Reese 60x24 Hitch Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - 500 lbs Capacity - Glossy Black
Solid carrier with plenty of room! Wow, I put this carrier to the test on a 1,600 mile road trip with our 2007 Toyota Highlander and was not disappointed. Plenty of room to store luggage for a family of four plus a load of Christmas presents. We kept everything secure and dry with the etrailer.com 20-cubic foot cargo bag and kept side movement to practically nil with the anti-rattle hitch pin. All around, the whole set up was rock solid and looked great! I highly recommend the light kit as well. With the cargo bag fully maxed out, the Highlander's taillights were blocked. And since we do a fair amount of driving at night I also added some reflective tape all around the top bar to give not only the sides some visibility, but also the back to get the attention of those not-so-attentive drivers behind me. Lastly, the kit was easy to put together; it came with spacers but I did not need them to obtain a flush assembly; the separation problem some have reported during assembly was avoided by torquing down the bolts around the nameplates before the main bar bolts, just as others have reported to have worked for them.
As others have written, I received the carrier very promptly. Packing was completely intact and carrier packaged very neatly. Assembled in 1/2 hour but I did purchase extra flat washers for larger bolts. Assembly is intuitive and straightforward. Have not used the carrier but I did "practice load" with the items I anticipate carrying and I am happy with the usefulness of the carrier. As I have a 2012 Highlander, clearance when loaded did not interfere with the tailgate nor were the taillights or licence plate obscured so I doubt I will require a light kit or tag holder. I do plan to add reflective tape to the carrier and purchase a hitch lock. So far so good. Customer service, feedback and tracking information from etrailer.com is EXCELLENT!

Stromberg Carlson 60x23 Hitch Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - 500 lbs Capacity - Matte Black
I bought this trailer to use with my 2013 highlander and it meets all my expectations. I've used it to haul a variery of equipment including a small push LAWN mower and a 350lb plug aereator and it was solid. My only complaint is it is too narrow. So far so good.
Got the CC-100 for my travel trailer along with a lockable rattle proof lock pin and 20 Cu.Ft. etrailer cargo bag.I added some reflective tape on the back and sides. Ready to roll...

GearDeck 17 Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Slide Out - 17 cu ft - 420 lbs - Black
Perfect sized box for carry sized luggage and softball game day gear. Proven space saver. Receiver is showing signs of rust otherwise would be a ten. Would buy again.
Overall it's a great box. Love how much room it has and it's easy access. Slides out so van's rear doors open completely. Brake and turn lights improve visibility. Not waterproof but generally things stay dry. A couple of minor things: hole for lock was too close to the edge and pulled out so I drilled one on each front corner (more secure) - metal stays keep sliding out. I need to glue them in. I definitely would buy again.

19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Aluminum - Folding - 500 lbs
Had few questions about a roof rack and hitch carrier they were quickly and promptly answered (both informative and a fun email!). Place an order and delighted with the products, they exceeded my expectations.
Couldn't be more pleased. prompt delivery, product as described, I had it on the back of my Highlander within an hour. The enclosed instructions aren;t extremely detailed and I used the picture more than the printed word. One word of advice for other infrequent tool handlers- Really, Really don't tighten the connections completely until all of the nuts and bolts are in place. I went back and forth a few times because I ignored this in the instructions.

Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 74" Long x 48" Wide
Very well built quality products from Yakima.
Initial quality was excellent and assembly a snap. Finding a roof basket that wouldn't look like a tiny hat on a Jeep Commander was difficult, but the MegaWarrior is perfect! Assembly and mounting took less than an hour and it looks great. Now it just needs to be outfitted with a set of off-road lights. ;-)

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 64-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Tall - 150 lbs
Simple to put together and install onto our roof rack (we own a Toyota Highlander). We loaded the roof rack fully (even more than we would have thought possible) and drove 1,300 miles (at the speed limit) and had no issues. It was easy to attach any type of strap, as the frame is sturdy.
The rack appears to be strong and made of good materials. I assembled it with no problems and mounted it to my Toyota Highlander. All in all, it took about 1 hour.

