Rola Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Review

Video Transcript for Rola Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Review

The dimensions of this are 23x56, which are on the inside of the cargo carrier itself. If you notice the sides actually slant out a little bit to provide a wider area on top, which comes out to almost 59 inches. As you can see here it has a heavy duty expanded metal base to it, this is actually one of the heaviest cargo carriers we carry. Also on the side of the rails it has built-in cut outs in case you want to add a light kit to it. This cargo carrier comes in five pieces. It sounds like a lot but it is actually realy easy to assemble. I will show you the pieces and how it comes. As I said before, it will come to you in five pieces and it is really easy to assemble. You will have a left and right hand side of the basket, two chrome handles, and last piece is the shank itself. You can see the front half of the shank here, and it goes all the way back here to your hitch. This is all a welded one piece unit. You can see here the shank has a two inch rise to it, which really helps vehicles that sit low to the ground.

So if yours does sit low to the ground this will give you a two inch rise that would be helpful to low setting vehicles like minivans. One final feature is a nice little detail if you intend to leave this on your vehicle for an extended period of time, like a road trip, what you need to do is keep your license plate in plain view. As you can see here on the handle itself, there are two holes and these are in perfect alignment to install your license plate temporarily. And in covering some of the features on this cargo carrier, besides from the two inch raise on the shank itself, the whole thing is powder coated so that is going to be durable against rust and corrosion. There is also, as we covered before, an optional light kit that is available for the part. And its carrying capacity itself is 600 pounds. However, you do want to check with your hitch and see what its tongue weight capacity is. And there you have it for part number 59502 from Rola. And also available from Rola is part number 59507 for 1-1/4 inch receivers with a 300 pound capacity.

Best value/concept for travel Picked one of these up in late June for a trip thru Northern Kentucky to the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee in July. We needed something to put our luggage in since the out of town family maxed out the seating capacity in our Tahoe. Since we already added a Trailer Hitch from etrailer.com that we added two years ago when we moved from California to Kentucky, to pull a car trailer, it was a no brainier to find something to make use of that hitch. The Rola Trailer Hitch Mounted Railed Cargo Carrier seemed to be the best value vs. design so that is the one we went with. Additionally we picked up the LED Light Kit, the Anti Rattle/Vibration Pin and the Cargo Stretch Net at the same time. The order shipped and was onsite within a couple days. Etrailer did a great job packing the entire order into one box. My little 3 year old (he is the foreman) and I had the Cargo Carrier assembled within an hour. After reviewing the Lighting instructions and doing a sample fit I decided to pick up some wire loom to cover the wires and give a finished professional look. Lighting installed with loom in an hour. Then the test fit and a smile! My wife used the carrier to move a large BBQ before our trip and told me she actually forgot it was back there until she got to the destination. I attribute this to the anti rattle pin. She was pleased and wonder why we didn’t by this sooner. The trip came and went and the carrier made it a dream. We now use this carrier on excursions since it is so easy to use and has such a great weight capacity. I recommend you to trust etrailer.com for the lowest price (shop around, I dare you), free shipping and quick turn around. Trust Rola for a quality and useful product. 1108

This was real easy to assemble with just a ratchet and a wrench. Took maybe 20 minutes. Sturdy steel construction. Looks great. A little heavy to lift once assembled, but most adults should be able to wrestle it into position without too much effort. Shipped from etrailer within a few hours of ordering. They even upgraded it from standard to 3 day for free. Awesome communication from etrailer.com. Highly recommend. Thanks!55907

Expert Answers about 23x56 Railed Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" (Class II) Trailer Hitches - 59507                                             Do you have a question about this Hitch Cargo Carrier?


  • Optional Light Kit for Rola Cargo Carrier 59507
  • Yes, the light kit, part # 20174, will fit the 23x56 Railed Cargo Carrier. The light kit is easy to install and plugs into your existing four pole trailer connection. I have included a link to a video review of the light kit.

