Installed this rack on our 2022 Kia Sorento with OEM roof crossbars. I should also mention we have the moon roof option as well in case you're worried about that (just don't open the moon roof while this is installed). I had this thing assembled and installed on the roof in an hour. This rack feels solid and I liked how it prevents water from entering assembly points by providing rubber gaskets. Very well thought out. Listened to the other reviews and didn't tighten down the front wind guard too tight and I've had no issues with it cracking. The actual adapters that mount it to the crossbars are very nice. One reason I liked this over the others was the cheaper options on Amazon have those dinky U-bolt adapters which people seemed to have some issues with. These ones are essentially heavy duty clamp style ones that comes with the higher end cargo racks. They have a nice weight to them, plus nice padding. The bolts for the adapters do require the special Allen key that comes with this to tighten and loosen. I'm guessing this is to make it harder for someone to steal this off your roof, so make sure to keep that Allen key in your glove box! With any roof rack/cargo basket, there's wind noise. There's really no getting around this. You might be able to dampen it a little with a modified wind guard, but that's only going to do so much. It honestly just sounds like you have your fans on high when at 70+ mph and I got used to it pretty fast. With cargo bag on top, it had an effect on my mpg, but not as bad as I though (maybe a loss of 2-3 mpg). With rack empty, I don't see a drop. Aesthetically, this one looks awesome. Compared to the cheaper options which are just rectangular baskets, this looks wayyyy better. I saw a few while on the road and am glad I went with this one. The cheap ones look cheap. All in all, this is worth the extra $$ compared to cheaper options out there. From seeing the cheaper ones up close, compared to this one, there is 100% a difference in quality. I even saw some Thule's on the road and this looked similar. I think this might actually be larger too. On top of that, its $200-$300 cheaper then the Thules. 5/5. Pay the extra and get this one.

This thing rocks easy to build, and looks great! I was able to mount it alone in about 45 minutes total. It’s so sturdy I can do pull ups through my sunroof. It feels rock solid. I put it on a 21 Forester and it looks great on an SUV of that size. It would also be great on something like a Renegade or Crosstrek.

I recently purchased this roof rack, and I'm pleased to say that it has met my expectations and then some. Here's why I recommend it: Sturdy Construction: This roof rack is exceptionally well-built and sturdy. It can handle a variety of cargo without any issues, providing peace of mind during trips. Its durability is a standout feature, and it feels like a solid investment. Minimal Complaints: While, like any roof rack, it adds some wind noise due to its design, I can confidently say that this is a minor inconvenience compared to its overall performance. The noise is manageable and expected with any roof-mounted cargo solution, so it's not a significant drawback. Does the Job: Ultimately, this roof rack does precisely what I needed it to do. It securely holds my cargo, making it a valuable addition for my outdoor adventures. Its functionality and reliability make it an essential tool for my travels. For anyone in search of a high-quality roof rack at a fair price, this is a great option to consider. It's proven to be dependable, and its sturdiness sets it apart. I'm keeping mine, and I believe it will serve others just as well.

We needed a cargo rack/basket for our 2021 4Runner ORP to haul our camping and off-roading gear. We didn't need a high-end or permanent cargo rack since we also have a Thule Cargo Box for our snowboarding trips. I ultimately narrowed my choices down to this, the Rola V-Tex, and the Rhino Rack X Tray. Based on my research (and I did waaaaay too much, just ask my wife), these three met our needs and were all comparable. The Rola V-Tex is a fairly popular budget basket in the 4Runner community, but I was scared off by all the horror rust stories. That narrowed my choices down to this and the Rhino Rack. What's interesting is that these two racks look nearly identical, have similar dimensions, and have very similar features. I ultimately went with Tyger due to the price and the extra rust-prevention features. What I Like: This cargo basket was fairly straightforward to assemble. The materials are pretty solid and the welds look good. I was mindful of not over-tightening the wind deflector screws after reading about others cracking theirs. The size meets our camping/off-roading needs and is the perfect length for our 4Runner with a sunroof. Not to mention, it looks pretty sharp on our truck. I've seen a number of people checking out our truck when we have this on. What I Don't Like: My biggest problem with this product is that the included mounting hardware are too long and do not work on the 4Runner's OEM crossbars. I had two options... 1) Go out and buy shorter bolts, or 2) Throw my Thule Wingbar Evo bars on the truck. Despite increasing the profile of the rack, I opted for the second option. It would be great if they had lower profile hardware so that I could mount this directly to my OEM crossbars. Also, while not a complaint on my end since I've been using various roof racks for many years, beware that this will decrease your mileage and introduce some wind noise, especially if you have a sunroof/moonroof. Final Thoughts: While I've only used this basket twice, it has met all my needs so far. I haven't done any of the tricks mentioned by others to further waterproof and rustproof the basket since I do not leave this on our truck. I'm going to hold off on doing any rustproofing until I do see any signs of rust to see how the manufacturer rustproofing features hold up. I'll be sure to report back in the future about what happens. Yes, you can find cheaper baskets on Amazon, but based on my research, it comes at a cost. I currently recommend this to anyone looking for a solid budget cargo basket. Whether you're looking for something for your outdoor adventures or simply something to pick-up women/men while mall crawling, this is a great cargo basket!

