Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 64-1/2" Long x 39" Wide x 7-1/4" Tall - 150 lbs
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.

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs
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.

Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 57" Long x 42" Wide - 165 lbs
So far so good - haven't loaded it up yet but seems like it will be perfect for hauling all my gear to the beach and beyond. Install was straightforward and I didn't notice any wind noise or vibration on my commute in. I had gone back and forth on a number of different lengths and models (including the KUAT) because I wanted a rack that didn't look too squatty or disproportionate on my Pathfinder. I think this wound up being the perfect size.
It's a great rack once it is put together. The 3 stars is because the instruction booklet is TERRIBLE. In addition to there not being specific references to parts listed in the front, the pictures are incredibly small and not helpful at all. I watched the video about the rack and my specific SUV, the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder, and OEM parts prior to purchasing. They must have made some slight adjustments prior to filming it, because I definitely had to do a few things to make the clamps work on my crossbars. Again,these are OEM and the video had the same ones.The project took much longer than it should have because of all the reasons listed above.
What our customers are saying:
"I received my cargo carrier today. I ordered the 52018 and I just put it together and put it on my 1996 Land Rover Discovery. I must say, the fit and finish is AWESOME! I slid it into the trailer hitch receiver and then stood on the center beam and the carrier acted as if I weren't there. I can now take my family of five to Florida in our new Land Rover and carry all of our luggage and SCUBA gear. Thanks for the great product at a great price and with great service."
