Ask the Experts about this Pro Series Hitch Cargo Carrier
Do you have a question about this Hitch Cargo Carrier?

• Why is the 63155 Cargo Carrier a Class II Only
  
• The 63115 20x48 cargo carrier is rated for class two only because of the load rating and because class two accessories will not physically fit into the class one hitch far enough for the hitch pin to line up and secure the shank. Class one hitches are only rated for up to 200 pounds tongue weight and class two hitches are rated up to 350 pounds tongue weight so the manufacturer makes the shank for the accessories according to how much weight the accessory is rated for.

• Weight of the Tow Ready 20x48 Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4 Inch Hitch
  
• I went out to the warehouse and weighed the 20x48 Cargo Carrier, part number 63155, and it weighed 45 pounds in the shipping carton. You might subtract two pounds for the box and packaging material inside. This is one of our best selling cargo carriers and is set up for easy installation of a light kit, part number 20174, (see link below) if you need to add one because the taillights on your vehicle will be covered by the items on the carrier or your state requires taillights.

• Can I Use TowReady Cargo Carrier 63155 With My Polaris RZR S UTV
  
• The maximum towing capacity of your Polaris RZR S is 1,500 pounds with a 1-1/4 inch hitch. I spoke to a local Polaris dealer and he said you probably will not want to go over 100 pounds tongue weight, or else the RZR may ride funny. The cargo carrier you were looking at is not designed for ATV/UTV use and is not the best carrier to use. We carry cargo carriers specifically for ATV/UTV use that have a higher rise to handle the off-road use. Tow Ready part # TR65852 is a 1-1/4 inch ATV/UTV carg

• What Size Hitch Is On A 2007 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer And What Cargo Carrier Or Trailer Will Work
  
• Your 2007 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer could have either a 1-1/4 inch hitch or a 2 inch hitch. You will need to measure the size of the receiver opening on the hitch to make sure what size you have. You might also see if there is a label on your hitch that will list the Gross Towing Weight and the Tongue Weight for your hitch. This will let you know the maximum weight that your hitch is rated for, which will help you choose what cargo carrier or trailer you should use. The towing weight and tong

• What is the Class and Towing Capacity of a Factory Trailer Hitch on a 2007 Mazda CX-7
  
• There are a couple of ways you can find what class trailer hitch is on your 2007 Mazda CX-7. First, you can check the owners manual to determine the towing capacity of the vehicle. This will give you an indication on what Class the hitch is. We determine a Class I trailer hitch to have a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight and a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. For a Class II hitch, it should have up to 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight capacity and 350 pounds tongue weight

• Will The Pro Series Hitch Cargo Carrier # 63155 Clear Rear Mount Spare Tire on 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  
• The Pro Series Hitch Cargo Carrier # 63155, provides 11 inches of clearance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the front edge of the carrier. This distance should allow sufficient clearance as to not interfere with your spare tire, but there are a few measurements you can take to be certain. First, you will want to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole, out 11 Inches. This is where the front edge of the cargo carrier will sit. From that point you can measure up 3 Inches to compe

• Does a Trailer Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Require a Light Kit on a 1995 Buick Roadmaster Wagon
  
• If the cargo carrier and the cargo loaded on it do not obscure the vehicle tail lights, you do not have to have a light kit installed on the carrier. However, it is still a good idea to get a light kit for safety purposes. Since you have the wagon model of the 1995 Buick Roadmaster, you would first need to install Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118352. For cargo carrier, # 63155, you can use light kit # 20174. I have included a link to the installation details for the vehicle wiring a

• Is There A Hinge Kit Available For The 1-1/4 Inch Pro Series Hitch Cargo Carrier # 63155
  
• There are not folding hitch cargo carriers available for 1-1/4 inch hitches. The reason for this is because of the extra distance the carrier would sit away from the vehicle with a hinge. The extra distance would put too much torque on the hitch and vehicle frame when the carrier is loaded. There is not a hinge section available that you can add to the Pro Series Hitch Cargo Carrier, part # 63155. If you wanted to install a folding cargo carrier on your Subaru Forester you would need to in

• Can Pro Series Hitch Cargo Carrier # 63155 Fit a Class III Hitch on a 2010 Toyota Venza
  
• You can use a hitch reducer like the Brophy Hitch Reducer, part # HT02, in your class III 2 inch hitch to reduce the 2 inch opening to a 1-1/4 inch opening. The hitch reducer will have a maximum tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs, which is the same weight capacity as the Pro Series Hitch Cargo Carrier, part # 63155. The hitch reducer comes with a 1/2 inch pin and clip to hold your 1-1/4 inch cargo carrier. You will need to order a hitch pin or lock such as the Hidden Hitch pin and clip, part

