Hitch Carrier with Bag

I just put over 2K miles on the car with this roof rack. Does is make some noise when empty and traveling at highway speeds. Yes. Any roof rack will do that including cross bars. Did id make any noise when fully oaded at highway speeds. Sometimes. Depending on if it was windy weather or the lay of the land the road was going through. For the most part it was pretty quiet. The bag for the rack was heavy duty and easy to use. I can see why it would be difficult to use in freezing or very cold weather. It is rubberized material. It would probably crack easily if it was yanked on too hard. The tie down straps on the corner of rack were easy to use as well. I’ve seen a lot of reviews where people say if you pull them to hard they rip off the bag. This type of strap is not designed to be yanked down to hard on. It is designed to tie off the corners. The orange ratchet straps are the ones you crank down tight to keep the bag from flipping off the rack. It comes with two but I use four, two in each direction. The flaps have Velcro all the way around to keep it tight against the bag. Remember the side of the bag without the zipper is what faces front, so you don’t get water blowing into the bag. The rack was sturdy and I did not have any issues. I was loaded with about 200 lbs. The only part of the rack that I question is the assembly design. I would have made the insert part of the tube in each section of the rack a little longer for better support. The rack was assembled with a small screw and rubber washer. I would have a longer tube and a bolt with the twist knob to assemble the rack. I did not have any problems, but I replaced/modified the screw with the bolt after my last trip. I can adjust my roof cross bars to fit the rack perfectly so the rack brackets work perfectly. I line the bracket up against the edge of the cross bar so it can’t slip and the roof rack did no budge at all during the trip.

Very easy to assemble. Priced right and all the extras made it almost a steal. I’m a happy camper with this deal. Mine came with a couple small scratches but touched them up with paint and no problem. Well made, easy to load (better with 2 people). Good to have a tube of silicone sealer for joints and screws to prevent moisture and rust formation which is what they recommend.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is a very nice luggage rack and comes with a few accessories, like ratchet straps and cargo net. Easy to install and feels strong and sturdy.

Overall the rack itself is well built and seems sturdy. However the rubber gaskets that waterproof the screws are garbage. All but one of the gaskets disintegrated within 24 hours of initial assembly. I don't want water getting inside so I had to take it apart and use a siliconized gasket sealer on all the assembly joints and screw holes. One of the attachment brackets was cut wrong and is missing half an inch on two edges and somehow shipped with product. The bag is good nice big zipper and velcro and straps to make everything secure. But it has a very powerful chemical odor right out of its bag. I'd worry that the smell would infuse into anything stored in so I had to open it up outside and let it sit there overnight to air it out and still use a cleaner on it. As these are mostly cosmetic and long term care issues I only removed 1 star

Sorry for the late review has I have only just fitted it, I am really happy with the product overall I saw them in Florida last year on holiday which made buy one 👌👌👌

Clamps bend and do not support my roof rails very well. Paint scraps off easily. Nut knobs protrude above the rack.
