Packaging/appearance


It was very well packaged and all the pieces were there!


No bent tubes, no damage, components were packed really well.

    This item is well constructed but light enough to move with one person


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However there is noticeable but acceptable reduction in mpg


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Normal mpg is about 25 without a rack


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    With a rack loaded with camping supplies is about 20


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Using a thule force xt xl box i get about 24 mpg


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But the thule could never hold as much equipment and is not nearly as convenient for loading rafts for a day of rafting


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The four clamps used to secure the rack to the roof rack crossbars seemed sufficient and secure but i went ahead strapped it down with four additional large cable ties to be extra sure


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    No weird whistling on the freeway or anything
