 "A Quality Product but with Limitations" 2009-08-20
By Richard Thornhill (Tacoma WA USA)
Like all Yakima products this rack is a quality item. It does, however, have some serious limitations. Before you buy one check that it will fit your 2" receiver. On some receivers the bolt holes of the rack and receiver are impossible to line up! I had a Drawtite receiver and experienced this problem. I contacted Yakima and they told me they were aware of the problem but placed the blame on Drawtite. I was able to solve the problem by removing 1/8th of an inch from the rack tongue with a hacksaw, a lot of patience, and several cold beverages. Secondly this rack will only work for long vessels. I have an 18' Chesapeake Light Craft Mill River 18 and a 17" 6" Pygmy Arctic Tern and these just about work. Anything less than about 16' 6" is going to be very difficult to secure. This is also a cumbersome item to store.

So, if you have a longish boat, you have somewhere to store the rack and a compatible hitch this rack is brilliant. If you can't meet these criteria you may have something of a nightmare!

Yackima does offer some other alternatives for mounting a kayak/canoe carrier on a pickup that may work better for shorter boats but you will have to make sure the bedrails of your truck will accomodate them! Arrgghhh!

Having said all this, I remain a fan of Yakima products. Once I got the problem sorted this rack has performed well for me. Apart from the somewhat cavalier comment about the lack of compatibilty being Drawtite's fault I have been impressed with Yakima's customer service. I would have given this product five stars but for the frustrations mentioned above.

 "Very solid product" 2009-06-15
By Victor Okunev (Port Moody, BC Canada)
I use Yakima DryDock Boat Hitch Mount rack to haul huge Current Designs Libra XT double kayak on top of my Toyota 4Runner. I am very pleased with the rack, it keeps the kayak very secure. You don't have to worry about longitudinal kayak wobbling when you drive over the rough terrain or speed bumps! I've noticed some latitudinal movement of the rack, though I have not observed any negative effects of it. As far as I can tell, this is pretty much the only option to haul something long and heavy on top of 4Runner as the roof base for putting a two-crossbar roof rack is very small unless your truck has factory-installed rails. To give you a complete picture of my setup, I also use Yakima BoatLoader accessory on my front roof-mounted crossbar. This allows me to load and unload the heavy beast by myself, which makes my life so much easier. Granted, you can't open the rear cargo door with this rack in the trailer hitch, but I can live with that.

 "Worth the extra dough..." 2009-02-19
By Michael Couto (New Bedford, MA USA)
I have an older Peloton (517) but bought two of the Echelon (518) and really enjoy the difference in quality and ease of use. The head is heavy and sturdy and the locks are easier to reach. Actually, everything else (the tire tray) is about the same as the Peloton - it is the head and the mounting bracket that make them different. The bracket is also extremly solid, securing the carrier completely across the base of the head. The Peloton has more of a U-bolt type of bracket and it always makes me feel as if the bike could wobble a bit at high speed.

I am a faithful Prime member and truly buy most everything from Amazon, including expensive cameras and tools. But for some reason I actually had a couple of returns with this product. I had ordered another Peloton first, but it came with a bolt that was not threaded properly, so I returned it and got an Echelon but it had scratches on the tray, so I returned that also and got the two Echelons at East Providence Cycle, my local bike shop.

Let me also add that no store is more accomodating with returns than Amazon. I am always confident in my purchases that they will be stressfree that way.

 "Find something else." 2008-09-16
By Kevin McCulloch (Denver, CO)
I owned this product for about a year. From the beginning the locking mechanism on it felt a little odd. It never quite fit right. Everything else about it seemed pretty nice. As I was driving down the hightway a heard a rattle on my roof and stopped to realize the lock had fallen out of the rack and onto the highway. A friend who worked in a Ski shop said he had never heard of this before and later discovered that Thule issued a notice that they were having problems with the rack specific to the locks. However, because it was only a security issue and not a safety issue it would not be an official "recall". It took forever for me to find someone to return the rack locally and get a refund. So I guess as long as your okay with someone stealing your bike and losing your expensive Thule locks on the highway then Thule is happy to have you buy their products.

 "Durable and functional cargo net" 2009-03-10
By John (PHOENIX, AZ USA)
This is a great cargo net. I have two of them. One of them is about three or four years old, is used frequently, and has still retained its strength and "stretchiness". I really like the oversized hooks. I have an FJ Cruiser and I can attach them to the thick support (vertical) bars that are on the factory roof rack.



