Review on MaxxHaul 70107 Hitch Compact Carrier by Charles Lewis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very disappointed good for handling loads

Here are the reasons why you should not buy this product: 1. The manufacturer does not allow returns and does not provide support contact information. Therefore, you must trust that their product description is true (if it is not, see below) or you will lose money.2. Bolts are a mix of SAE and metric - plan to build two sets of wrenches or multiple adjustable wrenches3. Nuts and lock washers for metric screws were missing from my box. Fancy a fun Saturday? Go in search of nuts M13.4. The negative feedback on the packaging is correct - minimal, and while mine seems fine, the box was still in poor condition (because it was flimsy) and had some cosmetic damage.5. The dimensions given are misleading. The internal measurements were correct for the outer thirds of the basket. The most commonly used or MIDDLE portion of the basket is almost an inch narrower due to the support rails and screw/washer heads. Much luck! 7. From the photos they appear to have photoshopped the exhaust pipe on this Sequoia. You heard bad reviews about the exhaust so they give you a sticker to warn you about it. For many/most SUVs you should probably expect that I modified it to protect my gear from hot exhaust. On my 4Runner, the exhaust is just a few inches from the basket. Now I have a completely useless piece of metal. I will never buy a MaxxHaul product again.

Pros
  • inner basket size: 51 x 17-1/2 x 4-1/2 inches
Cons
  • dull packaging
