24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Good and strong cargo carrier. I have hauled close to the 500lb limit, and it doesn't even flex. I strongly recommend some extra ratchet straps between rack and vehicle, just to remove any wiggle from play in the hitch.
Very easy to put together and it worked great!

24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
This is a heavy-duty carrier; it comes in two sections that need to be bolted together and bolted to the 2" shank. Each section is welded together and very stout; I needed to hammer in one of the plate bolts because the alignment was just a bit off. This thing is all steel, meaning it is heavy. I also purchased an anti-rattle bolt/plate which reduces a lot of the flex, though it still moves around. This will be a great addition to the truck when carrying a truck camper.

20 x 59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
We have a 2011 Ford Flex and bought this Railed Cargo Carrier along with the Highland Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Bag for our trip to the beach which took 4 1/2 hours one way. It held the luggage of 6 people with ease. The cargo carrier itself was solid, sturdy and we never had issues with it moving while driving. I liked the fact that it was out and above the exhaust pipe of the Flex. The cargo bag was definitely heavy duty and although we never had rain, it would have been rainproof for sure! The wife and I most definitely recommend these two items....worth every penny!!

20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
The C18153 performed flawlessly on our trip from NJ to FL. I chose this model because the exhaust on my Ford Flex is right in line with my hitch and the offset allowed my cargo to sit 2-3 inches above the exhaust to avoid any additional heat. The tray also sat far enough out so that I could open my back hatch without any interference of about 24" (height) of cargo. The fold up is a nice feature too. The modifications I made were the addition of a lighting kit from Tractor Supply and I plugged up all openings in the tube steel with duct seal to prevent the invitation of corrosion from the weather we experienced. I also drilled and tapped it for my license plate so that it was visible. I would definitely recommend this carrier. Service was great as well with shipment tracking. Arrived a day earlier than promised. Thank you.
This is our second purchase from this company and we could not be more pleased with the items purchased. We first purchased the Draw-Tite Max frame trailer hitch, item #75679. The purchase was simple and the video was of great help when it came to installing. We pulled a U-Haul with our Ford Flex to move our daughter to college and it could not have worked out better. The hitch was solid and we love the way it is tucked out of the way to save on the shins when loading or unloading. We were so pleased, that when we returned, we purchased the fold away cargo carrier that was recommended as well. We have no doubt it will work great to have the extra room available in the car for trips. The shipping on both items were super fast and we highly recommend this company to everyone that is in the market for great quality and service. We look forward to passing along to our friends and family high recommendations as well. Thank you e-trailer.com.

24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Tilting - Folding - 500 lbs
Super disappointed in this etrailer purchase. The product came in a large box that was fully intact and not damaged. The actual cargo basket was meticulously wrapped and appeared to be brand new as expected. The other components however, like the arm, were in boxes that were smashed, old, worn, and had multiple layers of old tape. The arm itself was scratched and banged up, even rusty in spots. Clearly it was used or had been a returned item. If I wanted a dented, gouged,and rusty Cargo Carrier I would have purchased one used, for half the price. This is not the quality I expect from etrailer.. I have purchased many racks and other items from this company and usually the quality is outstanding. This time they dropped the ball. I have since read other reviews and it is apparent that this is not an isolated incident. I'd have sent it back if it wasn't so damn heavy and awkward to lug around.
This carrier worked out great. The tilt down feature is helpful to have but I didn't really need it. However, the fold up feature was helpful when driving around, so I recommend that as a convenience. The only thing I had trouble with was the hitch bolt. I have a Thule bike rack that I've used with my truck hitch receiver and never had a problem, but this rack's hitch bolt was a real pain to get in at first. Don't be dismayed. With the rack off of the vehicle, I used some WD-40 and some lithium grease on the bolt and then used an adjustable wrench to screw it in and out a number of times. I noticed a bunch of either paint or metal shards gumming up the threads on the bolt each time I removed it. After about 5 times of screwing it in and out, wiping off the bolt with a towel, adding some more grease once in a while, it got to the point that I could screw it in and out by hand pretty easily. Problem solved. I'm really happy with this rack. It fit two big coolers of food and beer plus beach umbrellas and other stuff. It's really strong and sturdy. The biggest issue was not the weight on the rack, but whether the rear suspension on the Highlander could hold it with our other junk in the back plus passengers. :-)

23x59 Stromberg Carlson Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Carrier and box will be moved to hitch on 209 Solitude Rv to provide extra cargo carrying ability
A good size and very strong. I like the fact that it has a grated bottom, as opposed to a few bars like many of its competitors. There are many holes and notches present for any customization desired. Also makes for a great chair to relax. I also ordered the anti-rattle pin so as to fasten this tightly to the hitch. IMO that should be included with any of these trailer-hitch-Mount accessories.

20x47 Reese Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs
I received this carrier promptly after ordering by phone. The representative was cordial and knowledgable of product. My order arrived on schedule and in good condition. Assembly required about 15 minutes and was not complicated. I have not used the carrier, but did mount it on my Jeep Patriot. The construction was solid with good welds and paint. I stood in the basket and shifted my weight ( 180 lbs ) ; there was minimal flex and all connections remained solid. If purchasing this unit, it should be noted that the corners are rounded and the inside dimensions will not accomodate a rigid box of the same dimensions, and instalation of light package will also reduce inside dimentions. I am very pleased with this carrier and recomend it highly.
Good and strong cargo carrier. I have hauled close to the 500lb limit, and it doesn't even flex. I strongly recommend some extra ratchet straps between rack and vehicle, just to remove any wiggle from play in the hitch.
