Inno

Easy to install & secure !

This is a very well-designed and well-made cargo box system. The quality of the materials and construction are top-notch. The locks, latches and hinges are all very strong and solidly built. This system tackles the challenge of having a cargo box that is easily removed from the car and is wheeled. While it succeeds in this, the system is probably best for cars with a lower roof line, since unless the contents of the box are very light weight, it may be difficult to remove and lower to the ground without another person assisting. The system is also designed for cars with roof rails or cross rails but not for roof racks because the latches when fully opened need to be able to drop a good three inches below the bottom of the cargo box. I knew this when purchasing it and jury-rigged a solution, but it is not ideal. The cargo box lid only opens to about 45 degrees but that's not a deal breaker for me.

The INNO 110 is a fine bike rack with a big flaw -- hence the 4-star rating (rather than 5) overall and for quality. The big flaw is the extreme difficulty of inserting the locking pin into the shaft of the hitch. It's supposed to just push in and turn to lock. It just doesn't work that way at all, however. INNO have started sending a little explainer with the bike rack, advising a particular technique to get this pin in. But it doesn't help much. I'd been using that technique (hold in the springed washer and insert pin at an angle) for years, and though it helps a bit, I still never know whether that pin is going to go in first time, or take me several minutes of fussing around. Otherwise, however, in every way, the bike rack is superb.
