Most Popular CURT for 2005 Nissan Frontier

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…

The rack and extension arrived in sturdy boxes, well packed and no damage in shipping. The parts fit together easily. The welds left something to be desired, which is why I gave it only 4 stars. As a precaution against corrosion,I got some plasti-dip, which is a rubberized vinyl sealant and sealed all the places where moisture could get into the various tubes of the rack. I was satisfied with the quality of the powder coating on all the parts. The mounting system to the roof rack is interesting and appears well-designed. The assembly and installation instructions are OK, but could have been written better. For example, there is an extra tightening knob for the U-bolts, but no description if it is there as a spare.

First off, etrailer is awesome. I placed my order over the phone so I could ask if it was possible to have it shipped to me before a certain date. Nicole took my order, ensured me it would be there, and even followed up to make sure it shipped out the same day. Received it exactly when she told me I would. First Impression: Everything arrived on time and assembly took about 30 minutes. The basket is aluminum, but the support pieces and main shank looks to be carbon steel (I think, did not feel like scratching it to be sure). These pieces are thick, so I am not too worried about corrosion. I may just have to keep the paint touched up on these parts. Assembly: Some of the instructions could be a little more clear showing what piece goes on top of the other, and I would prefer to have a toque spec. It was difficult at times to hold a piece in place and tighten the bolt/nut. Overall, it was not bad though. Some misalignment of the pin holes at the folding joint when first assembled, but pin was able to go through with a little maneuvering. It may have adjusted itself going down the road because the pin goes in an out fairly easy now. I also added a little grease in the folding joint to prevent scratches/rust to the area since I do not think it is aluminum. Appearance and Fit: The carrier look is great. Unit is lightweight and easy to handle. Good fit for my 2017 Frontier with a 2" drawtite hitch using a j-hook anti-rattle pin. Very glad I got a carrier that folds up! Once the cooler was unloaded, I did not have to take the unit off the hitch to run errands and park in parking lots. Travel: Hauled a large ice chest (~60lbs) for a 4 hour round trip this weekend without issues. Ratchet strap bends the lip of the carrier in a little to get everything very tightly tied down, but that is not an issue for me. Everything road very well and no measurable affect to the vehicle or rattling noises. This was a test run, but I am confident that I could haul more weight without issue. Pros: Lightweight, Good Look, Folding, Aluminum basket should reduce maintanence Cons: Shank and bracing appear to be painted/coated carbon steel (not aluminum), Assembly could have been easier and instructions could have been a little more more specific

Awesome cargo carrier, perfect for my use!!

I was so disappointed with the cargo carrier that I didn't both writing an initial review. Installation instructions are poor, but what makes things particularly bad is that there aren't nearly enough washers provided. This means that when you go to tighten everything down, the metal dimples inward wherever there isn't a washer. Who manufacturers a product which only provides half the amount of washers that are needed. Also, the method in which this fits 2 different hitch sizes is pretty poor. Had I known that this is how the product would work, I would have ordered two different cargo carriers.

Great quality and serves its purpose. I wish I ordered the slightly bigger one to fit the bins and items I use it for. For example, a white standard igloo cooler doesn’t fit the way I need it to maximize loading capacity. I highly recommend a stabilizer to prevent wobble.

Very durable basket, and fairly easy to install. It's definitely transformed the look and practicality of our little SUV.

I am very pleased with the quality for the price.Just the right size for my 2017 Chevy Trax.the "U" bolts that are used to clamp the basket to the roof cross bars were a bit long so I cut them shorter & installed rubber caps on top of each stud. This keeps the studs from damaging items in the bssket.See pictures.

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.

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.
