What Customers Don’t Like
1. The Northbound Aluminum Carrier is rather expensive. However, the quality and construction of the carrier is certainly worth the price tag.
2. The corners of the square, aluminum support tube are a bit too pronounced. This makes it difficult when fitting into hitches that aren’t perfectly squared. However, this issue can be fixed with an angle grinder.
3. The sides of the carrier are not very high. If a user wishes to transport taller objects, cargo straps are recommended to ensure everything remains sturdy.
