Our Review of ARKSEN’s Robust 500lb Folding Hitch Cargo Carrier
Our Review of ARKSEN's Robust 500lb Folding Hitch Cargo Carrier
We recently tested the ARKSEN 60 x 23 x 5.5 Inch Folding Hitch Cargo Carrier and were impressed with its practical design. This sturdy basket-style carrier easily attaches to any 2-inch receiver hitch, providing substantial extra storage space for our road trip essentials.
What we particularly appreciated was how the 500-pound weight capacity handled our camping gear without any concerning flexing or wobbling. The folding feature proved incredibly convenient when not in use - we simply folded it up against our SUV rather than removing it entirely.
The raised sides kept our luggage secure during highway driving, and the mesh bottom allowed water and debris to pass through rather than collecting. Assembly was straightforward, taking us about 20 minutes with basic tools. For anyone needing additional cargo space for camping trips or family vacations, this carrier offers excellent value without compromising on quality.

We Test the Yakima BigCatch: A Fishing Kayak’s Best Friend
We Test the Yakima BigCatch: A Fishing Kayak's Best Friend
After spending several weekends on various lakes and rivers, we can confidently say the Yakima BigCatch saddles are game-changers for serious kayak anglers. These robust carriers mounted easily on our StreamLine roof rack system, providing rock-solid support for our fishing kayaks during transport.
What impressed us most was the versatility-we tested them with both standard fishing kayaks and heavier models loaded with gear, and the BigCatch handled everything with remarkable stability. The padding system protects your boat's hull while the tie-down points ensure everything stays secure even on bumpy backroads.
Installation took us under 30 minutes, and the tool-free adjustment system means we can quickly adapt when switching between different kayaks. For anglers who frequently transport their fishing kayaks, these saddles offer excellent value and peace of mind that your prized vessel will arrive safely at your fishing destination.

Our Hands-On Review: Malone VersaRail Bare Roof System
Our Hands-On Review: Malone VersaRail Bare Roof System
We recently had the opportunity to test the Malone VersaRailâ„¢ Bare Roof Cross Rail System (50") on several vehicles in our fleet. Right out of the box, we were impressed by the sturdy construction and quality materials. The installation process proved remarkably straightforward, taking us less than 30 minutes without requiring any special tools or roof rack experience.
What truly sets this system apart is its versatility. We successfully mounted it on three different vehicles with bare roofs, and the adjustable clamps provided a secure fit in each case. The 50-inch crossbars offered ample space for our kayaks, bikes, and cargo box.
The aerodynamic design noticeably reduced wind noise compared to other systems we've tested, and we experienced minimal impact on fuel efficiency during our 200-mile test drive. For vehicles without built-in roof rails, the VersaRail system delivers exceptional value.

We Test the Tuyoung Lockable Roof Rack for Honda CR-V
We Test the Tuyoung Lockable Roof Rack for Honda CR-V
In our latest gear review, we've spent two weeks testing the Tuyoung Lockable Roof Rack Cross Bars designed specifically for 2007-2011 Honda CR-V models. These aluminum bars impressed us with their 220-pound capacity, which easily handled our camping gear and kayaks during a weekend getaway. Installation took us about 30 minutes without requiring any special tools or modifications to our test vehicle.
We particularly appreciated the security features - the lockable mechanism gave us peace of mind when leaving our equipment mounted while parked at trailheads. The black finish integrates nicely with the CR-V's aesthetic, and we noticed minimal wind noise compared to other racks we've tested previously.
For CR-V owners looking to expand their cargo capabilities without breaking the bank, these racks deliver solid value for weekend adventurers and daily commuters alike.
