Perfect Camping Buddy August 25, 2007 V. Rizzotto (San Diego) The carrier was just perfect for the ice chest & firewood. It was easy to put together.

We have a class 3 hitch on a Ford Escape and bought this to keep gas cans outside of the vehicle have also hauled wheelbarrows etc. Assembly is easy and does what I bought it to do

I purchased the cargo carrier for camping gear. It's easy to put together and install. You can easily strap your gear onto the platform. There are several accessories that you can purchase to compliment the carrier such as bike racks and storage bins. The reason I didn't give a five star rating is because Lunds customer service gives you no more than lip service.
Good value for occasional use - least expensive hitch carrier of this size November 10, 2006 SDP (Duluth, GA) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This hitch carrier will work fine for basic cargo carrying; note the actual product does not include the high side-rails (which are optional). Build quality is okay, but assembly is a chore, and the hitch tube is not as rugged as I would have liked (it has thinner walls than I would have expected). Also the hitch tube is very square (the edges are not well rounded) and will not fit the receiver on one of my vehicles because of the square edges. Test the receiver tube as soon as you get it to make sure it will work for your vehicle before you go to the trouble of assembly. No hitch pin is included.
Nice cargo option November 3, 2006 badger92 (North Carolina, USA) Bought this for a recent trip of about 1000 miles round trip and it performed well. Seems sturdy and went together easily. Be sure you have a decent set of metric wrenches and/or adjustable wrenches to get some muscle into the bolt tightening when assembling it (takes less than an hour). As the other reviewer noted, the rails are sold separately but I actually didn't want them. I paired it with a Highland Rola cargo bag also sold by Amazon, which comes with straps that you can rig to this unit. Although not mentioned anywhere, I was happy to see that a few sets of holes were provided for bolting your license plate to it, as well (you'll need to supply your own bolts/nuts for that).
