Reese 60x24 Hitch Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - 500 lbs Capacity - Glossy Black
My 9 year old and I were able to assemble and install this in about an hour. The anti rattle bolt recommended in the video, and the lights, were great additions and I definitely recommend them too. Handled a 900 mile round trip around the northeast and had plenty of room to bring Xmas presents home in the Curt waterproof cargo bag.
This is a solid Cargo carrier. I was originally looking for a rooftop carrier but I came to realize that a cargo carrier is a far superior option for increased weight and size, ease of access, stability and aerodynamic. Although this one doesn't fold up, there is still adequate space to access the rear hatch on my SUV.

19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Aluminum - Folding - 500 lbs
I use this on my 2022 F250, when hauling my cab over. I was able to remove the folding part and attach it straight to my hitch to get it closer to the back of the truck. It’s light weight, decently sturdy, and easy to assemble.
This thing was not fun to put together. At all. But I got fair warning about it from the reviews. I suggest a 17mm socket bit and a drill. Plan on taking it apart a couple times so don't cinch it down tight at first. Once it is put together it's a solid unit. It'll be nice for our camping trips. The light bulky stuff that took up precious real estate can now ride outside.

Curt 60x24 Hitch Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - 500 lbs Capacity - Matte Black
Great cargo rack! Well made and strong. We modified ours to carry our ebikes on top of our generator and cooler. We've been from coast to coast with no problems.
Used it a hand full of times for camping with two different SUVs and its been great. Once over 2000 miles round trip. With the waterproof bag you can hold more gear since it goes above the side rails. Just be careful if your driveway slopes down you’ll lightly scrape the ground when backing out. And if you have a smaller suv or car make sure you center the heaviest items or it will feel it pulling back and forth on the freeway.

Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black Glossy
This rooftop cargo carrier is exactly what I wanted. Well made and super easy to install. Thank you for the fast service.
The box is big (XL), shiny and sleek. Looks great on our 2021 Subaru Ascent. It weighs about 40lbs, so I was able to simply lift it up and onto the stock Subaru cross bars by myself with a bit of effort going towards balance. Then it was just a matter of attaching the clamps by hand tightening them. I don’t think it could get any easier. The locking mechanism is very assertive and secure. The box is big and can hold just about anything you’d need on a road trip. However, on a midsize SUV like the Ascent, it seems like the perfect size, not too small, not too big. It’s a good fit. Unfortunately, my small 2 car garage is too low to accommodate the vehicle with the box in place. Overall it’s a very refined and well thought out package.

Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte Black
Excellent car top carrier (not that I've had many to compare it to). Easy to install and remove, sturdy, and fits well on our Toyota Siena. Opening it is a little tricky, as sometimes the top sticks to the bottom a bit. Adds a lot of extra storage to our car, great for when we go camping. Great experience with etrailer.
Excellent roomy cargo box. My wife’s luggage even fit (see photo). Fit the top of my Forester like it was meant to be there and the hatch opens without obstruction. Great shipping by etrailer.com via Estes freight shipping (almost overkill on shipping).

Inno Wedge 660 Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 cu ft - Gloss Black
Super easy mounting system. We like the low profile; it still fits skis and snowboards for 4 ppl no problem! Looks great on our Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. Minimal wind noise (any roof box is going to have that). We throw an old rubber yoga mat in the bottom to prevent stuff slipping inside and that works great.
Looks amazing. Little longer than I expected. But it’s amazing thank you.

Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 69" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs
I’ve got several 1400+ mile trips with this on both a 2017 4Runner and a 2023 Kia Sportage. The basket is well made, easy to install, very solid and so far rust free.
Fit my OEM Hyundai Palisade crossbars perfectly.

Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 47" Long x 35" Wide - 165 lbs
the good: strong. lots of anchor points. secure once assembled. gaps between bars are small, stuff doesn't slip through and hit my roof. reasonably priced. mounts securely. on and off relatively easily. holds a good amount of cargo. weight limit is more than my roof can handle anyway. the bad: assembly is a pain and didn't fit exactly. small rust spots developing. heavy. plastic wind deflector cracked from a rock. lots of wind noise driving at high speeds. overall. i recommend this basket. had some assembly issues because the two pieces didn't fit into each other easily, one side is slightly off-center. wish the plastic wind deflector was metal instead. i've used it several times and have no real issues with it.
I purchased this for my daughter who has a very active lifestyle. She has driven cross country and goes camping with friends. She absolutely loves this roof rack. It was easy to mount and easy to load.

