This Thule hitch-mount "hard-shell" cargo carrier I envisioned as just what was needed to double the effective size of my 2007 Toyota Corolla's trunk. It has worked out exactly as expected. It's 13 cu. ft. of space doubles the a little more than 13 cu. ft. space of the trunk.
Everything was in the box (for both 1 1/4" and 2" hitch receivers), shipping was free (and pretty quick) in addition to $40 or so off the list price by buying from Amazon, assembly and installation was a snap (I already had a 1 1/4" receiver mounted on my Corolla along with the flat plug type wiring necessary for the included lights), and it has done just what I needed on a 3000 mile trip in the West in May - haul my camping equipment while still having the car trunk available for everything else I needed.
Only "issue" is just what I expected from putting such a contrapation on the back of my relatively low slung Corolla, i.e., it will occasionally drag when going up or down a sharp incline. However, this is usually quite avoidable by paying attention by going slowly up and down such inclines (like pulling into or out of a gas station or convenience store) and taking such inclines at an angle (i.e., not perpendicular to the street).
A major upside of these type carriers is that one gets less wind drag and better mileage from such this configuration versus the high wind drag of roof mounted carriers. Evidence? I got over 41 mpg on my noted 3000 mile trip! I also does not obstruct the view out the back window at all essentially.

Wrong product packaged by Thule!
The 665C should fit 2" and 1 1/4" Trailer Hitches. The product packaged by Thule only works on 1 1/4".
I had to by a converter from a local company at the cost to me of $40 to make this work.
This product cost over $60 to ship, so I did not return it to Amazon.
Buyer Beware! When buying large items, buy local!! The cost to return an expense item puts the buyer in a tough spot.
PS: Thule was difficult to deal with!!! They would NOT admit they packaged the wrong carrier.

Item came as described - Good Deal compared to other companies - Shipping estimate was on target - I didn't grade them with the highest marks because I did not prefer the shipping method that came free with the order. With USPS, UPS or FEDEX it arrives without scheduling someone to be there...I had to schedule an appointment. Delivery service did arrive in the time frame scheduled though. Perhaps worth getting the free shipping...I just don't like having to schedule four hours of staying home to get my package...
