Transporter Combination Hitch Cargo Carrier

Leave the rooftop shenanigans to Mr. Griswold. Thule’s Transporter Combination Hitch Cargo Carrier attaches to your vehicle’s hitch and offers you the most convenient way to transport up to 150 pounds of luggage and camping gear. The cargo box features a tilt-down design to offer you easy access to the rear of your vehicle, and Thule’s SecureLock ensures that your gear is confidently stowed once you hit the highway. For added safety once you’re on the road, Thule has included pre-wired tail lights (4-pin) and a license plate adapter. Thule also provides a One-Key lock, so you know the contents of the box are secure when you’re out-and-about. Finally, a drain plug in the bottom of the carrier makes the post-vacation cleanup quick and easy.

Nice but poor construction

We are traveling by car from Colombia to the southern tip of Argentina. We have the Thule Motion XT XL and had the Thule Transporter Combi until it broke. The Thule Transporter Combi was way too low. We purchased a bracket to raise it higher. I went over a dip in the road a bit fast. I wonder if the screw might have come loose and played a part in the box breaking. I provided the installer with a thread locker. The Transporter Combi was not overloaded. The bar ripped through the plastic after passing the speed bump. The only thing under the screws was a little washer and plastic. In hindsight, it's not the best design. We ended up leaving the broken box and many of our personal belongings on the side of the road. Not great! (2 Photos attached)

Great Until Tail Light Replacement

This is a great product! We have used it now for a year on several trips. However, one of the taillights just failed and we when went to look for a bulb - while on the road - we found out the tail light comes as an assembly only and cannot be repaired until you order another tail light assembly. Shame on you Thule for complicating and selling a product with obvious safety issues.

Very nice storage travel box

It took about 3 weeks before starting to assemble...nice that all wrenches needed were included however, one allen wrench didn't fit. Directions could have used better drawings...maybe photos would have worked better. Everything worked tested in rain no problems now on to vacation.

Super addition to our SUV

I have owned one for 15 years. Great product. Super useful and functional. Provides great storage and room in our car with no change in gas mileage which is cool. It is a little finicky getting it closed if it is super full.

Excellent purchase for us

Needed the extra cargo room for road trips. Using for the first time in a few weeks. LOTS of room! I read a few reviews about problems storing when not in use. We found the perfect solution for that. The hitch is stored with our Thule bike rack to avoid the weight on it.

Great cargo carrier

Solved our problems with space in the car, love that we can still access the hatch while it’s on. The only downside is storing this huge albatross when not in use.

By far the best

I bought this thing in '04 when my former girlfriend whom I married and I went for a two month out west road trip with our dogs. Now we have kids and I have no idea why we have to travel with so much stuff. We have a Flex and we still fill this thing up on road trips. Also, it does not tax your fuel economy. It is awesome, thought, the lock n it gets dirty and can then be hard to open.

Great product

Love it. No ladders to fill it. Wife and kids can pack car. No worry about parking garages. No wind noise, decreased fuel economy. No shoulder injuries putting it on the roof. Can easily open lift gate on Acura MDX and Subaru Outback. Ingenious adapter for 1 1/4 or 2 inch hitched. Totally dry. You don't need huge SUV on family trips. You can use 3rd row seat for kids and add this for luggage. Can use this and roof rack for long trips.

Great Cargo Carrier

I just got this last week and used it this weekend. It carried several bags and was easy to load and fit a good amount. Easy to operate and you wouldn't even know its on the back.