Product is a solid build with large tubing and clean welds. It was easy to assemble. Once mounted, it feels secure and sturdy. Pros: Gauge of tubing- thick and strong Easy to assemble Rugged, aesthetically appealing Quality hardware Versatile and simple tie-down points Cons: Mounts to cross bars more adaptable to square bars, mine are teardrop shaped- still works, just takes more time to balance mounting post screws Some wind shear noise from plexiglass-cover Crossbar mounts don’t allow my sunroof to use tip-up function (this may not apply to most) All hardware screws use an anti-theft Allen key, so don’t lose it!! Removal- would be tedious for storage periods. TBD Hardware screws weather and rust-proof? Mileage- with empty load, may trend down slightly. Be prepared to accept 2-4 mpg reduction (**UPDATE 10/2024- after 3 months of use, MPG reduction is 2.5 miles less w/ rack empty**) Pitting on some welds- may rust- I plan to fill with black silicone. Union of front frame to rear- middle of rack- Joint could retain water. I wrapped mine with a rubber seal. Your roof will never be as clean before the install. Washing is a bit tedious with rack in place. Overall This product appears to be built to last. Time will tell as to its ruggedness, holding power, and finish durability. It’s value seems optimal considering a quality build for less than $200.

Such a great accessory for my 2024 pilot this mounted cargo roof is sleek and looks amazing once installed. Best value for my money and super easy to install.

Put this on my 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. I love it. It looks great and it's extremely sturdy. I kept it on all summer long through multiple rains and car washes and it has no signs of rust, as read in previous reviews. You will notice your mpg drop a bit and the wind noise is pretty loud but you'll get use to it. It's kind of to be expected when you add a rack. My rack was missing a couple rubber washers for the wind guard so I reached out to their customer support who were very helpful and sent me out extras at no charge with fast shipping. As previously stated I've experienced no rust. I haven't done anything extra to insure it wouldnt rust either. With the rubber gaskets provided I don't see how water could enter the tubes if installed properly. Either that or this company has fixed the issue with rusting problems but all I can say is I love it and its worth the money! I live in Michigan where everything rusts... I'm not taking any chances and I want to save on gas and have no reason to use my rack in the winter so I removed it at the end of summer. But I'm pretty confident that it wouldnt rust through the winter either.

I did a fair amount of research on cargo baskets and found that there are really two categories. Those that cost under $200 and those that cost around $400. After reading reviews, etc I settled on the more expensive category because I've learned my lesson in the past. I chose this one over the Thule because it was bigger and cost about the same. Assembly was pretty easy. The manual is all pictures and they were a little confusing at first but after I figured out what they meant I had the whole thing put together in 30 to 40 minutes. I like that every screw came with a rubber washer to help keep water out. The entire basket is powder coated and very nicely welded. I should mention that all of the screws lined up without problem - when's the last time that has happened? I mounted it on my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee (I had aftermarket cross bars) without a problem. It bolted down nice and tight. My only problem is that I can't keep it on my Jeep if I want to park in the garage. It won't clear the door opening by about 1/2 inch. Not a big deal since I didn't want it on the SUV all the time anyway and this certainly isn't Tyger's fault. This basket is about the same size as the interior of my Jeep so I've effectively doubled the load capacity of my ride which is awesome.
