24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Excellent quality
Desperately needed a cargo carrier for camping in my F-150 Super Crew, and did a ton of internet research before buying. I have to say first off that this is one of the biggest carriers available, both in width @ 60" (foremost) and depth, and total weight capacity is excellent at 500 LB's. When you begin looking, what you'll notice right away is that carriers with brand names, and in smaller form factors are between $300 to $700! While I don't claim to be an expert on cargo carriers, I'm sorry but I don't want to spend that much money on something that you stack ice chests and cargo boxes on. I want to spend $$ on camping equipment that I have to have for my trips..... Further to this, I would say that the quality of construction on this carrier is excellent. The welds are very good, and the gauge of steel used (frame) and quality of the powder coat finish are perfect. They also can supply (option)a regular (bulbs) or led tail light kit (more expensive) for the carrier which in my opinion is a must. The tail light kit is superb and fits the oval openings perfectly with the supplied rubber inserts. The wiring harness supplied fits the lights well, however, as noted in other internet reviews is not of adequate length to reach some harnesses. My truck is already outfitted with a tow package, so all I had to do was hit the auto parts store and purchase an 48" extension. No big deal, and only costs around $5. Assembly was very easy. The Carrier comes in two halves, and the unit is joined at the center (floor level) by a very robust 2" receiver bar that has a height offset to keep the carrier higher off the ground. Three large bolts go through the carrier halves and through the bar using locking nuts, and then four smaller bolts, both leading edge and trailing edge (center) connect the top half of the carrier. While the smaller bolts come with washers, the big bolts on the bottom do not. I would strongly recommend that you purchase some large washers for the bottom bolts as well. Again, not a big expense, and they will help with wear and tear on the bar and frame. Weight of the assembled unit is significant, so plan on having someone there to help you put it in the hitch. Why pull your back out trying to do it solo. :) I'd guesstimate that the carrier weighs about 60+ LB's. One other item to note is that the height of your cargo in the carrier may cover your license plate on the rear of the vehicle, so it would be a good idea to mount a license plate frame on the carrier so that you can move your plate to the carrier instead, that way it will be visible. They also make a cargo bag for this carrier, which looked good, ballistic nylon I believe. I didn't need it because I won't be putting anything on the carrier that can't get wet in a storm, etc. In summary, for the money, I don't feel you can beat this carrier. BTW - Your unit will likely arrive with the outer cardboard totally destroyed, as they don't use very robust exterior packaging, however, your internals should be fine as they are zip tied to the carrier frame, and the corners of the carrier are protected by very thick foam. Mine arrived with the outer cardboard trashed, but the carrier and parts inside were just fine. First trip with the carrier will be in a couple weeks, so once I have road tested it I will update the review.

20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
Just got back from 8 days of traveling, using this product. I really liked that it gave you room to be able to open hatch with no problems of clearance issues, while loaded.
ALL LOOKS GOOD

17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
I am using this on a 2012 Toyota Prius. I have it paired with a Curt 1 1/4 inch hitch C11276. Overall, this is a fair addition for this vehicle. It carries a good amount of weight, and is sturdy and well made. The only drawback is how low to the ground it sits when used with the Prius. There is very little clearance between the bottom of the carrier and the ground when loaded. I need to be very careful when going from a flat onto an incline, or over speed bumps. I have had scraping several times, even when going slowly and carefully. I will be replacing this carrier with a raised shank model in the near future to alleviate this situation. If you're considering this carrier for a Gen III Prius, I would suggest you look at the model with the raised shank (C18100 - https://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Cargo-Carrier/Curt/C18110.html) you'll get an extra few inches under the rear edge of the carrier, and it will make you happy!
Looks like a good cargo carrier. Put it together last night. A few small issues: (1) picture on outside of box shows bolts...nut on bottom vs top) different from instructions (2) cannot assemble per instructions...not hard to figure out, but following instruction steps will not work (3) web site says max distance from center of hitch pin hole to closest edge of carrier is 6 inches; it is actually 5 1/2 and I needed to flex carrier frame a bit to make it work (4) with paint on the hitch, would not go into the 1 1/4 van hitch; had to take paint off. Details...but room for some small improvements to make customer life easier.

