Cargo Carrier Weight and Tongue Capacity for 2010 Toyota Corolla

Expert Reply:

The 20x48 Cargo Carrier, item # 6500, weighs 47 pounds. Yes you must factor in the weight of the cargo carrier and cargo and any items loaded behind the rear axle of the car. You also need to check your vehicle maximum tongue weight rating and use the lowest maximum rating of the vehicle, hitch or cargo carrier as the weight that can be carried in the receiver hitch.

If you have a 200 pound max tongue weight rating and no items loaded in the vehicle behind the rear axle then you could carry 153 pounds safely on the, #6500, cargo carrier.
