FAQ

Hitch Carriers FAQ

General Compatibility & Installation

A: Yes, as long as the hitch receiver meets the required weight capacity. Always double-check your vehicle’s specifications.

Q: Can the hitch carrier be attached to a tow ball?

Safety & Security

Q: How does the hitch stabilizer & lock system enhance safety?
A: The hitch stabilizer minimizes wobbling and movement, while the hitch lock prevents theft by securing the carrier to the vehicle.

Q: Will dual exhaust pose a fire hazard?
A: The heavy-duty steel withstands high temperatures, but it is recommended to maintain a safe distance from the exhaust to prevent heat exposure.

A: It may partially obstruct visibility depending on your vehicle and the cargo being carried. Always check after installation and adjust if needed.

Lightweight but very sturdy. Easy to assemble. Will update this review after my travel is complete! TX to AZ, here we go!!!

I can get the front to sit nicely flush on the crossmembers, but the back won't sit on the cross members between the bars. I could probably rig it to work or take the extension out of the middle, but that won't work with the back size. Won't work for my needs so I returned.

The rack worked great. The waterproof bag however cracked and ripped with less than an hour of use with suitcases inside. I wrote email asking for bag to be replaced, sent photos and received notice that I'd receive a response within 6 hours and nothing! No new bag, no discount, no response.

The bars are made of heavy steel with a very nice coating. It is nice that the length is adjustable. Assembly was not easy due to a manufacturing defect. Assembly requires that the sections fit into each other. I tried for 30 minutes to get a section together; then I noticed there was a burr inside one tube that prevented assembly. I am glad that I work with tools often, and so I had just the right (large--1/2 twist bit) I could use to drill out that tube and remove the burr (see photo). The manufactuers quality control failed. It is also very difficult the use the cheap little screws that ultimately hold the rack together. You have to make sure the screw holes are lined up properly, but even then there is a lot of resistance. I started screwing them with my 20v drill using a 4" #2 Phillips bit, but when I felt the resistance I switched to a manual screwdriver because I was concerned about stripping the screw head with the very powerful DeWalt drill. But the amount of torque required to get the screws to go in was very frustrating. After 6 screws, my hands were hurting so I went back to using the drill, being careful to put as much downward pressure on the screw as I could, to prevent cam-out. Overall, assembly was a frustrating and exhausting experience. I took a photo of the bad tube but it would not load--probably too high resolution.

Handled all the family luggage for a 14 hr road trip, leaving us all plenty of room in the car. Very strong, sturdy, and weatherproof.The included lock is a little cheap, but I have dozens of better ones so it wasn't a big deal.

Got us cross country in the US successfully- and even a little more. Traveled in sun, storms and rain just fine. Waterproofing seems to work. Stays secure on dirt roads. Bug shield is a nice touch. Easy to remove when you're not using it and doesn't take much storage space either. The build quality is sturdy, and the rachet straps all work well. Big tip is to rachet long ways instead of across- it reduced noise and wind. Noise is actually less prominent with the rack and bag on, it wasn't crazy noticeable.We use detachable cross bars so we can remove the rack and cross bars at once. It's nice that this kit came with everything we needed. Initial setup took longer but once it was as we liked it, it's easy to take on or off.The bag is HUGE (probably could have fit weeks worth of gear) and the rack is adjustable as advertised. We used ours on a Honda Pilot and were able to expand it all the way even with our trunk open and moonroof up (if we wanted to).Great value for the money, if you're looking for good quality but not spending Thule money this is it.

This was great on our 2016 Highlander. Tons of space for a 2k plus mile road trip. Several heavy rain storms and no leaks! I could see how if it wasn't more full and the zipper sides were not vertical how it might let water in. The zipper seemed higher quality than expected. There was some rust on the rack when we opened it but it mostly wiped off. Great value for the price.

The bag ripped 200 miles into our road trip. We bought some heavy duty duct tape and were able to patch it and didn't have any other problems the rest of the trip. The rack is great.

This thing is huge!! At full length it will hold (6) 27 gallon totes. It fits on my 22 Subaru Forester at full length...Barely. The Cargo bag is very harder. It endured 4 hours of driving rain and everything stayed dry. It was easy to install on the existing rails. Definitely Happy with this purchase.

I love this product! The zippers are awesome, bag is truly waterproof, and the look is great. We put it on Yakima Crossbars on a -˜25 Ford Explorer Active and had no problems, no whistle or noise issues, and no assembly issues. They provide you with everything you need!

Fabulous rooftop storage. Difficult to reach for shorter folk with tall SUVs! Took on a trip from north Texas to north Michigan and it held up well. I'm not sure how to get all the dead bugs off the front of it, though.

The product was okay but it did come missing items like the lock, the mat and others. I believe it's a lot for that priceAlso it was noisy during my trip carrying it

I installed this unit on my camperized van and it proved to be the perfect extra storage space for us. A couple of people saw it and asked where they could get it. Very happy with this purchase

Easy to assemble, only issue was the rubber knobs that go over top os the star wheel tightening knob, to protect the threads on the securing bolt. Well, The hole inside the rubber is too large and will not perform as designed, normally with a design that a rubber knob is to fit snugly over a treaded bolt to add protection, the hole in the rubber is smaller than the bolt diameter, but in my unit the holes in the rubber are to large and I was unable to secure the rubber over the threaded bolt. I've not yet loaded my carrier yet and go on a road triup...soon though. Recommend that you Perform a safety check, verify all is secure, and BEFORE you load the carrier with your valuables , go out on the highway to verify your unit stays in place, the nosie level is higher without a load, once you complete your "Shakedown", retighten the 8 handwheels (if needed). once the unit is loaded out and you're on the road or Highway, there will be some noise but not as loud as an empty carrier makes.

At first I was a little hesitant on getting a cargo basket for the roof but boy did this basket put in work. Did great for 16 hour round trip road trip. It did make a little noise. Also one of the bolts broke when tightening it. But after I replaced it all work worked out. Definitely recommend this

The Mockins Extendable Roof Rack Basket and Carrier Bag is a great investment! Assembly was easy-everything fit as expected, and all I needed was a large Phillips head screwdriver.To avoid scratching my Subaru Ascent, I had another person help lift the basket while I stood on a 2-step ladder to guide it into place. The longest part of installation was adjusting the car's preassembled crossbars to align with the Mockins basket, then re-lifting the basket for a snug fit before tightening everything down. Once secured, it felt rock solid.The included carrier bag, as thick as a kid's pool liner, offers excellent weather protection and improves aerodynamics by reducing drag, making road trips smoother and more efficient.The clamp parts that attach the basket to the crossbars, though capped with rubber, still stick up slightly. Be mindful of how you stack-especially gear that ends up beneath heavier items, as the clamp parts could puncture it under pressure, tight strapping, or highway speeds.Mockins' customer service was also prompt, courteous, and incredibly helpful-answering all my questions quickly and ensuring a smooth experience from purchase to installation. Highly recommend for a sturdy, adjustable, and reliable roof rack!

This thing is awesome going to Disney world, has enough space to put stuff on top of the car rather than taking up precious space in the car., and comes with a dry bag and straps, 🤯 one stop shop, don't pass this one up!!!!

I ordered this for a trip to Mexico (16+ hr drive) back in August of 2024.The bag ripped from the seems when we tried closing it before taking off, we were transporting a TV and we knew there would be rain which is why the bag was needed. Everything else has been durable, we have taken 3 more trips and the Roof mount is still great and installed on my Ford. Great for sports equipment!
