I purchased this rack after using my brother in law's all steel version to carry everything from a Christmas tree to large game. In other words, items you dislike tossing into your vehicle! For a few extra dollars, I think the aluminum version is the ticket! It has an unexpected feature in that it allows you to pivot the rack vertically 90 degrees for easy transport when you aren't carrying anything. As a result, I can leave it attached to my vehicle in the garage and I don't have to negotiate the extra length it otherwise adds to your vehicle in tight spots! A few things to be aware of: The rack isn't 100% aluminum. The main support beam and lower support brackets are steel, painted silver. The rack will move slightly (left/right) due to the standard tolerances allowed between the receiver and attaching item. Buy the optional receiver bolt kit if this is an issue for you. The bottom is made from aluminum mesh. Perfect for flat bottom items (coolers, boxes) Not great if you drop a heavy boat anchor on it. It wasn't designed for that so don't expect it to last if you do. The sides on this rack are a few inches high. Perfect as a 'carry all' rack but I recommend tie downs for your boxes/coolers. If your primary use is for a cooler, I would buy a high sided rack so you don't have to use tie downs. Tools (socket/wrench) are required for assembly. For the price and features offered, I would buy this rack again in a heartbeat.
