Has anyone tried the HF Aluminum Cargo Carrier?

I just bought one for $50 with a coupon.

If a low quality HF drill craps out, that's no big deal, but a cargo
carrier that fails at 70 MPH is a different story - mainly for the guy
behind me.

That should greatly enhance high speed handling in an emergency!

Probably less than the impact on emergency handling when I'm towing my
trailer...but thanks for playing.

Don't be too sure that you are correct on that.

The trailer being dragged behind actually has a dampening effect that
this thing completely lacks.- Hide quoted text -

True, but it also depends on the "emergency" and the corrective action
required. I'd rather run off the road onto a steeply sloped median
with the carrier than with the trailer.

I'm sure there are other situations where I'd rather have the trailer
than the carrier.

In any case, since I can't predict what will happen on any given trip,
I'll stay aware of what is attached to my vehicle and react
accordingly.
