SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 cu ft - Black
Our SportRack cargo box has worked as hoped / advertised since we bought it over a year ago. What initially attracted me to this particular product was the size and design - it holds A LOT, and the way it opens from the back has helped protect our stuff from getting wet and damaged.
Our family of 4 took two trips with this box. One was a week-long driving/camping trip from Texas to Appalachian Mountains. It has plenty of room for sleeping bags/tent/chairs/misc. We drove about 80 mph on open highway, drove through rainstorms and had no problems. I have a 2013 Toyota 4Runner and needed to buy crossbars that fit my vehicle before installing the box. I learned not to leave loose clothing in the cargo box while driving on the highway. Small clothing can get sucked out of the small sliver of an opening created along the side while driving fast. Now I put towels, dirty clothes in a duffel bag to prevent this. Remember to avoid parking garages!

Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches - With Ramp - 77" Long - 500 lbs
I can't say I'm entirely happy with my purchase. The instructions were more confusing than helpful. Note in "instruction.jpg" photo of STEP 1 that the text says to put the 8 small bolts in from the inside first, but the drawing clearly shows them as going in from the outside. The last step says to place the ramp onto the receiver as shown.... glad I didn't throw away the box because there is no drawing that shows ramp installation. Actually, the photo on the box was more helpful than any of the instructions. Also, I need to make a trip to the hardware store to buy longer medium bolts because the ones that came with the carrier were not long enough to fully engage the self locking feature of the nylon lock nuts. At a minimum a couple of threads should protrude beyond the nylon. See photo "nut.jpg". The bolt threads don't reach the end of the nylon, so the self locking feature is not fully engaged. I did tighten the nut, but that was as far as it would go. I think once I get back from the hardware store with the new medium bolts and after I reverse the 8 small bolts (I followed the drawing and not the text of the instructions), I'll be OK with the carrier.
"Instantly Get Rid of Wobble and Upgrade With Lights" This is not a 5 because ramp should be longer & there should be some type stabilizer to temporary hold bike while strapping down, I'd pay more for those upgrades. The wobble can instantly be solved by hooking Tie-Straps closest to vehicle directly to the receiver where you hook your chains, rather than hooking them to the provided holes on carrier itself. You of course use the provided strap holes ones on the opposite side. When strapped down as stated, the carrier now becomes one with the vehicle & @ 80mph there is no wobble. (*TIP: Put ramp back in its place before strapping down or else it won't fit with the strap hooks in the way.) I upgraded mine with lights for both safety reasons & not needing the Police any reason to pull me over. It was very simple and cost me nothing but time & maybe $50. I recommend this product whole heartedly.

17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
I've been using this Cargo Carrier on my 4 Runner Venture for about a year now. I Purchased this item to haul extra gear to Nags Head from Northwestern Virginia. Installation was a breeze and it's very, very sturdy. I had two Yeti coolers packed with ice and drinks and there was no wobbling at all. I'm a 197 pounds and I was standing on it after I installed it just to check for durability and this thing is a beast. I also used this as a rod holder while on the beach and I caught a 6 foot black tip shark. Overall, I'm very pleased with this item and I would recommend to a friend.
This is a substantial, well-made product at exactly the size I needed - smaller than many, and with sides that keep items secure. It was very easy to assemble, with all parts included and clearly sorted, and with all pieces manufactured to cleanly align. The item arrived promptly, packed to protect the shipment but without waste. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a high-quality cargo carrier.

Thule Sidekick Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier Box - U-Bolt Mounts - 8 Cubic Feet
Nothing like the Thule Box I bought in the 90's that carried 80 pounds of gear for 15 years out on top of the car without wearing or fading. This box is made of much thinner material, flexes too much, the bar attachment hardware is cheap, the plastic nuts quickly cross-thread and the rods are already corroding, locks are fussy. The box bends under modest loading; will not be buying Thule cargo stuff anymore.
This cargo box looks great on top of my Subaru. It was easy to install and it was very secure during my travels across southeast US. Had daughter, two teenagers, my dog, and myself traveling and the extra space was perfect. Cody O was wonderful during the ordering process over the phone and internet.

Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs
Received and installed just in time for a family trip to a cabin. This rack was perfect for storing coolers and bags to free up space in the back of the car. The only difficult step in the installation was getting it as close to centered as possible on the roof rails.
I love this basket! Once I centered on cross braces, it was easy to leave the connectors in same spot. Also, low enough profile to drive in and out my garage. We have a screen door so that made it a shorter height than traditional garage door.

Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte Black
Easy to install, very secure
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!

23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 450 lbs
packing box arrived damaged. content slightly damaged, contacted etrailers and no joke,received reply within minutes. settled for a reduced price, (my choice] great product and exceptional customer service. would recommend this provider and product anytime!
The cargo carrier came exactly as billed. It was simple to put together and was perfiect for my first two dump runs.

19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs
This cargo carrier worked great. Used it to move a rototiller, 2 hour trip. No damage or deformation to the carrier despite the tiller being near the top of the weight limit. The hitch bolt held the carrier firmly in place. It doesn't come with the lights, I installed light kit Item # 52014. Just had to drill four small holes (I knew this light kit wasn't specifically designed for this carrier, just wanted something cheap). Works great on a Town Car, lots of ground clearance. I'm very happy with this product.
This cargo carrier is sturdy and works well on a Mazdaspeed 3. The rise and slight angle make it so clearance is not an issue. The carrier is very easy to put together. I did install the 8 bolts through the connecting plates in reverse of the instructions so cargo would not be scratched or torn. It adds so much cargo space for our growing family. The only drawbacks are a lack of license plate frame and reflectors which are easily added with very little cost. I used a Cruiser license mount plate with zip ties and Reese DOT approved reflectors. I don't plan to use the carrier at night but there are many license plate lights that can be added as well. I also purchased the Rola carrier bag for hauling luggage and other indoor items.

19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Aluminum - Folding - 500 lbs
Easy to assemble. Don't forget a receiver hitch pin.
Purchased this 1 year ago. Worked awesome for a 9.000 mile cross country trip with three off road adventures at geology tour road Joshua tree, west side road Death Valley, and kingman wash lake mead. No rattle, always secure, great clearance. Would purchase again.

Malone Cargo16 Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 Cubic ft - Gray
Pro: This box is a perfect option to add to the cargo capacity of my Toyota RAV4. Great for camping, fishing or skiing trips (but watch out that your XC skies don't exceed the length capacity of the box!). Pro: The box fits onto Malone cross bars very securely: once screwed down it's solid. Install and removal is very easy. Con: The front arm that holds the box lid open is attached with a rubber-covered pin at the front, and a metal retainer at the rear, see photos. Without the locking metal retainer, the front arm pops loose off the lid's pin. Initially I thought this was a mfg defect, but this is how it's built. etrailer contacted Malone and both provided great support. Malone sent me a new rubber grommet to insert on the pin at the front arm. But that didn't fix the problem at all. In the end, I replaced the rubber grommet with a metal bolt that permanently attaches the front support arm with the box lid. Would I buy this product again? Probably not.
We received our Malone Cargo Box and are very happy with it. It was installed on a 2016 Subaru Outback. For us, it holds two complete sets of golf clubs, golf shoes, balls, a bag of miscellaneous tie downs, and a small metal carrying case with wheels. We haven't used it on a long trip yet, but locally it's very stable. There is some strong wind noise when the sunroof is open. We also needed to use shims on the rear crossbar to prevent the pod from hitting the antenna. You can access this Box from either side which is nice. Overall we're happy with our purchase.

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.

20 x 59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Great quality and serves its purpose. I wish I ordered the slightly bigger one to fit the bins and items I use it for. For example, a white standard igloo cooler doesn’t fit the way I need it to maximize loading capacity. I highly recommend a stabilizer to prevent wobble.
Very nice quality. Took one person and two wrench about 15 minutes to install the cargo carrier from box. It is very sturdy and the finish is very good. I really like the added height this specific carrier provides.

