ARKSEN 43 x 50 x 6 Inch Universal Extra Wide 150LB Heavy Duty Roof Rack Cargo with Extension Car Top Luggage Holder Carrier Basket for SUV, Truck, & Car Steel Construction

A really nice cargo basket. Very happy with this. I will say the customer service on this item was amazing. The first one I got had a bend in the tubbing where it connects together. I got in contact with the seller sent some pictures and within a day they had the process of the replacement product on the way. Extremely happy with the customer service. Very easy to put together probably took 30 minutes to assemble. It also seems very sturdy. Couldn't tell any noise for it after putting it on my cross bars. Definitely roomy for things to be put in it.

I just wanted to come back and update this review now that I've had it for 2 years. I didn't do anything special to it as others have said they did to theirs. The paint and overall finish of the metal has held up very well. I had no issues with it when I was in the midwest even during some harsh winters. The only time I had an issue with it was after I moved to Florida. It has started to rust after being here for a year but the rack itself isn't that bad. It's majority surface rust that cam be removed with a Scotch Brite pad and I'm planning on repainting it here soon. The worst areas for rust is in the mounting hardware itself. The bolts and nuts and wing nuts that hold it to your crossbars will absolutely need sunlight and penetrating lubricant to break them free without stripping the plastic wingnuts. I had to remove my crossbars to get my rack off today and it was a real pain. Especially more so now that I have to measure the overhang of my cross bars when I go to put my crossbars back on again to make sure they're even on all sides. But other than for that I have had absolutely 0 problems with my rack in the 2 years I've had it and it has become a permanent installation to my suv since i've had it. People know me when they see me just because of it. It's long enough and wide enough to accommodate a cargo box and have plenty of room on the other side of the rack for other various camping gear. This rack is the next best option I have compared to others on the market.The only downside is that it is not a direct mount to the roof and there's no options for it to be without rails and crossbars. That's also a downside to my suv in general also since there doesn't seem to be any aftermarket support for direct to roof mounting. So for those reasons, I selected this rack 2 years ago and have been happy with it since then.

**UPDATE FINAL***The reseller did an amazing job of honoring the warranty. Although the product had its issues, within one day of posting my review the reseller responded with a full refund. Products often have issues but it’s really great to work with a reseller that knows how to treat the customer. The experience was so good I changed my review rating to reflect my satisfaction with the outcome.***ORIGINAL POSTI used this item for a 2k mile road trip through the blue ridge mountains. The unit was easy to assemble and was fairly sturdy. The main issue I experienced when I returned from our trip was that when I was unloading our roof bags from the carrier, I noticed rust forming at every junction weld on the rack. The unit has only been installed for two weeks and we havent had any rain. This really makes me question the long term durability of this unit. Any metal properly powder coated and sealed shouldnt be experiencing rust this quickly. Makes me curious as to how it will hold up over the coming year, my initial thoughts arent positive as it will likely continue to rust and eventually the welds will lose their integrity as a result.*** April 14th 2021- this update was three weeks after installation. I have attached photos that show the amount of rust that’s coming out from the rack. It’s coming out from the first bar where the welds are of inferior quality. If you look at the paint pictures of my car you will see that there are rust stains all over the roof. I don’t recommend this product as it shouldnt be experiencing this much rust so shortly after installation. Frankly I will probably be pursuing getting a refund.

This rack is exactly what I needed. I like that it's much wider than your typical roof rack, so it looks much better on my vehicle. This rack gives me enough space to carry a fuel can, recovery gear, traction boards, and a water container with some space to spare. After reading other reviews and seeing the rust, I decided to spray all the ends with bed liner. It's only been through one rain but no rust yet. Overall great rack and easy to install. Keep in mind, due to the size this thing is heavier than I anticipated but I was able to get it on my roof alone. Two people would have made it much easier.

I wanted the biggest roof rack I could get since I have a suburban and most racks look tiny on it, took me about 30 min to assemble following the instruction and they provide the Allen key to tighten everything, seems to be good quality, but the crossbars seem like they are only tack welded and not welded fully around the skinny bars so there is gaps, Also the mounts it comes with to secure the rack didn’t even fit between the bars in the back so I tightened them down as much as possible but I’ll need some other type of mount to fully have ease of mind that it’s secure, I saw the other reviews about rusting so I sprayed some flex seal and I’ll see how that holds up in the rain

Excellent product. Well built, very easy to assemble.
