It's rated for 550 lbs but what I have in mind is lightweight bulky items (tent, cot, etc.) so probably < 100 lbs. |
all these 'inexpensive' baskets need straps for heavy things, the steel just ain't there. maybe an 090 is overdoing it but loop straps around the hatch hinges work great.

I just got one of these awnings from Rack Attack in Seattle ($299 + taxes, local pickup), thanks folks for spreading the word about this deal!
Note: the amazon link is now back to $686

I bought a similar unit that looks like this;
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ivation-Smartwasher-13.../206867540
It was on super sale for like $50. It's handy as hell. Showers, dog de-sanding of their feet, washing cars where hard water is out of the tap. You can wash with the normal hose to clean and finish with these units filled with soft water or distilled. Enjoy it!

Ya sorry about that, I Googled the image and that was the first one to come up. It is available here;
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ivation-Multipurpose-Po...thena=true
But it's $190. I bought mine for $50 from a blowout sale from either Deal news or one of the similar sites years ago.
