Question:
Thinking of a hitch mounted cargo rack. Is there an issue if cargo blocks rear license plate? Do you sell turn signal brake light kit for racks?

Helpful Expert Reply:
What we've found is that even if your license plate was covered with a cargo carrier like the Reese part # 63153 you won't get in trouble as it doesn't seem to bother anyone. Also worth mentioning is that this carrier isn't super obstructive so it wouldn't block much. I personally have driven with a large enclosed cargo carrier totally blocking my rear license plate for months at a time and not had any issues at all.
We do have a light kit that will work with this carrier with the part # 98174LED as well.