• Cargo Carrier # 52017 Recommendation for a 2000 Nissan Maxima
  
• For your 2000 Nissan Maxima I would recommend you get a 20x48 Cargo Carrier # 52017 as this cargo carrier is compatible with vehicles that have Class I hitches like what would be on your vehicle. This carrier would do well on your 4,000 mile road trip. The Cargo Carrier # 63155 that you referenced would not work for you since it is only for vehicles with Class II hitches and there are no Class II hitches available for your vehicle. I attached an FAQ article on hitch classifications for you to

• Will The Pro Series Hitch Cargo Carrier # 63155 Fit 2008 Volvo S60 Sedan
  
• To determine if the Pro Series Hitch Cargo Carrier # 63155, will fit your 2008 Volvo S60 Sedan, you will need to take a measurement. You will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole, to the edge of your rear bumper. If the measurement is less than 11 inches, the # 63155 will fit. The Pro Series Cargo Carrier will fit 1-1/4 inch hitches like the Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch, part # 90804, which fits the Volvo S60. The shank on the Pro Series carrier bends up to provide plenty of

• Trailer Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier for a 2011 Chevy HHR with a Class I Trailer Hitch
  
• We have installed the CURT Trailer Hitch, # 11447, on a 2009 model Chevy HHR and on it, the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the distance required to clear the rear bumper was 6-1/2 inches. This is the important measurement to take when choosing a trailer hitch mounted accessory. So I would measure on your vehicle just to be sure. The Pro Series Carrier, # 63155, is for Class II trailer hitches only and will not work with a Class I trailer hitch. Instead, I recommend the Draw

• Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendations for a 2011 Kia Sportage

I would definitely go with a Class III trailer hitch, like # 87612. (With the Curt hitch you would have to use a stabilization strap # 18050 for non-trailer loads per Curts warranty requirements.) In addition to more capacity, you will have a wider range of options as far as what carriers you could use and a Class III hitch is more versatile all around when co

• Can a Bike Rack be Added to the Back of a Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier
  
• If you mean can a trailer hitch mount bike rack fit in the opening on the shank at the back of a cargo carrier like # 63155, then no, it is too small and neither product is rated for that type of application. It would produce too much torque on the trailer hitch resulting in damage to the hitch and vehicle. There is a cargo carrier that you can add a bike adapter bar to and use the carrier as a bike rack. Take a look at # 6500 and the adpater # 6505. The adapter also fits carrier # 6501 for 2

• How to Carry a Power Chair with a 2010 Chevy HHR
  
• All of the trailer hitches for a 2010 Chevy HHR are Class I trailer hitches so you will not be able to use a hitch mounted carrier. But I do have a safer solution for you. You can install a trailer hitch like # 24756 and then use a small trailer specifically designed for powered chairs and scooters, # UWT1. This trailer has plenty of capacity (1,200 pounds) and space (2 feet 4 inches wide by 4 feet long on the deck) to handle the power chair. You will also need a properly sized ball, # 1

• You will have no problem inserting the shank of the Pro Series Cargo Carrier, # 63155, into the 1-1/4 inch receiver on your new 2013 Subaru Crosstrek. The important factor to consider when using this cargo carrier on your vehicle is cargo carrier to bumper clearance. To find this clearance, we need to take one simple measurement. You will want to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on your trailer hitch receiver to the furthest back point on your bumper (see photo). If that measure

• Fit of Pro Series # 63155 Cargo Carrier in OEM Class II Receiver on 2013 GMC Terrain
  
• The Pro Series Cargo Carrier you referenced, part # 63155 is compatible with a 1-1/4 inch receiver, as long as it is a Class II. I did some research, and confirmed that the 1-1/4 inch OEM hitch on the 2013 GMC Terrain is indeed a Class II hitch, so the cargo carrier will fit and would work very well for you. If the load on the carrier obscures your taillights, an optional light kit is available, part # 20174 or part # 98174LED for LED lamps. If you need to protect your gear from inclement wea

• Can I Put a Class 2 Cargo Carrier in My Class 1 Hitch as Long As I Do Not Exceed my Hitch Capacity
  
• Even though the Class I and Class II receivers both offer a 1 1/4 inch receiver the inside of the Class I is shorter. This means Class II accessories will not slide all the way in and the hitch pin holes will not line up preventing you from inserting the pin and clip. You will not be able to use the Class II cargo carrier in the Class I hitch. We do have 2 cargo carriers that will fit your hitch, Draw-Tite part # 6500 and Surco part # 52017. I will link them below.
