Vista XL Rear Opening Cargo Box,Black

We bought this to use on my 2017 Subaru Outback for our 2200 mile, 4 day road trip when we recently moved from CA to IL. It was easy to install, and fit on the crossbars perfectly. It was fairly lightweight too. I drove with it on my car for about 3 weeks while it was empty, prior to our trip, even though I know I wasn't supposed to, and it was fine (all local roads, no highways though). It held all 3 of our suitcases plus some pillows and blankets. It was a huge help for storage during the drive since my car was packed, as I had two 30 inch pet cages in the back with our 4 cats in them. We moved in December, so we were bound to encounter some sort of weather, and boy did we! On day 3 of our drive we were headed into a huge snow storm that spanned about 600 miles, which was to be our whole trip for that day. We wound up going north and out of our way to avoid driving in the snow storm all day, but we still drove in it for about 6 hours. It held up great, and the inside stayed dry even though the outside did get a good amount of snow and ice on it. There were a few hours where the roads made the drive really bumpy due to all of the ice and snow covering the ground, and it didn't budge or loosen up at all (we checked to ensure it was still secure every night when we stopped at our hotels). I was averaging driving about 65 - 74 mph during the entire trip, and it didn't seem to be a problem. My husband was driving his car behind me the whole time, and he said when I went over about 75 mph he noticed that it would shake and bounce around more, so I tried to stay below that (but honestly I went up to 80 mph at times when passing a truck for example). I noticed that on the 2 lane highways whenever a semi truck would pass me going the opposite way, my whole car would shake and I was really worried that the lock would break or that the cargo box would go flying off my car, but it held up great and did it's job. I would often slide the cover for my sun roof open so that I could check on it and see the bottom of the cargo box from through the glass, and I noticed that it would bounce slightly as I was driving from the wind but again I was going about 70 mph most of the time so that was expected, and it didn't cause any problems. I did not notice any wind noise at all, however I did get about 5 mph less average gas mileage than usual. It was very sturdy and got us and all of our stuff to our destination. I am happy to have it now for any future road trips, and would definitely recommend it as an inexpensive, sturdy cargo box.

I purchased this for a last minute family road-trip to the beach with the dog. It was NOT hard to mount on our Subaru Forester. We bought BougeRV roof rack cross bars to mount it to. The carrier did NOT require ANY tools to mount it on the roof rack. Just a steady set of hands. If you have 2 people mounting the carrier, it makes it twice as fast. The storage capacity is great! I was able to get the dog's 6 sided pen and 4 medium sized soft carry-on type luggage bags in there along with two medium sized dog beds. It gave us ample room in the car for extra storage and leg space. My Beau did most of the driving at speeds of 65 to 75 miles an hour. There was little to no wind resistance and little to no noise at that speed. In fact the only time we realy noticed the carrier was across bridges where there were heavy crosswind gusts of more than 50 miles per hour. It also rained on our way to the beach. No issues there, everything stayed dry. :-) All and all, I feel like it was a solid purchase for the price. I can see us using this for years to come. Oh, the only real CON that I can recall with this carrier is the hinges that hold the carrier lid up. If you don't pull the carrier lid up equally on both sides, it has a tendency to cause the lid to open lopsided. It's not a serious issue, it's just slightly inconvenient. To remedy the situation you just pop the other side up. The nice thing is the hinges hold the lid up from the sides far enough that you can access the carrier from the back or either side of the vehicle.

I researched a bunch of different cargo boxes and ultimately decided upon this one. I felt like it wasn't too cheap and it wasn't too expensive while also having a whole bunch of space. I needed to move from Minnesota to North Carolina so I drove quite a ways with it. It was strange and a little nerve wrecking the first couple times I drove with it on but I never came across any issues. I also drove through some rain (nothing major) and all my stuff stayed dry in it.. It comes with some stickers to cover the screw holes that are not in use so no water leaks in but if it was packed too much to where it bulges in the middle I could see some water possibly being able to flow in the sides but as I said I had no problems with water. The plastic material its made out of is indeed not the strongest but it certainly seemed strong enough for what it was built for. I've seen some reviews saying you can push the sides in and that you can't sit on it without it collapsing and that's true but it's not a bench and wasn't made to be pushed in - it holds things INSIDE perfectly. I stored a shop fan, exercise equipment, a vacuum cleaner, clothes, blankets, and other random stuff in it with room to spare. It says to not exceed 70MPH but I drove up to 80-90 MPH and it did great. I could hear it when driving at high speeds but the noise was not unbearable.. I could hold a conversation over it just fine and when I played music at the volume I prefer I couldn't hear it at all. All in all I've driven over 1500 miles with this and continue to be happy with my purchase. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a huge reliable cargo box and doesn't want to spend $500+ on the Thule brand. CONS- Not the strongest lock. Doesn't open very wide so it might be difficult to pack certain things. The hinges are slightly weak. Slows down vehicles (as to be expected). May be loud.. mixed reviews on that (was tolerable for me) PROS- ENORMOUS! Water proof (for me). Affordable.

Busque en demasiados lugares este porta equipaje, está ha sido una de mis mejores comprar, llego antes de tiempo, servicio extraordinario, súper fácil de instalar, fácil de maniobrar y lo mejor súper estética, perdón por no subir fotos créanme que no pude hacerlo pero si ayuda mucho q la toma de desicion.

This carrier is large and fits a lot of stuff! It is sturdy enough to get the job done and far cheaper than other brands. It mounts to my Thule rack system with a little wiggling to get the holes in the right spot, but not too much trouble. It's light enough for one reasonably strong person to toss onto the roof and bolt it down with the tool-less gear (metal plates on both sides of the plastic, U bolts and hand-tightened large plastic "nuts"). It went through some serious downpours on the highway and came out dry inside. I think it took a rock strike as there is a scuff but it didn't crack or anything. I didn't want to spend 2x or more for a Thule brand carrier so held my breath and went with this option. I am very happy with it.

This thing is huge and looks ok. Traveling with my kids is so much easier.

I have used this box on 2014 Nissan Rogue and 2015 Nissan Pathfinder many times without any issues. The box may appear flimsy, but once it's closed and locked, you will not have any issues. It does not cause any issues while driving at high speeds. You can't beat this, especially for this price.

Très bien; bonne grandeur pour transporter du bagage pour le chalet ou le camping. De cette façon, nous pouvons prendre qu'une seule voiture pour nous y rendre. Ça nous laisse de la place dans la voiture pour notre glacière et notre chien avec son lit. Il est solide, bien hermétique, et quand on roule, nous oublions même que c'est sur le toit. Et même lorsqu'il vente, nous le sentons pas; nous en sommes agréablement surpris. Notre seule questionnement est la solidité des pentures; vont-ils supporter longtemps quand on ouvre la boîte? Le temps et le nombre d'utilisation nous le dira. Mais, nous ne nous plaindrons pas puisque le prix était très raisonnable pour le résultat. Très satisfaite.