23x59 Stromberg Carlson Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Carrier and box will be moved to hitch on 209 Solitude Rv to provide extra cargo carrying ability
A good size and very strong. I like the fact that it has a grated bottom, as opposed to a few bars like many of its competitors. There are many holes and notches present for any customization desired. Also makes for a great chair to relax. I also ordered the anti-rattle pin so as to fasten this tightly to the hitch. IMO that should be included with any of these trailer-hitch-Mount accessories.
# 14
24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
We just installed our carrier. We love that this is going to free up a lot of space for our vacation traveling. Very heavy duty and bigger than i was thinking it would be.The pin that holds the carrier in the hitch was not included. It would have been an added bonus if it was.
This cargo carrier fits perfectly behind my 2023 CR-V. I use it for hauling bags of grass to the yard waste. It is almost a two person job inserting it into the receiver though. Seems well made and well finished.

Trunx Rooftop Cargo Carrier - 9 cu ft - Black
Customer service goes a long way in my book and how an item is presented on its website I've boughten stuff from etrailer before for my prior truck and always had an amazing experience with Etrailer.this is my first cargo box for my new to me Subaru Impreza sport hatchback and doing research on buying one wasn't easy but etrailer made the process quick and painless with exactly what I needed and dimensions were spot on and instructions were perfect couldn't be any more happier with my purchase.the trunx's brand box perfectly compliments my car and looks awesome on it thanks again etrailer you guys rock
Although I just received the Trunx Carrier, and it has been raining almost continuously here, I am impressed with the quality of the product. I still have to drill four new holes to mount the carrier, but you provide on your web site a great video specific to that job. I hope to get it mounted this weekend, and see how long my wife (who does all the driving) allows me to keep it on the van. We won't really use it until mid-April. That etrailer.com made it easy to find a carrier, and videos for our Chrysler 2014 Town and Country Van, gave us a secure feeling about the purchase. I just wish they were located a bit closer to Southern CA. Hope to add photos once it stops raining, and I am able to install the carrier.

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.
Pretty good. The locking mech is a little funky but it swallows the beach chairs and other sandy stuff no problem. Make sure you watch the videos Yakima has on YouTube. They are very helpful for first timers. I found that if you use the Yakima website to get the part list right you can order wherever you want. Yup can even pull into the garage. My only gripe is that etrailer showed all parts in stock but several pieces were actually back ordered. Luckily everything arrived in time for my trip.

20x47 Reese Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs
well made very strong
This is great cargo basket: solid and secure, easy assembly, well designed. The angled neck keeps the basket well away from the ground; I haven’t had any problems with it bottoming out. My first use was actually on a trip back from Florida following Powered Paragliding training. I was intending to bring back just a Paramotor (which would have stood vertically inside the basket), but ended up bringing back a whole Trike assembly! Mounted it on the basket as shown, and it rode just fine back through four states. Got a lot of looks on the way home! I concur with an earlier reviewer that a neat trick is to use a stabilizer strap from the hitch to the corner of the basket. There is plenty of slop in the receiver when the neck is inserted, and a short ratcheting tie down cancels the rattle effectively. I’m very pleased with this purchase; and while I don’t plan to haul around anything as big as that trike, I look forward to many more years of use from it!

24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
well made very strong
The rack is much bigger than my previous one. I was disappointed that it was made in China instead of the USA. It assembled very easily and the light kit works very well. The only draw back is I can no longer open my tailgate with the rack installed due to the spare tire hitting the raised rack.

24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Tilting - Folding - 500 lbs
I bought this for my wife's 2021 Hyundai Tucson. We love it. It is a bit heavy but it feels solid. The best part is that it folds which, in our case was the deciding factor. Buying from Trailer was a great experience.
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.

