As a Viner, I normally never review things that I actually buy out of my own pocket. But, I'm reviewing this one because it answers questions I had but could never find the answer to.

Ok, the most important one. Will the exhaust from a 2021 Rav4 cause any boxes like cardboard, or plastic box, to get hot or catch on fire? And, the resounding answer is NO! We traveled 1130 miles one way to Canada with a LOT of stuff on the back. We had large plastic storage boxes, and cardboard boxes on top of that. We strapped them all down with bungee cords. And, nothing melted or caught on fire. We would periodically check out the boxes in the back at rest stops, and the boxes all felt cool / cold to the touch. I have a 11" sandal / slide to measure the exhaust to the hitch one on of my pics. And, at that distance, everything was safe.

On the drive back a few months later, though, we had just some cardboard boxes. We left all of our plastic storage bins up in Canada. And, one thing to not about this hitch is that in wet roads, whatever is in the back there WILL get wet on the under side. However, if you're driving at speed in the rain. The top will not get, because of the drafting effect. Although, the sides of the boxes may get wet. So, if you can, use plastic boxes instead.

All in all, this is a GREAT hitch carrier that extends your carrying space. We brought up so much junk with us to Canada, that we needed this hitch to carry everything with us. It's LIGHT. It's STURDY. It's EASY to put together. And, the best thing is, it's way better for your fuel economy than a roof cargo carrier. Those things absolutely kill your fuel economy by adding lots of drag. This hitch carrier with about 100 lbs loaded didn't do anything to our fuel economy. It was the same as it every was.

Absolutely, whole heartedly recommend it.

Easy assembly, looks sturdy and light. Also easy to modify to make it work better. 👍

Good quality, working as it should . Leaves the back of my midsize suv clear.

I had no problem assembling it. Everything lined up fine. I had taken somebody else’s advice on a review and installed eight stainless steel 3 inch corner brackets riveted with stainless steel rivets to protect the corners that are made of plastic ,looks great on the truck and at this point in time I can’t see any issues that it should have. I’d buy it again and recommend it. It is also very lightweight easy to handle.

This product will work great for what I need it for , lightweight, well built and hauls my coolers so it leaves room in the back of my Toyota forerunner

I was hauling the fuel for lawn mowers in the back of my SUV. The fuel smell in my vehicle was overwhelming, even though the caps were on the containers. After much research I decided to try a cargo carrier. My grandson advised me to get the aluminum one because it is not as heavy to install or remove since I was only using it once a week.

The instructions were easy to follow and I was able to put the carrier together by myself. It fit perfectly into the car hitch. The included stabilizer was easy to use, install.

No more fuel smell inside my car. The carrier is sturdy, looks great and the price was great. Does not rust and exceeded my expectations when hauling fuel. Held 3 cans easily.

This fit my needs perfectly.

I looked for an all-in-one cargo box that was hitch mounted. After seeing units that go for $2000 I was determined to find another way. I bought this rack and a box and some heavy duty cargo straps and did it for $300.

This wrack is lightweight aluminum but feels very substantial. It takes an hour to assemble but that process is fairly straightforward. Because it is fairly lightweight I got it connected to my hitch receiver without any problems, and I’m a broken-down 70 year old. It works great on the back of our Scamp travel trailer!

Seems to be a quality product. It sure looks very nice. Only time will tell how well it hold up and if it supports the rated max weight of 500 pounds. It went together very quite easily (lots of little bolts and nuts). All of the parts and bolts etc., were there. Took an hour or so to put together finishing with a small socket set and power drill. It is much lighter than my old steel one. Looking forward to traveling with it. I would recommend it.

Quedó perfecto, tenía mis dudas por el tamaño de mi camioneta pero le quedó excelente.

ottimo

La verdad es que sorprendentemente es resistente y firme. Yo me tomé la libertad de abrir un agujero al principio de la barra ya que el portón de mi Ford Ranger chocaba con el remolque al abrirlo. Fácil de montar y fácil de poner y quitar.

It’s lightweight, easy to assemble (Im a female but able to assemble it without help). Highly recommend. We also boughtvthe MauxHaul Cargo Carrier Bag with this, its a very perfect combination!

وزنها خفيف ولكن تركيبها يحتاج وقت لكثرة القطع ودليل التركيب غير واضح لذلك استعنت باليوتيوب في التركيب سعرها يتراوح بين ١٤٠٠ الى٥٠٠ درهم اثناء العروض انصح بها
