So my dad bought a car top carrier yesterday and I helped him put it on his 2006 Escalade. It was a Sears version of the Thule Evolution for $250. I tried to talk him in to a hitch carrier but he needs the hatch to open easily and often while travelling with dogs and the swing away ones cost much more. I then tried to get him to mount it backward but he wouldn't buy into it. It was a pain to install and thankfully it slid into the garage after disengaging the door opener and getting another 6'" of door lift as it was pouring rain. I bet he never takes it off as hard as it was reaching the wingnuts on the driver side. I will ask him later if he takes a hit in economy but he just bought the rig a month ago so he may not notice.