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 64-1/2" Long x 39" Wide x 7-1/4" Tall - 150 lbs
I only use the roof rack for vacations because they make cars so small on the interior now a days. It handles quite a bit of luggage. Including two big size luggage and two small is how I travel. Make sure to get water proof covers and good straps. I stopped every 3 hours to make sure load was secure and drove over 700 miles without any issues. The rack will make whistle noise because of the wind passing through the bars but I just toned it out and blasted the radio . The product is great and sturdy easy on and easy off. My only complaint is putting on the wind guard. I couldn’t figure it out because the instructions have poor information on the wind plate. Also it took two deliveries to receive the product due to my first delivery being opened/ repackaged and missing parts like keys. I returned it and got the product in a new package with no more issues. Customer service was very helpful also and communication was well organized. Make sure to order well in advance just incase you might have to send the product back because of packaging issues. Also product is easy to store without disassembly of the rack rails. I put it in my garage and it takes up no space. I hope this review helps someone. Thank you
Flint Hill Goods Cargo Carrier Review - 2023 Hyundai Tuscon
How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com, and we're taking a look at the hitch-mounted compact cargo basket from Flint Hill Goods on our 2023 Hyundai Tucson. Adding a cargo basket to your hitch is gonna help resolve the issue of having limited cargo space. When you have a vehicle like the Tucson, you only have so much area for those bigger, bulkier items, and this is gonna allow you to get those out on the journey with you, as well as getting those dirtier, more cruddy things that you don't necessarily want inside your vehicle. Our baskets constructed of tubular, black powder-coated steel, and what that means, basically, it's gonna be nice and sturdy for your cargo that you're gonna put back here to hold up to that 500 pound capacity, and the powder coat is gonna hold up against the elements and the abuse just from being on the road. You have nice solid tie down points on the edge if you're gonna use bungee cords or a cargo net. And on the rear, we actually have reflectors that are gonna help increase your visibility.
Flint Hill Goods Wheelchair Carrier with Ramp Review - 2023 Hyundai Tucson Video
How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Flint Hill Goods wheelchair and scooter carrier on our 2023 Hyundai Tucson. Clearly, if you're lookin' at a scooter or a wheelchair carrier, it's to carrier scooter or wheelchair. Beyond that, you can actually get additional use for it as a cargo carrier to carry those bigger, bulkier items that don't necessarily fit into your cargo space. Another really great thing that it can work with is those heavy generators or pressure washers, those items that are on wheels to wheel up onto the back of your Tucson. Our carrier is a folding carrier and it is designed to fold up to stow away when you're not carrying your chair, scooter, or cargo. However, on the Tucson, with our etrailer hitch installed, you just don't have the clearance to fold up the the carrier without making contact to the vehicle, it's just not space for it.
Flint Hill Goods Cargo Carrier Reiew - 2023 Hyundai Tucson
How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com, and we're taking a look at the hitch mounted aluminum cargo basket from Flint Hill Goods on our 2023 Hyundai Tucson. Adding a cargo basket to your receiver hitch has its own benefits similar to adding a cargo box to the roof of your vehicle. With the Tucson, you're pretty limited as far as your cargo space, and with those bigger, bulkier items, this is gonna allow you to have that additional flexibility. So your heavier items that you wouldn't wanna hoist on top of the vehicle, you'd be able to put into your cargo basket on your hitch, and things that you wouldn't want exposed directly to the elements, you can put into a cargo box on your rooftop. Our cargo basket is constructed of extruded aluminum, and what the extruded aluminum does for you, it allows you to have a more stable and rigid material. Aluminum in itself is gonna be corrosion resistant, so you don't have to worry about that, and you have solid tie down points on the end of your carrier.
Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Rooftop Cargo Box Reveiw - 2023 Hyundai Tuscon
