Excellent Rack!!
MrGadget from Ocean Isle Beach, N.C.
I have had at least 2 racks in the past which mount on the trailer hitch. Each was a disappointment. I saw this one and thought I'd give it another try. It is really outstanding. Very well built, heavy duty and it's especially great in that you can use it with a trailer hitch which is low to the ground and it is elevated which keeps anything from being close to the ground. We're going to use it with our Honda minivan, as well as my Suburban. Can't say how well made and how good a design this is. The only thing I am concerned about is we got the optional light kit and the lights don't seem to sit solidly in the carrier. They seem fairly loose, but I have wire-tied the cable to the basket frame so it won't fall out completely. I am really looking forward to using this carrier. It's the very best of all of them as far as I can tell.

Great carrier

Great carrier and size. Wanted something just a little smaller than the width of my Jeep G.Cherokee. Like the elevated platform for use on the beach and high enough above the exhaust.

Best Cargo Carrier Made.

This cargo carrier is NOT the least bit flimsy, like many. It's strength is way beyond what I had hoped for and it is so easy to use and very easy to put together. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!

A very well built carrier.
Red from Southgate, Michigan
The carrier was very easy to assemble, it took less than 10 minutes of actual work after getting the parts out of the box and reading the instructions. The optional light kit presented a slight problem. Because the wagon I will haul on the carrier has a wheel base as wide as the carrier, and the tires from the wagon are located right where the light kit sits in the carrier, the tires would pop out the light kit. I went to my local trailer supply and bought 2 brackets for an oblong taillight for $7.95 each. The bracket is attached with 2 nuts and bolts and 2 fender washers to the bottom of the wire cage. If I choose I can still use the same lights in the original location. I can just un-plug the lights, pop them out and pop them back in the original location, plug the wires back on in less than 2 minutes. I noticed a few customer comments about having trouble with installing the light kit wiring. After watching the video on the installation for the light kit, I had no problem with that part of the installation at all.

Fantastic

After seeing several carriers sagging and twisted, I opted for this carrier. I couldn't be happier with it. With the Anti-Rattle Device, you'd never know it is back there. Rock solid. Light kit is a nice touch as well.
