Out of the box and put together in under 30 minutes. Very sturdy and it folds so neatly when not in use. Fits perfectly behind my motorhome.

I wanted a cargo carrier for our full-sized SUV (Chevy Tahoe) in order to be able to carry extra items that don't fit in inside the back of our car. I mainly use this cargo carrier for transporting our bikes. The reason why I didn't get a specific carrier design only for bikes, is that I wanted it to be versatile so I can use it for bikes and also other things I may need to use it for (i.e. boxes, ice, chest, camping, etc.). As it turns out, it works great for bicycles! I'm able to fit two adult mountain bikes and one youth bike in it seamlessly. I like the added feature of this cargo carrier that allows you to open up the side gates. If I'm transporting bikes, I open one side of the cargo so that the entire bike can fit on it flat. I just make sure I secure the bikes pretty good with some cables, and it's good to go! It's very simple to connect the cargo to the hitch on my Chevy Tahoe. The first couple of times, it took me about 20 minutes. But now, I can get it done in less than 5 minutes. This cargo carrier is built pretty solid and is reliable.

We purchased this for a 2016 Acura MDX with an installed OEM heavy duty trailer hitch. Our MDX also has OEM roof rails and cross bars but these can only support up to 200 lbs and I wouldn't put over 100 lbs up there as rough roads may cause issues with the roof supports. This was a better solution for bulkier/heavier items too big for the interior. We have used this multiple times for vacations and moving larger items around. Overall assembly took around 20 minutes mainly due to size/weight. I would recommend assembling in the garage or driveway. Materials are very sturdy and thick metal. Fasteners are solid and well made. Instructions were easy enough to follow. Installation/Removal is best done with 2 people but can be done alone if careful ( I would recommend a jack stand to help with). I bought a large wrench/socket to help loosen/tighten the retaining bolt to the trailer hitch. There are NO safety chains to attach. The pin/bolt are not attached so be careful where you place the clip when raising/lowering the platform. When lowered access to the MDX's rear hatch is easy with plenty of clearance. The package comes with a stabilizer plate and U bolt which I would use for heavier loads (this will increase your install time of course). You cannot open the MDX's rear hatch with the platform raised (with the sides retracted) as there isn't enough clearance, easy enough to lower the platform and raise as needed, just remember to put the pin into the correct hole when the platform is raised.I have used this in the rain (with a tarp and bungee cords) and it worked well, nothing got wet. Size is perfect for an oversized cooler and a couple of larger boxes to secure heavy/bulky items. I have hauled end tables and smaller appliances. I would use the included stabilizer plate on loads over 200 lbs as the tongue bolt is on the rear hole and it fits into the hitch only a few inches, it does not extend beyond the hitch opening under the car. Sides are easy enough to raise and lower with the snap pins and this makes loading super easy. Visibility isn't impacting by the carrier at all, depends on what you put in it. This does freak out the backup sensors and when reversing your visibility is considered to be gone, even empty it is mostly blocked. Remember what your total load capacity is and the hitches tongue weight limits. When going down the road and hitting a bump or dip your weight down-force will be slightly multiplied so avoid the stated max weights. This impacted MPG but I believe it was more weight than aerodynamics. Due to being able to put on/take off relatively quickly this expands the utility of your SUV/car greatly. Remember your vehicle's length will change when using this and reduced visibility/sensors for backing up. I would recommend this and wish I had gotten one sooner!

It is useful and as promised though it was slightly out of alignment with car end because of slightly bend end, regret as I needed to do a lot of try and error till I fixed it with some metal panel inserted in between!!

Update: made it across the US over 2000 miles. Began sagging and swaying which resulted in a bolt being worn down. Might have been catastrophic if I drove the country twice, but it did make it over 2000 miles with 100-200 pounds so I only downgraded one star to 4. Overall it is satisfactory quality for the price. I wouldn't call it heavy duty but for local moves only or light cross country loads with the caveat you better watch it. I tied a rope to my roof rack to minimize side to side swaying on bumps. Welds held. Will need to replace a bolt and see how I can get a product to raise it higher on my SUV for the future. If you don't have a high truck, I do suggest buying one of those Curt raisers.Overall I am happy with the purchase so far.Pros: promptly delivered, well packaged, new item, side rails are taller than other products, many positive reviews, reasonably inexpensive, I drove around town with it on in the flat position and had absolutely zero issues, no rattle even without stabilizer I could hear, hardware seems adequate (contrary to reviews on here), I didn't get any defects in manufacturing I'm aware of, overall initial quality seems fair for the priceCons: no directions, came with several parts it doesn't seem like are needed, not able to figure out how it folds up so far, brand on the box and the item is different than what is shown on Amazon, general Chinese sketchiness such as no directions and some very negative reviews, install video isn't close up, have to use your intuition, will need a socket wrench to take it off, install is much easier with two people, does scratch easily and may rust easily to people's point on here, doesn't seem like the 400 pound limit is probably accurate (I don't plan on putting more than 100-200)
