Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

I just picked up a non-folding basket from Princess Auto for $55... seems like a good deal for what it is, and I'm just gonna be using it for picking up wvo, no off-roading.

When we get one we'll probably go for the metal basket that slides into the hitch. It's the size of a small roof rack, and you don't get the drag and poorer fuel economy of a roof rack. Also, if you ever travel on the ferry, a roof rack (even an empty one) will always make you over height and thus more $$$ to pay.

Here's what the $55 rack looks like:







They have a $99 one now that folds too, but I can just toss this in the van when not in use since I'm not carrying around lots of people most of the time.

Glad you don't plan 4'bying with that model;

Yeah, doesn't look too strong, for offroading I think a tube straight from the rack to the hitch would be much stronger. Also, I don't see the triangular bits mine has, maybe they beefed it up a little after lots of returns.
