- Platform tilts down with the box loaded, so the hatch still opens
- Lockable lid and lockable hitch attachment keep gear and carrier secure
- Sits low behind the car, so loading is easier than a roof box and the roof stays free
- Platform folds up vertically when the box is off
- The most expensive box here at about $1,750
- Box rated for only 110 lb
- Over 80 lb all in, so the platform and box are a two step lift
