KAIRAY 500 Lbs Heavy Duty Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier 60"x24"x14.4" Folding Rear Luggage Rack Basket Fits 2" Receiver for Car SUV Camping Traveling with Stablizer Waterproof Bag Net Ratchet Straps Lock

I like this thing more than I expected.It's about as sturdy as you'd want it to be, because any more and it would be too heavy to move around and install/remove, any less and it would be too light duty. The instructions were worthless, but it was easy to assemble. There is some spring/bolt thingy that I have NO idea how it could possibly have a function, but it seemed to be an extra anyway, because everything else necessary to put it together and install was there. It doesn't come with a hitch pin, though, just a bolt that you have to use tools to tighten. So if you want it to be a bit easier to install, buy a separate hitch pin. To make it less wobbly, it has this bent plate that tightens against the bottom of your receiver tube, and that DOES require an 18mm wrench to tighten/loosen every time you install/remove this cargo carrier, so just know that if you want to remove it when you get to your location, take an 18mm wrench with you. You could probably drive without the tension plate installed, but it will definitely wiggle around more.I love that the gate sides fold up so it's as flat as possible when storing.The bag is quite large. It fills the entire thing, plus sticks out the top about a foot. I easily put 6 large sleeping bags, 4 thick "Therma-Rest" style sleeping pads, two cots, 3 adult pairs of boots, and a small backpack, and I had still had some room at the top where I could have put more small items.With our 2015 Toyota Highlander, you can still open the rear lift hatch with the cargo carrier installed. If it's super overloaded, the door might hit the cargo you loaded unless you keep it to the backside, but with a medium load it's not a problem. However, my friend's Yukon could NOT open the rear lift hatch with the carrier installed, let alone with cargo, so it depends on your vehicle's shape, I guess.We also own a rooftop cargo carrier. This has been so much easier to install, load, and use than the rooftop carrier, and as an added bonus, it doesn't seem to affect gas mileage at all. And double bonus, the hard-shell rooftop carrier is limited to what fits with it still being able to close. This hitch carrier can be loaded as much as you can strap onto it, so if you need just a bit more room and have enough straps or rope, knock yourself out.In conclusion, yes, this thing was GREAT for the price. I love it.

I bought this rack to give us extra space for gear when heading to the beach. The soft box that came with it is actually water tight. We just drove back in the rain and everything in the bag stayed dry. The material reminds me of the yellow rubberized rain coats when had as kids in the 70's. It has a very good zipper plus Velcro strips to keep it closed. The straps fasten easily to the raised rail and keep it secure.It does come with other tie down straps to use when not using the provided bag. We did not use them, but they seem to be of good quality and are very similar to what i already have for securing things like our kayaks in the truck bed.The welds appear to be quality and it was light enough for me to carry into our hotel room so it could be removed and not be in the way at the beach. The separation from the back of my jeep gladiator was large enough that the tail gate could be lowered with the rack full of gear. Very surprising feature from my point of view.It went together easily, but the one thing to remember is to bring the wrench you use to secure the anti rattle bracket with you if you want to remove it.I have had several similar racks in the past, and this one seems to on of the best built and designed. The raised rail around the base is a big plus.I would definitely buy this product again and will recommend it to others.I would suggest they update their manual to show how to use thread the straps through the connectors. I knew how to do it because I have used these types of straps before, to others with less experience, they could be difficult to properly thread. A quick Google does provide good answers on how to thread them.

Great cargo carrier. Easy to assemble and the fold up and opening sides are very convienient.

Purchased this for a recent move since I got rid of my truck. Now that I drive an SUV, we were missing some of the storage space and since we were moving to another state, we need a little more storage space. It is fairly easy to build, attach, and operate. The instructions are in broken English transliterated from Chinese, but still could figure it out. I rated it 4 stars isn't because it is missing one of the side wall latches, which I was able to improvise with a bungee cable. The storage bag is waterproof, which was tested by the rain during our move, and holds 3 big suitcases comfortably. We used a different lock from the cheap combination lock provided and it's no problem to use your own padlock on the zipper.Attachment to your tow hitch is pretty easy, but no matter how much I tried, I could not get it to be level and looking at it from behind while both empty or full, it was lower on one side.In summary, this made it possible to bring everything we needed to bring and couldn't pack away in the moving truck with us during our interstate move with very little difficulty or concern. Looking forward to using it in future adventures such as camping and hunting trips.

This was the best value I could find. Everything fit and worked well. I have had this rack for over a year now and it’s holding up well. It’s stored outdoors and shows no sign of rust or damage. We have taken this on long trips a number of times, it’s sturdy and fits well with our Armada and our old Odyssey. The cover is great to have, it’s kept our luggage nice and dry.

this basket for your vehicle was just what we needed for traveling. very well made and turdy. i loved that is had a waterproof back with it and the straps. highly recommend. .

Will work, but after pretty easy assembly the first time I folded the surround basket one of the spring pin's ring broke off. To my surprise this pin doesn't have an item number on the parts list.

Solid construction and easy assembly. I love the multiple options for transport.
