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.

Our Review: MELIPRON’s Versatile 500lb Truck Rack System
Our Review: MELIPRON's Versatile 500lb Truck Rack System
After spending the last month testing the MELIPRON 60" Truck Cap Topper Rack, we're impressed with its thoughtful design. The adjustable aluminum construction strikes an excellent balance between durability and weight, making installation manageable while providing the promised 500lb capacity.
We appreciated the versatility this rack offers. Whether you're hauling kayaks for a weekend getaway or transporting lumber for home projects, the 60-inch width accommodates various load types. The adjustable feature is particularly valuable, allowing us to modify the setup based on our cargo needs.
Installation was straightforward, though we recommend having a second person help position the rack. The aluminum construction resisted the elements well during our testing period, with no signs of corrosion despite several rainy days.
For truck owners needing reliable overhead storage without permanent modifications, this rack delivers exceptional value.

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.
