Best 2018 GMC Acadia Cargo Carriers

Well made and arrived without damage. Put it together in 15 minutes. Using it for a massimo minibike carrier for ice fishing. Dimensions are accurate and worked perfectly.

Excellent shipping and delivery time after purchase. Was quite simple and easy to assemble right out of the box. The drivers-side lighting assembly wire harness was shorter than expected. The hardware that attaches the tow bar to the platform didn't come with washers either but should, so I installed some of my own. Luckily I had my own hitch bolt and pin. When installed the platform leans slightly to the left but overall a GREAT BUY FOR THE PRICE.

I needed extra cargo hauling capacity and was considering a roof top carrier. After some research (finding out I couldn't park the vehicle in my garage because of the height with the carrier mounted on top of the vehicle) I recently purchased a 24" X 60" Curt folding cargo carrier for my 2014 GMC Acadia. It pleasantly arrived before promised. It is of highest quality. It easily attaches to the vehicle with a little effort. (weighs around 70 lbs.) It is very solid and looks good on the vehicle. One feature I really like is when not in use the carrier will fold 90 degree's to the back of the vehicle which allows easy parking and will fit in my garage. The other feature is ease of loading cargo onto the carrier. It is bumper height and not on top of the vehicle. I am 6'-3" tall and would still have issues reaching the carrier on top of the vehicle. I frequently am going to the home improvement store and nursery for garden items. Now, instead of having to worry about getting the cargo area in back of the vehicle dirty, I can load it onto the fold down carrier. I did just recently use it as a cargo extender. I purchased some 12 foot 2x4's. Usually I could get an 8 foot 2X4 in the truck with a little overhang. the 12' fit nicely from the back of the truck onto the top of the carrier on securely tied down to the top of the carrier. This was an accidental discovery and one more use for the carrier. We often go to the mountains which is 20 minutes from our home to cook dinner or breakfast. It will be very nice to put fire wood, coolers and chairs and still retain the third row seating in the vehicle. Overall all this is a high quality, very well priced option for increasing the cargo capacity of your vehicle. It was 1/5th the cost of a roof top carrier, ( Yakima of Thule) easy to load, and you have unlimited height for cargo verses a roof top carrier. Also depending on the height of what you are putting on the carrier you can open the lift gate on the vehicle.

It rained almost our entire trip and the weather proof bag was a life safer!!! We almost went with the weather resistant bag but decided on the weather proof bag at the last minute and were thankful we did. We have an Acadia and purchased the deeper 24" rack. Even though it is heavier and the recommended custom fit bag is taller it paid off for our camping trip. It held a large AND small cooler plus 6 lawn chairs, an extra large tent bag, a folding table, a cooking rack, pans, bedding, 4 air mattresses and other misc bags. We were extremely pleased because it kept everything contained and DRY! The rack and bag are both extremely durable and we will use this every time we take a long trip to save leg room inside the vehicle. We have used a roof rack in the past and items are much easier to access on the back rack when making pit stops along the way. Can't wait to use it for our next "regular" long distance trip to store luggage and souvenirs instead of camping supplies.

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.

This cargo carrier is mounted to my 2016 GMC Acadia Denali. It has performed wonderfully. The tongue gives the carrier a slight rise so it does not bottom out when transitioning to a steep incline. The rear tailgate door clears the carrier (when empty or low cargo load). It has carried bags and bags of lawn and garden products up to it's rated limit with no problem. I routinely keep it attached during the summer to load beach chairs, tents & toys. All the sand falls through the wire bottom and keeps my vehicle very clean. When removed, it easily stands up against the garage wall.

Great product!

It takes up most of my Subaru Imprezas roof. It will definitely hold everything we need it to. Communication from etrailer and shipping co were great. Installing the cargo box was super easy.

arrived on time. assembled the cage looks and fits good will take pictures next week

The Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier arrived quickly and functioned as advertised. Just what I needed for a week-long cross-country roadtrip. However, after driving through rain on a few different days, the carrier began to rust and is now rusted in multiple locations around the carrier.

Well made and arrived without damage. Put it together in 15 minutes. Using it for a massimo minibike carrier for ice fishing. Dimensions are accurate and worked perfectly.

Excellent shipping and delivery time after purchase. Was quite simple and easy to assemble right out of the box. The drivers-side lighting assembly wire harness was shorter than expected.

When installed the platform leans slightly to the left but overall a GREAT BUY FOR THE PRICE.

Approximately a year ago I ordered a receiver and luggage rack for my GMC Acadia. We have used them on two trips, and they have worked great. Installation wasn't difficult. I would highly recommend this product.

Carrier and box will be moved to hitch on 209 Solitude Rv to provide extra cargo carrying ability

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.

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.

Product iss great! Used this carrier in combination with the etrailer cargo bag (Item #988501) on our 13 hour trip from IL to beaches of SC and never heard or felt it. I didn't realize that this carrier hitch has a threaded hitch pin for anti-rattle, so I didn't have to use my standard hitch anti-rattle device. The assembly and installation were pretty easy and the included hitch collar made subsequent attachments to my hitch a breeze. While the included wrenches we ok, I would recommend using a socket wrench as it is much more suited for the job. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that my 2014 GMC Acadia hatch had just enough clearance to open without using the tilt feature. BTW, the tilt feature on a loaded carrier definitely requires more than one person. Only con I can think of is that the pins for the folding feature do not slide in very easily, maybe because the holes don't line up perfectly. It definitely takes some twisting of the pins at the same time as fiddling withe the angle of the carrier to get the pin thru. It is do-able, but takes some "practice" for sure. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE NOTE: After our trip I was looking for a locking hitchpin (item #e99047) and noticed that the price of the carrier was about $30 less than when I originally purchased a month earlier. etrailer does have a competitor price match guarantee policy, but nothing specific to etrailer branded products. I asked them about this and they immediately refunded the price difference. Regardless of if the had done this, I still would have purchased the locking hitchpin, but this proves their excellence in customer service.

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.

Fits great on a 2022 MDX. Great to pair with the Thule ceiling mount. Easy enough for kid to lower!

Very fast shipping, I like that.now about this rack,very well built and easy to put together.ramp is ok but not good enough for me,to steep,took to a welder shop and had another 2ft added,now it's 6ft long and folds up the same way,now it works great.this rack sits about 4ft from the truck so I'm putting lights on this and new stickers,the ones that are on suck,they fell off.now the receiver of the rack,can be turned to make the rack lower but to me it's to low and will drag in dips so I have it up high,its about 2ft now and can't drag that why I added to the ramp,make it work for you.now this rack does wobble some so buy a hitch stabilizer for 20 bucks that stops that problem. This is still better than dragging around a trailer and still I can park in a parking lot so it works for me

cargo carriers work great! we use them for hauling mowers for our landscaping business so they get daily abuse and hold up very well
