Question:

I would like recommendations on a cargo box for my Lexus gx470. The rear door swings open to the right and i would like to know if I can swing a cargo box and fully open back door as well. We are a family of four who travel and neeeed extra storage. Also, is this an easy enough thing to take off when done with it? Thank you,

Expert Reply:

For your 2009 Lexus GX 470 with the rear door that opens to the right, I recommend using the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches - 10 cu ft - 100 lbs # Y62VR. This is for use on 2-inch trailer hitch receivers, has a weight capacity of 100 pounds and provides 10 cubic feet of space for all of your cargo. The carrier is able to swing out to the right and away from the rear cargo area of your Lexus.

The pod itself on this system weighs only 28 pounds, so it can be easily removed from the tray when not in use.

If you need even more room, you could consider the double version of this # Y74ZR.

I have included the installation details and a demonstration video on this product for you to check out.
