    I have a "Curt" basket. So far it seems like good build quality. I've heard about corrosion issues, but haven't seen any yet. I figure with a wire brush and some paint I can keep it up well enough. IMG_3124.JPG

    Any unwanted whistling or humming with Curt basket?
    Speed 0- 25mph? 30-50 mph, over 60 mph?

    Well I initially set the basket up more to the front however the wind noise was so loud I couldn't hear anything with the windows down. Once I slid the rack back about 3 inches from the antenna that eliminated the majority of the road noise. 0-25 I have no noise, 30-50 I have slight noise from the aerodynamics as the roof rack sits high up.
    Over 60 I get the common road noise from the basket but honestly it isn't too bad.

    Before I moved the rack father back I could feel a ton of wind resistance but now the aerodynamics seem to work in my favor finally!!