It was what I expected with a feature that I didn't expect. The quick mounting clamps make it very easy to attach.
A Closer Look at the Benton ShellRaiser Roof Cargo Box on a 2023 BMW X5
Hi, Matt with Etrailer. If you have a 2023 BMW X5 and you're looking for something that's just gonna be really easy to work with, with loading and unloading from your vehicle and storing in your garage, and you want something that's gonna be perfect just for carrying a few additional items in your vehicle, then the Benton ShellRaiser roof box is gonna be a great option for you. So let's check it out. Now, I'm a big fan of roof boxes for a couple reasons. The first one being is the footprint it takes up is remaining in the footprint of your vehicle. And that's important to note compared to some hitch-mounted accessories like a hitch basket or carrier.
A Closer Look at the Inno Gear Case 720 Rooftop Cargo Box on a 2023 BMW X5
Hi, Matt with etrailer. If you have a 2023 BMW X5 and you're looking for something that's just gonna be really easy to work with, with putting on and taking off of your roof and it's gonna work great with those extra long items and really easy to store, then the Inno Gear Case 720 is gonna be a great option for you. So let's check it out. And what I really like about roof boxes is they're keeping all that additional storage space in one footprint of your vehicle, compared to a hitch basket or a cargo carrier, with one of those that's gonna extend the footprint of your vehicle taking up more space. Or if you are trying to get through those tighter areas, it's gonna be a little bit more difficult. That's why I like this is just gonna stay in one location on your vehicle.
MaxxTow Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2012 BMW X5
Today on our 2012 BMW X5, we've got the Maxx Tow 21 by 48 Aluminum Cargo Carrier out. We're doing a test fit to see how it fits the back of the vehicle here. Now you can see this is a mainly all aluminum carrier, which is going to make it extremely light. If weight's an issue for you or getting things loaded and unloaded would be a problem, this would be a really good choice. Now it still maintains a 500 pound weight capacity. It's got a full steel shank that's going to run all the way into our receiver tube. It then has the supports that come out side to side to give us our stability.
Detail K2 20x60 Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2012 BMW X5
Today on our 2012 BMW X5, we've got the Detail K2 twenty by sixty folding cargo carrier. Now this is designed for use with two inch hitches and it offers a 500 pound weight capacity. Part number on it is K2-HCC602. Now the Detail K2's going to have a nice, open mesh floor, what they call kind of an expanded steel. It's nice and smooth so we don't have to worry about any sharp edges or anything. This is going to allow, though, for a lot of that moisture, dirt and debris from some of the dirtier items you might have stacked up here to fall right down and out and not build up on the carrier. See we've got a raised edge that goes all the way around, gives us a lot of great attachment points so when we have our load on there we'll be able to get it secure, but it's also going to offer front-to-back and side-to-side stability.

It also has been designed for use with 2" hitches. Part number on it is C-1-8-1-5-0. The carrier's going to offer an expanded steel floor. Those small holes are going to work out great for allowing dirt and debris and moisture to kind of fall down and out, and not sit on the carrier and cause corrosion.
Curt 24x60 Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2012 BMW X5

Will the 23x59 Stromberg Carlson Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches Fit Your 2012 BMW X5?
Today on our 2012 BMW X5 we've got the Stromberg Carlson 23 by 60 cargo carrier out and we're doing a test fit to see how it shapes up on the back of the vehicle here. This cargo carrier, it's been designed for 2" hitches and it offers a 500 pound weight capacity. Part number on it is CC-100. You can see here we've got a larger hole expanded steel mesh. A little bit larger than what you typically see, which is good, so even those bigger chunks of dirt or mud might fall down through and out. Won't build up on the carrier. Also going to have a raised edge here on the outside of about 2-3/4".
