Sturdy Product, Misleading Photo
By E. Cappuccio
Overall, the product appears to be well built and sturdy. It took about an hour to assemble by myself. With help, it could easily be done in less than an hour. My only complaint is that the photo is misleading in two respects. First, it does not come with side rails. Fortunately, I read an earlier review which noted that fact and was not surprised when it did not come with the side rails. Second, the photos make it appear as if the carrier sits close to the bumper of your vehicle. That is not the case. In fact, this carrier sits out about twenty inches from the bumper of your vehicle. My guess is that it has to do with the hinge that allows the carrier to fold up. In any event, if I had any idea that it stuck out that far, I would have opted for the non-folding variety. But, other than that, the product appears to be sturdy and suitable for its purpose.

Folding option makes it worthwhile and convenient
By G. A.
I really think this product is a great idea. The folding carrier makes it great to bring a load of cargo somewhere, dump it, and fold up and not have to worry about backing up into something later on. I am using it on a Dodge Grand Caravan, and sometimes you have to watch out it doesn't scrape on the ground because the hitch on my van is mounted low. If this were used on a pick-up truck or SUV it would probably have pleanty of clearance all of the time. I also cut two pieces of 1/4" plywood to use as inserts in the carrier over the metal mesh support. This gives me a solid support on the angle iron sides, and more confidence that I will not break the metal mesh by accident. I know that if the mesh were solid, I probably could not lift the carrier by myself. I like it!!! It does stick out far from the back of my van, but I can open the back door, and then stand in the space and have access to that cargo space in the van. I would also suggest a locking hitch pin to keep thi s from coming out of the hitch. I had a hitch installed specifically for the carrier, and neither came with a hitch pin!

Item not as pictured
By D. Cryer
The picture used for this Lund Cargo Carrier is misleading. It shows an optional Side Bar Attachment that is not included. Only way down in the description is there any clarity about this shortcoming where it lists optional accessories (Side Bars)
