I got mine used, so I don't know the exact model, but it is 4x4 with 6" sides. Mine is attached with horizontal mighty mounts, which makes it pretty easy to install and remove. The previous owner (Carlton) installed aluminum strips for a floor, which has held up very well for the 4 years I've had it.
A cooler and spare tire would be a tight fit or not at all depending on the size of each, not to mention it would completely kill your gas mileage. I see about a 1 to 2 mpg drop when I have the rack installed on long trips, without large items sticking off the top. Just something to keep in mind. That being said, I love having it.
