Mockins 64"x39"x6" Heavy Duty Roof Rack Basket w/ 16 Cu.Ft. Car Rooftop Cargo Carrier Bag | Weatherproof, Extendable 250Lbs. Roof Basket Cargo Carrier for Top of Vehicle Set & Roof Bag w/Accessories

I did a bunch of research and looked at a variety of cargo carriers- roof mounted, hitch mounted, etc. I also scrutinized the closest comparable products from Oklead and others. The reason I selected the Mockins hitch mounted cargo carrier is because it offered the best value on paper. It included the well advertised accessories like straps, hitch stabilizer, waterproof cargo bag. It all works great. Pretty easy to assemble, though an extra set of arms would be best to attach to hitch. Super sturdy, easy drive and I tested the drive on back roads and highways. Secures well. Terrific package.One disclaimer unrelated to this product- I added an after market Curt hitch mount to my Equinox and it does ride lower to the ground than I’d like. So those speed bumps at campgrounds knocked the bottom of the hitch while driving to my site.Still, the Mockins hitch mount Cargo Carrier works really well for. Allowed for additional cargo, opened up space in the car and I felt confidence driving with the new ingredient.Perhaps the best part of this transaction was Ingrid from Mockins customer support. Had a little mix up with a part. She was incredibly accessible, responsive and communicative. And the small problem I encountered was solved. She should get a raise because it’s hard to find user friendly support like she offered. She was personable and worked with urgency. Like my problem mattered to her. Love that.I love this product and company. I’ll buy more from them based on my experience with the quality of the product I purchase and the after hours support I needed.

We've used this car-top carrier for a couple of years now. It's sturdy and easy to install every time. It's easily the best purchase I've made for our family road trips.Also, the customer service is truly outstanding. I lost one of the plastic spacers/fixators last week and emailed Mockins customer service about a replacement. They responded within minutes and sent me a new one immediately.Mockins is all around an incredible company. I can't recommend their products enough!

I've been wanting a cargo tray like this for a while. It was fairly easy to put together. The side rails didn't exactly line up, but it was easy to bend them back in place to make the tray walls line up suing a few taps of a rubber hammer. I don't foresee that being a problem.This one was installed on a Subaru Outback which has an aftermarket trailer hitch (Hidden Hitch). I was pleased that when fully packed the rear door opened just fine. The vehicle handled well with this thing loaded down even. I was a bit worried as the rated tongue weight is about 250lbs, and this cargo rack is fairly heavy. Ideally, I would buy a much lighter rack (made of aluminum? carbon fiber? plastic? Fancy THULE or Yakima? I dunno what's out there on the market...), but at the price point, I'll gladly settle for a heavier one. That being said, yo are advised to make sure you know your vehicle's rating and to pack accordingly.It's definitely a bit of a hassle to zip the bag closed and secure it with straps, but for the piece of mind definitely worth it to do a good job securing it down well. I only used it once so far so cannot comment on durability or weather resistance. I imagine the bag will eventually wear out, but it does seem quite sturdy and made with thick material. It held water on the inside since we packed our wet inflatable kayak in it, so I suspect it would be quite waterproof in a heavy precipitation.It's a hassle to fold it up/down, and folding it up does block my rear door, so it's mostly going to just be an on/off thing. Getting the hitch lock on was difficult, but that might vary depending on what kind of hitch you install it on. the rubber rings on the hitch lock were just a bit too thick for me, but with some work, I can get it on. Definitely a good idea to use the hitch stabilizer plate.Overall, I definitely recommend this product. I imagine most are similar at this price point though, but don't know for sure. I bought this one mostly because it came with the bag and straps, etc.Pros:- good price- lots of accessories- works well,- quality, sturdy buildCons:- heavy- a bit tricky to work with a bag and zipper, a solid plastic box would be easier to deal with but that would have its own cons as well
