24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
The rack is much bigger than my previous one. I was disappointed that it was made in China instead of the USA. It assembled very easily and the light kit works very well. The only draw back is I can no longer open my tailgate with the rack installed due to the spare tire hitting the raised rack.
Easy to assemble. Karen was very helpful in the ordering process. Thank you

GearSpace 34 Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitch - Slide Out - 34 cu ft - 300 lbs - Light Gray
Very pleased with product and the assistance provided for delivery - when the carrier called to arrange delivery their agent said that I'd be responsible for getting the 300# pallet off the truck so I let etrailer.com customer service rep know this was unacceptable and to my reliefthe delivery came on a lift gate truck with pallet jack. The package was in great shape and easy to get mounted to my Transit 350HD.
A little too early for review, since I just received it. As far as first impressions go..... item arrived well packed. Upon opening it, I noticed that there is a blemish on the side, looks like maybe it was pushed hard in that spot, or something hit it. It's not really big deal, doesn't take away from being able to use it, it's more cosmetic than anything else. The second issue was a bit more serious. One of the long screws on the locking mechanism fell out of its end. It was not screwed in, or permanently welded but glued in. Glue was all dried out and didn't hold anything. We managed to hammer it in, for now, and we will check if it's going to hold up. Box looks nice, roomy and it's easy to put together and install on the car. I'll be able to say more about it once we use it this weekend.

32x48 Reese Solo Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 400 lbs
I received the package in a pretty rough exterior condition but everything was fine inside. The previous comments about having to cut away the expanded metal flooring in order to install the carriage bolts wasn't true in my case. Apparently, this quality control issue has been addressed by the manufacturer. Assembly went well and wasn't complicated. A different carriage bolt with a longer square shoulder should be used. The shoulder doesn't grip too well to the square cutout in the frame and even while pressing firmly on the head of the bolt, it wanted to turn as I was tightening the nut. All in all, it seems to be a solid product and I look forward to using it.
I wish the load capacity was a bit higher, but overall I am satisfied with the cargo carrier. It is perfect for lugging my two dog crates behind my vehicle instead of inside the vehicle. Thank you for offering a dimensionally larger cargo carrier than most retailers.

Malone Cargo16 Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 Cubic ft - Gray
Pro: This box is a perfect option to add to the cargo capacity of my Toyota RAV4. Great for camping, fishing or skiing trips (but watch out that your XC skies don't exceed the length capacity of the box!). Pro: The box fits onto Malone cross bars very securely: once screwed down it's solid. Install and removal is very easy. Con: The front arm that holds the box lid open is attached with a rubber-covered pin at the front, and a metal retainer at the rear, see photos. Without the locking metal retainer, the front arm pops loose off the lid's pin. Initially I thought this was a mfg defect, but this is how it's built. etrailer contacted Malone and both provided great support. Malone sent me a new rubber grommet to insert on the pin at the front arm. But that didn't fix the problem at all. In the end, I replaced the rubber grommet with a metal bolt that permanently attaches the front support arm with the box lid. Would I buy this product again? Probably not.
We received our Malone Cargo Box and are very happy with it. It was installed on a 2016 Subaru Outback. For us, it holds two complete sets of golf clubs, golf shoes, balls, a bag of miscellaneous tie downs, and a small metal carrying case with wheels. We haven't used it on a long trip yet, but locally it's very stable. There is some strong wind noise when the sunroof is open. We also needed to use shims on the rear crossbar to prevent the pod from hitting the antenna. You can access this Box from either side which is nice. Overall we're happy with our purchase.

I’ve got several 1400+ mile trips with this on both a 2017 4Runner and a 2023 Kia Sportage. The basket is well made, easy to install, very solid and so far rust free.

Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 47" Long x 35" Wide - 165 lbs
Greetings, I am giving these items 3? Because I was offered alternative products that did not fit together. Originally, I intended to purchase a roof rack cargo basket type and a spare tire holder from Yakima manufacturer that go well together, but one of them wasn’t in stock. So, after 3 weeks waiting time, I was offered alternative items via etrailer website, and I accepted them…after all, they are the experts. I got the recommended items through UPS, then I assembled them by myself. The roof rack cargo basket fit well on my car, but the spare tire holder was not compatible with the roof rack cargo basket. They couldn’t be assembled together. I submitted my claim to return the spare tire holder. Now, I have not achieved my goal to carry my spare tire. Understanding the needs and expectations of your customers is critical to maximize customer satisfaction. I am sure both products are good, but they are not compatible together, even though they were manufactured by the same company. Distributors should know better! I returned one item and I hope to be refunded.
Great product. Easily puts together and I was able to install on our 2016 Toyota Highlander OEM roof rails with no problems. The mounting brackets slide to make for a easy fit. Have taken it on two long road trips with zero issues last summer one to the montains and one to the beach. Was able to fit our jogging stroller on in the basket. Had some heavy rain on one trip and seen no signs of water getting into the rails as that was a concern of mine when researching the different racks. The high sides allowed for easy tie downs for the weather bag we put the stroller in. Seemed to add a little road noise with nothing in it but that is to be expected when hauling things on the roof but the wind deflector seemed to keep the noise down. Easy to put on and off with a single person able to lift it. Great product, great fit for the car. Plan on using it for some more upcoming trips.

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 64-1/2" Long x 39" Wide x 7-1/4" Tall - 150 lbs
I only use the roof rack for vacations because they make cars so small on the interior now a days. It handles quite a bit of luggage. Including two big size luggage and two small is how I travel. Make sure to get water proof covers and good straps. I stopped every 3 hours to make sure load was secure and drove over 700 miles without any issues. The rack will make whistle noise because of the wind passing through the bars but I just toned it out and blasted the radio . The product is great and sturdy easy on and easy off. My only complaint is putting on the wind guard. I couldn’t figure it out because the instructions have poor information on the wind plate. Also it took two deliveries to receive the product due to my first delivery being opened/ repackaged and missing parts like keys. I returned it and got the product in a new package with no more issues. Customer service was very helpful also and communication was well organized. Make sure to order well in advance just incase you might have to send the product back because of packaging issues. Also product is easy to store without disassembly of the rack rails. I put it in my garage and it takes up no space. I hope this review helps someone. Thank you
I love the rack and the extended length is great on my Sequoia. I am disappointed with the finish on it as the connector plates are already showing signs of rust….. I like it enough that I’m going to repaint it with something more suited to our climate…

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.

20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
Great design and sturdy. I got two hitch pin stabilizers for hitch and folding pin and it worked awesome. I use it for storage for cab over camper and the carrier fits flush with open tailgate. Carries generator water fire wood and I use it as a step to get into the camper.
Bought for my 2020 XC 40. I’ve taking it on several long distance hauls and it’s frees up a lot of space inside the car. I love that you can open the trunk and get items while having the carrier on. The car handles very well with is on. However I would suggest you buy a hitch stabilizer to stop rattling it make the car a carrier act as one. It folds up when not in use so nothing sticking out when not in use.

24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Tilting - Folding - 500 lbs
Super disappointed in this etrailer purchase. The product came in a large box that was fully intact and not damaged. The actual cargo basket was meticulously wrapped and appeared to be brand new as expected. The other components however, like the arm, were in boxes that were smashed, old, worn, and had multiple layers of old tape. The arm itself was scratched and banged up, even rusty in spots. Clearly it was used or had been a returned item. If I wanted a dented, gouged,and rusty Cargo Carrier I would have purchased one used, for half the price. This is not the quality I expect from etrailer.. I have purchased many racks and other items from this company and usually the quality is outstanding. This time they dropped the ball. I have since read other reviews and it is apparent that this is not an isolated incident. I'd have sent it back if it wasn't so damn heavy and awkward to lug around.
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.

