Volkswagen Touareg Hitch Cargo Carriers

Ordered this because my wife is short and wouldn't be able to reach a storage box on the top of our Touareg and we saw an RV with one of these boxes this fall and thought this would be a great alternative. The metal frame is very sturdy, however, the plastic container feels flimsy / weak. We have yet to really test this with significant weight, but running nearly empty it seems to ride quiet. The container is lockable, but does not come with a hitch lock (the Thule hitch lock is $40+... ouch)

My husband assembled it quite quickly without any problems. It is spacious enough for all 5 of our (not full sized) suitcases with some space left for smaller things. Drove over 1500 miles through many different terrains (no off roading) and had no issues. Rained some one day while driving and nothing got wet. Pleased with the purchase, made traveling far with our suv an option.
