Video Transcript for Lets Go Aero Telescoping Gear Cage Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Review
Today we are going to show you part number 5800400 from Lets Go Aero and Highland, the gear cage telescoping cargo rack. One of the features that we will first cover with this cargo carrier is the built-in anti-rattle device. You can see here, we have a bolt that goes into the hitch, and it goes into the anti-rattle device that is inside the cargo carrier shank. Bolt it down and you are ready to go down the road without any rattles.
Next we will show you another part of the cargo carrier, the telescoping option. What you can do is basically just pull it out away from your vehicle so you have access to the rear of your vehicle. Whereas with an SUV, with its liftback gate, or with a pickup truck, as shown here, you can lower the tailgate. First what you want to do is go ahead and pull out the safety pin that is in the back. It is pretty similar to the bolt that works up to the front for the anti-rattle device. To keep you from pulling the cargo carrier too far, it actually comes with a built-in safety cable, as shown right here. As you can see at the end of the cargo carrier, on the end of the telescoping portions, are actual reflectors that get installed to increase your visibility.
With this cargo carrier, you can carry a variety of different materials with this, from gardening materials to sporting goods to coolers or gas cans. Anything that you do not want to carry inside your vehicle but need to haul it, this is the way to go. As long as your weight capacity does not go over 300 lbs, you can haul anything with this. And there you have it for part number 5800400 from Highland and Lets Go Aero.

- Recommeneded Mobility Scooter Carrier for a 2010 Kia Sedona
- The Gear Cage Cargo Carrier you were looking at is a great product but because it lacks a ramp, I would consider it unsuitable for carrying a mobility scooter. We do not currently have a carrier with the exact measurements you mention, but the Rage Power Sports Mobility Scooter part # SC 500 features a 28x48 inch deck with a 60 inch long ramp that folds down along side to make loading and unloading a scooter much easier than trying to lift it.

- What is the Maximum Twin Tube Extension on the GearCage Slide-Out Extra Large Cargo Carrier
- The GearCage Twin Tube Slide-Out Extra Large Cargo Carrier, item # 5800400, slides out a maximum of 20-1/2 inches from the towing position.
This carrier is not designed to be transported with the carrier slid out away from the rear of the vehicle. The extra torque applied to the trailer hitch could cause the carrier, hitch or vehicle frame to fail. The extension is only designed for access to the rear of the vehicle.

- Does GearCage Twin Tube Slide-Out Extra Large Cargo Carrier, # 5800400 Fit a 5th Wheel Trailer
- The GearCage Twin Tube Slide-Out Extra Large Cargo Carrier, # 5800400, should fit in either one of the 2 inch receivers on your trailer.

If that distance is less than 9 inches, this carrier will clear the rear of the trailer.
On a 5th wheel trailer, there will be significantly more bouncing at the rear of the trailer as compared to the rear of a vehicle. Because of this, I

- In order for the GearCage Twin Tube Slide-Out Extra Large Cargo Carrier, # 5800400, to clear the spare tire on your Jeep Wrangler, you would have to use a hitch extension. The trouble is that when you use a hitch extension like the Brophy, # HE06, the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch is reduced by 50 percent. You would have to be cautious not to overload the carrier or damage to the hitch, carrier, vehicle, or cargo could occur. I have included a link below to the available hitch exte
