I had a problem with space in my truck, like every trip turned into a game of what can I leave behind. I needed something to carry extra stuff without cramming the back seat. I saw this hitch basket thing and figured I would give it a shot. Setup took a bit of time, not super hard but not super quick either.
Once I got it on, it actually held a lot more than I thought. I loaded it up with bags, a cooler, and some random gear and it handled it fine. The straps and net helped keep stuff from flying around, which was nice. The waterproof bag was useful too, even though it looks kinda basic.
There are a couple small downsides though. It is a bit heavy, so taking it on and off is not fun if you are doing it solo. Also, it sticks out pretty far, so parking can feel a little sketchy at first. I had to get used to checking behind me more often so I did not bump into anything like a fool.
Overall, it does what I needed it to do without being fancy. It is not perfect, but it gets the job done and saves space inside the car. For road trips or moving stuff, it is pretty handy. I would say it is worth it if you just need extra room and do not want to overthink it.