The product "looks" good but make sure you read ALL the details; the critical piece of information I found AFTER delivery, assembly, and unsuccessful attempt to mount on my 2006 Liberty is the minimum clearance from pin hole to front edge of basket - this info is located on the second or third page after drilling on more information; don't trust what the pictures show you - a vehicle with spare on the back could be for a different carrier. One of the web page features is to enter your specific vehicle - don't trust that to give you the correct products that will fit your vehicle. So the additional fees and charges to return make the fantastic savings disappear.

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs
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.
The reason I bought this basket is due to gas prices. I have a 4X4 suburban I use for camping and hunting but it takes a small loan to fill up the tank. Actually this basket cost less than it does to fill it up. So my thought was if i can get all my gear on my daily driver then i could save some money and maybe even sale the burb. So i gave it a shot last weekend. The rack was easy to put together. I had it out of the box and on the roof in under 30 minutes. As you can see in the pic, i have a rather large ice chest, chain saw, 6 man tent, gas stove and my chair on the roof. My camping destination was about 3 hours away. First was a hour of highway driving at speeds around 70. No issues there. Then 2 hours of windy back roads. No issues there either. The basket made it possible for me and my two kids to load up in the car and head to the hills for three days. The plus for me was it only takes 50$ to fill up the car. :-) I had the max weight in this basket with no issues. I'm very happy with this basket.

19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Aluminum - Folding - 500 lbs
Cargo carrier arrived promptly, and with great customer service support via email. Not hard to put together, but the instructions could have been clearer. Surprisingly light, but seems sturdy enough, however, it hasn't been used yet. I was concerned that there wouldn't be enough clearance between the vehicle and the edge when folded, but this doesn't seem to be an issue. I bought some reflective tape for the corners to enhance safety. An overall sound investment that I expect to get many years of use from.
I would give this product 5 stars but I just put it together and haven't used it yet. However assembly was a breeze. It took just 35 minutes to assemble. The fit in the receiver was good and when in the folded position there is plenty of clearance. The only thing I did was add 4 reflectors for visibility amber on the sides and red on the back edge. I mainly bought this for hauling 5 gallon fuel cans and hauling harvested deer.

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.
Terrible build quality , crooked label, lock /latch does not work unless I remove backplate, after a couple times of opening and closing rivet came off latch. For $[XX] would think bettet quality. Seems like Harbor Freight

Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 47" Long x 35" Wide - 165 lbs
Greetings, I am giving these items 3? Because I was offered alternative products that did not fit together. Originally, I intended to purchase a roof rack cargo basket type and a spare tire holder from Yakima manufacturer that go well together, but one of them wasn’t in stock. So, after 3 weeks waiting time, I was offered alternative items via etrailer website, and I accepted them…after all, they are the experts. I got the recommended items through UPS, then I assembled them by myself. The roof rack cargo basket fit well on my car, but the spare tire holder was not compatible with the roof rack cargo basket. They couldn’t be assembled together. I submitted my claim to return the spare tire holder. Now, I have not achieved my goal to carry my spare tire. Understanding the needs and expectations of your customers is critical to maximize customer satisfaction. I am sure both products are good, but they are not compatible together, even though they were manufactured by the same company. Distributors should know better! I returned one item and I hope to be refunded.
Great product. Easily puts together and I was able to install on our 2016 Toyota Highlander OEM roof rails with no problems. The mounting brackets slide to make for a easy fit. Have taken it on two long road trips with zero issues last summer one to the montains and one to the beach. Was able to fit our jogging stroller on in the basket. Had some heavy rain on one trip and seen no signs of water getting into the rails as that was a concern of mine when researching the different racks. The high sides allowed for easy tie downs for the weather bag we put the stroller in. Seemed to add a little road noise with nothing in it but that is to be expected when hauling things on the roof but the wind deflector seemed to keep the noise down. Easy to put on and off with a single person able to lift it. Great product, great fit for the car. Plan on using it for some more upcoming trips.

Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 57" Long x 42" Wide - 165 lbs
Great product. Great quality. Instructions not real clear, so took me a couple of hours to assemble. Then another 15-20 minutes to secure to roof racks. I was working alone, extra hands would have helped. But extremely happy with quality and looks of product. We have lots of family that visit us, so I plan to carry luggage on the rack to free up space inside the vehicle on trips to and from the airport.
Love it! It's big enough to fit a bike carrier and a cargo bag on top of my MINI. Easy to assemble and install, solid construction. Great value for your money. If I have a gripe it's that the wind fairing on the front is VERY thin/fragile. I caught it with my bike tire when loading one day and the corner snapped right off like nothing. It's only about $XXX for the replacement.

Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte Black
This was purchased off of the etrailer.com website as a "damaged" item at a significantly reduced price. The description on the website described the damage very well and the cargo box has no functional issues of any kind. Also, the cargo box arrived much earlier than I anticipated. Furthermore, when I noticed that the box arrived with the load securing straps missing I emailed etrailer customer support and they had Thule send me two new ones right away. Couldn't be more pleased with etrailer and this cargo box. It fits my 2014 Honda CRV with factory crossbars with just a little bit of rear hatch interference (restricts opening by maybe an inch or two, but can still fully use the rear hatch). Can't speak to durability quite yet as I've only used the cargo box a few times to transport skis and snowboard and plan to use it year-round for road trips. A really great, simple cargo box!
This was a much needed addition for a drive back to Tucson, AZ from a three month stay in Portland. ME, as we had acquired some extra things and needed more space than our 2015 Honda CRV provided. This fit on top of the rhino vortex aero roof rack I also purchased from e-trailer perfectly. The cargo box functioned as expected, and although we ultimately could have used a slightly larger cargo box, this one worked great for giving us extra space in our car for the drive home. It was easy to mount and opened easily, although it was a bit tricky to load, a step ladder would have helped. It was tough to close, we had to move some stuff around to get it to latch, but I appreciated that it would not lock unless the latches could fully engage, which made me feel like it was going to remain closed while traveling. We wasted no time putting stickers on it, and added more along the drive home, which was fun. We traveled through many different types of weather, it was late spring and was rainy in the beginning of our trip, and very hot towards the end of our trip, and the contents were in perfect condition when we arrived home. There was zero water damage inside, and nothing was damaged from being in the heat. Of course there was some reduced gas mileage and added road noise when traveling, but nothing too unbearable. Also, service and shipping from etrailer was excellent.

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

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.

