Rusted after a day of use.

Overall not bad for size and price. Rusted on all welds after one day; although it was raining heavily. Read in a static tone. Just a bad ending; Primer. The wire mesh floor is not very good. This is not expanded metal, but welded wire. Several welds were broken upon arrival. At my factory, this clutch wobbles a lot. I highly recommend buying Anti Rattle Hitch Tightener. The best color would get this 4 stars and the best mesh would get 5 stars.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Expensive

Powerful, gets the job done.

Heavy duty, instructions a bit difficult to follow, special tools required to tighten locking screws. It took me several hours to assemble. Once in the car, was very happy with it. I got my stuff safely from Cali to Colorado. The side rails were high, it felt like my drawers were protected. My only problem is that the basket falls off when I go over a dip in the road. I drive a Ford Escape. Didn't do him any harm, but he makes a pretty raspy sound! I also have a "rattle" clutch pin that fits…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Travel friendly and durable

I bought this carrier for a trip which is around 16 hours one way. I was nervous going that far with my carry on suitcases. We tied her up and it worked. It was easy to assemble and felt solid. As others have recommended a clutch tensioner. I think otherwise it would be noisy. I liked higher ribs on the holder which was one of the main reasons I went with this one. This made it easier to secure the suitcases. Others said that the trunk would straighten or sink to the ground. I used it on a 2014

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Not as thick as other models

Easy to assemble. works well.

Pretty easy to assemble. When I first opened the box, to be honest, the screw pack was torn, leaving all the washers, nuts, screws, etc. unsecured and flying around the box in transit. There were also 4 cut zippers in the box which tells me someone has opened it before. I was expecting to lose parts BUT I didn't have any lost parts, in fact I had extra washers. Nuts are locknuts, which I like because I usually substitute locknuts for standard nuts on items like this. Despite its good solid…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Quality product on racks

Worked great on our 2016 Kia Sorento for a 3400 mile trip. I highly recommend getting an S hitch to get it off the ground better. Exiting the sloping parking lot onto the street we scraped the floor many times. Because of this, the cap covering the hole immediately came off and we lost it. Also, it is ground shipping and the package has been opened. We lost the bolts for it. We were on a trip and had to run to the hardware store to get a replacement. Everything was fine but I wish the delivery…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Secret

Love this carrier

I absolutely love this carrier! It arrived quickly and in great shape. I opened the box, got all the parts ready and dismantled the fittings. I suggest a set of sockets and a battery-powered drill or hammer (I saw another statement saying to use needlenose pliers and an adjustable wrench. Hmm, NO). After laying out the parts for 3 or 4 minutes, it only took me 15 minutes to fully assemble the block and recheck each bolt. It couldn't be much easier. I also saw a review that said it requires 2 or

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • There are cons

Well designed, easy to assemble!

After I sold my Toyota Tacoma pickup and inherited my wife's Toyota 4Runner after she got her new car, I faced the problem of how I would transport garbage, yard waste and garden maintenance equipment with 4Runner since I I don't have a truck anymore. There was no way I would soil and stink my wife's favorite 4Runner. The solution was to use the 4Runner's drawbar. I researched all types of hitches but finally settled on the MaxxHaul Steel Folding Rack 70103. It was inexpensive, the dimensions…

Pros
  • Decent Performance
Cons
  • Protection
