24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Awesome product! easy to put together and carries so much gear without impacting gas mileage. I got the light kit so I can really load it but it rides so low with my Subaru Outback they're not really needed.
Very happy with purchase of cargo carrier. Arrived within week and less than 30 min to assemble. Installed on 2016 Suburu, used as cargo carrier, firewood carrier, and as kitchen counter while car camping. Did not block license plate or rear lights on car with cargo bag. Added reflective tape to back side.

24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Product fits just right on our 2011 Subaru Outback. Combined with the anti-rattle lock and etrailer cargo bag; a great combination. Rain and snow and no leaks. Just right...
We're very happy with this purchase; it's spacious and easy to install. We have a Subaru Outback. Combined with a rooftop carrier, we were able to move all of our daughter's things into her college dorm in one trip!

Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 57" Long x 42" Wide - 165 lbs
Great product and easy to put together and install by myself. Cant wait to use it on our upcoming camping trip.
The rack is excellent, sturdy, just what I wanted. The order and delivery process were superb. I think e-trailer has excellent service. My only minor complaint is that the assembly instructions could be much better. Simply a few pictures, with no words is not really adequate. e-trailer's video helped a bit, but still putting some of the minor pieces together takes more guesstimates and multiple tries.

24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Tilting - Folding - 500 lbs
I haven't tested the cargo carrier yet, but this review is for etrailer customer service. After receiving the carrier, the square piece that goes into the hitch receiver was out of square, so it wouldn't go in. We need the carrier to head out of state to visit for Christmas and are leaving tomorrow morning 6am. After calling etrailer, they expedited shipping and the new part arrived today, even though tracking said tomorrow (which would be too late for our trip)! Thank you etrailer for saving Christmas!!! More review to come after the trip!
Love it! Fits perfectly to my Outback. No issues opening hatch and it folds up perfectly to keep me moving once I’m unpacked at the beach. Heavy duty construction too.

Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 44" Long x 39" Wide
I am very happy with both the initial quality of the Load Warrior and how nice the eTrailer people are to deal with... The product seems well thought out and there are a bunch of accessories to mount most anything...
This product fits my 2014 Subaru outback perfectly. It look like it was made for this vehicle. I actually believe this is the same rack you can purchase through Subaru with a faring that says Subaru instead of Yakima. It looks great and adds function and utility

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.
Pretty good. The locking mech is a little funky but it swallows the beach chairs and other sandy stuff no problem. Make sure you watch the videos Yakima has on YouTube. They are very helpful for first timers. I found that if you use the Yakima website to get the part list right you can order wherever you want. Yup can even pull into the garage. My only gripe is that etrailer showed all parts in stock but several pieces were actually back ordered. Luckily everything arrived in time for my trip.

Would highly recommend these products Service was amazing !

Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs
Excellent basket! Very well made. High quality equipment. Taking a star off because it should have included locking cores at the price.
My Thule cargo basket has a real slick yet sturdy design. Strong, loads of space, good finish, and more tie down points than I have ratchet straps. Takes my Outback from being a boring family wagon to a cool trekking machine. While I did encounter initial issues with parts fit, etrailer was immediately responsive and took care to ensure it all worked out. Genuine five stars for service, thank you etrailer!

Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Titan Glossy
Easy to open and close. Holds a great deal of materials. Only challenge is blocking of satellite radio antenna when headed South. On a 2019 Subaru Outback wagon. No issue with full opening of rear hatch.

19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs
i purchased this last week to help keep the inside of my Outback clean. my husband put it together while watching tv, so assembly was easy. so far it has been used to take yard debris to the transfer station and to pick up bags of gravel and top soil. it seems very sturdy as long as you tighten the bolt with a ratchet--otherwise it is a little wobbly. we have an old thule bike rack with the same issue, so we keep a ratchet in the car. it does not weigh too much, so storage and on-and-off is easy.
Excellent value and utility. Clear and easy instructions. Assembly was quick. Great that it fits on both a 1-1/4 or 2-inch hitch. The accompanying threaded hitch pin keeps carrier wiggle free. Only suggestions—Secure bright orange poles (or other hitch aligner sticks) on back ends so you see them in your rear view mirror and drivers behind you are alerted to your extension. I bolted mine on through a side hole and used a cable tie to keep them from rotating. And for those concerned, get a short cable lock for security. Thread it through the receiver chain slots and one of the side holes of the cargo carrier.

Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte Black
Love this Rooftop box! It's easy to install & remove, and very secure. It compliments our Outback, as well, in appearance.
We love this rooftop carrier. It is roomy, lightweight, and very easy to mount onto the factory cross-bars of our 2012 Subaru Outback. We've driven it through rain and had no issues with water infiltration although I believe they have disclaimers that it is not waterproof. It is large enough to fit our full size baby stroller (folded up of course) along with beach umbrellas, sleeping bags, etc.

Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 47" Long x 35" Wide - 165 lbs
Have not hauled anything since installed but it looks great and is solid. When at freeway speeds I can faintly hear the wind whistling through it but I expected that.
Very high quality. Installed in about an hour. Extremely satisfied.

Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black Glossy
Bought this when I bought my new Outback. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it is to attach, load and remove! So far, it's been on a trip from Maryland to Texas and Maryland to Michigan with ZERO issues. I love it as it frees up so much space for the dogs to spread out in the car. Highly Recommended :)

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs
Nice looking carrier and holds a good amount of cargo. It would be nice to have a better mounting system that does not interfere with the bottom of the carrier. Overall, it fit our needs well.
Great product and easy to assemble. We mounted this on a 2021 Subaru Outback.

Thule Motion XT Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black Glossy
Great customer service and great product. Thank you !
This roof box is very sleek in design and I love how low it sits. Everything is wonderful with it; it can fit all my camping gear despite being a slimmer model. I gave it four stars because one of the powerclick clamps that it came with fell apart only after 3 uses and now i’m going to have to drop another $70+ for a replacement. Other than that, I would recommend this item.

Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 44" Long x 40" Wide - 165 lbs
The Yakima OffGrid medium rack arrived yesterday at about 10:30 a.m. It was fully unpacked/assembled/installed by about 11:45. etrailer did a fine job of communicating/pricing/delivering and supporting this good product. I've been using Yakima products (and others) for biking, paddling, fishing etc. for about 45 years. This rack is a serious solution to a variety of uses of a roof rack. I will be able to use it on various vehicles and for a number of applications (sports, chores,travel etc.) It has more flexibility than most racks and I can't imagine a more durable, quality design. My particular needs, being in my "Dotage", are met by the ability to remove the cross bars and fairing for an open platform, or keep them on and custom fit to a spare tire, or bike rack, kayak rack etc. The attaching mechanisms drew my attention. I put this on the car with solo and with caution using a protective mat. It is very manageable and easy to fit. These mechanisms for tightening down on the crossbars bring the added value (and cost) to folks like me that don't want to spend a lot of time and effort installing a rooftop rack. I wanted secure, solid attachment with simplicity. The OffGrid delivers! No pain killers needed after the install! This "Medium" OffGrid is more than adequate for my initial uses. The internal and external dimensions are pretty much ideal for this 2017 Sienna. A full size spare tire will fit just right. A nice fit for a canoe as well. I admit to scouring the internet and considering dozens of products from baskets to platforms and this OffGrid showed a lot of promise. Its versatility and ruggedness competes with the best designs at about half the price of many. My thoughts included the extension bracket, but the medium OffGrid really does meet most of my expectations and needs for various applications. Now, to the matter of noise. There is wind noise. However, for me, it simply blends into the symphony of white noise that comes with highway travel (and the ringing in my ears) :)......Of all the racks, bikes, canoes,kayaks ladders, lumber, etc., etc. that I have carried on car tops, the wind sounds of this carrier are negligible. The fairing is a nice, well thought out feature that works well. So, my five star rating is for both the product and the vendor. Once again "eTrailer" has proven themselves to be one of the best sources of such products nationwide. Their product information efforts are an industry leader and they deserve credit for providing extremely helpful product reviews and explanations. That's what got me to choose them on this purchase. Those of us well into our "Dotage" appreciate learning all we can!

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 64-1/2" Long x 39" Wide x 7-1/4" Tall - 150 lbs
Exactly what I ordered exactly the advertised size and here early!
2016 Subaru Outback. Product fitment and instructions were amazing. Very easy to install and took almost no time at all. Probably close to 30 minutes or so. Very pleased. If you're considering this product, I would recommend giving Greg a call. He helped me out tremendously.

Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box - 21 cu ft - Black Carbonite
I love the product, it fit on my friend's 2022 Subaru Outback, but on my 2023 Outback I can't open the rear door all the way - it touches the back of the Skybox. I'll glue some foam padding on the back of the box, but you might want advise 2023 owners of this.
It took awhile to get the skybox in stock but etrailer stayed on top of it and kept me informed every step of the way. I know supply chains are delayed everywhere but they never gave up. Special shout out to Erica at etrailer.

SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 cu ft - Black
Our SportRack cargo box has worked as hoped / advertised since we bought it over a year ago. What initially attracted me to this particular product was the size and design - it holds A LOT, and the way it opens from the back has helped protect our stuff from getting wet and damaged.
The sportrack vista xl is great! This was our first attempt at a roof mounted cargo box and it has preformed exceprionally well! I purchased this as a gift for my wife, to go on her Subaru Crosstrek. We live in western NC, and have used this to go to the outer banks of NC, eastern Tennessee, and even to bring home supplies from Sam's Club! It's super easy and quick to install, even for one person, and we've been fortunate enough to not have a single leak yet; even though we've been through heavy downpours! And there's plenty of room! If you're in the market for a rooftop cargo box this is the way to go.
