This was installed on my 4th generation Toyota 4Runner. I am very pleased with this product now after I modified it. Having learned from other reviewers I immediately bolted a 1/2 inch piece of plywood to the bottom. This made a huge difference and made it a lot sturdier. I also used a hitch stabilizer I bought from Amazon (CZC AUTO Hitch Tightener) Without these modifications I would have to rate this product at 3 stars, but with it it is a solid 5. You must put down plywood like I did if you want to carry anything heavier than sleeping bags and empty coolers on it. Otherwise the bottom will sag and it will tilt from side to side. I also put reflective stickers on it just for added safety. I picked this product because of how light it is. Steel ones I tried before are sturdier out of the box but are very heavy and difficult (for me) to lift without help from another person. This aluminum one I can easily install and remove even with plywood bottom. Together with the cost of plywood and stickers it is still much cheaper and much lighter than most steel ones of the same size and quality. I like that it folds up, when not in use and rides very snug and sturdy (with the stabilizer mentioned above). Folded up it blocks the tailgate, of course but folding it up and down is very easy with a single pin.I drove with this hitch carrier empty and folded up from California to Arkansas (over 3600 miles). In Arkansas I loaded it up with very heavy coolers (just over 500 lb which is the stated limit for this carrier) and made it all the way to California. You absolutely must spread the load evenly and strap it very well. Strapping is easy as there are many holes strategically positioned all around. Straps also easily hook on to the bottom if you cannot reach a hole. Loaded with coolers I could still open and close the back gate of my 4Runner clearing it by fraction of an inch. Although I tried to even it out, my load was a wee bit heavier on one side and the carrier started tilting a little bit to that end by the middle of my drive (in Albuquerque NM) as you can see on the picture. I remedied that problem by rearranging my coolers and it evened itself out. It is worth noting, that hitched to 4th generation 4Runner this hitch positions itself exactly in front of the exhaust pipe on the right. As a result hot exhaust melted the plastic cover off a corner of one cheap cooler positioned directly in front of it and very slightly charred the plywood after 1,800 miles of driving. A different type of cooler I positioned on that end for the second leg of my trip survived intact.Driving with this carrier was easy, I forgot it was even there. No rattle. When backing up, it blocks the rear view camera on my 4Runner a little, but I could still see over the top. Folded down, no issues. I drove with it all over the woods, on and off road, in mud rocks and sticks. I carried game out of the woods. I cleaned game on it. Big men sat and stood on it with no problems. I used and abused it in every way and it performed admirably with no wear other than few scratches and stains. Aluminum appears to be of good quality, construction is solid and design is practical. Dimensions turned out to be perfect for my 4Runner and probably will work with any mid size truck SUV or van. Assembly was reasonably easy for one person (me) to accomplish in under an hour and one beer.
