Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 47" Long x 35" Wide - 165 lbs
Quick Shipping, easy to put together. Installed on our 2014 Jetta Sportswagen TDI with panoramic sunroof. There is not enough clearance to open sunroof when installed. I am going to look at modifying bottom part of bracket. Overall, love the look and style for the Sportswagen.
I ordered a Rhino Rack basket and Vortex Aero cross bars to go on my new 2016 Jeep Renegade. The order came fast and the products look great, although I haven't installed it yet and won't until this weekend. But come on, it's Rhino Rack so it has to be good! I've ordered from eTrailer.com in the past for our GMC Terrain (Curtis rooftop basket, KarPak Car Top Carrier bag, A Draw-Tite Class III 2" ball mount with a 2" ball, Class 3 & 4 Hitch Lock locking pin and a Cargo Bag with straps) and I'm thoroughly satisfied with the delivery time and the quality of the products they sell. I'll continue to do business with them and always recommend them to my friends and family. I'll send pictures to etrailer next week when i'm done and maybe they'll show them on their web site. Keep up the great work etrailer!

Thule Sidekick Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier Box - U-Bolt Mounts - 8 Cubic Feet
I received my product in an excellent, timely manner. This is the second time I have used etrailer and I would recommend them highly for future use.
Expected it to be more rigid, the top is very flexible and needs to by wiggled around to seat correctly.

Rola Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 54-1/2" Long x 40-1/2" Wide x 5" Deep - 130 lbs
This is exactly what I was looking for to add a little extra space to my 2011 Toyota Rav4. It was extremely easy to put together and install. It is strong enough that I even added my canoe racks to the side bars so now I can have the storage and have my boat racks on top as well. I was expecting a lot more road noise but I cant really tell the difference. So far so good. eTrailer had fast, free shipping and it was right on time and packaged well.
Excellent ! Love it fantastic value
Brian W. - 10/06/2016Some quality control issues Overall, I like the basket, think it is fairly priced, and am happy with it. However, there were two quality control issues that should be noted. I'll mention those in a moment. The overall unit is solid and looks good on my black Jeep Liberty. It fit well on the OEM crossbars and was straightforward to install. The unit is pretty heavy, but it has a really solid, substantial feel that makes me think it will securely hold whatever I put up there (within the 130 lb limit). Now, on to the complaints. These are really small things, but are still worth noting. First, there is a noticeable dent in the main large tube on the left front side. It is clearly a factory defect because the dent has been powder coated along with the rest. If I had bought it locally, I would have taken it back and exchanged it. Having had it shipped, I simply cannot go through that. Second, there was an error in the placement of the holes where you use screws to hold the two halves together. Three of the four screw holes lined up fine, but on one of the smaller tubes, the inner hole didn't match the outer hole. I had to drill my own hole to set the screw. These aren't major problems, but it's sloppy on both counts. On balance, I would recommend the product and would not make a different choice if I had it to do over. Also, I should note that etrailer did everything you could ask for. I ordered it on a Saturday evening and they shipped it on Monday morning. It arrived Wednesday. You can't ask for more than that.

Thule Pulse Medium Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Matte Black
This box worked perfectly on my 2016 Acura MDX with the factory rails. The clamps that secure the box to the rails are adjustable. Fortunately I am tall and loading and unloading the box doesn’t pose an issue. I used the box for a camping trip and a vacation where I needed free space inside. There wasn’t a significant drop in gas mileage or issues when I traveled at 70 mph.
We were only able to use the carrier for two trips before the key broke off inside the lock. We took it to a local locksmith who was able to drill it out to get it open, but we cannot secure it or use it now. We called your customer service line beforehand but were told there was no solution. So, we still have it but cannot use it. Sorry such a large expense so quickly down the drain.

SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 cu ft - Black
It was a great purchase. Easy to install on my town and country. Kept the beach stuff in it all summer so it was ready to roll whenever we wanted. The sand stays out of the car and everything stayed dry. It was quiet when driving. I'd recommend this to anybody.
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!

Yakima SkyBox 16 Roof Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black Carbonite
Just what the doctor ordered. The unit came by UPS freight and was delivered to the curb outside my house. My friend and I unboxed and installed the unit on the roof of my SUV in about 20 minutes. The unit is a bit flimsy, but once it is mounted, it is sturdy. Driving around town, the wind noise is minimal and there is very little drag. This unit will be used to carry the larger objects that won't fit into the rear of the SUV. Overall I am pleased with the build quality and the ease of installation.
Used for a cross country family road trip and it worked great. They just need a good method for storing it in between trips and perhaps rubber corners so it doesn't get scratched on the ground preparing to mount it on your car.

Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs
We mounted this on a 2013 Subaru Crosstrek, fits and looks great, took us about an hour.
The product it’s self is great. It’s a Thule product so you know what you’re getting when you order it. Very stylish and the coating on the basket seems like it will hold up. This is something that is not meant to be taken on and off regularly. It does take some time to install the basket. I did it myself in about an hour. I do feel like the plastic wind shield on it could have had a better set up. Doesn’t look to strong but time will tell etrailer customer service also gets 5 stars I ordered this on sale on Black Friday. The item took about 2 weeks to ship but once it did it only took 2 days to arrive. I recieved several emails updating me on my order status which was great comminitication. It seems that basket was delayed due to supplies from Thule because other retailers stopped taking orders on it. Overall the basket looks great on my Subaru Crosstrek and is what I expected from the product.

Rhino-Rack Zenith MasterFit Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - High Gloss Black
Great cargo box. Easy to mount and use, makes NO wind noise on the freeway and looks great.
Still Works perfectly. Great product
Jacob h - 05/27/2020We've used for two snowboarding trips. Selling point for me was access from either side. This is a must-have feature because trying to get something from the far side on a roof-mounted container is near impossible unless you're a pro basketball player. We were able to store three snowboards with bindings, snowboard boots, winter clothes, boot dryer, and other items in the carrier without any problems. This definitely made our 12-hr (one-way) snowboarding trips more enjoyable with the freed-up space in the vehicle.

Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 57" Long x 42" Wide - 165 lbs
I've had this rack for a year now. For the most part I am very pleased - very sturdy and I do a lot of high speed driving on interstates. However, recently the wind deflector has started to rattle a bit more - probably just needs to be tightened. Also, perhaps a bigger issue, recently orange liquid has started to leak from two screws on either side of the lower front crossbar. This is rusty water leaking from inside the frame meaning the frame has been filling and holding rainwater probably since I bought the unit. The rust has now stained the outside of the frame in the vicinity of the screws and is a bit unsightly. Otherwise, this is a great product.
Really like this rack. Very easy to assemble and mount to my car. This is the only one that has adjustable mounts that run vertically. This made mounting it to my 2018 Explorer very easy as the cross bars are fixed position at 39".

Yakima RocketBox Pro 11 Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 cu ft - Black
Received the Yakima Rocket Box to transport 5 pairs of skis and poles for a day trip at a nearby ski resort. Originally purchaed a Thule 4-ski rack but needed a more versatile carrier so chose the Yakima Rocket Box. It fits all of our skis and poles with room to spare. Setup was a breeze and unlike my older Thule Evolution cargo box, it use built in crossbar clamps rather than U-brackets on Thule. Overall a nice purchase but only reaso. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is due to wind noise; I was expecting less. But, I think price was fair with a $75 rebate from Yakima.
I have used etrailer twice. Each time has been an excellent experience. I really like the videos that show you exactly how to install and use the product you purchased. Etrailer provides detailed updates on the order status from order to delivery. I highly recommend etrailer.

Yakima RocketBox Pro 12 Rooftop Cargo Box - 12 cu ft - Black
Just the right size. Holds everything I bought it for. Great quality unit. Could not be happier.
Product is excellent. Time from order to ship was a bit excessive, but the price was too good to pass up and was worth waiting for. The unit was fairly easy to install if your'e tall and/or have a step ladder. This was the perfect size for my Subaru Forester as it didn't cover the antenna and still allowed a partial view thru the sunroof. Enjoy! .

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs
Bolts are too long, so they MAY damage cargo in basket. Manufacturer expects these to be "cut off", but provide no tooling or instructions to do so.
The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because there was something missing. I didn’t get one of the small screws and nut for the top part of the wind shield. I like the product in general. If you guys could send me the missing nut and bolt that would be great. Thanks

Yakima SkyBox 12 Rooftop Cargo Box - 12 cu ft - Black Carbonite
I have only used the cargo box three times since purchasing it about one year ago, but I am very happy with it. It nearly doubles our cargo space, and opens up the Subaru for the occasional guest. On our way up the coast last year, the cargo box was full, and mpg was reduced from 27 to 24 mpg. On the way home, the cargo box was nearly empty, and mpg bumped up to 26 mpg. Of course, some of the reduction from our normal 27 mpg is attributable to added weight, but we only lost 1 mpg due to the cargo box. It is very quiet at freeway speeds, and adds no noticeable roll or sway to the driving. I need to be careful when opening the car's rear hatch since the cargo box does interfere with it. Installing, locking, opening and closing the cargo box is very simple, and I love being able to access luggage from either side of the car. And it keeps the rain out! I plan to strap the cargo box onto our new Subaru Ascent next month and head cross country. Thank-you for an excellent product!
Great product. Purchased this due to its slim profile and length that way we can carry all of our camping gear and whitewater boating gear. The length allows us to place the paddles in the carrier instead of in the car and needing to fold a seat down. It's width allows us to have plenty of room left on our roof rack for our boats. Love how simple and easy it is to put on and off the car when not in use. Looks great, makes little to no noise, and can hardly tell it's on the car. Love that it has built in gear tie down points inside. Highly recommend and worth the cost. Should last my lifetime and fit any future car we get due to its ability to adjust.

