So far so good.
I just got it and used it a handful of times, but so far so good.I chose this one because it was aluminum, it was 60" wide, and had cross bars on the bottom (vs aluminum mesh on the bottom in some models). I saw other models that were cheaper, but were 50" wide, and the bottom was mesh which sagged with weight or was coming apart due to shoddy aluminum welding. This one, overall is quite sturdy and pieces are riveted together. Another nice thing with the cross bar bottom (vs mesh) is there are a number of hand holds for carrying it around, and when installed on the hitch, it's possible to slide your foot through a hole so you're not limited to just leaning over it to access stuff in the car's trunk. Another nice thing, is when installed on the hitch, there's enough space to stand between the car & carrier to access the trunk (but this might be vehicle & hitch placement dependent). The extra accessories I haven't used yet (the bag & stabilizer) but the cargo net is an elastic string netting that seems good quality, as is the tools that came with it (I was surprised & impressed with the quality of the included tools- might be seen as wasteful and extra shipping weight for someone who doesn't need the tools, but for me it was fine to have them to add to my toolbox). The carry bag looks to be of good quality, but I didn't know what to expect given the bundle, and haven't used it, I would probably be careful to avoid overfilling or abusing it. If you can use the carry bag, cargo net, and stabilizer piece- this cargo carrier doesn't end up being that much more than the cheaper carriers I saw out there. There is some set up time to put it together, but it's not bad. The one thing this doesn't do that many others do, is fold up. For me, it was not a deal breaker.I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of construction so far. The attachment bar to the hitch is steel, which adds most of the weight (which I assume is unavoidable for the strength required). I wish it had a bit of an angle upward to give it a little more clearance. The included reflectors is nice- but fyi there's nothing on the sides, so I added my own reflector stickers. The pin holding the carrier to the hitch fits easily the attachment bar & my hitch independently..but when lining up the two pieces together, the pin is difficult to get in & difficult to get out (have to hammer it out). This might be more due to my particular hitch, and the hole not perfectly lining up. But I wish the included pin was a touch narrower to make this step much easier.Overall, I'm quite happy with this carrier & accessory combo.

Great Purchase
First time buying one of these for our Acura RDX and it's been incredible. Did a lot of research on the options. Pretty much always used for road trips and camping. It's very sturdy and the bag is massive: generator, small folding tables, folding chairs, hiking packs, sleeping bags and other gear with no problem. It's been through multiple rainstorms and is absolutely 100% waterproof. Some people mentioned rusty areas after awhile, and I get what they're saying, but it's just small areas. Use some Rust-Oleum or whatever and clean those areas. What did you expect when its subjected to harsh treatment? You have to take care of your things. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Stable Large Capacity Cargo Space
Assembly directions were a little difficult to follow since none of the hardware - bolts/screws were labeled. Some holes did not line up to the size of bolt but easy to correct. Once assembled & stablizer attached- some difficulty with new hitch openings on Bronco Sport- rack rode really well. Took on 800 mile each way trip and nothing got wet or damaged. Very pleased with the carrier rack.

Should do exactly what we need it for.
Purchased to use on the rear of our fifth wheel travel trailer which is equipped with an auxiliary hitch receiver rated at 300lbs. The advertised weight of this product still gives us enough capacity for a portable generator or a folding canopy and extra folding chairs and not exceed the weight limit on the hitch. We at time need some extra cargo space and this will work for our occasional use. Especially liked that this product included straps, netting and a cover, as well as a locking hitch pin. Wanted one that folds up out of the way when parked. Assembly was quick and easy. Delivery was as promised and item arrived undamaged.

Great project for the money
The pros for this is its well made and surviving a 2000+ mile trip without any issues or even knowing it was there . The cons are that some of the hardware bolts stripped very easily but was easily remedied by a quick stop at our local hardware store for a few grade 8 nuts and bolts . I also used some extra straps for the overkill that I normally use. We went through rain and heavy at times with zero things getting wet . It fit well on our 2022 dodge Durango r/t without any problems also allows our lift gate to operate while it was attached and loaded. Great value for the money.I did not get paid or offered anything for my review.

So cool!
Gave this as a gift to my dad, he said it’s easy to assemble and seems like it will get the job done carrying his generator.

The cargo bag is great
The bag is surprisingly big but I was able to open the trunk of our Honda CRV. The bag is stiff but it will not keep the shape if empty. It is water proof. We used included straps to secure it to the carrier. We had no problems. We went over some hole and hit the road with it. We didn't notice any damage. We have not tried the net. It is a good deal for the price.

Works well, inexpensive as far as these things go.
I have used it a few times, it is sturdy, the washers could be bigger for the center section bolts, when tightening them they pull into the metal.
