This is a great cargo carrier. Initially my husband was a bit skeptical because he wasn’t sure how the quality will be for the price. We loaded most of our skiing gear for a 30 hour road trip from FL to WY. The space in the car was amazing and we kept asking each other what we have forgotten to pack since there was so much free space inside the car. Held on great, no issues during the trip, very durable and easy to install. Comes with a lock. It is entirely waterproof. Does not sit low when attached and the weight of cargo does not affect it. Great buy. Read more
Very nice and certainly as advertized. Be sure to line up the screw holes as this will make that part of installation much easier. I did not use the included rubber sleeves for rust protection which is fine if you do. I opted instead for liquid electrical tape which also provides waterproofing and is easy to apply. Just a suggestion. I like the fit and function very much and it does look nice on a new Checy Tracker. Read more
The basket was easy enough to assemble and seems very sturdy. The bag is a bit difficult to attach and in cold weather the zipper froze. I had an issue where in high and cold lake eerie winds, the bag ripped open and shredded. I contact the seller and they replied right away and shipped me out a new bag and a pad to put under it in the basket. I am hoping the new bag holds up. The customer service was exceptional and the replacement bag arrived within a week of submitting the complaint. Read more
Was a little worried purchasing this from amazon because it was cheaply priced - but I would definitely recommend it to others! The cargo bag is actually pretty sturdy, and can fit more in it than it looks like it can. The hitch and basket are also pretty durable and well made! This thing made a week long trek from Montana, through Canada, and across Alaska and is still going strong, so I would highly recommend. Read more
First off, let's all agree that this is a heck of a bundle for ~$210 + tax. You get a steel roof basket, cargo net, ratchet straps, and finally a travel bag. As of writing this review, I have assembled the roof cage and have done a dry-run of fitting my gear in it, but I have yet to mount it to my vehicle/travel. I will update my review if I find that to be problematic for any reason. Some of the rooftop cargo carriers I was looking at were $500+, so in terms of pricing this can't be beat. Assembly was very straightforward. Though the included guide is not the most descriptive in the world, the picture graph basically speaks for itself. I needed to use my palm screwdriver to secure the screws as they did require some force, so it's a good idea to have a tool that will allow you to exert some pressure. There are no tools included with this kit. The included cargo net appears to be high quality, whereas the ratchet straps appear to be a bit on the cheaper end, but still functional. The weatherproof bag is made of a heavy material akin to what bounce-houses are made of, and certainly seems durable enough for what it needs to hold. I would not trust that the bag would do well with any sharp edges or corners though, so do use caution when packing & zipping everything shut. My only gripes, as minor as they are, are acceptable given the price range. I noticed light markings on the steel in numerous spots that appeared to indicate the cage I purchased was either used before, poorly packaged, or handled somewhat rough at the factory. None of these broke through the paint, so I'm not too concerned about it. If you order one of these, expect to bust out a can of flex seal (or similar) to seal up the areas around the screw holes per manufacturer recommendation. An insert the company had provided seemed to allude to the fact that people were complaining about rust, which is something I have no interest in dealing with, so I do intend to follow their directions to avoid that. Overall I'm very happy with what I have so far, and I look forward to seeing how this holds up on the road! Update: I've installed it on the vehicle, and like many others have stated the U-Bolts are far too large to fit the caps on. I've seen plenty of crossbars and I really cannot see why they justify sending such large U bolts - I don't know of any roof rack that would require the length they provide. Again, given the price I can't complain too much, but this issue is more annoying than the others. Read more
Love the hitch. Easy to put together and use. Holds a lot of items. Easy to fold up when not using and space is needed. Great quality and good price. Read more
Exceeded my expectations! I was on a 1000 mile journey cross-country and needed more room than my Jeep offered. I did not want to drag a trailer behind me. I researched my options and found this product. there were others that were similar at a higher price. However, I really liked what this cargo carrier offered with the water proof heavy duty bag and many straps and 500 lbs capacity. I had never used a product like this before but after seeing a youtube video of a guy using one attached to a Honda Odyssey, I figured that I'd give it a try. I put four totes back there and my bike! Just in case, I placed items that were of lesser needs in case something happened. I can tell you that I was super impressed. the Carrier, the straps, the performance was exceptional! It did not falter, and now I can use it on family trips! It is very compact to store because of the folding feature and it was a great purchase that I will continue using. Photos show before and after the trip. Read more
The rack bars didn't line up perfectly with the cross bars on our 2021 GMC Acadia. Given this issue, installation was a bit harder than expected. We made wedges that attached to each screw to hold it in place and give it extra hold. Once these were installed, the rack was straight and very stable. The storage bag was great and traveled well.