How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Yakima SkyBox NX on the top of our 2023 Hyundai Tucson. Adding a rooftop box is gonna help solve the issue that you encounter with the Tucson and other vehicles in this size as far as not having a lot of cargo space. This is gonna allow you to get those bigger, bulkier items on the road with you, and the main benefit over a cargo basket, everything will be enclosed, so you're protecting it from the elements. The SkyBox NX has the nano-texture that's gonna allow you to have scratch resistance, and it also looks pretty nice on top of the vehicle. Your handle is a locking handle and it will not allow you to remove the key when the box is unlocked, so you don't have to worry about losing it. It's an extra measure to keep you from, you know, losing track of your key.
Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket Installation - 2023 Hyundai Tuscon
How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Yakima SkinnyWarrior on our 2023 Hyundai Tucson. Adding a rooftop cargo solution is gonna help you increase your cargo area. When you have a vehicle that's like the Tucson or compact SUVs, you're limited as far as the amount of space you have for your cargo items. And this is gonna allow you to get those bigger, bulkier items and sometimes maybe those dirtier items that you don't want on the inside of your vehicle out with you on your adventures. Our SkinnyWarrior is made out of a black powder-coated steel that's gonna hold up against the elements in the real world. Another cool thing is the fact that you can actually expand it.
Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket Review - 2023 Hyundai Tuscon
How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etraler.com and we're taking a look at the Rhino-Rack XTray rooftop basket on our 2023 Hyundai Tucson. Adding a rooftop basket to your Tucson is gonna help solve the issue of how you can get more cargo, especially if you load it completely down, out with you when you're going for your adventures. This is gonna make use of the negative space on your roof to let you get those bigger, bulkier items out on the road with you or maybe some of the dirtier items you may not want inside of your vehicle. Our XTray has a powder-coated steel construction that's gonna hold up against the elements. It's a nice thick finish and you're gonna have nice finish points as far as the welds on this, on the rack. Overall, your height on this is gonna be right about 5", you're 46" across and 36" going front to back.
Flint Hill Goods Roof Cargo Basket Review - 2023 Hyundai Tuscon
How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com, and we're taking a look at the Flint Hill Good Cargo Roof Basket on our 2023 Hyundai Tucson. Adding a cargo basket to the top of your Tucson is gonna help solve the issue of not having enough cargo space for those bigger bulkier items for your adventure, especially if you're loaded down with all your passengers. You don't really have a lot of cargo space, and this is gonna allow you to make use of the negative space on top of your car. Our Flint Hill Goods Cargo Basket is constructed of powder-coated steel, so that's gonna allow it to hold up against the elements and keep the steel safe against corrosion. The dimensions of the boxes of the basket itself is 36 inches long, 46 inches wide, so that's plenty of space for those bigger items. And you're gonna have additional tie-down points along the side of your basket.
Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Review - 2023 Hyundai Tuscon
How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Rooftop Cargo Basket from Curt on our 2023 Hyundai Tucson. Adding a cargo box to the top of your vehicle is gonna help resolve the issue of not having enough cargo space in the back of your Tucson. This is gonna allow you to get those bigger, bulkier items on top of your vehicle and make use of the negative space on your roof. Your cargo basket has constructed of powder coated steel and it's a pretty good powder coat. Our demonstration model has been in our studio for a while and it's been putting up to a lot of our abuse, and as you can see, it's not very bad condition at all as far as breaking through to bare metal. Your dimensions are 41 by 37, so that's gonna give you a pretty medium sized space to add those bigger items on top of your vehicle.
etrailer Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2023 Hyundai Tucson
How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the folding tilting hitch-mounted cargo basket from etrailer on our 2023 Hyundai Tucson. So adding a cargo basket to the back of your Tucson is gonna help resolve the issue of having limited cargo space. This is gonna allow you to get those bigger, bulkier items out on the road with you. Compare it against like our rooftop carrier that we have here, this is gonna allow you to still bring those items with you, but you don't necessarily have to get it up on the roof. If you are wanting to protect those same items, you can definitely use a cargo bag or basket. So let's take a closer look at some of the structure of our carrier.
What our customers are saying:
"Employees were a great help in making my decision on which cargo carrier to order and I was amazed at how fast I received the item, would order from them again"
