Sturdy and reliable

I've loaded this with firewood and coolers, and it held up great. The aluminum frame is solid, easy to install, and the bolt attachment gives peace of mind. Highly recommend.

Great for road trips

We used this on a 2,000-mile trip. It fits our luggage and a cooler without issue. The powder coat is durable. Would be five stars if it came with a cover.

Huge capacity

I've hauled a generator and camping gear with no problems. The low load height is great, and the drainage holes prevent water pooling. Built like a tank.

Good value

On sale it's a steal. The carrier is well-made and fits my 2-inch hitch perfectly. It's a bit heavy to take on and off alone, but that's expected for something this sturdy.

Perfect for tailgating

This basket has been a game changer for tailgates. It holds everything, easy to load, and doesn't sway. We've used it twice a month for a year and it still looks new.
