Rola Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 54-1/2" Long x 40-1/2" Wide x 5" Deep - 130 lbs
Built well overall doesnt fit a 2017 CX-5 perfectly but works. Sticker on the back was peeling off out of the box and left a lot of papaer and adhesive behind.
As advertised - thank you!

24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
Works as it should. Didn't work well for us because we would scrape the frame every time we go through a dip or driveway we chose it based on the video review for our specific car but didn't show how it handles dips. Our 2014 Acura RDX has a low hitch and this carrier sits so far out that any dip in the road will cause it to scrape. I'm sure this is great on a car or truck with a higher hitch.
Drove 2,155 miles to New Mexico without a problem. Sometimes scraped the ground going into hotel entrances. Not a big deal. Great product & service from etrailer. Thank you.

24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Well designed and made product....I added some lock washers for my own peace of mind. Plan to carry my 60 lb EBike
I love this thing. I use it all the time. I have a 2017 Jeep Rubicon and this set up has more than come in handy on multiple occasions. I highly recommend this set up it’s awesome. Also it took no time at all once I placed my order with etrailer it was only a couple day’s and it was on my doorstep in great condition right out of the box.

Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 47" Long x 35" Wide - 165 lbs
I called etrailer for help with a cargo basket for our Forester. Michael was very helpful with guidance to the correct product. We had no trouble putting the basket together and even less trouble mounting it to the car. We are very pleased and would not hesitate to recommend either Michael at etrailer or the Rhino-rack cargo basket we purchased.
The picture only assembly instructions leave something to be desired. Just how to best fit the two halves together using the rubber sleeves would be helpful. (A good coating of silicon spray on the rubber helps. Grease the ends of the metal pieces). No instructions on how to use the rubber washers that are in the pack of bolts for the plastic faring. Just how to install the clamps to secure the rack to the roof would be helpful. After trial and error, I got it figured out. (The rubber piece that keeps falling out is installed so that it faces up towards the bottom of the roof cross bar). Another comment mentions the bars rusting where the two pieces join. The grease should help plus I wrapped the rubber sleeves with rubber electrical tape to keep water out. Over all, a solid looking rack. Haven’t installed it on the roof yet because the instructions say to not go through a car wash with the rack installed. I had hoped it would have been a permanent install. Taking it on and off again will be a real PITA.

Car Top Cargo Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black
Excellent customer service and great pr iduct
Great product. I moved from New Jersey to Florida with a month stop at Myrtle Beach SC . We had many things we could not ship with the containers so we had to maximize the SUV for things we needed for the month or so .We have a dog so that cut down on the packing space. THE roof top carrier was the perfect answer to the problem. After getting to MB I didn't have to empty the carrier . On the travel we hit rain and wind everything stayed dry and secure going 70 to 80 mph. Worth the price

MaxxTow 30x50 Wheelchair Carrier w/ 60" Long Ramp - 2" Hitches - Folding - Steel - 500 lbs
Quick and easy to assemble. Solid product. Perfect size and functionality for carrying and deploying a snow blower to go clear walkways and driveways at some family houses.
The box arrived banged up. The contents were tough so it wasn't an issue. For the price it seems adequate. The electric wheelchair went up backwards up the ramp well with a little practice. Overall a good carrier. Thanks

Yakima SkyBox 16 Roof Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black Carbonite
Amazing product! Has a lot of space for camping and skiing.
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 Sidekick Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier Box - U-Bolt Mounts - 8 Cubic Feet
I once had an old Yakima Cargo Box (white on top & gray bottom) & I backed out of my car port w/its lid open~~of course, I totaled it! So, I chose the small Thule Cargo Box & was disappointed in its construction. 1). The box was very flexible due to its light construction. 2). The box comes w/two locks. Couldn't get the rear lock to catch because either the lock-arm was too short or the catch mechanism was riveted too low. Anyway my Yakima was of sturdy plastic which I had for a number or years. It held about 15 cubic feet of gear instead of the 8 that this product holds. I wouldn't recommend this product to any of my friends.
We used this product for a family vacation to South Carolina. It did the expected job.

