Has anyone used a trunk bike rack like this rei.com/product/799928/thul… to haul crash pads?

Thanks!

i wouldn't, I'd just tie to the roof. Cheaper.

Yeah, toss a towel on the roof and tie it on.

ya, I've done that in the past, but I am getting a roof cargo box. Trying to maximize the space in my Yaris and minimize wind drag.

This is cheeper and may work better and will give you more options as to what you can strap to it. You will have to get some kind of hitch installed. harborfreight.com/500-lb-ca…

If it was me, and I was going to spend that much I would prefer something like this: etrailer.com/Hitch-Cargo-Ca…

which means you need one of these: autoanything.com/towing/61A…

Easy-peasy

Your know that getting a hitch installed costs a pretty penny, right?

You should be able to bolt the hitch on. It's quite easy unless you are a complete moron.