SportRack SkyLine XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 Cubic Feet
Customer service was outstanding! Dena especially was thorough and professional. The carrier itself is low quality. It vibrates loudly, and the faster you drive, the louder and more annoying it is. It is large enough to accommodate the storage need, as advertised. Requires 2 people to install and assemble. Expensive lesson.
SR7095 installation was a breeze for two people. Initially, I was setting it up solo and it was a bit challenging. Otherwise, OMG, tons of space. Best buy for the buck. Definitely would recommend to all if space is your concern.

MaxxTow Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 45-3/4" Long x 36-1/4" Wide - 150 lbs
Ordering was simple, and the parcel arrived on time as promised. The luggage rack is packaged in three separate sections that must be put together before securing it to the roof. All parts in the box were precisely as they appeared in the parts list. The hardware is well-designed for easy securing to the roof and can withstand the weather. And the rack itself although relatively lite-weight is structurally sturdy. It fit my Sportage perfectly. The instructions to assemble the rack were clear and straightforward to follow. The problem is in the assembly of the three sections. The pre-drilled holes are insufficient for the sheet metals crews that secure any two sections together. Because of that, it takes high torque to drive them completely in, and that causes stripping the head of the Phillip screws, which makes the driver turn without moving the screw into its final destination. Almost all the connection had to be re-drilled. And that is the only problem with this product, albeit not a small one. I looked hard and long but couldn’t find anything of good quality that can compete with the price. There are racks on the market for $300 to $400, but I don’t see what those can do for me that this rack cannot.
It was a good sturdy product it got really scratched up during shipping nothing some spray paint won't fix has a couple weld wires hanging off but it was a lot cheaper than a different basket I installed it on a 2009 Prius Yakima Q towers that were used

SportRack Horizon Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 cu ft - Black
Great product fit exactly how I needed it to. I would do business with this company any day. I needed a ski rack to hold four pair of skis and a box all to fit on top of my Subaru. This fits perfectly
We went from George Iowa to Yellowstone and had no problems so far with the product seems to withstand Interstate driving and high winds

Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte Black
Very nice rocket box. Roomy, lightweight and well built. My wife and I put both sets of golf clubs in it with room for smaller stuff like shoes and clothes. It turned out to be just what we were looking for.
The delivery was right on time as the common carrier arranged. I wish the carrier would have taken the pallets from the delivery. I will be using the carrier for hauling my "golf" equipment. The carrier will suffice for this chore.
Rhino Rack Roof Basket Review - 2014 Chevrolet Sonic
Today, on our 2014 Chevrolet Sonic, we're going to be taking a look at the Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Basket, part number RMCB. This is a steel cargo basket, and it's great for keeping your luggage, camping gear, sporting goods equipment, anything you want to keep out from the inside and make more space for the inside. It has a carrying capacity of 165 pounds, although, you want to double check with your vehicle's manual, to make sure it can withstand that weight. It's very easy to install. It simply just clamps onto the roof rack of your vehicle. We'll show you how that goes on. Now, we already placed the bottom half of our top bracket on here, and it just fits in between these 2 bars.
Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2013 Chevrolet Sonic
Today on our 2013 Chevy Sonic, well be test fitting the Curt 20x48 Cargo Carrier, part number C18145. Now to begin our test fit, well slide the shank of the carrier into the opening of the hitch, line up our pinholes, thread our anti-rattle bolt through the pinholes and tighten with a wrench. Now well go ahead and go over a few clearance measurements to see the cargo carrier and this vehicle will fit together. There is about 11 inches of ground clearance from the rear of the carrier. The closest part of the carrier to the closest part of the vehicle here at the rear bumper is about three inches. Weve added a total of 22 inches to the overall length of the vehicle. The closest part of the carrier to the closest part of the vehicles exhaust tip is about nine inches apart.
"This is the BEST Cargo Carrier I have ever seen - from engineering to looks to capacity. It exemplifies the old addage the you get what you pay for.. You guys were a pleasure to deal with in this transaction. Your follow-up emails on status of the delivery were much appreciated - and very professional. Keep up the good work!"
Love the functionality and looks but it makes a annoying whistle while driving and I even spent the extra money to get aerodynamic rails! I don’t know if the rails or the rack is causing the whistle.