Curt 60x24 Hitch Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - 500 lbs Capacity - Matte Black
Excellent Cargo Basket. Well made. Took 20 minutes to put together ( 11 bolts ). 24 X 60 is a good size ...Love the curt products ....But wish they made it 24.5 or 25 x 60. After trying to organize my gear for a trip.... I would go with a 25 X 60 product ... lots of mid-sized coolers and totes are 24 inches like the Yetti 45 .. so it will not fit if set in front to back, has to go side to side and takes up a lot more space (more wasted space) Craftsman makes so nice totes that are made for tying down, can add a lock and stack if needed.
Hello! Quick service. Less than two days! It will give more room in my 2013 Highlander. Thanks again! G Leake

Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 44" Long x 40" Wide - 165 lbs
I recieved my order in just a couple of days. It was easy to assemble and fits as advertised. Thanks to Etrailer for their great service.
The Yakima OffGrid medium rack arrived yesterday at about 10:30 a.m. It was fully unpacked/assembled/installed by about 11:45. etrailer did a fine job of communicating/pricing/delivering and supporting this good product. I've been using Yakima products (and others) for biking, paddling, fishing etc. for about 45 years. This rack is a serious solution to a variety of uses of a roof rack. I will be able to use it on various vehicles and for a number of applications (sports, chores,travel etc.) It has more flexibility than most racks and I can't imagine a more durable, quality design. My particular needs, being in my "Dotage", are met by the ability to remove the cross bars and fairing for an open platform, or keep them on and custom fit to a spare tire, or bike rack, kayak rack etc. The attaching mechanisms drew my attention. I put this on the car with solo and with caution using a protective mat. It is very manageable and easy to fit. These mechanisms for tightening down on the crossbars bring the added value (and cost) to folks like me that don't want to spend a lot of time and effort installing a rooftop rack. I wanted secure, solid attachment with simplicity. The OffGrid delivers! No pain killers needed after the install! This "Medium" OffGrid is more than adequate for my initial uses. The internal and external dimensions are pretty much ideal for this 2017 Sienna. A full size spare tire will fit just right. A nice fit for a canoe as well. I admit to scouring the internet and considering dozens of products from baskets to platforms and this OffGrid showed a lot of promise. Its versatility and ruggedness competes with the best designs at about half the price of many. My thoughts included the extension bracket, but the medium OffGrid really does meet most of my expectations and needs for various applications. Now, to the matter of noise. There is wind noise. However, for me, it simply blends into the symphony of white noise that comes with highway travel (and the ringing in my ears) :)......Of all the racks, bikes, canoes,kayaks ladders, lumber, etc., etc. that I have carried on car tops, the wind sounds of this carrier are negligible. The fairing is a nice, well thought out feature that works well. So, my five star rating is for both the product and the vendor. Once again "eTrailer" has proven themselves to be one of the best sources of such products nationwide. Their product information efforts are an industry leader and they deserve credit for providing extremely helpful product reviews and explanations. That's what got me to choose them on this purchase. Those of us well into our "Dotage" appreciate learning all we can!

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs
Arrived very quickly . Took about an hour to put together and install on my 2004 Toyota Highlander and it looks great !!!! Very solid and doesn’t rattle at all!!

Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 47" Long x 35" Wide - 165 lbs
Great product. Easily puts together and I was able to install on our 2016 Toyota Highlander OEM roof rails with no problems. The mounting brackets slide to make for a easy fit. Have taken it on two long road trips with zero issues last summer one to the montains and one to the beach. Was able to fit our jogging stroller on in the basket. Had some heavy rain on one trip and seen no signs of water getting into the rails as that was a concern of mine when researching the different racks. The high sides allowed for easy tie downs for the weather bag we put the stroller in. Seemed to add a little road noise with nothing in it but that is to be expected when hauling things on the roof but the wind deflector seemed to keep the noise down. Easy to put on and off with a single person able to lift it. Great product, great fit for the car. Plan on using it for some more upcoming trips.
Another awesome product and smooth purchase from etrailer! Rhino Rack arrived on time for my short notice road trip and was easy to install.

Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Black
Perfect fit on my 2014 Jetta Sportwagen. Lets me accomodate my lighter weight camping gear and leave the heavier stuff in the car. Very secure and aerodynamic and had very little impact on my mileage. My only issue was I could never find the serial number on my rocketbox.
I've taken one 1500 mile trip so far with the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 mounted on my RAV4. I found the box to be quiet and not to have much impact on gas mileage. I lost maybe 1 mpg with it mounted to my flush mounted Whisperbars. I drove through some very heavy rain and had a minimal amount of water inside under a thin rubber mat I had placed on the bottom of the box; none on my luggage got wet. This box works great to give me more carrying capacity when traveling with my two crated Dobermans.

24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Tilting - Folding - 500 lbs
I love this unit! I’m an avid Camper and Jeeper. My rig has big tires including the spare that requires additional clearance. In addition to hauling my gear, I had concerns about ground clearance off roading and stability. This unit exceeded my expectations on every point! I can even open the tailgate with the unit on and it still has enough clearance to fold up when not loaded. In addition to a great product, the order was confirmed and shipped same day and on my doorstep two days later. It was pretty easy to put together but having a second person to help and fit it on the first time is helpful. Great product!

