Expert Answers about Hitch Cargo Carrier

• Which Carrier for 250-lb Motorcycle on 2012 GMC Savanna 1500 with 400-lb Tongue Weight Hitch
• Since you indicate your Savanna trailer hitch is rated for 400-lbs tongue weight you would not be able to utilize the full 600-lb capacity of the Rage PowerSport Motorcycle Carrier, part # SMC600. Your 254-lb motor scooter does not need this much carrying capacity. Rage also offers a 400-lb capacity carrier, part # AMC400. Please refer to the linked video. This is more than adequate to transport the scooter (with some room to spare). Since it weighs less than the larger capacity version (40 l

• Size/Capacity of OEM Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendations for 2012 GMC Terrain
• The hitch should have a sticker somewhere on it that lists its capacities. With the capacity and the size of the receiver opening, you can figure out which class the receiver is. I have linked you to an FAQ article that fully explains how to determine the size/class of your hitch receiver. For instance, if the receiver opening is 2 x 2 inches, it would be a Class III with a capacity of between 3500 lbs and 6000 towing and 300-600 lbs tongue weight. Tongue weight is the maximum amount of weigh

• Would the Rage Powersports Double Motorcycle Carrier Carry 2 Dirt BIkes or 1 Street Bike
• The Rage PowerSport Aluminum Double Motorcycle Carrier # AMC6002 that you referenced has a 600 lb capacity so as long as your 2 dirtbikes weight less than that you should be fine. Most dirt bikes weight less than 300 lbs a piece but if you have a dual sport dirt bike you will need to be sure. I would recommend you weigh each bike to be sure that they weigh less than a combined weight of 600 lbs. For your street bike that weights 450 lbs this should work very well for you. I would recommend

• Locks Available for the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier # M2200-01-02 on a 1999 GMC Safari
• The Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier with Lockable Lid and Cargo Bag # M2200-01-02 will work with the Master Lock Covered Solid Body Padlock # 141T. If you are looking for a hitch lock, I would recommend the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 7683. I have included a video of the hitch lock for you to check out. Both locks are sold separately from the cargo carrier. You will need a 2 inch receiver to carry this cargo carrier on your 1999 GMC Safari. If you do not have a receiver, I recommend the Hidden

• Will the Blue Ox Tailgator Fit a 2012 GMC Canyon to Carry a Golf Cart
• For the Blue Ox Tailgator to fit, your 2012 GMC Canyon would need to have a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver. This part does fit any size truck bed and it can be used for a golf cart. If you need a 2 inch trailer hitch, the most popular option for your truck is hidden Hitch # 87458, which fits unless the truck came with a factory hitch. I have linked a video and instructions for you.

• Do Thule Transporter Enclosed Cargo Carrier Lights Have to Be On if Vehicle Tail Lights are Visible
• If the Thule transporter, # TH665C, does not block the vehicle tail lights, then you do not have to connect the lights on the carrier (check local and state laws to be certain). If the 2012 GMC Terrain came with a 4-Way trailer connector, it should be plenty strong enough to power the simple stop, tail, and turn lights on the carrier. If you are experiencing a problem, it could indicate that something is wrong with the wiring on the vehicle or carrier. Since it is a new vehicle, it is mo

• Motorcycle Carrier for a 2008 GMC Sierra 3500 Crew Cab Dually with a Lance Camper
• We actually carry several motorcycle carriers and I have added a link to them for you. We do not have a trailer hitch mount one that is electric but we do have several with ramps. The Rage PowerSport Aluminum Motorcycle Carrier, # AMC400, is good for 400 pounds. I have included a link to a video review of this carrier for you. My main concern with this is that if you were to try to use it with the extension to clear the camper, it would be unstable and would not be the safest way to carry the

• Can CURT 20x60 Cargo Carrier # C18131 Work on 1-1/4 Inch Hitch With 1-1/4 To 2 Inch Hitch Adapter
• You can use the CURT 20x60 Folding Cargo Carrier, part # C18131, with a 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch hitch adapter on your 2011 GMC Terrain, but you will need to remember that when using the hitch adapter on your hitch it will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. If you have a Class II 1-1/4 inch hitch on your GMC Terrain the tongue weight capacity is 300 lbs. Using the hitch adapter will reduce that to 150 lbs. So, after adding 70 lbs for the weight of the cargo carrier you

• Availability of Motorcycle Carrier to Carry a Kawasaki KLR650 on a 2010 Toyota Hilux 3L
• The Rage PowerSport Steel Motorcycle Carrier, part # MX600, will carry a motorcycle not exceeding 600 lbs. It needs to be installed in a Class III or higher 2 inch hitch with at least a 500-lb tongue weight capacity. The track length is 76-3/4 inches and can hold up to 5-1/2 inch wide tires. I am including a link to a video review of the Rage carrier. After doing some research on your Kawasaki KLR650 I found out the weight of the bike is 402 lbs.

