Malone Profile18S Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 Cubic ft - Gray
Super easy to mount on my Malone Microsport trailer. Will add lots of extra space for fishing/camping items. I like that you can open it from either side. My only complaint is the top seems flimsy when opening and closing. Admittedly this is my first cargo box that I have owned so they may all be like this. You have to make sure you use both hands, spread as far apart as you can when opening it. As long as you use both hands to open and close it this shouldn't be an issue. I can't wait to load it up and try it out.
quick-attach clamps are made with a galvanized screw that became corroded and locked up

Thule Sidekick Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier Box - U-Bolt Mounts - 8 Cubic Feet
I have been really happy with this roof box, I was concerned at first because it did not feel as heavy or sturdy as some I've had in the past but it's performed really well and the shape is great. Because of the shape it holds things like carry on luggage on their side, backpacks and lots of gear. A year in, still loving this purchase.
Worked great on my 2022 Prius. Had to drill holes to make clamps fit the factory roof rack.

Yakima SkyBox 18 Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black Carbonite
I replaced an old Thule box with this. My opinion is that the locking mechanism, the clamping system, and the hinges are superior to the Thule's. Especially the locking mechanism. I used to have to wrestle the Thule box to get things lined up so that I could close and lock the box. And the bonus is that this box was less money (than an equivalent Thule) and eTrailer shipped it for free!
Fit was perfect will be using it for a long time to come it heavy for one person to try and load it up on the vehicle though

Thule Vector Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box - 13 Cubic Ft - Gloss Black
It's been a year and have used the Thule Vector Alpine cargo box for ski trips and over the summer for regular trips. The box fit 4 pairs of skis with a little extra room for soft stuff. For regular trips it fit plenty of bags and allowed us to use the third row of seating in the car. The box looks great on the car and the fact that it opens up from both side is extremely helpful.
Incredible roof box! It fits everything we need it to (including 190+cm skis!) and looks great on our 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. Highly recommended! My only slight complaint is the lights tend to fall out of their holders, but they're easily put back. A more secure mount would be a welcome improvement.

Inno Wedge 660 Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 cu ft - Gloss Black
Love this roof box! It’s streamlined and not bulky at all. Installed it myself in very little time (the hardest part was lifting it onto my vehicle by myself). I highly recommend getting the low profile mounting brackets for your aero bar! It makes it look much sleeker than the clamps that come with it. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars was the box was completely destroyed during shipping. Ripped, punctured, torn, pushed sideways (it was plastic wrapped upright onto a wooden pallet but arrived at a 45 degree angle) you name it…..but somehow remarkably the roof box wasn’t damaged at all. No dents, scratches, nothing. Guess I can’t blame etrailer since they use a 3 party freight shipping company.
I ordered this box a year ago, while it was not in inventory. I was aware of this before I placed my order, and was not in a rush to receive it. The box was delivered pretty quickly (2-3 weeks I believe it was), and I received updates from etrailer on my order throughout the waiting process. The Inno Wedge looks great, being slimmer than most other cargo boxes. I can still fit plenty of things in it, which is wonderful given the size! I have nothing but good things to say about both the Inno Wedge 660 AND etrailer!

20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
It was very hard to figure out what kind of cargo carrier would be the best for my needs, until I got on your website. Your videos are very informative to help with making the decision of which cargo carrier was best. It was very easy to put together, and very strong (I put my husband in it)this is perfect for our vacation transportation.
This carrier was super easy to assemble. It is a bit heavy but I was able to mount it onto my hitch alone. I’m using an anti-rattle lock and they work great together.

Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 22 cu ft - Titan Glossy
Extremely easy to mount. Very durable. Being able to open the cargo box from either side is a game changer. Superb quality.
Bought this a year ago and have been very happy with it. Using on a QX80/Armada. Opens on either side - which is nice when securing to roof rails as it is easier to just go to other side than reach across when tightening to roof rails. Easy to secure. Recommend two people to lift on/off vehicle but otherwise can do everything myself. Has lock on both sides. We can fit 4-6 carry on suitcases plus 2-4 other bags/items. It’s “taller” than it appears, but I don’t hear extra road noise and haven’t noted any significant change in fuel efficiency. Have used 4-5 times for trips from Ohio to Florida, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina. In fact, drove 12 hours with it full yesterday.

Thule Force XT Sport Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 cu ft - Black AeroSkin
This is a great car-top carrier. It is light and easy to install and move around. The opening and locking mechanisms also work well. I drove 5 hours with it in the rain and no moisture made it inside. eTrailer was also great when ordering. The freight company lost the first one and eTrailer simply sent me a replacement. Great company to work with.
Great product from a great company I bought this rooftop box for my daughter last year when she moved from Georgia to Oregon. It held well even in ran and snow. This is my second Thule rooftop box. I wish I had bought the first one from etrailer. They have great prices and great customer service.

SportRack Horizon Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 cu ft - Black
Easy to mount and lightweight. Voluminous for the price point.
Wish it was 5 in less in length and 5in less in height with the understanding that it cuts down on cu vol. Door mechanism and lock seem a little flimsy. But otherwise good for the $. Delivery came on time and in tact.

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.