SportRack Vista Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - Steel - 44" Long x 39-1/8" Wide - 110 lbs
Yes, I do like it, however when it rains or I have my truck washed, water finds its way into the tubing and when it comes out after a while there is a rusty type water which leaks out on to my truck and leaves spots all over my camper shell and sides of my vehicle. I think if you were to provide a silicon to put around the joining tubes would be very helpful. I have seal with black silicon on all openings and it does make a difference. All in all, I do enjoy my rack/basket and utilize it quite a bit. I, in addition have added several pod and bar lights as shown in the photos provided.

24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
We just installed our carrier. We love that this is going to free up a lot of space for our vacation traveling. Very heavy duty and bigger than i was thinking it would be.The pin that holds the carrier in the hitch was not included. It would have been an added bonus if it was.
This cargo carrier fits perfectly behind my 2023 CR-V. I use it for hauling bags of grass to the yard waste. It is almost a two person job inserting it into the receiver though. Seems well made and well finished.

Aluminum Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 44" Long x 39" Wide x 7" Deep - 150 lbs
This is a great product. As described, easy to assemble, light weight. I needed a solution to carry my spare tire for my 2020 Forrest River NOBO 16.2. The NOBO line comes with Rhino tracks to put accessories on them. The camper has the tire mounted on the bumper, but I needed space for a bike rack. I ordered Aero Bars and mounts from etrailer, and this basket as well as the tie down. Worked Great!!!
This is a great basket! It's very light and durable. I can pick it up easily in one hand even though it's pretty big. I have this basket on my 2011 Yaris and it holds 3 duffel bags full of clothes, a folding vacuum, highchair, 2 camping chairs, a longboard, skateboard, a four foot folding table, and another smaller folding table. I've had a few instances where the basket slipped sideways but that was because of extremely hazards roads in Kings Conservation Area in California and getting ran over by half of a tree tumbling down the road and over top of my car in a down burst from a monsoon in Phoenix. This basket has seen about 8,000 miles through 24 states in the last year and I intend for it to see at least a dozen more this year.

17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
I've been using this Cargo Carrier on my 4 Runner Venture for about a year now. I Purchased this item to haul extra gear to Nags Head from Northwestern Virginia. Installation was a breeze and it's very, very sturdy. I had two Yeti coolers packed with ice and drinks and there was no wobbling at all. I'm a 197 pounds and I was standing on it after I installed it just to check for durability and this thing is a beast. I also used this as a rod holder while on the beach and I caught a 6 foot black tip shark. Overall, I'm very pleased with this item and I would recommend to a friend.
This is a substantial, well-made product at exactly the size I needed - smaller than many, and with sides that keep items secure. It was very easy to assemble, with all parts included and clearly sorted, and with all pieces manufactured to cleanly align. The item arrived promptly, packed to protect the shipment but without waste. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a high-quality cargo carrier.

23x59 Stromberg Carlson Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Carrier and box will be moved to hitch on 209 Solitude Rv to provide extra cargo carrying ability
A good size and very strong. I like the fact that it has a grated bottom, as opposed to a few bars like many of its competitors. There are many holes and notches present for any customization desired. Also makes for a great chair to relax. I also ordered the anti-rattle pin so as to fasten this tightly to the hitch. IMO that should be included with any of these trailer-hitch-Mount accessories.

Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 22 cu ft - Black Glossy
We love our Thule rooftop box. It's a great accessory to our Honda Pilot, and made our frequent skiing & camping trips a lot easier. Quality is superb. For its size, it's actually relatively easy to mount (takes two people to lift it up). Loading/unloading requires standing on the frame of the car and is also easier with two people.
So I just received my 22cuft Thule rooftop carrier and it arrived somewhat damage free. The edges of the box where the nose and rear of the carrier were packaged very well with extra material. The center of the box was smashed and had several holes. I know the holes are not e trailer fault but actually the shipping company that sends it across the country. There was a removable plastic film on the carrier that I think helped a lot and kept the unit from being scratched. One area on the back lifted and now I have a small area that I need to wax and buff because it was scratched from the box. Overall I knew the risk in shipping an 8 foot box and just took the gamble. Overall it turned out ok. I placed the carrier on my 22 kia telluride with factory bars. It fit perfect. The locking system worked and was secure to the bars on the roof. Both sides of this 22 cu ft carrier opened flawlessly and there is going to be plenty of room to place luggage inside. I’m glad I went with the 22 because I think I would have wanted a bigger one if I got the 18. My issues are not skis and tents but actual luggage when we all travel so the extra room is great. Have not traveled with it yet and if I have issues after the first trip I will edit this review. So far I am satisfied with this purchase, etrailer and this product.

Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 74" Long x 48" Wide
Roof rack arrived dented and scratched which complicated the installation because I had to hammer out dents to get the pipes to fit. Apart from that, the paint/coating scratches off fairly easily and the installation design is pretty awful. Instead of threading the pipe to accept screws they have this complicated plastic gasket mechanism which takes forever to align. I expected more from Yakima and for the price. Quick delivery from etrailer and good fit overall-- just need to wait and see about rust.
Initial quality was excellent and assembly a snap. Finding a roof basket that wouldn't look like a tiny hat on a Jeep Commander was difficult, but the MegaWarrior is perfect! Assembly and mounting took less than an hour and it looks great. Now it just needs to be outfitted with a set of off-road lights. ;-)
Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System with Enclosed Cargo Carrier and Cargo Carrier Review - 2022 Nis
How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com, and we're gonna take a look at the Yakima EXO system, outfitted today with the GearLocker and GearWarrior on our 2022 Nissan Armada. The EXO system is a modular system that's gonna allow you to customize your setup to how you need it. In this particular example, we have a cargo basket and a cargo box with a locking lid. Essentially the reason you would want a kit like this, or in general with the Armada, it's a large vehicle, but it's mostly focused on moving passengers, so it puts cargo space at a premium. With a kit like this along with a roof rack, you can maximize the amount of gear you can bring along for your journey. Our GearWarrior Cargo basket is made of powder-coated steel to give you a nice rugged exterior to hold up against the elements on your journey.
Flint Hill Goods Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2022 Nissan Armada
How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Flint Hill Goods Steel Cargo Basket on the back of our 2022 Nissan Armada. What a cargo basket is gonna do for you, it's gonna increase the amount of cargo you can carry. In a vehicle like the Armada, where it's more focused on carrying a lot of passengers, you're limited in your cargo space and this is gonna help increase that. You can put your bigger, bulkier items that you wouldn't necessarily want inside of the vehicle as well, like things that may get dirty, as well as generators and just about anything you could carry on the inside. Our carrier is constructed a powder coated steel, which is gonna give you a nice, durable finish to hold up against the elements. On the rear, you also have included reflectors to give you a higher level of visibility for additional safety.
Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Rooftop Cargo Box Review - 2022 Nissan Armada
How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Yakima 16 cubic foot SkyBox NX on our 2022 Nissan Armada. The SkyBox is gonna give you more cargo area to accommodate about three people to give you more space to carry the bigger, bulkier items that may not fit in your Armada if you're maxed out on capacity as far as passengers, and you have your third row up. This is a real good way to just maximize the space that's already available to you on the roof. The SkyBox is lockable and you're able to open it from both sides of your vehicle. And if you take a look on the inside of this guy, you can see that you have plenty of space with the clamps being almost flush. They are adjustable to meet the requirements for different types of crossbars, but just about any position that you have it on the roof, you're gonna be able to get it secured to the top pretty easily.
Flint Hill Goods Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2022 Nissan Armada FHG27ZR
How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com, and we're taking a look at the Flint Hill Goods Aluminum Cargo Basket on the back of our 2022 Nissan Armada. The person that's gonna want to add a cargo basket to the back of their Armada is someone that understands that the Armada's more geared towards moving passengers, whereas it leaves you limited as far as your cargo space. So this is gonna allow you to use the back area of your vehicle and take advantage of your hitch to get more things on the road with your journey. Your basket is constructed of extruded aluminum, and what that means, it's gonna be a lot sturdier than cast aluminum. You're gonna have solid tie-down points at the top, as well as the strips on the side to give you additional stability across your basket. One thing that I point out with these types of baskets that have these huge holes, if you have smaller items, you may wanna lean towards something that has a mesh on the bottom.
Curt Folding Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2022 Nissan Armada
How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at our Curt folding cargo basket on the back of our 2022 Nissan Armada. Our Curt basket is a powder-coated steel construction. It's gonna help you against corrosion and just wear and tear on the road. The bottom features a mesh that's gonna work if you have finer items that could possibly slip through, and you have good tie down points using the actual top tubing versus the side panels here. That's more for stability versus actually, security for tying down. The Curt cargo basket is a really great option to increase your cargo area that you can carry in your Armada.
Reese 24x60 Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2022 Nissan Armada
How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Reese steel cargo basket on the back of our 2022 Nissan Armada. A cargo basket is gonna be a great option to increase your ability to transport cargo, your larger items, heavier items, and some of those dirty, bulky items that just wouldn't want inside of your vehicle. With the Armada focus mostly being on passengers and having a limited amount of cargo space, a cargo basket is a great option to increase that. It's constructed of powder-coated steel that's gonna hold up against the elements and you know, basically anything you throw at it. Has a nice, mesh steel floor to it that's gonna hold those smaller items that you may pack alongside. And you have really sturdy tie-down points and supports on the side.
Flint Hill Goods Roof Cargo Basket Review - 2022 Nissan Armada
How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com. And we're gonna take a look at the Flint Hill Goods Rooftop Cargo Basket on our 2022 Nissan Armada. The Flint Hill Goods Cargo Basket is gonna allow you to increase how many things you can carry with you when you're on the road. The Armada, as you can see, it's actually more a passenger-focused vehicle, and this'll allow you to get some of those bigger, bulkier items down the road along with you. The carrier itself has a powder-coated finish and included steel, wind fairing. That's gonna help reduce the drag and wind noise.
Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Review - 2022 Nissan Armada
How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Curt Roof-Mounted Cargo Basket on our 2022 Nissan Armada. A cargo basket is going to give you ability to carry bigger, bulkier items that you wouldn't necessarily want on the inside so let's take a closer look at it. Our Curt Basket has a included fairing that's gonna help reduce the wind noise, you're gonna experience from your cargo basket, as well as giving you these nice sturdy tie down points if you're using cable ties or anything else. It is powder coated steel, so it's gonna be nice and sturdy, and that powder coating is pretty thick, so I feel very confident that it's gonna hold up for a while. You have padded brackets and a U-bolt style to fasten around your bars. The crossbar that we're using here are the NO Arrow Bars, and these guys are gonna work with just about every style across bar out there, factory bars, square, round, and elliptical so you wouldn't have much problems with compatibility.
Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket Review - 2022 Nissan Armada
How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Yakima Skinny Warrior Rooftop Cargo Basket on our 2022 Nissan Armada. What the Skinny Warrior does for you, kind of how the name suggests, it's a more narrow basket and by design it's meant to give you some cargo area on top of your roof while not taking up the entire width of your crossbar. So you still have space open for a kayak carrier, bike rack, or any rooftop accessory, maybe even a tent, that could fit into that space. As you can see with the hatch open, you have plenty of space and no hazard of bumping into your hatch in the open position. It kind of cuts off in the further position right here at your rails. If you go with a crossbar set like the handle that we have installed, it doesn't use a fixed point, so you can make adjustments forward or backwards to accommodate whatever type of load you have in your basket.
