Rear Trunk Cargo Rack Basket for 2007-2025 Jeep Wrangler JK JL

Our review of the Hooke Road rear trunk cargo rack finds it best for Jeep owners who need to organize and expand trunk capacity without modifying the vehicle roof. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of heavy-duty load capacity and a compact, bolt-on design: it holds up to 300 lbs while dividing the cargo area into two usable spaces so coolers, luggage, and gear sit neatly above stored items. Installation is straightforward and the finish resists corrosion for regular outdoor use.

Key Features

• Vehicle fit: Designed specifically for 2007-2025 Jeep Wrangler JK and JL unlimited 4-door hardtops, it fits the vast majority of those models while excluding Sky One-Touch power tops.
• High load capacity: The tray supports up to 300 lbs, letting you carry heavy coolers and equipment without worrying about sagging.
• Secure fastening: An elastic rope net helps restrain loose items so luggage and gear stay put during bumpy drives.
• Quiet travel: EVA foam strips are included to reduce vibration and noise between the rack and the hardtop cargo area.
• Durable build: Constructed from 14-gauge and 11-gauge sheet steel with a black powder coat, it resists corrosion and stands up to frequent use.
• Simple installation: Bolt-on design with clear instructions means most users can fit the rack quickly without cutting or complicated tools.

Who It's For

The rack is ideal for Jeep Wrangler owners who take frequent road trips, camping outings, or need organized trunk storage for everyday hauling; it doubles usable cargo space and keeps bulky items elevated and secure. It also suits owners who value a durable, low-profile metal shelf rather than soft organizers or rooftop carriers.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of Sky One-Touch power tops (this rack is not compatible) and buyers who need a lightweight fabric solution for very light loads, since this product is a solid steel shelf that adds about 37 lbs of weight to the vehicle.

Pros & Cons
