I bought this box from somewhere other than Amazon as they wouldn't price match ($100 less). Just took delivery today and had it all hooked up and installed in about half an hour. Drove through a hard rain on my way home and the inside of the box was dry when I got home. Cargo box is larger than pictures make it look, but I can't wait to try it out in the near future -- looks like it will hold a lot!

I chose this luggage box because it swings out of the way, but I couldn't order it locally and receive it in time for our upcoming vacation. Amazon said they could get it to me in just a few days. Perfect, I thought! It actually arrived a day earlier than expected - better yet, I thought! NOT SO FAST - I only received box 2 of 2! Called Amazon - after hours (really!) on the phone they said they'd get a replacement order out to me, hoping it would make it in time. The day before we're to leave, the 2nd order arrives - AGAIN BOX 2 of 2! I was furious! Now I have 2 charges on my CC, nothing to put my luggage in, and am waiting for my refund. Amazon has lost me as a customer. Save time - buy or order it locally, even if you have to spend more, it'll be worth it in the long run.

We own a 21 cu. ft. Thule rooftop box that has served us well and with the annual vacation coming up, we decided we needed a little more cargo space for the 400 mile trek. I considered the hitch mounted platforms with a cargo bag, but didn't feel comfortable with the security that provided. I also didn't want to get a ticket for blocking my license plate (no front plates in PA). The 13 cu. ft. addition this box provided was perfect.
Everything about getting and using this box was about as easy as they get. Order was the typical Amazon 1,2,3 process. No issues. The box showed up via common carrier about a week later, and by appointment. The shipping company was great.
Setup was a piece of cake and went onto the back of my Yukon XL with zero issue after a little assembly. A $10 adapter from the parts store to plugin in the lights to my trailer port and I was done. The swing out feature is fantastic and my lift gate clears with about 2-3 inches.
Driving with this box on the back was a non-event. I couldn't even tell it was there...Once mounted and locked on you forgot about it until it was time to empty it.
This purchase was worth every dime!

We received this cargo box within a week of ordering it... wow! That is an awesome job by Amazon to appropriate resources to make this happen as a free shipping item. I knew when I ordered the item that my Toyota Sequoia would need an adapter for the brake lights, but that took a quick trip to the Toyota dealership and $11 later... poof! instant brake lights! I have a Yakima roof rack that has worked for years with zero issues and was a little hesitant about using a Thule since I was not very experienced with the line. I was also concerned about the grey color of the upper box since the trim and the Yakima are black. However, I actually see the merit in the grey top for the sake of safety. The grey contrast makes it really easy for lovely tailgaters to space themselves more appropriately from the vehicle. I am not sure if the grey color for contrast was an intentional design, but I am not complaining anymore. For my particular vehicle model I have only one option for the pin placement at the hitch since the electric hookup is too close to the hitch. If I wanted to put the lock on the opposite side of the electric hookup I have to unscrew the hookup to make room for the pin insertion. Let's hear it for the engineer who came up with that idea! The box is solid and doesn't rock around when on the move. We go camping a lot and we have increased our family of 5's sq. feet tremendously. Thanks, again, Amazon for the speedy delivery.

This is our second large purchase from Amazon, the first being a $2500 LCD TV. It was a truck delivery that was shipped on December 12th and received on December 16th. The driver even hand carted it right to our door. Great service and was delivered a week early from first estimate. All contents were in great shape. Kudos to Amazon.