There are nets out there that are cheaper and if you only intend to use this occassionaly, those might be options. However, if you want something well-made, functional, and durable, this it the way to go.

 "Takes some fiddling to get right" 2007-08-23
By C. Anderson (Sacramento, CA United States)
I have a Honda CR-V with a roof rack, and we used this net to tie down bags, folding chairs, and some fishing poles for multi-day trip. Once we figured out how to reasonably attach the net to the roof rack, it worked well. Unfortunately, getting the net attached was a learning process. You couldn't just hook it on, but had to pass it underneath the rack rails, and hook it from the inside.

 "Cleverly engineered" 2009-06-22
By Andrew Lorente
First off-- bikes go on and off in a snap. The very first time I used this rack, it probably took me less than a minute. One of the really nice features is the design of the quick-release skewer. The cam mechanism is built into the front of the tray. This has two advantages:

- The long lever means you can also have a lot of travel in the clamp. The skewer goes from being clamped down to being wide enough to remove the fork, even with "lawyer nipples," just by moving the lever. That means no fiddling with the bolt tension every time you want to put the bike on the rack--just drop it in and clamp it.

- The same lock core that locks the bike to the carrier, locks the carrier to the loadbar. Turn one key and the whole assembly is secured.



The rest of the Peloton gives a similar impression of attentive design. The strap that holds the rear wheel down is easy to attach and easy to release. I would say the only downside is the somewhat 1990s-Volvo aesthetics.

 "Excellent Product" 2009-08-20
By L. Bertone (Seattle)
The Thule 571 Roof Mount Box Storage Lift is built well and works flawlessly. Read instructions carefully as the precise dimensioning must be followed. There is a little margin, but as an example, the inserts provided are for a cement/concrete application. I found that using large(50 lb) capacity sheet rock anchors, used to hang heavy pictures, worked very well. You can find them at any hardware store. Also prior to starting the installation, layout where your vehicle will be when mounting the roof box, then mark the ceiling with the boxes overall dimensions. This will help when installing the storage lift.

 "overall - good product" 2008-11-18
By claydj (USA)
Overall, good product. The pulleys and winching mechanism are well-constructed. The instructions I thought are very deficient. Be sure you think through your position before drilling holes. The screws they give you are concrete screws - not sure how many of us have concrete garage roofs.

 "Works great, but..." 2008-09-23
By Senor Hotcell (California Bay Area)
After getting this hoist installed on my garage ceiling, I've been happy with its performance. Happy enough, in fact, to buy and install a second one. But it was quite the frustrating experience installing it. My garage has a very high ceiling and is completely finished off so that the overhead studs were difficult to find. The first hoist took me about 5 hours to install. The second one took about half as long, since by then I knew what I was doing and knew where to find the studs. Overall, it's a good product and works well, but allow plenty of time for installation. One last comment: I'm still not sure why this gizmo costs over $100 because it is basically a very simple device and should probably run about $60.

 "Great product" 2008-07-20
By Mark Owens (Brookfield, WI)
This is an awesome product. Installing with 1X4's is makes the job much easier. Also used my own screws. I load up the box with camping stuff and crank it up to the ceiling.

 "Works as advertised" 2008-05-25
By Nathaniel T. Pond (Cincinnati, Ohio United States)
This works like it's supposed to. Holds my 1800 without issue. A few notes though:



1) Get your own mounting screws, the stuff that comes with it is junk

2) I ended up putting up 1x4 supports and mounting everything to those. I didn't put the middle support in, and it doesn't seem to matter.

3) My ceiling is is just over 10' tall, and this only comes down to about eye-level for me (I'm 6' tall). It's enough for me, but you might consider getting a longer rope.

 "Great box!" 2009-08-17
By Michelle (Ohio)
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!

 "Buy this item locally if you can - Amazon can't get order out complete!" 2009-07-28
By Dianne M. Gleixner
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.

 "Worth every dime" 2009-07-15
By T. Conners
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!

 "great item" 2009-02-24
By M. Garza (TX)
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.

 "Amazon once again a Great Experience!!" 2008-12-17
By Kamper (Wyoming)
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.

Installation was a breeze, first time putting a bike on was a little tricky. The tightening bolt is tough to tighten initially, hard to grip if you are 'reaching' or the weather is cold. Rack looks great though and now I've got the hang of it I am very happy. Also recommend locks to secure rack and bike.

For the price, no complaints at all.