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs
Product seems to be well put together. However, there were a lot of extra screws that didn't seem to have a place to go and were not on the parts list. Also, a little larger drawing on the assembly sheet would help also. I had parts that were not on the assembly sheet but I was finally able to determine where they went (clips that held the name plate on). Also even though I had plenty of extra screws in varying lengths I seemed to be short a couple of lock washers and nuts. These are items that can be easily bought locally, it's just an extra trip to the hardware store. Otherwise, a good product and I would recommend it to others.
Excellent roof storage solution, always check roof loading specs of your particular vehicle and roof racks cross bars which ARE REQUIRED to install the cargo basket. Assembly may require some "elbow grease" but ensures a quality end product. I did experience a decrease by about 5 mpg in my fuel efficiency on the highway, BUT, my roof rack cross bars are about 5 or 6 inches off the roof. Fuel efficiency would increase the lower the Cross bars top surface are to the vehicles roof surface in turn bring the cargo baskets final mounted position more flush with the vehicle.

Have not used product as of yet but looks good, very easy to assemble and just what i need to help me clear some much needed room inside my suv while going on my camping trips.

Gus P - 05/15/2018
Great product. Easy to install and use. Very secure. Also bought top and cargo bag. Cargo bag is water resistant not water proof. Like how it can be folded up when not in use. Would buy again.
Still working great. Would buy again.

Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Black
Nice product. It attached to the factory crossbars on my 2008 Rav4 without a problem.
set up was a snap , installation was easily done by myself. loaded 90% of my camping gear into it. small amount of wind noise but it hung on and never moved. we literally got it installed it packed it and went camping and for two days it rained. the unit is not meant to be water proof but there was no water in the unit. We absolutely love this unit the key and button design works very well from both sides which if you have a tall vehicle and cant reach over, makes getting to everything very easy. On our Kia Rondo this unit is a winner.

SportRack SkyLine XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 Cubic Feet
The roof box is sometimes difficult to open & close. It takes 2 people to mount it in the roof mounts. You have to climb on the roof & reach inside to tighten the bolts. A carrier that opens on both side would be easier to mount & load. The latches on the front & rear are hard to latch. Overall it is good but it has it's flaws.
Delivered faster than promised.

Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 44" Long x 39" Wide
Yakima load warrior Great roof basket ,very well made and instalation is simple. Used it on wifes Expidition . A real life saver when hauling 6 people for a week long snow board trip. Also purchased the cargo net to go with it. Another great product from Etrailer
I’m really impressed with the Load Warrior. The instructions were clear and assembling it was straightforward. The hardest part for me was putting the fairing on, but after that it was smooth sailing. I put it together and installed it by myself. Having a second person probably would have made it easier when it came to putting it on the car, but it wasn’t bad. The basket is really sturdy and I love how it looks. The fairing can fold forward / lay flat in case you’re carrying long skinny cargo. I purchased the locking brackets for added security.

SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 cu ft - Black
Here are a few pictures of the Aero XL cargo box. I had just installed it on our H3 Hummer.
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!

20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
We purchased this along with the trailer hitch and found it to be a great addition to our Rogue. Good quality materials. We had it on our car when we made a trip from Illinois to California, using it to carry things that wouldn't fit in the car.
Easy to put together. However, when folding up the side rails must push inwards the bumper to close. Not a good fit to my vehicle. Full closure means pushing my bumper a good inch. Driving with it up will cause paint damage and scratches. I wanted the high rails to keep items secure. So, not sure what I want to do yet.

The raised edge that goes all the way around measures just about 2 inches and the frame of it at the widest point is about 5-1/4, so it would be pretty easy to put this up against a wall somewhere and keep it out of the way.

The overall distance, we've added to the Escape from the back of the bumper there, is about 32 and a half inches and the closest point of the front of the carrier is going to be about 11 and a half. Although, this point in the shank would be the first thing to make contact if you we're to put that in the hitch too far. This one actually make contact with your bumper.

Now this Escape does have a dual exhaust which is going to come out pretty far away from this carrier. That's a nice thing about this folding style is that it sits pretty far from our vehicle but just to give you an idea of how far the exhaust actually is, it's going to be about 15 and half inches away.

Today our 2012 Ford Escape we'll be doing a test fit of the MaxxTow aluminum cargo carrier. That's part number MT70422. I've already got it loaded up on the Escape to give you a good idea of what it looks like and how it's going to work with our Escape. Its dimensions are 48 x 21. It's made out of aluminum, which is said in the introduction. It's going to be really easy to install into our receiver tube.
The hitch and the carrier came in much earlier than expected. The cargo carrier assembled in a few minutes. The hitch went on like a glove. I was very satisfied with it's quality. My salesperson was very helpful and made sure that I had the right things. Overall, I was very pleased.

One year later and we are still very pleased with the cargo basket. It is just right forur needs.
