24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Solid carrier with plenty of room! Wow, I put this carrier to the test on a 1,600 mile road trip with our 2007 Toyota Highlander and was not disappointed. Plenty of room to store luggage for a family of four plus a load of Christmas presents. We kept everything secure and dry with the etrailer.com 20-cubic foot cargo bag and kept side movement to practically nil with the anti-rattle hitch pin. All around, the whole set up was rock solid and looked great! I highly recommend the light kit as well. With the cargo bag fully maxed out, the Highlander's taillights were blocked. And since we do a fair amount of driving at night I also added some reflective tape all around the top bar to give not only the sides some visibility, but also the back to get the attention of those not-so-attentive drivers behind me. Lastly, the kit was easy to put together; it came with spacers but I did not need them to obtain a flush assembly; the separation problem some have reported during assembly was avoided by torquing down the bolts around the nameplates before the main bar bolts, just as others have reported to have worked for them.
Easy to assemble. Easy to install. Holds a lot on back of 2014 Highlander.

20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
Carrier was easy to assemble and it looks like it will work very well on my Highlander. I am not an engineer, so there may be a reason why the unit can't be slipped into the hitch receiver further, thus not sticking out quite so far. It will slip in but the locking hole only aligns at one spot. I think it will serve my purposes very well and I am happy with it.

24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Excellent Cargo Basket. Well made. Took 20 minutes to put together ( 11 bolts ). 24 X 60 is a good size ...Love the curt products ....But wish they made it 24.5 or 25 x 60. After trying to organize my gear for a trip.... I would go with a 25 X 60 product ... lots of mid-sized coolers and totes are 24 inches like the Yetti 45 .. so it will not fit if set in front to back, has to go side to side and takes up a lot more space (more wasted space) Craftsman makes so nice totes that are made for tying down, can add a lock and stack if needed.
Hello! Quick service. Less than two days! It will give more room in my 2013 Highlander. Thanks again! G Leake

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.
Excellent rack...easy to assemble and mount. High quality. Looks good. Love that

Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte Black
I was happy with my order and the communication with etrailer. The packaging was excellent and delivery was excellent. The Thule Pulse rooftop cargo box is a good fit for our 2019 Toyota Highlander.
Exactly as advertised. Installation is super quick and easy if you already have luggage racks on your vehicle. The thule mounting system is excellent, simply twist to tighten. 2018 Toyota highlander XLE.

Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 47" Long x 35" Wide - 165 lbs
Another awesome product and smooth purchase from etrailer! Rhino Rack arrived on time for my short notice road trip and was easy to install.
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.

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs
Arrived very quickly . Took about an hour to put together and install on my 2004 Toyota Highlander and it looks great !!!! Very solid and doesn’t rattle at all!!
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.

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 64-1/2" Long x 39" Wide x 7-1/4" Tall - 150 lbs
The basket and extension arrived in 2days! Perfect. But when trying to assemble, found one of the posts that slide together was bent. Looks like it was manufactured badly, even powder coated that way. I called etrailer immediately to get a replacement shipped in time for our trip. I was informed that replacement shipments were running up to a week behind?!? They have my money, and I have to wait another week when the first order only took two days? Bad manufacturing and bad customer service response. I expected more from etrailer! This is my first bad experience but it’s leaving us high and dry for our trip.
Simple to put together and install onto our roof rack (we own a Toyota Highlander). We loaded the roof rack fully (even more than we would have thought possible) and drove 1,300 miles (at the speed limit) and had no issues. It was easy to attach any type of strap, as the frame is sturdy.

Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box - 21 cu ft - Black Carbonite
First, I'd like to commend etrailer.com for the efficient, damage-free shipping mode they wisely selected. The carrier contacted me to complete the delivery, and the shipment tracking was very helpful. Second, the sturdy and well-designed Yakima Skybox was easy to install, out of the box to the ATV roof racks, with easy-to-understand instructions resulting in a perfect installation.

Company was great. Looked for one of these for a while. Couldn’t believe the free shipping. This was extremely easy to install on a 17’ Highlander.

Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black AeroSkin
Love my new Thule. This will be great for my upcoming trip.
etrailer customer service was excellent from the start. I decided to order by phone. Since I had a few questions. Kate was extremely helpful and even provided her extension for any questions. I received my roof top carrier via freight not only on time but Early! 3 days early. Excellent pricing and free shipping was a bonus. I was very fortunate in regard to this roof top carrier. Etrailer not only had the item-but also an online video review of my exact make and model of Highlander with this carrier. Bonus.

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.

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.

17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
This is a great product not to big and not to small. Seem to be very sturdy and strong, and it was very easy to put together. It doesn't stick out to far from the car either which is what I was hoping for. I also bought the same brand hitch to attach this to our 2015 highlander.
The order comes very fast,and easy to set up.look very good strong and good on my car .i hope to deal with you I the future again .Thanks.

Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 44" Long x 40" Wide - 165 lbs
The Yakima OffGrid medium rack arrived yesterday at about 10:30 a.m. It was fully unpacked/assembled/installed by about 11:45. etrailer did a fine job of communicating/pricing/delivering and supporting this good product. I've been using Yakima products (and others) for biking, paddling, fishing etc. for about 45 years. This rack is a serious solution to a variety of uses of a roof rack. I will be able to use it on various vehicles and for a number of applications (sports, chores,travel etc.) It has more flexibility than most racks and I can't imagine a more durable, quality design. My particular needs, being in my "Dotage", are met by the ability to remove the cross bars and fairing for an open platform, or keep them on and custom fit to a spare tire, or bike rack, kayak rack etc. The attaching mechanisms drew my attention. I put this on the car with solo and with caution using a protective mat. It is very manageable and easy to fit. These mechanisms for tightening down on the crossbars bring the added value (and cost) to folks like me that don't want to spend a lot of time and effort installing a rooftop rack. I wanted secure, solid attachment with simplicity. The OffGrid delivers! No pain killers needed after the install! This "Medium" OffGrid is more than adequate for my initial uses. The internal and external dimensions are pretty much ideal for this 2017 Sienna. A full size spare tire will fit just right. A nice fit for a canoe as well. I admit to scouring the internet and considering dozens of products from baskets to platforms and this OffGrid showed a lot of promise. Its versatility and ruggedness competes with the best designs at about half the price of many. My thoughts included the extension bracket, but the medium OffGrid really does meet most of my expectations and needs for various applications. Now, to the matter of noise. There is wind noise. However, for me, it simply blends into the symphony of white noise that comes with highway travel (and the ringing in my ears) :)......Of all the racks, bikes, canoes,kayaks ladders, lumber, etc., etc. that I have carried on car tops, the wind sounds of this carrier are negligible. The fairing is a nice, well thought out feature that works well. So, my five star rating is for both the product and the vendor. Once again "eTrailer" has proven themselves to be one of the best sources of such products nationwide. Their product information efforts are an industry leader and they deserve credit for providing extremely helpful product reviews and explanations. That's what got me to choose them on this purchase. Those of us well into our "Dotage" appreciate learning all we can!

Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 22 cu ft - Black Glossy
We received the item damaged. After calling them and waiting 20 minutes, we were told that they could get a replacement and schedule a pickup of the damaged item. They said we would be responsible for repacking the damaged item and preparing it for pickup, this is not so easy as it is a very large item and we have no place to store it in the meantime (could be a week or 2 before pickup is scheduled). No idea how long for the new item to arrive, they said the replacement delivery would not be expedited, just sent whenever it's sent. Likely the damage was caused by the shipping, but it should be noted that the packing job was terrible, barely any protective packaging and the box was torn open with the damaged front end as well as the keys fallen out. After all was settled they don't offer any compensation or rebate for the trouble we went through of having to store, repack and schedule the pickup as well as wait for the new replacement. I would definitely recommend considering other companies for future purchases
This has been one of the best purchases of the year. It turned my Highlander capacity into a full-size SUV. No brainer purchase.

Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 74" Long x 48" Wide
Roof rack arrived dented and scratched which complicated the installation because I had to hammer out dents to get the pipes to fit. Apart from that, the paint/coating scratches off fairly easily and the installation design is pretty awful. Instead of threading the pipe to accept screws they have this complicated plastic gasket mechanism which takes forever to align. I expected more from Yakima and for the price. Quick delivery from etrailer and good fit overall-- just need to wait and see about rust.
Initial quality was excellent and assembly a snap. Finding a roof basket that wouldn't look like a tiny hat on a Jeep Commander was difficult, but the MegaWarrior is perfect! Assembly and mounting took less than an hour and it looks great. Now it just needs to be outfitted with a set of off-road lights. ;-)

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

23x59 Stromberg Carlson Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
I bought this trailer to use with my 2013 highlander and it meets all my expectations. I've used it to haul a variery of equipment including a small push LAWN mower and a 350lb plug aereator and it was solid. My only complaint is it is too narrow. So far so good.
Carrier and box will be moved to hitch on 209 Solitude Rv to provide extra cargo carrying ability
etrailer Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2019 Toyota Highlander
Hi, everyone, Aiden here, with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the etrailer tilting and folding cargo carrier on our 2019 Toyota Highlander. Now right away, a cargo carrier is going to be great to help you haul that extra gear on your trip. Whether you're making more leg room for your passengers, looking to fit a bit extra, or maybe you're just hauling something messy and dirty out here. You don't want to mess up the inside of your vehicle. It's easier to just keep it out here, unload it at the end of your trip, just hose it off, and it's good to go.
etrailer Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2019 Toyota Highlander
Rob: Hey everybody. Rob here at etrailer.com and today we're going to be taking a look at the etrailer Aluminum Cargo Carrier. This is going to be really handy for a lot of different situations. Maybe we're going on a road trip and we want to make sure we have as much space on the inside of our Highlander so we can move a lot of that gear to the outside. It's definitely a lot easier to load this up rather than any kind of cargo basket that may be on top of a roof rack. I don't know about you, but I'm a little bit on the shorter side so if I have a cooler or some larger, bigger gear, definitely a lot more convenient to put it back here than try to get it all the way up above my head.This is going to be a pretty decent size.
Curt Roof Basket Review - 2019 Toyota Highlander
Adam: Hi everyone. Adam with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the curt roof mounted cargo basket, on our 2019 Toyota Highlander. So this basket is going to be a great addition to your Highlander just so we can get some of that cargo out of the inside of our vehicle, up on top.

MaxxTow Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Review - 2019 Toyota Highlander
Hi everyone. Adam with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the MaxxTow, MaxxHaul, roof mounted cargo basket on our 2019 Toyota Highlander. This basket is going to be a great accessory for your Highlander just because we can fit quite a bit of passengers inside. Of course if we're going on a long trip we're going to have a lot of cargo. To be able to put it up on top of our roof without adding any length to the back of our vehicle, like a hitch-mounted cargo carrier, I think it's going to be ideal.
Yakima Roof Basket Review - 2019 Toyota Highlander
Adam: Hi everyone, Adam with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima Off Grid Roof Mounted Cargo Basket on our 2019 Toyota Highlander.

Rhino Rack Roof Cargo Carrier Review - 2019 Toyota Highlander
Adam: Hi everyone. Adam with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform rack on our 2019 Toyota Highlander. This whole entire platform is going to be made of aluminum and it's going to measure about 58 inches to about 47 inches. It's all going to be made of aluminum, so it's going to naturally resist against that rust and corrosion. We're going to have a decent looking powder-coated finish on top of that, so it's going to look pretty nice and sporty as well.
Reese 24x60 Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2019 Toyota Highlander
Ryan: Hey, everybody. Ryan here at etrailer.com. Today on our 2019 Toyota Highlander, we're going to be taking a look at the Reese Explorer Hitch-Mounted Cargo Carrier.Carrier is going to allow us to do a couple of things, either carry more gear than we normally could on the inside of our vehicle or take that stuff from the inside, keep it outside and free up some space for more passengers. Now, one of my favorite things about our carrier is that this is going to be one of the larger ones available. It's going to measure 24" long, 60" wide, and 5-1/2" tall, but it's not going to be so large that it'll look funny on the back of your car.Now, whenever we're using the carrier, it is going to extend the overall length of our Highlander. By exactly how much, from the bumper to the end of the carrier is about 37-1/2".
What our customers are saying:
"My cargo carrier was delivered on Tuesday (I ordered it over the weekend)! No rush delivery, no fuss, just fast service. Thanks!"
