Cargo Carrier with Spare Tire Clearance for 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
As a first step, you will need to determine what kind of clearance you will need. Measure from the hitch pin hole rearward until you clear the furthest rearward portion of the spare tire. The cargo carrier you choose will need to have a shank that is longer than that dimension. If your Wrangler has the stock tire size, this distance will be around 6 inches, but if you have larger tires, this distance could be greater.

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.

Given the platform dimensions of the Carpod, # M2200, 47 inches across and 23 inches front to back, the carrier could hold 2 barrels with up to a 23 inch outside diameter each but to err on the side of caution I would say up to 22 inches each. I have included a link to a video review for you.

Fit of Carpod Hitch Cargo Carrier #M2200 on a 2012 Toyota Highlander

Measure the distance rearward from the hitch pin hole until the furthest rearward portion of the bumper is cleared. If this measurement is less than the 4 inch hitch pin hole to basket measurement of the Carpod Carrier, it will fit.

Fit of Carpod Cargo Carrier # M2200 on 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Although the Carpod Cargo Carrier is a great product, its shorter than usual shank (4 inches) would prevent it from being used in any of the receivers offered for your 2012 Grand Cherokee. When we have installed the Hidden Hitch, Draw-Tite and Curt hitches on a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, we have found that the distance from the receiver hitch pin hole to the furthest rearward portion of the bumper is typically 4-1/4 inches. The short shank of the Carpod would not be able to slide into the rec

Is the bag in the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier, # M2200-01-02 Water Proof
The bag that is inside the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier, # M2200-01-02, is weather-resistant but is not considered water proof. For something to be considered water proof it has to be submerged under water for a certain period of time and the inside and contents must stay dry. For general rainy conditions the bag will do well to help keep items inside dry but we still recommend placing items that cannot get wet in plastic bags.

Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Recommendation to Carry a Load of 415 lbs on Rough Roads
If you are planning on carrying a load of 415 lbs on a cargo carrier on rough roads, then you will want a cargo carrier that is rated significantly higher than your load weight. The downward force of the load after a bump could exceed the 450 lb weight capacity of the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier, # M2200-01-02, and cause damage.

On the 24x48-3/4 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier, # M2200, the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the carrier is 4 inches. On the 2010 Honda Pilot, it will clear the rear bumper but you will not be able to raise the rear hatch with the carrier in place.

Trailer Hitch and Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Recommendations for a 2006 Toyota Camry
All of the trailer hitches available for the 2006 Toyota Camry are Class II trailer hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver.