  • Compatibility of Rola 23 By 56 Cargo Carrier on a Dodge Grand Caravan and a 2010 Subaru Forester
  • The Rola Cargo Carrier, item # 59507, will most likely fit both of your vehicles as long as they have Class 2 hitches installed. I went out to the warehouse and measured the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the carrier and found that it is 9 inches. You will need to measure the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole on your trailer hitch to the farthest out part of the vehicle or spare tire, if the Subaru has a rear mounted spare tire.

  • Recommended Flat Fixed Cargo Carrier for a 2008 Kia Sportage
  • I recommend the 20x48 Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4 inch (Class II Only) Trailer Hitches, # 63155. The great thing about this carrier is that it has a 3 inch rise for better ground clearance. This is 1 inch higher than the Rola carrier you cited. 1 inch is not much but is does make loading and unloading that much easier and it provides that much more clearance for entering and exiting driveways with steep grades and dips.

  • Recommendation Between Rola 23x56 or Tow Ready 20x48 Cargo Carrier For a 2011 Sorento
  • Unless you need that extra few square inches the larger Rola Carrier, # 59507, has to offer, I would recommend the 20x48 Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4 inch (Class II Only) Trailer Hitches, # 63155. This carrier not only gives you a 3 inch rise from the top of the hitch opening, but also 2 more inches of clearance (11 inches total) from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the carrier. You can also put in an optional light kit, # 20174, if your cargo obstructs the taillights on yo

  • Does the Rola Railed Cargo Carrier, # 59507 Have a Solid Shank and What Anti-Rattle Device Will Fit
  • I spoke with my contact at Rola and he stated that the Railed Cargo Carrier, # 59507, has a solid shank. You can still use an anti-rattle device with a solid shank accessory. I recommend the No-Rattle Trailer Hitch Wedge, # 93347. I have included a video review of this anti-rattle device below.

  • Which Cargo Carriers will Allow Access to the Rear Hatch Door on a 2002 Nissan Xterra
  • That depends on the cargo carrier and whether it is loaded or not. Many of the carriers will allow you to open the hatch when empty, but if you have a lot of stuff stacked on the carrier, your cargo may block the door. Now, there are cargo carriers that slide out, tilt down or swing out to allow access to the rear door, even when loaded. Check out the Rola Swinging Enclosed carrier, part # 59109, or the Thule Transporter Combi Carrier, part # TH665C. All of these carriers use a 2 inch

  • Will Rola Trailer Hitch Mount Railed Cargo Carrier Block Rear Door Operation on a 2010 Toyota RAV4
  • The Railed Cargo Carrier, # 59507, does have a rise of two inches from the top of the receiver opening on the trailer hitch. The outside rails are 5-1/4 inches tall. Total height from the top of the receiver opening to the highest point on the carrier equals 7-1/4 inches. If you measure from the top of the receiver opening up to the farthest part down on the rear door and it is more than 7-1/4 inches, then the cargo carrier will fit. I have included a video review below. If there is not enoug

  • Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  • Actually the Rola Hitch Cargo Carrier, part # 59507, that you referenced will work on a Class II 1-1/4 inch hitch like you have on your 2009 Pontiac Vibe without the use of an adapter. So either this carrier or the Thule Cargo Carrier, part # TH665C, would work well for you. I included review videos for both of these products below for you to check out also to help you decide which one would work best for you.

  • Rola Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier Assembly and Anti-Rattle/Hitch Lock Recommendations
  • There are actually 4 bolts that hold each side of the carrier together and 4 bolts that attach the bottom support bracket. But, yes, there are 2 bolts that hold the carrier assembly to the shank. The bolts used are 3/8 inch diameter, 3 inch long carriage bolts so they are by no means too small for the 300 pound capacity of the carrier. The weight of the carrier does not subtract from its capacity, but does count against the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch on the vehicle. There

