Inno Wedge Plus Rooftop Cargo Box - 13 cu ft - Matte Black
It is a well-made and a great innovation to a really nice roof carrier. I like it very much on my Subie Outback.
Bought this as a) it fits my wife's Subaru Outback and my Toyota Highlander and b) either vehicle will fit into the garage with the box attached (key functionality when leaving it mounted for multiple months during ski season). Box has performed well so far having gone on its maiden voyage atop the Outback to VA for Xmas and an epic 28-day adventure on the Highlander to CO this past summer. Easy to mount and dismount (even with crossbars that sit a mere 7/8 inch off the roof on my Highlander) and wind noise increase has been barely noticeable. Well-built and I love the latch/lock and liner/mat. etrailer was great at quickly answering my questions regarding dimensions prior to purchase. Would highly recommend.

Reese 60x24 Hitch Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - 500 lbs Capacity - Glossy Black
My 9 year old and I were able to assemble and install this in about an hour. The anti rattle bolt recommended in the video, and the lights, were great additions and I definitely recommend them too. Handled a 900 mile round trip around the northeast and had plenty of room to bring Xmas presents home in the Curt waterproof cargo bag.
This is a solid Cargo carrier. I was originally looking for a rooftop carrier but I came to realize that a cargo carrier is a far superior option for increased weight and size, ease of access, stability and aerodynamic. Although this one doesn't fold up, there is still adequate space to access the rear hatch on my SUV.

Thule Pulse Medium Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Matte Black
Got this unit to put on my Tesla Model 3. I have a stock Tesla roof rack on the car and this cargo bin mounted to it perfectly. The materials and workmanship of the unit are standard THULE quality, which is to say, very good. It feels kind of "wobbly" when one has it on the floor or table, but that's to be expected when there's no roof rack underneath to help make the bottom clamshell rigid. The brackets that hold the shell open for loading also feels kind of "loose," but they actually work quite well, so I assume this is by-design. It was hard to find the keys when this arrived (they were taped with clear tape in a bottom corner of the shipping bag), and since the unit came locked, this was a bit distressful. but I eventually found them and all is fine. It's a fine storage bin.
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.

Yakima GrandTour Premium Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 Cubic Ft - Gloss Black
Used this box on a 2014 Subaru Outback on a 1,000 mile round trip. The fit was perfect, easy to install. It does require two people to lift onto and off the roof racks. No noticeable noise or humming while driving. The space was adequate for our needs, and we used lashing straps (the cargo tie-down points came in great here) to help prevent shifting. Lots of rain on this trip, but everything in the box was perfectly dry.
Item arrived broken still waiting on support highly recommend open the box before accept the delivery

Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Black
I've taken one 1500 mile trip so far with the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 mounted on my RAV4. I found the box to be quiet and not to have much impact on gas mileage. I lost maybe 1 mpg with it mounted to my flush mounted Whisperbars. I drove through some very heavy rain and had a minimal amount of water inside under a thin rubber mat I had placed on the bottom of the box; none on my luggage got wet. This box works great to give me more carrying capacity when traveling with my two crated Dobermans.
Perfect fit on my 2014 Jetta Sportwagen. Lets me accomodate my lighter weight camping gear and leave the heavier stuff in the car. Very secure and aerodynamic and had very little impact on my mileage. My only issue was I could never find the serial number on my rocketbox.

GearSpace 34 Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitch - Slide Out - 34 cu ft - 300 lbs - Dark Gray
Excellent service with etrailer and expeditious shipping! Couldn’t be happier and thank you!!! The model cats are not for sale sadly ??
This is a great cargo carrier with a lot of room, not too happy with the price. We are using this to transport wheelchairs and walkers. We can carry two wheelchairs and a rollater plus rugs, chairs, etc. The top is a clam shell that opens and closes easily once the latches are released. A couple things could be better. The very long power cable that brings power to the license plate light and brake lights has lots of slack when the carrier is not extended, but no way to control it. I've been looking for a spring that I could use to retract the power cable, yet give it some slack when the carrier is pulled out. The other thing is the pair of "locks" that apparently lock the carrier. The locks are flimsy and are not much more than another set of fasteners and would keep out only the most casual thief. Also, the lock between the carrier and the vehicle is very hard to reach, for both locking and unlocking; fortunately, the lock part can be pushed onto the rod while locked. A cable would be easier to deal with but would rattle while driving.

19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Aluminum - Folding - 500 lbs
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.
This thing was not fun to put together. At all. But I got fair warning about it from the reviews. I suggest a 17mm socket bit and a drill. Plan on taking it apart a couple times so don't cinch it down tight at first. Once it is put together it's a solid unit. It'll be nice for our camping trips. The light bulky stuff that took up precious real estate can now ride outside.

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.

Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System w/ 2 Enclosed Cargo Carriers - 2" Hitches
Easy assembly. Great design! Swing out feature is awesome to allow easy access to SUV liftgate. Extra storage space allows 5 or 6 people with luggage, golf clubs, tailgating equipment, etc. to travel together in one vehicle. License plate holder and light kit is a great accessory.
Unfortunately we can’t open rear of 2018 expedition with the top box in place. One of the knob locking pins is/was broken in shipping. I also wish all of the items were keyed the same. This whole setup is 5 keys. I’ll probably call a locksmith and have them all re-keyed if possible.

Inno Phantom 466 Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Gloss Black
Great, high quality cargo box. Perfect size for my Land Cruiser. We are able to fit numerous items inside. Everything from beach chairs to small luggage/bags. Have traveled through numerous storms with no leakage. Very little if any noise while traveling on the highway. Highly recommend this product and doing business with etrailer. Best price and customer service.
The box is great! It was easy to put on/off and looks like it will be a great size for gear storage. I was disappointed by the delivery and handling. There was some cosmetic damage when it arrived. The side had been pushed in enough to make the black finish turn white. I would suggest being there to inspect the package upon delivery since this is coming by freight. I asked someone to do this on my behalf and that turned out to be a mistake on my part. Never the less it’s a great product, well built (it didn’t break from poor handling, and etrailer was great to work with.

Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black Glossy
This rooftop cargo carrier is exactly what I wanted. Well made and super easy to install. Thank you for the fast service.
The box is big (XL), shiny and sleek. Looks great on our 2021 Subaru Ascent. It weighs about 40lbs, so I was able to simply lift it up and onto the stock Subaru cross bars by myself with a bit of effort going towards balance. Then it was just a matter of attaching the clamps by hand tightening them. I don’t think it could get any easier. The locking mechanism is very assertive and secure. The box is big and can hold just about anything you’d need on a road trip. However, on a midsize SUV like the Ascent, it seems like the perfect size, not too small, not too big. It’s a good fit. Unfortunately, my small 2 car garage is too low to accommodate the vehicle with the box in place. Overall it’s a very refined and well thought out package.

Inno Shadow 16 Rooftop Cargo Box - 13 cu ft - Matte Black
My original INNO box I bought back in 2013 and during a wind event in Colorado, it sounded like a Teradactyl landed on my car and ripped open the top. I spent a month researching boxes and still chose the INNO. This is the new and improved version of what I had before. I like the metal clamps that hold it onto the crossbars, instead of the plastic claws on the former. It also is just a titch taller, longer, and wider that will be an asset with skis during the winter and camping equipment during the summer.
I use this box about twice a year when I drive from Missouri to Florida and back. It lets me pack most of our stuff on the roof so we can keep the 3rd row up and fit 4 adults and 3 dogs comfortably for the drive. The only thing I would change is The box has hand knobs with nuts inside them and the nuts fall out. Easy to put back in but it'd be better if they just didn't fall out.

Rhino-Rack Zenith MasterFit Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - High Gloss Black
I just ordered my 2nd cargo box from e- trailer. I really like this box and have ran it on multiple vehicles. Definitely recommend
This was a great experience from start to finish. etrailer: After placing the order, I called regarding shipping and quickly got the answer to my question. The box shipped by ground freight, and arrived almost a week before the original scheduled delivery date. The Rhino arrived perfect with protective wrap, and all the required parts. Rhino Rack: This thing is awesome. Unless you jump up into the $1000+ price point, your rooftop carrier options are limited. My two requirements were to fit my skis (181 & 183 cm) and to allow my tailgate to open fully. The Rhino delivered! Bonus that both baby strollers fit as well (Instep baby trailer and Vista Uppababy). Only a week in, but so far the Rhino box and MasterFit clamps seem solid. The ratchet/locking mechanism on the clamps is just ok, you don't have to twist too hard to over power the lock or feel like you are stripping something internally. The hinges are beefy, but don't take up a ton of storage space. It opens from both sides, and you can't remove the key unless it's locked, which is nice for those of us that don't enjoy picking up our stuff on the highway. Also, if you're like me and spent way too much time on mr-box.com, you'll be pleased to know that this thing doesn't look lame. It's pretty sleek, somewhat low profile, with a touch of Euro. It's not too wide, even on the narrow rails of the A4 Allroad there's extra bar space. I could probably squeeze an upright kayak rack, small ski pinchers, or for the ten of us in the world that own RoadShowers...the RoadShower 4 fits no problem. I definitely recommend a Rhino from etrailer.

Inno Ridge Rooftop Cargo Box - 8 cu ft - Gloss Black
Amazing box. We added it to our lambo for rallies. Used sea sucker mounts.
So I really needed something that was both small but still had lots of room to fit on top of my ND Rf Miata and this was the perfect size. So the method to attach it is quick and pretty easy and I'm able to do it myself without really needing a second pair of hands which is convenient.

Inno Wedge 660 Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 cu ft - Gloss Black
Super easy mounting system. We like the low profile; it still fits skis and snowboards for 4 ppl no problem! Looks great on our Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. Minimal wind noise (any roof box is going to have that). We throw an old rubber yoga mat in the bottom to prevent stuff slipping inside and that works great.
Very easy Transaction. Highly recommended

22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches - Aluminum - 500 lbs
Works great! I needed a rack for transporting bales of hay to my animal sanctuary that was light enough for me, a very petite 60+ woman, to put on/take off by myself. It works perfectly. I did have to buy an extension (was about $10) due to the rear spare tire on my Jeep. Well worth the investment as I use it 2-3 times a week.
The Cargo Carrier works great. It’s light and easy to install and remove. Carrying totes and securing with bungees works well. This makes for minimum effort to open/close van back doors with carrier installed. It is also small and easy to store when not in use.

Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte Black
Excellent car top carrier (not that I've had many to compare it to). Easy to install and remove, sturdy, and fits well on our Toyota Siena. Opening it is a little tricky, as sometimes the top sticks to the bottom a bit. Adds a lot of extra storage to our car, great for when we go camping. Great experience with etrailer.
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).

24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Tilting - Folding - 500 lbs
I love this unit! I’m an avid Camper and Jeeper. My rig has big tires including the spare that requires additional clearance. In addition to hauling my gear, I had concerns about ground clearance off roading and stability. This unit exceeded my expectations on every point! I can even open the tailgate with the unit on and it still has enough clearance to fold up when not loaded. In addition to a great product, the order was confirmed and shipped same day and on my doorstep two days later. It was pretty easy to put together but having a second person to help and fit it on the first time is helpful. Great product!
Rack is very well made and large for the price! Love the multiple angles it supports.
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!"
