Product was as described and perfect addition to vehicle for traveling and vacation. Fit all items securely and kept them safe and dry. Added bonus of being able to strap items and store in bag and lock for security! Absolutely love and would recommend to anyone 10/10!

Me encantó el producto! Sencillo de armar y súper útil para todo!! Lo único es que su candado no funciona pero la verdad es lo de menos!

Easy to install and very spacious. I packed one Tupperware tote, 4 small hardshell suitcases, 2 sleeping bags, 2 life jackets and a stack of towels! I could have packed more but I didn’t want to cover my vehicles back-up camera. The orange rachet-straps were something I added for my own paranoia…the included bag straps were more than adequate! We travelled 1700km and had no issues at all.

Looked at a fee competitors and one common issue was sturdiness and wobble. This one fit perfectly. Easy to assemble. No wobble or shaking while driving. It came with an extra stabilizer but didnt need it. I loaded it up with about 200lbs and no issues. Cover is also very sturdy and completely airtight. Kept everything dry even though it poured for hours.

For the price of just the cargo holder at local stores you get the bag, straps, locking pin and it swivels up when not in use! Instructions were easy to follow and it’s very sturdy. The cargo bag is huge and allows for plenty of extra space.

Bought this hitch basket a few months ago, and wanted to give it a few uses before writing a review. It has been working great for us! Used it on a 2,000+ mile cross country road trip through 80mph freeways, mountain roads, dirt roads, poorly paved roads, you name it, and we never had any issues. It held all of our gear inside the canvas bag through rain, heat and even snow! We have since used it for camping trips and general cargo transport, and it is still holding up great!As you can see in the photos, the velcro on the bag is coming detached. It has already detached in multiple places. This does not affect the functionality of the bag, the zipper still works and it is still pretty weatherproof. But we feel it should have lasted a lot longer, which is why I knocked off a star for this review. Also, not a fan of the straps and tie downs. We struggled with the black straps that come with it, and ultimately threw them out, along with the included tie downs, and just used good quality tie downs (do yourself a favor, and go buy good tie downs! The ones that come with this are not of good quality, and we did not want to risk it).Installation is kind of a pain. The design is so that the basket needs to be held up from the ground while inserting the pins to get it attached to the hitch. I suggest 2 people install this together. After a few times, we have come up with a system for installing. We hold the basket up with a crate while inserting the pins so we don't have to hold it up ourself.When not in use, this is very space saving. It can just be put up against a wall, or on a wide shelf out of the way. We have not tried the folding mechanism yet, so I cannot review that part. But, overall I would definitely recommend this hitch basket! It is sturdy, and frees up so much space inside your vehicle!

Had a difficult time on arrival. Was fulfilled by Amazon and what arrived was a repack. Damage to a corner inside the cage, parts scattered around the box, one piece wedged inside another. No assembly instructions. Fortunately, all the pieces were there, and I unwedged the retaining pin. Did not have time to return, so I made do with what I had. Found a youtube video that helped with assembly. Pretty easy and I was able to put it together by myself. Parts are sturdy. Basket light enough for one person to mount in a pinch, but recommend 2. The basket was also sturdy. Anti-wiggle U joint is a great addition. Did not hear or feel any movement during a 500-mile round trip, both loaded and unloaded in the up position. After the initial use, I contacted the seller, Mockins to let them know about the condition of arrival. They responded back quickly and offered a full replacement carrier for my trouble. I did not expect that and didn't have need of a second carrier, as this one was completely functional (after the unboxing angst, which I put squarely on Amazon as fulfillers) so we settled with them comping me a large bungi cargo net. The Cargo bag that came with the carrier is heavy duty. Very thick and it absolutely protected the boxes I put in it. However, it is a few inches short in width. You can get more on the carrier without the bag. It was also 15 degrees F when I loaded everything and learned that I had to really manhandle it in the cold... it lost some pliability... but that is a small price for something so sturdy.I would absolutely buy this carrier again and will be looking for other Mockins products. They are truly committed to making it right, even though they were not at fault for the issues.

I bought this product for road tripping in our minivan. As you can see, we don't pack light! We additionally optimize the bag by using large vacuum bags (space bags) to pack inside the Mokin bag. With this, we pack for 5 people for 2 weeks of winter (bulky) clothes and need no suit cases or clothes in the van. This leaves room for the passengers to have room for personal items and space to get comfortable and sleep. We used a top mounted cargo container in the past. It just makes noise and hurts the gas mileage. This solution is much better for both. It is quiet and we got 28 MPG on a 1,500 mile run. Further, it is far easier to access this product versus the roof mount.We have taken this product on approximately 10,000 miles. Florida to DC to Wisconsin to Florida both in the winter and in the summer...through snow and rain. Performed well. Picture one is everything out back in the bag and room in the car for a long trip. Picture two is a short distance trip to camping, so there is more gear in the back of the van.Assemble Comment - Assembly was easy; nut and bolts. Did it with my daughter in no time. Only issue, it was easier to put it together upside down on the neck. For some reason the bolt fit better that way, so I assumed it was correct. This caused it to be too low to the ground and scrape. After getting down the road, we realized it needed to be corrected. We stopped flipped it the first rest plaza with basic tools. So, pretty easy to work with. Only issue was having to force the neck pin a little. After that clear sailing.Weatherproof - As I said above, we have run it through 90 in Florida to subzero in Wisconsin through snow and rain. Bag stays dry.Sturdiness - I would say this product is sturdy. The only ding is that it is going to rust eventually if not cared for. We have a minivan. There is not much clearance. Any steep incline is going to cause a scrape on the ground. For example, we scraped leaving the gas station where the slope is down and then quickly up to the street. You need to take it slow and go at an angle. The counter is, if you are a little handy, when you get home from the trip, wash it, sand it and spay paint the affected (scraped) areas. Then put a little WD40 on the nuts and bolts and put it away.For entry level (non-RV people) this is a huge space saver.