  • Will a Class II Cargo Carrier Work in a Class I Hitch on a 2007 Honda Fit
  • The hitches available for the 2007 Honda Fit are all Class I hitches and a Class II accessory like the Rola Hitch Cargo Carrier, # 59507, will not fit in the hitch, because there is a stop inside the Class I hitch that prevents the use of Class II accessories which could overload the vehicle frame. For your Class I hitch I would recommend the Draw-Tite cargo carrier, # 6500, that is designed for a Class I hitch and has a raised shank to help with ground clearance when going over speed bumps o

  • Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2004 Toyota RAV4
  • The first thing you will want to do is measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on your 2004 Toyota RAV4 out to the distance required to clear the spare tire. On a trailer hitch we installed on the same generation RAV4 and the measurement was approximately 10 inches. On the Gear Cage, # 5800200, it measures 5-1/2 inches from hitch pin hole center to the nearest edge of the carrier. Based on the differences this carrier is not the best fit for your RAV4.

  • Trailer Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Recommendations for a 2004 Toyota RAV4 with a 2 Inch Hitch
  • If you are looking for a carrier that is 32 x 48, then the options for one with the same rails as the Gear Cage are limited to it only. I think you might like the Rola 23 x 56 carrier, # 59502. It has similar rails and it measures 12-7/8 inches from the hitch pin hole center to the nearest edge of the carrier. Plus, you can add lights, like # 20174. You would need trailer wiring on the RAV4 though to make the lights work, # 118389. We also have the 24 x 60 carrier, # 63153 has similar rails a

  • Can Rear Hatch of 2011 Subaru Forester Open When Rola Cargo Carrier # 59507 is Installed
  • By taking a few measurements, you can get a pretty accurate idea of where the cargo carrier would be situated relative to the rear of the Forester once it is installed. The angled shank will raise the carrier 2 inches above the top of the receiver, and the closest portion of the basket itself will be 9 inches rearward of the hitch pin hole. I have edited a photo that shows these dimensions. Measuring 9 inches rearward of your hitch pin hole and up 2 inches from the top of the receiver wil

  • Adapting a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch for Use with a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer hitch Mount Cargo Carrier
  • What you need is called a reducer sleeve, like # HT02. It fits into the 2 inch receiver and provides a 1-1/4 inch opening for use with the carrier. I have included a link to a video review of this part for you. The best thing about this design is that it does not reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch.

  • Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier for a 2006 Ford Mustang with Class I Trailer Hitch
  • All of the trailer hitches for the 2006 Ford Mustang are Class I hitches but the Rola cargo carrier will only fit Class II hitches. For a Class I compatible carrier, I recommend Draw-Tite carrier, # 6500. This carrier has a capacity of 300 pounds but with your trailer hitch you are limited to 100 pounds (the tongue weight capacity of a 1,000 pound capacity hitch is 10 percent of the gross trailer weight capacity). The carrier weighs about 45 pounds leaving you with 55 pounds capacity you

  • Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2013 Kia Sorento
  • The Rola 23 x 56 Railed Cargo Carrier, # 59507, would be an excellent choice for your 2013 Kia Sorento. Going with the larger cargo carrier over the 20 x 48 cargo carrier will allow you to carry larger items such as coolers, grills and luggage and allow you to carry smaller items such as chairs or other accessories. The Class II trailer hitch on your vehicle will have a 300 lb weight capacity which is equal to the weight capacity of this cargo carrier. It is important not to exceed the weight

  • Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2012 Hyundai Sonata With 1-1/4 Inch Receiver
  • The Rola Railed Cargo Carrier, # 59507, weighs approximately 69 lbs. Since your trailer hitch only has a 200 lb tongue weight capacity, you most likely have a class I trailer hitch. This Rola cargo carrier is not compatible with class I trailer hitches. Instead, I would recommend taking a look at the Surco Cargo Carrier, # 52017, or the Draw-Tite Cargo Carrier, # 6500. Both of these cargo carriers weigh approximately 49 lbs and they are designed to work with class I trailer hitches. The weig
