24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Product came in good condition and was well packed with no damage. The receiver hitch I bought at the same time could benefit from the type of packaging use on the cargo carrier as it was delivered with the receiver broken through the box and several chips to bare metal out of the powder coat that I touched up prior to installation. I would rate both products as excellent with no assembly or installation issues.
I ordered the product. It came. It was exactly what I wanted. It worked exactly how I wanted it to work. Customer service was excellent.

20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
Pictures of this cargo carrier on my 2011 Acura MDX
I just got back from a 2,000 mile road trip with this cargo carrier and it worked great. I also bought an anti-rattle lock instead of using the hitch pin and it held the carrier tight and stable. I didn't even notice the carrier was back there when I was on the highway. I had it hitched to my Acura MDX and it had plenty of room to open the rear door with gear already loaded on the carrier. I also used a Highland cargo bag and was able to fit 5 full duffle bags and a couple sleeping bags and still had room to put probably 1 or 2 more duffle bags. A con of the carrier is connecting the hitch pin. You have to align the holes where the hitch pin goes in exactly right or you'll never get the hitch pin in. I had to lift one side up sometimes and jiggle the carrier just to align the holes. It definitely was not a simple task like the etrailer video shows. The difficulty of connecting the hitch pin prevented me from folding the carrier up more often than I'd like to have done. Other than that, the carrier performed flawlessly.

Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte Black
Appreciated great customer service over the phone and was relieved and satisfied to find a great fit between my Thule Pulse L and Acura MDX 2014. Delivery service was top notch as well.
This box worked perfectly on my 2016 Acura MDX with the factory rails. The clamps that secure the box to the rails are adjustable. Fortunately I am tall and loading and unloading the box doesn’t pose an issue. I used the box for a camping trip and a vacation where I needed free space inside. There wasn’t a significant drop in gas mileage or issues when I traveled at 70 mph.

23x59 Stromberg Carlson Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Fairly straightforward installation and seems very strong (by just standing/jumping on it while in the hitch). I have yet to use it but don't plan on any issues just based on the materials of construction. All nylon locking washers. A few nicks in the paint from shipping which might cause rust if you use it in the rain, maybe sand/paint to cover any exposed metal.
Carrier and box will be moved to hitch on 209 Solitude Rv to provide extra cargo carrying ability

Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black Glossy
This rooftop cargo box was perfect for my needs. While large, I had no problem getting it on the roof of my MDX. It was easy to adjust to fit my crossbar spacing, and felt very secure. I was able to fit a lot in the box, freeing up needed room in the cabin. The design of the box resulted in negligible wind noise and change in mpg. Very happy with the purchase.

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!
We have not yet taken the Skybox on a road trip so I can't talk about the box itself. But I can talk about the buying experience at etrailer. 5 stars!. There was a wealth of helpful information about the various choices for cargo carriers, including dimensions and clearance requirements, and I found the installation videos extremely valuable. Great personalized follow-up after the order was placed and after arrival. The Skybox arrived on time, well packed and in great shape.

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.
Our family of 4 took two trips with this box. One was a week-long driving/camping trip from Texas to Appalachian Mountains. It has plenty of room for sleeping bags/tent/chairs/misc. We drove about 80 mph on open highway, drove through rainstorms and had no problems. I have a 2013 Toyota 4Runner and needed to buy crossbars that fit my vehicle before installing the box. I learned not to leave loose clothing in the cargo box while driving on the highway. Small clothing can get sucked out of the small sliver of an opening created along the side while driving fast. Now I put towels, dirty clothes in a duffel bag to prevent this. Remember to avoid parking garages!

Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black AeroSkin

We love our new Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Boxes and can’t wait for our next trip. Opens from both sides, well designed! Recommend you attach the straps before putting it on top of vehicle.

17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Great product. Light, versatile and hold stuff inn . Recommend for anyone needing more room for outdoor goods.
This cargo carrier has been great; we've used it for several long-distance trips with luggage in a soft-sided waterproof bag, as well as for camping trips with gear stowed in hard plastic containers. It sits just far enough out that we can open the hatch on our Acura MDX without removing the cargo if it's shorter than about 16". My seven-year-old helped me assemble it, so it wasn't hard to put together.

23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 450 lbs
The M2205 Cargo Carrier is a well built product and I plan to use it to free-up space inside our 2014 Acura MDX on vacations and long trips for the family and pets. I also bought a bungie net and carabineers to secure oversized cargo. It was easy to build and install. Tightening the A2 nut and bolt requires some effort but that was the toughest part (by no means was it hard). After I installed it I tested the MDX rear hatchback and their is plenty of clearance. Shipping was fast. The only comment about shipping was the box was damaged, but the Cargo Carrier was not. I just used it for a trip between Tampa and New Orleans and it worked perfectly. I highly recommend this hitch carrier!
packing box arrived damaged. content slightly damaged, contacted etrailers and no joke,received reply within minutes. settled for a reduced price, (my choice] great product and exceptional customer service. would recommend this provider and product anytime!

Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Black
Finding a roof top box that fits a particular vehicle can be challenging; especially when you're trying to avoid the tailgate hitting the box while maximizing space! I was very happy with etrailer and their ability to help me through the sizing process to ensure a perfect fit on my wife's 2019 Acura MDX. The customer service was superior to most businesses I deal with these days and I will not hesitate to purchase from etrailer in the future.
We really find this cargo box extremely useful. It is easy to put on the car. (2014 Acura MDX with standard factory roof rails) It holds lots of stuff and has made camping trips and road trips.

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.
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. :-)
