final instructions though. Had to research online. Looks great and solid const. Will drop your mpg. Had issues with Yamika towers for crossbars, spoke to customer service was helpful. But torquing screw to hold down the round bar adapters made of very cheap metal. Had one strip. Yamika should spend the extra $.10 and use better screws..finally happy with over all product and look.
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.

24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Tilting - Folding - 500 lbs
This trailer is really great. It arrived very quickly from Etrailer. It is very sturdy and high quality. I worked very well for carrying the cooler and extra supplies this weekend on the back of my Subaru Forester. I did have a mechanic put it together as I also had a hitch installed on the vehicle so I can't speak to the inital installation but removing it is simple. I will be getting alot of use from this.
Seemingly solid in build quality. Simple to fold up and tilt if needed. Makes traveling with a lot of gear nice and easy without filling up our cabin space.
Yakima Roof Box Review - 2018 Subaru Forester
What's up everybody it's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be checking out the Yakima GrandTour on our 2018 Subaru Forester. Now this is gonna be a rooftop box. Great for getting all that gear outside of your Subaru, and up on the roof, that way everybody's got more leg room on the inside, and they're happier on their adventures. Now this one happens to be 16 cubic feet and let's just hop up there and open it up. You got this nice, metal handle here.
Yakima Roof Basket Review - 2018 Subaru Forester
What's up everybody it's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be checking out the Yakima off-grid basket for your rooftop. It's going to go on your roof bars, and then we're doing it on a 2018 Subaru Forester. So right away, it's a rooftop basket. That's going to help you carry that extra gear that you couldn't fit inside your vehicle. Or stuff you just don't want inside your vehicle.
Curt Roof Basket Review - 2018 Subaru Forester
Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Subaru Forester we'll be installing Curt's roof mounted cargo basket, part number C18115. This is a nice simple cargo carrier. It's great because it doesn't interfere with any of the operations that come factory on your vehicle. It's the economy option, it's got plenty of tie-down points and what I like best about it, is that you have that option to extend it. So if you're going on those longer trips, your family gets bigger, this thing is going to keep growing with you.This cargo basket is going to increase your vehicle's carrying capacity to be able to put more gear on top of your roof or you can take gear that was inside your vehicle and put it on the roof and now you've got more room for passengers inside the vehicle.It measures 41 1/2 inches long, 37 inches wide and 4 inches deep, and features 150 pound carrying capacity. Now you do want to check your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure you're not exceeding the carrying capacity of your factory roof rails.Now, if you need more carrying capacity you can get an extension that will add 21 inches of length, bringing it to to a total of 62 1/2 inches.
What our customers are saying:
"It arrived on 12-22 in plenty enough time to get it installed on the cargo carrier for my wife's Jeep for Christmas. Again, Thank You All and Happy Holidays...P.S. I will highly recommend your site to my friends. Look forward to ordering from you again in the future."
