Best 2014 Jeep Wrangler Cargo Carriers

The product was easy to put together and fits my vehicle perfectly. Dealing with etrailer was easy and everyone there was very helpful. I will be using to bring items to the dump that I do not want in my vehicle.

Assembly straight forward. Maybe 15 min. total. Good quality. Appears to be strong and rigid. Will get my first use in 1 week but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't perform very well

Great for my camping gear that I can't get into the back of my Jeep Wrangler.

I was looking for a basket style hitch carrier that was not too big. Most carriers I saw were 60 inches long. This one is 48 inches and was just what I was looking for. I like everything about this carrier: the looks, style, size and weight. I will be using it to carry beach equipment during our summer vacations to the Outer Banks, NC. The assembly instruction page leaves alot to be desired as there is one picture trying to explain how to completely assemble the carrier. You can figure it out, but will take some time and multiple looks at the one diagram. It took me about 1.5 hours to assemble. Some other facts for those of you looking for a hitch carrier to use on a Jeep Wrangler. I have a 2013 Wrangler Unlimited with the factory installed trailer towing package & 2 inch receiver. You have to use a hitch extender with this particular carrier in order to clear the rear mounted spare tire. The JK Wranglers need approx. 12 inches out from the center of the hitch pin hole. Also, you will not be able to fully open the tailgate as the tire will hit the carrier. If you went with a flat carrier (not the basket style of this Curt one), you most likely would be able to open the tailgate and clear a flat carrier. Troop, the customer service rep who assisted me with my order was fantastic.

This carrier looks well made, was easy to assemble, and all holes lined up when placing it in the up or down position. I fits well on the back of my 2014 Jeep Wrangler. I will use this carrier to add extra carrying capacity for camping, trips to the hardware store, and picking family up from the airport. I added a light bar/turn signal to the bottom of the carrier, when it is flipped up it covers the tail lights. I gave it four stars since I felt that the manufacture should have cleaned up the welded areas better before painting.

Folding option is great. Weight allowance appears legit.

Just put it together and attached the maxxhaul bag to show the wife. After reading the reviews I chose this set up for our cross country move because it won't block my Wrangler tail lights. Seems like a great addition so far. Will update once it's tested

Ordered Friday and received on Monday (Free shipping). Easy to assemble, all parts were there but fastener bag ripped open. Had to add a shim on the center tube so it sat level behind the vehicle. But I am very happy with it. Looks great behind my Jeep Wrangler JL. Light enough for one person to install. I recommend it!

Seems to be a great product and well made. I bought the foldable model as I drive a Jeep Wrangler 4dr. The spare is mounted on the rear tailgate as are all Jeep Wranglers. My only beef is that this model will NOT fold up with a standard Jeep hitch. IT touches the spare tire about a half inch too soon. I asked specificaly about this issue before buying and the lady that helped me gave me the dimensions. I measured it with her on the phone and told her I thought it would not fit with the measurements she gave. I was correct, it will not fold into a locked position. So I can only redrill the insert shaft , the hitch itself, buy a shaft extension or not fold it. The unit is heavy duty and seems well made. However there seems to be alot of play between the shaft insert and the hitch receptacle which will probably make alot of noise on rough roads. overall I am sure it is a good product but e.trailer needs to do some remeasuring.

Awesome cargo rack. Went together easy and built super strong! Love eTrailer.com!

I received the package in a pretty rough exterior condition but everything was fine inside. The previous comments about having to cut away the expanded metal flooring in order to install the carriage bolts wasn't true in my case. Apparently, this quality control issue has been addressed by the manufacturer. Assembly went well and wasn't complicated. A different carriage bolt with a longer square shoulder should be used. The shoulder doesn't grip too well to the square cutout in the frame and even while pressing firmly on the head of the bolt, it wanted to turn as I was tightening the nut. All in all, it seems to be a solid product and I look forward to using it.

I wish the load capacity was a bit higher, but overall I am satisfied with the cargo carrier. It is perfect for lugging my two dog crates behind my vehicle instead of inside the vehicle. Thank you for offering a dimensionally larger cargo carrier than most retailers.

I just installed this basket with the extender. I am totally pleased with it's quality and easy of assembly. I did ask etrailer about the fit for a 93 Wrangler with a Smittybilt rack (pics included). I was told that the rack without the extender would not fit so I ordered the package. They were correct, it had to have the extender but not for the reason they told me. the spacing between the rails for the rack were OK but the middle rail on the rack placed the brackets for the basket directly over the cloth top frame and they rubbed, which would have worn the top. I am glad I ordered the extender. One thing: I tried to order the light bracket kit but it was OOS so they told me they would not send anything until those were in. I needed the basket now and did not want to wait for the entire order(and pay interest on my credit card). I cancelled the order and then did reorder just the basket and extender later. Now I will have to pay shipping on the light brackets. In all-I love that basket-it looks great, the fit and finish is perfect and it's strong beyond expectations.

Well done Yakima and etrailer. Great product and great service. The product is well made (in Taiwan....not China) and the parts and instruction video made it relatively" easy to install. Two people helps to install it more readily. The wind diffuser in the front greatly reduces wind noise. All in all very happy and glad I bought through etrailer. Service was excellent and delivery prompt.

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.

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.

Good sturdy product with the drop down featuer I needed for my Jeep Wrangler. Only drawback is the installation of the pin that holds it in the hitch reciever. Rather than slide a pin in, you have to thread in what's basically a bolt. The paint on the rack makes this kind of tough the first couple of times to the point that you need a ratchet. And you have to make sure that it goes in the right side. But all in all, a very nice product and a great price.

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.

We used this luggage rack for a 2 week road trip in my 2015 Jeep Wrangler. It worked great! Carried all our luggage and gear, didn’t obstruct the tail lights and was super easy to put on and take off. I was completely pleased with the rack and would recommend it.

Sturdy. Well constructed. Fits my lifted jeep wrangler even with larger rear spare.

used multiple times to haul my 6hp outboard together with boat accessories for my portabote. No sway issues, no quality issues, works as expected which is excellent. Easy setup. On a heavy side as expected, but no issues setting up alone I am using this on jeep wrangler 2017 unlimited, not modified. For my application it works well with known in advance limitations: 1. due to spare tire i cannot open the gate 2. for the same reason cannot fold carrier

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.

Perfect sized box for carry sized luggage and softball game day gear. Proven space saver. Receiver is showing signs of rust otherwise would be a ten. Would buy again.

The cargo carrier generally performed as intended, but it took a lot of tinkering and a warranty replacement of the lid to complete things to our satisfaction. On delivery we found that both two aluminum side stiffeners had been bent during shipment, and were replaced fairly quickly. We then found excessive play in the fit with the receiver, and it was impossible to accommodate a "noise reduction clamp" properly at the hitch, so I used part of a bent aluminum stiffener to apply pressure across the connection between the receiver and the hitch. And lastly, the lid section was warped by over 1", which still kept rain out, but did not keep fine dust out, and it was very unsightly. After a bit of discussion, a replacement lid was provided at no cost, which I have not yet had the chance to inspect as it was delivered to our Arizona home over the summer, and we spend the summer in Canada.