DIY Install: Flint Hill Goods 29" x 49" Carrier w/ 60" Ramp on your 2023 Toyota Highlander

Setting up the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Rooftop Cargo Box on your 2023 Toyota Highlander
Hi, Matt with etrailer, and today we we're gonna be talkin' about the Yakima Skybox NX 16 rooftop cargo box on the 2023 Toyota Highlander. Now the Highlander does have a lot of space, especially in the back hatch area over here, but if you fill it up all the way with additional people in that third row, you might be very limited on the space. So if you're hauling any gear or luggage or camping supplies, this roof box is gonna be a great option to keep your items safe, secured, and kind of outta the way so you can fit more people in your vehicle. Now you won't be able to install the the sky box if you don't have a roof rack so always make sure you have a roof rack that is compatible with your roof box.

The nice thing about this roof box is you have two handles on each side so you can access it from either side and, to open it up, you just gotta push and you'll feel it lock in place with these hinge locks on the side.
Set up: Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket on a 2023 Toyota Highlander
Hi, Matt with etrailer, and today we're gonna be talk about the Yakima SkinnyWarrior on the 2023 Toyota Highlander. Now this is gonna be a great option if you really wanna save space on the other side of your vehicle for any other accessories like bike racks or kayak carriers, for anything else that mounts up top. So that's gonna be really nice if you wanna haul a lot of longer items, like two-by-fours or you maybe have golf clubs that kind of sit up there, it's gonna be a really good spot for those to fit. And as you can see up here, our carrier's only gonna take up less than half our total crossbar, and my crossbar is about 50 inches long, so that's very nice if you need to put on any additional accessories up top. And over here, where the total height is gonna add to our system, it's gonna add just about seven inches. So that's something to be mindful if it's unloaded and you're going in to any low clearance areas, you wanna fit in like a garage.
Breakdown of the Curt Roof Basket on a 2023 Toyota Highlander
Hi, Matt with etrailer and today we're gonna be talking about a Curt roof mounted cargo basket on the 2023 Toyota Highlander.

Our basket is gonna be able to hold up to 150 pounds. Now always keep in mind if you have any additional gear in that plus the weight of your basket and your roof rack, that's gonna add additional weight to your roof so always make sure to make sure what your roof can handle. It's also gonna be constructed from steel with a black powder coat finish. That just means it's gonna be very durable and that black powder coat finish is gonna help it be more corrosion resistant.
How to Install: Flint Hill Goods Roof Cargo Basket on your 2023 Toyota Highlander
Hi, Matt with etrailer. Today we're gonna be talking about the Flint Hill Goods rooftop cargo basket on the 2023 Toyota Highlander. Now this is gonna be a great option if you can't really fit any more stuff inside the back of your vehicle or you just don't want to just 'cause maybe it's a little bit dirtier, maybe has sand, water, snow on it, then you'll be able to store that up top so it's kind of away from everything else. Our carrier's gonna be made of steel, and it's gonna have a black powder coat finish to it. So since it's made of steel it's gonna be very durable, and it's gonna make for a lot of great hook ons points even from these thinner rungs. But since it is made of steel, anywhere that like it's kind of gets scratched and that black powder coat finish comes off that's gonna make it more susceptible to corrosion.

Set up: Flint Hill Goods 22" x 49" Hitch Mounted Aluminum Cargo Carrier on a 2023 Toyota Highlander
Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2023 Toyota Highlander, we're gonna be checking out the Flint Hill Goods aluminum cargo carrier. First impressions of the carrier on the back of the Highlander, I think it's a good fit, you know, this is more of a medium-sized one compared to some of the other ones out there, but still gonna give you ample room to be able to pile a bunch of stuff up back here and you know, not have to put it on the inside Highlander. I know a lot of people use these when they're going on trips and things like that, so give you a little more breathing room on the inside. Or if you just have stuff that you don't really want to put on the inside of your car, maybe a cooler or if you're doing stuff around the house maybe you need a couple bags of mulch or dirt or anything along the lines, you know, having this is gonna allow you to put all that stuff back here and keep it outside. One thing that I like to do before going on a trip or something like that, is kinda have everything loaded up and ready to rock and roll for the next morning.
What our customers are saying:
"The hitch and the carrier came in much earlier than expected. The cargo carrier assembled in a few minutes. The hitch went on like a glove. I was very satisfied with it's quality. My salesperson was very helpful and made sure that I had the right things. Overall, I was very pleased."
