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.

Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 47" Long x 35" Wide - 165 lbs
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.
We purchased this roof basket for our many adventures. On long distance road trips, we pair it with the Thule Tahoe bag. For my business, I can leave for a two day trip with an empty car and come back with it completely full of inventory, including the roof. The basket is amazingly versatile. It's quick to install and take off. Locally, we use it for oversized items, and airport pick ups of visiting family. We have two dogs, roof basket gives them so much additional space in our Forester. No more playing square inch Tetris with our stuff. We can hop in and take off. Highly recommended.

Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte Black
Excellent quality, as expected from Thule. Fit and finish are first rate. Looking forward to a number of years of service.
Excellent roomy cargo box. My wife’s luggage even fit (see photo). Fit the top of my Forester like it was meant to be there and the hatch opens without obstruction. Great shipping by etrailer.com via Estes freight shipping (almost overkill on shipping).

Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 44" Long x 40" Wide - 165 lbs
Very solid Cargo Basket; expensive, like all Yakima products, but should last forever. Took 30 minutes to put together; will probably take another 30 minutes to put on top of our 2021 Subaru Forester (Waiting until tomorrow for cross bars to arrive). When it was delivered I was concerned because the box had two corners completely torn out from shipping, but the pieces inside were in perfect condition, so no harm done.
I recieved my order in just a couple of days. It was easy to assemble and fits as advertised. Thanks to Etrailer for their great service.

24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Tilting - Folding - 500 lbs
I bought this to haul stuff from the east coast of the US to Alaska. I didn't go direct - over 5000 miles with this. On some not so good roads along the way. It was rock solid. The tub with my stuff in it weighed 130lbs.
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.

SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 cu ft - Black
After a year of dependable use the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box continues to perform to my needs, wants, and expectations. The 2 attributes that shine the most are ease of access/cargo loading (rear access vs. side) and ease of off/on (lightweight and access to the U-bolt hardware). While the overall quality of the materials and hardware are not quite "Excellent", they're darn close. For my needs I'm very happy with this cargo box and the price point makes it a better option the the more expensive brands. It may not be as cool and groovy as a Th*** or Yak*** box but it gets the job done.
The Roof Box was as described and fit great -- Nice. Shipping however was not good, trucker dropped it and the skid at the foot of the driveway -- It looked like it had been crushed and dropped. There was some slight damage, but we accepted it as complaining would be more trouble than it is worth. E Trailer should vet their carriers better -- no care taken with this shipment.

17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
was fairly easy to install the 2019 Forester..........even for me.
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.

19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs
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.
I found the 16#tork setting on the web site,but it should be included in the directions. I plan on using it to carry a tall propane tank to the refill station. I will be using the 1-1/4" only.

19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Aluminum - Folding - 500 lbs
Thank's Great service
I use this on my 2022 F250, when hauling my cab over. I was able to remove the folding part and attach it straight to my hitch to get it closer to the back of the truck. It’s light weight, decently sturdy, and easy to assemble.

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.
Very well built quality products from Yakima.

Thule Pulse Medium Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Matte Black
I can see why people consider the box a bit flimsy, especially when you do not have it secured to the car and nothing is inside. That’s normal. For this to weigh 34 lbs and yet to be wall sturdy and provide waterproof conditions that the bag cannot, it has to be lightweight. Once we attached it to the car at 4 points, it wasn’t going anywhere and was instantly sturdy. I wouldn’t roughhouse with the locks or opening it up and down with force however. Also, 14 cu for a sedan is plenty. Anything larger and you are looking to push the limits.

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs
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.

20x47 Reese Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs
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.
Good quality construction and materials. Easy to assemble.Works like it should.

Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs
I love this basket! Once I centered on cross braces, it was easy to leave the connectors in same spot. Also, low enough profile to drive in and out my garage. We have a screen door so that made it a shorter height than traditional garage door.
Excellent! Only issue regarding shipping box a bit battered - but product packed well. Also, hardware missing ie a single washer, which was replaced with one of my own.

Curt 60x24 Hitch Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - 500 lbs Capacity - Matte Black
Great cargo rack! Well made and strong. We modified ours to carry our ebikes on top of our generator and cooler. We've been from coast to coast with no problems.
Used it a hand full of times for camping with two different SUVs and its been great. Once over 2000 miles round trip. With the waterproof bag you can hold more gear since it goes above the side rails. Just be careful if your driveway slopes down you’ll lightly scrape the ground when backing out. And if you have a smaller suv or car make sure you center the heaviest items or it will feel it pulling back and forth on the freeway.

Reese 60x24 Hitch Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - 500 lbs Capacity - Glossy Black
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.

etrailer Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2019 Subaru Forester
Zach: Hey guys, Zach here at etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the etrailer aluminum cargo carrier on our 2019 Subaru Forester. This is going to be a really good cargo carrier if you're looking to free up some room in the back, carry some extra gear, but also you don't want something that's going to weigh a ton, and it's going to be easy to kind of maneuver whenever we're not using it. Now, it's made of aluminum and it's lightweight, so you may think that you're not going to have good capacity.But, this actually has a 500 pound capacity, which is just as high as most of the other steel options that we have, but it's going to save a ton of weight whenever we don't have to use this, and we're tryingq to put it back up in the garage. It has a 60 by 22 outer dimension, but I'm going to give you some dimensions on the inside for the usable space. That's going to measure at 20.5 by 58, just a little over 58.
How Does the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches Fit on a 2019 Subaru Forester?
Zach: Hey guys, Zach 00:00:01 here at etrailer.com, and today we're going to be taking a look at the etrailer Folding and Tilting Cargo Carrier on our 2019 Subaru Forester. This is going to be one of the larger-sized cargo carriers that we offer. It's 24 by 60, and I can give you quick measurements there on what this is going to do on the capacity on the internal dimensions, which, in my opinion, is the most important, and that is going to be . It was right at 60.So this is going to give us that true 60 by 24, not the outer dimensions. The inside ones are going to be five and a half, so that gives us really good capacity there. 500 pounds is what we can carry on this safely.
Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2019 Subaru Forester
Randy: Hey guys, it's Randy here at etrailer.com. We've got in one of the new 2019 Subaru Foresters, so we wanted to test-fit the folding cargo carrier that we've got from Curt. So this one's been designed for your mobility chairs, different wheeled items, because it does have that ramp. It allows you to pull things up and on rather than having to get a couple people and try to lift it up and on. Essentially what we've got is about 30 and a half inches of usable space inside here, can have about 50 inches of usable space there and a 500 pound weight capacity. It's going to get us right up there where we need to be.
