I ordered a Kuat Vagabond X2 roof basket / bike rack because the price was right and I had researched this exact item along with several others. The X2 has integrated locks and a few other features over the others. I received a Kuat Vagabond X. I installed the product on top of my car and tried it out, not noticing the integrated locks were absent. After a few uses I noticed it was not the correct model even though the box it came in said it was the X2 model. I called Back country, they confirmed this is a known problem and offered me $50 on my account. They said they don't have any X2 models in stock. I wasn't satisfied so they said I could return it as long as it was still in "new" condition for in-store credit. They sent me a label. I told them I bought a bike rack because I need a bike rack, send me what I ordered and I'll send their mistake back to them. They said they can't do that so I say I can't recommend BackCountry to anyone or give a positive review. Buyer beware! I'm stuck with a $400 bike rack I didn't order; they can't help me by sending me the exact product I ordered from their website as advertised. They lost this customer!