Another large folding carrier that we carry, is the Rage Powersports Hitch Cargo Carrier, item # SC500, at 28 inches by 48 inches. This carrier has6-1/2 inches of clearance when folded. It just depends whether you need the space on the carrier to be wider or deepe

• Could I Use the 28 x 48 Hitch Mounted Wheel Chair and Scooter Carrier on my 2005 GMC Envoy Denali
• Based on the weight capacity of your Envoy and the measurements of your hitch opening it would seem that you have a Class III hitch. However, Vehicle manufacturers do not necessarily use the same classes as the hitch manufacturers do. Since your 2005 GMC Envoy Denali has a 2 inch by 2 inch hitch opening you could use this 28x48 Hitch Mounted Wheel Chair and Scooter Carrier part # SC500. You would just want to make sure you stay within your vehicles towing capacity. I have attached an F

• Stable Cargo Carrier Needed When in the Folded Up Position for a GMC Yukon Denali XL
• We have several Folding carriers designed to fit in a 2 inch hitch, see link. The problem you are experiencing with cargo carriers wobbling in the upright position is inherent to the folding style of carrier and I have not seen one yet that fully addresses this issue. The Surco Products Hitch Cargo Carrier, item # 52018F, that you mentioned probably has the best hinge construction of all of the folding carriers that we carry at this time. The folding aspect also requires that the carrier be b

• Rola Cargo Carrier Part # 59502 Interfering with Tailgate on 2006 GMC Canyon Pickup
• When installed in the receiver, the highest point of the Rola 23x56 Railed Cargo Carrier is about 10 inches above the shank that slides into the receiver. Since I cannot say with certainty how far below the tailgate your receiver falls on your Canyon, if you would hold a measuring tape even with the top of the receiver opening and measure up 10 inches, you should be able to determine whether the carrier would interfere with opening your tailgate fully. I own one of these carriers myself, i

This carrier has a weight limit of 300 lbs, therefore, your generator needs to weigh less than 300 lbs and the tongue weight rating on your vehicle needs to be more than 300 lbs, in order for you to use this carrier to its full weight capacity.

• Will the SportRack Folding Cargo Carrier Fit a 2007 GMC Acadia with Factory Equipped 2 Inch Hitch
• You will need to take one measurement on your Acadia to determine hitch clearance. Lay a yard stick or dowel rod against the furthest point of your bumper. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to yard stick. If this measurement is under 6 inches, you can use the carrier. However, if this measurement is greater than 1-1/4 inches, you will not be able to fold the carrier up while on the vehicle. The Surco carrier, part # 52018F has a slightly larger basket, but significantly more clear

• Will UWS Aluminum Cargo Carrier fit my 2009 GMC Sierra
• Cargo carriers are universal items and can be used with any vehicle equipped with the proper sized hitch and the right amount of clearance. The UWS Aluminum Cargo Carrier is built for 2 inch trailer hitch receivers, which is the size hitch that a 2009 GMC Sierra is most likely built with. This cargo carrier measures 6 inches from the hitch pin hole to the platform meaning as long as your bumper does not stick out 6 inches from the hitch pin hole, this cargo carrier should fit fine.

• How Does the # SC500 Scooter Carrier Ramp Attach When the Carrier is Loaded
• When the carrier is loaded the ramp folds up at a 90 degree angle to the carrier platform and is secured with a spring loaded pin. It does not have to be removed (see video link) Installation and removal of the carrier requires the use of a wrench to secure the anti-rattle device around the carrier shank and the vehicle hitch, which reduces the noise and rattle of the carrier when installed. There is also a hitch pin and clip that must be installed to secure the carrier. This is a great wa

• Cargo Carrier Basket Light Kit Availability
• There is not a light kit available specifically for the 20x60 Folding Cargo Carrier, item # A30850. We do have the Draw-Tite Cargo Carrier Light Kit, item # 6504, which has mounting studs 2 inches on center and could be made to work with this carrier. If you would like a carrier that is the same size and that has a specific light kit available then I would recommend the 24x60 Railed Cargo Carrier for 2 inch Trailer Hitches, item # 63153, and the Light Kit for Draw-Tite, Tow Ready, and Rola Ra