23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 4" Rise - Folding - 450 lbs
Iam rating it as such because I have only tested it without any cargo on a 30 min drive.It was ok considering the help of the anti-rattle and anti-tilt that I also used.The real test really will be putting some cargo in it.I noticed that there was a lock nut or washer missing at the base which made one of the bolts loose;likewise there was only place to put a lock( do not know why the locks came in pairs?)Overall,I think this will work for me.As for the anti-tilt that I purchased, I noticed that the 2 bolts on the side really are only barely touching the bar,I think the holes were not properly placed ,so when you tighten them, they will only tighten the edge of the bar.The shipping was super fast! It felt like it just came a few miles from my house,however I noticed that the packaging was messed up and torn so it was just taped up;it really looked like it was an old stock from the warehouse. The customer service was awesome and will probably order from this site again.Thanks!
After purchasing a 2018 Honda CR-V Touring, my honey-to-do-task of having to bring trash to the dump every week must be done. I am not a big fan of placing trash inside my new car, despite having a rubber liner. So I purchased the Curt 2 inch receiver hitch and had it installed by my local mechanic. I did not want to have to hook up my small utility trailer to go to the dump since I have to go to work and park in a parking garage after making my trash drop off. I came across this Carpod M2205 walled carrier. I am thrilled with this and like the way it folds up when not in use. There was a simple assembly process to go through after it was received (quick shipping by the way). It is a little heavy placing into the hitch receiver, but note it is easier to place it into the hitch when folded up. I wrapped a piece of duct tape around the exact place of the insertion bar to line up the holes of the hitch pin. Its carrying capacity is well within what I need, and I am quite impressed. There is not much movement of the carrier while driving except for big bumps or potholes. This is an excellent alternative to carrying household garbage inside my new car. The walls are held in place with metal pins and a strap, that is a little short and could be a little bit longer. That would be my only complaint about using this car carrier. Otherwise, I highly recommend this for anyone who needs to carry items outside or to need more space.
Carpod Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2012 Ford Edge
Today on our 2012 Ford Edge we are testing the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier. The dimensions for the carrier are 23x47 with a weight capacity of 450lbs. Part number for that is M2205. As you can see we do already have all walls up and we're just going to show you how we take the walls down and put it in the store position and also the folding feature. First to take the walls down, we're just going to pull these pins - there is one at each corner, we're just going to pull them out. We're first going to lay down our smaller sides here. You may have to wiggle the larger sides around a little bit just to squeeze the smaller sides in.
Stromberg Carlson Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2012 Ford Edge
Today on our 2012 Ford Edge, we're test fitting the Strong Bird Carlson 23 by 60 cargo carrier. This offers a weight capacity of 500 pounds. They designed it for use with 2 inch hitches. The part number on it is CC-100. As you can see, we've got a stamped out style expanded steel floor, so that's going to give us plenty of room for dirt, debris, and stuff like that to fall down through, but still offers a fairly smooth surface if we're putting more delicate items on it. Overall, this carrier is going to add about 26 inches to the back of our Edge.
Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2012 Ford Edge
Today on our 2012 Ford Edge, we're test fitting the Curt 20 by 60 Folding Cargo Carrier. They've designed this for use with with up to 500 pounds and it works great. Pretty much specifically designed for use in 2-inch hitches. Part number on it is C18151. As you can see we're going to have an expanded steel floor here on the bottom. Plenty of area for that dirt and stuff to fall out, but still gives us a nice smooth surface. It doesn't have those cutting edges you get out of the typical expanded steel.
Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2012 Ford Edge
Today on our 2012 Ford Edge, we're test fitting the 20 X 60 Curt Cargo Carrier. They designed this for use with 2 inch hitches. It offers a 500 pound capacity. Part number on it is C18150. Now you can see, we're going to have a little bit of movement and a little bit of play with this carrier, just like any other carrier that you're securing with just a pin and clip. You're going to have that.
Lets Go Aero Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2012 Ford Edge
Today on our 2012 Ford Edge, we are test fitting the Let Go Aero GearCage, part number HCR222. This cargo carrier has the dimensions of 48 x 32, with a capacity to hold up to 300 pounds. As you can see, this has a nice solid floor here which is going to keep any dirt and debris from flying up onto your material that you have in the carrier. This also means that if do carry anything that has dirt on it, it's not going to fall off on the side. First we are going to take some measurements here. If you come right up under here, you are going to see this bottom post. At the back of the hitch, it's going to be about 10 inches here to the ground.
Curt 24x60 Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2012 Ford Edge
Today on our 2012 Ford Edge we're test fitting the Curt 24 by 60 folding cargo carrier. Part number C18153. This cargo carrier has a capacity to hold up to 500 pounds, just be aware of that, and also be aware that you have to check your owners manual to make sure your vehicle can carry that itself. The first thing we're going to going to do, is we're going to take some measurements on this carrier. We're going to do ground clearance first, it's going to be about 14 inches there. That is because of the raised shank up here.
Detail K2 20x60 Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2012 Ford Edge
Today on our 2012 Ford Edge, we're test fitting the Detail K2 20x60 folding cargo carrier. Now this has a capacity of up to 500 pounds and it's designed to work with 2 inch hitches. Part number on it is K2HCC602. You see we've got a nice, raised edge that's going to go all the way around our carrier here. It's about 5 1/2 inches off our platform, so it gives us good side to side and front to back stability. We're also going to have good connection points all the way around for any straps that we might want to put on. The platform itself is a stamped out style of expanded steel. We don't have the rough edges as we move our hand across it, but we still get plenty of areas for dirt and debris and stuff like that to fall right out.
UWS Aluminum Cargo Carrier Review - 2012 Ford Edge
Today on our 2012 Ford Edge, we'll be test fitting the 23x51 Aluminum Cargo Carrier for 2-inch hitches by UWS. This is part number UWS03511. Now, all we'll need to do to fit this cargo carrier to this vehicle is simply slide the cargo carrier shank into the hitch, line up the hitch pin hole, and install the hitch pin. With the pin in, we'll go ahead and install the safety clip on the other side. And that will do it, our cargo carrier is secured to the vehicle. Now, we'll go ahead and give you a few measurements.
Surco Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2012 Ford Edge
Today on our 2012 Ford Edge, we'll be test fitting the 24x60 Cargo Carrier for 2-inch Hitches from Surco, part number 52018. Now to start our test fit, all we'll need to do is slide the cargo carrier shank into the hitch, line up the hitch pin hole, and install the hitch pin.
