FAQ

Hitch Carriers FAQ

General Compatibility & Installation

Q: What vehicles are compatible with the hitch cargo carrier?
A: The cargo carrier fits vehicles with a 2" hitch receiver. Always verify that your vehicle’s hitch class and weight capacity support the carrier.

Q: Can the cargo carrier be used with a hitch extender?
A: Yes, as long as the hitch extender is rated for the appropriate weight capacity and does not compromise stability.

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.

Q: Does the cargo carrier block the rearview camera?
A: It may partially obstruct visibility depending on your vehicle and the cargo being carried. Always check after installation and adjust if needed.

This was the best !! it stored so much i barely needed to pach the car !!

What you're getting here is a large rubber storage bag, ratchet straps, plastic buckle straps, a mat, and a carry case. I was initially pretty excited about this, but my enthusiasm died somewhat when this arrived.Let's start with the rubber storage bag. This is the meat and potatoes of what you're getting. This gives you a great waterproof way to transport your stuff when you've run out of room in the car. This is great, no complaints here.The plastic buckle straps have me a little nervous. I'm reluctant to trust cinching these plastic buckles down and head down the highway at 80 MPH. I imagine that most people aren't planning to use just the plastic buckles.This brings us to the ratchet straps. I would much rather use these instead or in tandem with the buckle straps. My concern here is that there no weight limit listed for these ratchet straps. This is not noted anywhere in the product listing or in the packaging. Even ratchet straps from harbor freight tell you what their test is.Lastly, I don't believe that the perforated mesh mat is doing anything to save the roof of your car. It's thin, and honestly I'm not willing to risk it.For me, this product has its place, and that place is in the bed of a truck or in a trailer. This needs to be somewhere safe where it can't fly off the roof of a car.

There's a bit of a learning curve to setting this thing up, but everything you need is included in the box, except for good instructions I suppose. The padded protective mat fit well on a smaller SUV, although the only thing to hold it down is whatever weight you have in the cargo bag; I would've liked to see some velcro straps or some attachment method for the mat as well, but it didn't give me any problems when driving. The cargo bag is very thick TPU material with strong zippers that that unzip about 2/3s of the bag which makes for easy packing. The zippers are covered by velcro flaps which are necessary to keep water out and there's 4 strong handles that make getting it on top of your truck fairly easy.It comes with more straps than you'll need for the 3 pairs of tie down points and both the ratcheting straps and door hooks are strong. The S-hooks on the ratcheting straps didn't quite fit around my cargo rails but they made it around enough for the bag to be secure when tightened down. Because of this I also chose to use the door hooks at the front and rear of the bag. All of the webbing and hardware is strong and nothing came unhooked or even shifted around on my test run, so I'm pretty confident it'll be good on an upcoming trip. Overall, it's a nice cargo bag and works out for me as a cheaper solution than renting a U-Haul and having a hitch installed, so I'm pretty happy with it in general and think it'll work out well.

I ordered this soft-sided car rooftop bag over other ones because I don't have roof rails on my car. This bag allows me to still have the luxury of extra storage on my roof, even without having roof rails.The material used is thick and heavyweight enough to be weatherproof so I can have peace of mind knowing that the items I put in it will stay dry, no matter what kind of weather I run into on the road. The straps are strong and I appreciate the ratchet mechanism for tightening the straps, and quick release when I get home and unload. And the items I pack in it are easily accessible when I'm on the road.Plus I can fold it up and stash it alway when I'm not using it.I recently used this cargo bag on a 3000-mile road trip. The photo pretty much sums up the durability of it. And that was only halfway through the trip. I ended up buying thick flex tape to try and cover the ripped sections and a box of heavy duty plastic bags to put my stuff in, just in case the tape didn't work.

We are headed on a 3 week expedition to the desert and wanted a rooftop carrier for our sleeping bags, inflatable mattress and tent. This carrier is much heavier and stronger that I could have imagined! We have run rivers and the material that this is made of reminds me of those super strong rafts.They have thought of everything and included it in this kit with straps, adjustable straps, a piece to protect the top of your vehicle and a lock. The zipper is heavy duty, operates easily and has a flap to protect it from the weather. This is a definite yes to anyone considering a rooftop carrier.

We drove 5 days across the country, through snow, sleet and rain, and it didn't move. We flew back hone, packed it in a suitcase and no problems.

This cargo bag has been a great choice so far. It can hold one large suitcase, two carry-on sizes, and a duffle bag.

It can fit a lot of camping gear. We can fit blankets, 2 queen airbeds and a 6 person tent. We are a family with 5. Let's see how long-lasting it is.

This roof carrier was used for the first time by us on a recent camping trip. It was incredible how much more comfortable we were able to travel to the campground with so much of our luggage/supplies on the roof. Despite some severe storms, the bag did not get soaked. We read reviews about water getting into cars through the straps. So, we removed the straps from .... and we are very happy with our first use. We don't have a roof rack so we were limited in the choices of carriers we could choose from. However, I believe we made the right choice with this carrier.

I needed extra storage for family camping trips,but didn't want to buy an expensive hard shell roof storage. This product provided exactly what i needed for a fraction of the cost. The day we left for our first trip it of course rained so we got to test out how waterproof the product really was. The contents of the storage bag stayed completely dry the product claimed. The bag is also very well made with heavy-duty materials. I had to get creative with the straps since I don't have a roof rack, but it still no complaints.

It was a great product! It was simple to use and pack. We loved the Velcro to hide the zipper. It is difficult to zip the corners, so take your time.

We use this on our trip to east coast, it last the whole 15 hours drive with rains and wind. Sturdy and rainproof well. I would like it to be bigger though but for that price, I couldn't complaint too much.

Took this across the country from NC to WA. It rained almost all the way through to the first day of travel and everything stayed dry. I was pleasantly surprised especially since this bag was so affordable!

Do not buy. 1st use, multiple holes after 10hr drive. Had to stop to re-tie this 11 times in 1st 3 hrs of travel.

We were so excited to receive this storage compartment but we're so upset when not even 3 hours into our trip it was tearing all over the place. We had even duck taped it on the way back and water came in the new tears and soaked all of our things :(. Definitely not worth trying out if you want something super durable. Maybe it would have worked at slower speeds and not highway driving. We filled it up too so not sure why it tore so much. We returned with no issues thankfully.

D
Disappointed

This is perfect and big enough to put lots of things in it and it holds really good. Excellent product

Got to use this for one trip from Texas to Florida and the zipper got stuck and completely broke. Then wasted an hour of our time to not fix it and throw it in trash.

For the price, it was better quality than I expected. The material is extremely thick and holds up well.
