24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Solid carrier with plenty of room! Wow, I put this carrier to the test on a 1,600 mile road trip with our 2007 Toyota Highlander and was not disappointed. Plenty of room to store luggage for a family of four plus a load of Christmas presents. We kept everything secure and dry with the etrailer.com 20-cubic foot cargo bag and kept side movement to practically nil with the anti-rattle hitch pin. All around, the whole set up was rock solid and looked great! I highly recommend the light kit as well. With the cargo bag fully maxed out, the Highlander's taillights were blocked. And since we do a fair amount of driving at night I also added some reflective tape all around the top bar to give not only the sides some visibility, but also the back to get the attention of those not-so-attentive drivers behind me. Lastly, the kit was easy to put together; it came with spacers but I did not need them to obtain a flush assembly; the separation problem some have reported during assembly was avoided by torquing down the bolts around the nameplates before the main bar bolts, just as others have reported to have worked for them.
Easy to assemble. Easy to install. Holds a lot on back of 2014 Highlander.

20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
I bought the Curt luggage rack and the Curt hitch for my wife's Highlander and used the hitch last year too tow motorcycle to the beach had no issues and this year got the luggage rack to go to the beach and it also worked extremely well.Overall very pleased with the ease of purchase and the quality of the equipment so farplus very easy to install and put together. Very satisfied customer. Don
Carrier was easy to assemble and it looks like it will work very well on my Highlander. I am not an engineer, so there may be a reason why the unit can't be slipped into the hitch receiver further, thus not sticking out quite so far. It will slip in but the locking hole only aligns at one spot. I think it will serve my purposes very well and I am happy with it.

19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Aluminum - Folding - 500 lbs
Had few questions about a roof rack and hitch carrier they were quickly and promptly answered (both informative and a fun email!). Place an order and delighted with the products, they exceeded my expectations.
Couldn't be more pleased. prompt delivery, product as described, I had it on the back of my Highlander within an hour. The enclosed instructions aren;t extremely detailed and I used the picture more than the printed word. One word of advice for other infrequent tool handlers- Really, Really don't tighten the connections completely until all of the nuts and bolts are in place. I went back and forth a few times because I ignored this in the instructions.

24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Excellent Cargo Basket. Well made. Took 20 minutes to put together ( 11 bolts ). 24 X 60 is a good size ...Love the curt products ....But wish they made it 24.5 or 25 x 60. After trying to organize my gear for a trip.... I would go with a 25 X 60 product ... lots of mid-sized coolers and totes are 24 inches like the Yetti 45 .. so it will not fit if set in front to back, has to go side to side and takes up a lot more space (more wasted space) Craftsman makes so nice totes that are made for tying down, can add a lock and stack if needed.
Hello! Quick service. Less than two days! It will give more room in my 2013 Highlander. Thanks again! G Leake

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.
This carrier worked out great. The tilt down feature is helpful to have but I didn't really need it. However, the fold up feature was helpful when driving around, so I recommend that as a convenience. The only thing I had trouble with was the hitch bolt. I have a Thule bike rack that I've used with my truck hitch receiver and never had a problem, but this rack's hitch bolt was a real pain to get in at first. Don't be dismayed. With the rack off of the vehicle, I used some WD-40 and some lithium grease on the bolt and then used an adjustable wrench to screw it in and out a number of times. I noticed a bunch of either paint or metal shards gumming up the threads on the bolt each time I removed it. After about 5 times of screwing it in and out, wiping off the bolt with a towel, adding some more grease once in a while, it got to the point that I could screw it in and out by hand pretty easily. Problem solved. I'm really happy with this rack. It fit two big coolers of food and beer plus beach umbrellas and other stuff. It's really strong and sturdy. The biggest issue was not the weight on the rack, but whether the rear suspension on the Highlander could hold it with our other junk in the back plus passengers. :-)

This is a great product not to big and not to small. Seem to be very sturdy and strong, and it was very easy to put together. It doesn't stick out to far from the car either which is what I was hoping for. I also bought the same brand hitch to attach this to our 2015 highlander.
The order comes very fast,and easy to set up.look very good strong and good on my car .i hope to deal with you I the future again .Thanks.

GearDeck 17 Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Slide Out - 17 cu ft - 420 lbs - Black
Perfect sized box for carry sized luggage and softball game day gear. Proven space saver. Receiver is showing signs of rust otherwise would be a ten. Would buy again.
The cargo carrier generally performed as intended, but it took a lot of tinkering and a warranty replacement of the lid to complete things to our satisfaction. On delivery we found that both two aluminum side stiffeners had been bent during shipment, and were replaced fairly quickly. We then found excessive play in the fit with the receiver, and it was impossible to accommodate a "noise reduction clamp" properly at the hitch, so I used part of a bent aluminum stiffener to apply pressure across the connection between the receiver and the hitch. And lastly, the lid section was warped by over 1", which still kept rain out, but did not keep fine dust out, and it was very unsightly. After a bit of discussion, a replacement lid was provided at no cost, which I have not yet had the chance to inspect as it was delivered to our Arizona home over the summer, and we spend the summer in Canada.

23x59 Stromberg Carlson Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
I bought this trailer to use with my 2013 highlander and it meets all my expectations. I've used it to haul a variery of equipment including a small push LAWN mower and a 350lb plug aereator and it was solid. My only complaint is it is too narrow. So far so good.
Carrier and box will be moved to hitch on 209 Solitude Rv to provide extra cargo carrying ability
What our customers are saying:
"We got the cargo bag and used it on the DrawTite cargo rack with no rails and took the whole load up and over the Smokey Mountains! What a fabulous product!"