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.
Holds all my gear. Just what I was hoping for. Now my dogs have the car all to themselves. Really bummed that there are "Made in China" stickers all over it. I went with etrailer because I thought they were a USA company. I guess no one can turn down that cheap slave labor. Hopefully my gear does not end up on the highway.

Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black
I’m ultra-pleased with my Malone Profile18b cargo box! I scoured the internet researching these things. I think I looked at every large capacity model around 18 cu ft for my Nissan Armada. There’s lots of good ones out there to choose from. I almost bought a Thule Motion XT, but I decided to go with this Malone cargo box because it had the specs I was looking for at a much better price (18 cu ft for under $xx.xx!). After examining it closely, it seems to be fantastic quality, fit and finish it great, and functions perfectly. It opens and locks from both sides—and new for this year, it has an awesome new 1-click dial attach system that installs and removes easily and holds strong. Also, It’s one of the BEST LOOKING rooftop cargo boxes out there. The Italian shape and glossy black finish looks very high-end. For the money, you can’t beat this box. If you’re considering a rooftop cargo box, don’t hesitate on getting this Malone.
This is a nice box. I have not used it yet takes a little time to get everything centered and put in place. Had a plastic film over the glass finished so nothing got scratched. Just remember if you have a sunroof like I do you will not be able to use it because it cannot lift up high enough to get open.

Inno Box 2020 Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Matte Black
We have used our Inno roof box on a few long trips and I am very happy with it. I like how low profile it is and the fact you can open it from either side which makes packing it much easier. Doesn't seem to negatively effect MPG that much either.
No complaints, this cargo box has been great. We've put roughly 2k fully-loaded miles on it over the past year and it has worked as advertised. It fits a lot more gear than I expected and looks great on our Outback. Wind noise is minimal, and it also has a minimal impact on mpg. It's easy for me to install on the car by myself in a few minutes, and it's great to be able to access the interior of the box from either side. It's also pretty cool to have a sleek roof box that stands out from the sea of Thule and Yakima products out there. I'd absolutely purchase another Inno product. The folks at erailer were great to work with as well.

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.
The carrier was exactly what I was expecting. High quality, powder coated, and heavy duty. This will allow me to transport my mower, pressure washer, cooler, and anything that I do not want inside my Jeep. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Rhino-Rack Zenith MasterFit Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - High Gloss Black
Application = 2021 Subaru WRX Base. Perfectly functional, and a great look.
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.

Rhino-Rack MasterFit Rooftop Cargo Box - 15-1/2 cu ft - Textured Black
Looks great, works perfectly. Always good service and prices from etrailer! Been a customer for over 20 years.
Easy on and off. Locks easily. Key remains in key hole when unlocked. Looks great and not too big so it's easy to handle.

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.

19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs
I wanted to let you know that both the hitch and carrier arrived and I have already installed them both. They are awesome! Shipping was fast and the box arrived in great condition. The video you have on your site helped out tremendously. I didn't have the use of a lift, but had a jack and two jack stands. It was a little difficult that way, but still doable.
This cargo carrier worked great. Used it to move a rototiller, 2 hour trip. No damage or deformation to the carrier despite the tiller being near the top of the weight limit. The hitch bolt held the carrier firmly in place. It doesn't come with the lights, I installed light kit Item # 52014. Just had to drill four small holes (I knew this light kit wasn't specifically designed for this carrier, just wanted something cheap). Works great on a Town Car, lots of ground clearance. I'm very happy with this product.

Inno Shadow 16 Rooftop Cargo Box - 13 cu ft - Matte Black
Great cargo box. Arrived early, fits on my 2013 Toyota Highlander with no issues. Fits through my garage door too which is exactly what I was looking for.
We used this box for the trip to FL last year. I like the slim design so it has no problem with the wind and looks nice on the roof. Fit 2 small luggages, 2 compact strollers and some small items.

Inno Wedge 660 Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 cu ft - Gloss White
This is an excellent box. The white color looks great, and the shape of it is sleek and looks better than in the pictures IMO. I think it's really important to note, the measurement and size info on the website here is not right, at least not complete. It says max ski length is 183 cm diagonal, but the sticker on the product (attached to this review) shows that you can put 190 cm skis in front-to-back (or diagonal, but). This makes a big difference if you have a couple of 184 or 187 cm skis. I measured the box and the sticker is accurate. The interior lengths are the shortest inside dimensions, between the hinges etc, so you can fit in slightly longer items. It also feels a little lighter than the listed 42 lbs Locking mechanism seems good and easy to work, even with gloves. Installation was super easy, the memory mount is really simple to set up and use, it's just a screw and cam lever.
The INNO roof box 660 was delivered yesterday without a scratch, a relief. After unboxing it didn’t take much time to figure out the amazingly easy clamping system. So easy! After I tested out the double hinge I drove 85 miles between 70 and 70 mph and it was stable and really quiet. Which is good because the Tesla is a really quiet car and excessive wind noise would not be good. Good purchase, would highly recommend. Now time to fill it with stuff…….White box on white car works really well also. Looks custom made….
What our customers are saying:
"This is the BEST Cargo Carrier I have ever seen - from engineering to looks to capacity. It exemplifies the old addage the you get what you pay for.. You guys were a pleasure to deal with in this transaction. Your follow-up emails on status of the delivery were much appreciated - and very professional. Keep up the good work!"
