GARVEE 63x43 Inch Roof Rack Basket, Heavy Duty Steel Basket Universal Rooftop Cargo Carrier, 300Lbs Load Roof Basket for SUV Pick Up Truck Cars

I bought the 63" x 43" version. I will only have this on my vehicle when it's needed because it will increase the frontal wind load area which will have a direct influence on fuel mileage especially at highway speeds. This is true for any vehicle.This roof rack is what I would consider to be average built quality. It has rubber plugs filling holes, which can be seen in the product images if you know where to look, two on every tubular member. Most of those rubber plugs are not installed properly because of burrs in the holes. There are also welds that have holes burned in them that were not back filled.Product details say aluminum but it is welded and painted steel. Product details say u-bolt mounting but it has steel and plastic mounting bracket which are suitable. Construction and mounting are both represented correctly in the product images.Some assembly required. Very easy with tool included.The roof rack seems sturdy enough to support its rated cargo weight (depending on what it's mounted to) if the weight was evenly distributed and not point loaded, though I have not confirmed this. Traveling on rough surfaces, like off-road for example, will reduce the weight capacity of any roof rack.If you are considering buying this roof rack, understand that round tube, which this roof rack is primarily constructed of, is aerodynamically unstable. With that said, all of the bars that run left to right or directly vertical will and do produce aerodynamic noise at the expense of additional wind drag. That means it's a good thing that the vertical bars on the sides are angled. Additionally, the bottom bars that support cargo run from front to back so they will not contribute to the wind drag or produce noise. It does have a fairing which may or may not reduce some noise but still has frontal area that contributes to wind drag. This roof rack does indeed produce noise at highway speeds with no cargo. The faster you go, the more noise.Overall, it's a pretty decent rack and it looks pretty good. It produces no more or less aerodynamic noise than expected. Any roof rack will increase frontal wind load area resulting in increased drag and decreased fuel milage. I really dont like the rubber plugs hence 4 out of 5 stars.

This cargo carrier is huge! The 63" x 43" x 6.3" dimensions provide ample space for all my luggage, camping gear, and other essentials for road trips.
