Best 2019 Mazda CX-5 Hitch Cargo Carriers

The rack is much bigger than my previous one. I was disappointed that it was made in China instead of the USA. It assembled very easily and the light kit works very well. The only draw back is I can no longer open my tailgate with the rack installed due to the spare tire hitting the raised rack.

Easy to assemble. Karen was very helpful in the ordering process. Thank you

Quite disappointed in this, honestly. etrailer did nothing wrong and I WILL be ordering from them again, great prices, shipping was fine. But... I will be asking for a refund as this carrier was not assembled-able. Most of the parts didn't line up even with everything loosened and the powder coating was ruined in some places. I've been in manufacturing quality control for several years, I'd never let something in this condition and this out of spec out the door. This is Curt's fault, not etrailer's.

Good bumper protection. I spun out on ice going 70 and there was no damage to my car at all. It did however crush my carrier.

Seems like a excellent product very good instructions. Haven't used it yet but did install on my Class B RV.

Purchased this 1 year ago. Worked awesome for a 9.000 mile cross country trip with three off road adventures at geology tour road Joshua tree, west side road Death Valley, and kingman wash lake mead. No rattle, always secure, great clearance. Would purchase again.

Cargo carrier works as designed. Packaging was excellent and shipment/delivery was fast (3-4 days). Assembly instructions were clear, and one person can assemble it with 13mm and 19mm socket and open-end wrenches. Placing it in the square hitch the first time was a bit tricky: I had to get down on the floor to see when the latch pin holes aligned. Once it was installed, I marked the carrier bar with marking tape to make it easy to install the next time. I'm using the carrier for gas and diesel fuel cans for my tractors. The 2025 Honda CR-V rear hatch clears the carrier (a positive) but the backup warning system sees the carrier as a hazard and alarms continuously (a feature to deal with). I'm pleased with carrier and recommend it.

Great value and a lot of strength! This thing has already been on multiple trips and with the right container, it's practically doubled my cargo capacity. Would recommend

Great design and sturdy. I got two hitch pin stabilizers for hitch and folding pin and it worked awesome. I use it for storage for cab over camper and the carrier fits flush with open tailgate. Carries generator water fire wood and I use it as a step to get into the camper.

Bought for my 2020 XC 40. I’ve taking it on several long distance hauls and it’s frees up a lot of space inside the car. I love that you can open the trunk and get items while having the carrier on. The car handles very well with is on. However I would suggest you buy a hitch stabilizer to stop rattling it make the car a carrier act as one. It folds up when not in use so nothing sticking out when not in use.

Used it a hand full of times for camping with two different SUVs and its been great. Once over 2000 miles round trip. With the waterproof bag you can hold more gear since it goes above the side rails. Just be careful if your driveway slopes down you’ll lightly scrape the ground when backing out. And if you have a smaller suv or car make sure you center the heaviest items or it will feel it pulling back and forth on the freeway.

The trailer carrier has been a wonderful blessing since we purchased it. It's sturdy, strong, and easy to store. We used it initially for a trip from Oklahoma to Florida, and everything was transported safely and easily. As I recall, I think someone in Florida asked us about the carrier. We definitely told them to consider buying one. My husband did significant research before the purchase. He DEEPLY appreciates produces that are established with high quality standards. How disappointing and frustrating to buy something and to see it break or deteriorate prematurely because its components were poor and frankly cheap. Thus, the cost was quite reasonable. To date, the carrier continues to serve us. Once you purchase such an item, you may be surprised how practical and useful it truly is. I believe we used it locally when we transported and gave our close friends a refrigerator we weren’t using. We used the carrier last summer on our trip to Michigan with our two large dogs. The dogs rode comfortably with us in our SUV while the luggage rode in the carrier. Wow! Our dogs were certainly grateful for the extra space. My husband also secured two tarps on the Hitch Cargo Carrier Bag for additional protection against the rain. He used several bungie cords that were easy to apply because the carrier has so many places on which to secure the hooks. Nothing was wet or damaged. My extremely gifted and creative husband was able to relocate the license plate so that it would be visible in certain states that require license plate visibility at all times. We are both satisfied with this product. God bless you, and thank you for the one year inquiry! Keep creating products with excellent craftsmanship.

Works great for camping trips. Also, adapted carrier to hold a electric wheel chair which a foldable ramp (adapted) is used to get it up on the carrier.

The only one I could find for a 1 1/4" hitch. I upgraded the bolts to grade 5 and added spring loaded hooks. Love the way it connects to the hitch. Very solid. Pleased that this is available for this size hitch.

I can't say I'm entirely happy with my purchase. The instructions were more confusing than helpful. Note in "instruction.jpg" photo of STEP 1 that the text says to put the 8 small bolts in from the inside first, but the drawing clearly shows them as going in from the outside. The last step says to place the ramp onto the receiver as shown.... glad I didn't throw away the box because there is no drawing that shows ramp installation. Actually, the photo on the box was more helpful than any of the instructions. Also, I need to make a trip to the hardware store to buy longer medium bolts because the ones that came with the carrier were not long enough to fully engage the self locking feature of the nylon lock nuts. At a minimum a couple of threads should protrude beyond the nylon. See photo "nut.jpg". The bolt threads don't reach the end of the nylon, so the self locking feature is not fully engaged. I did tighten the nut, but that was as far as it would go. I think once I get back from the hardware store with the new medium bolts and after I reverse the 8 small bolts (I followed the drawing and not the text of the instructions), I'll be OK with the carrier.

Great product and experience from the beginning!! We ordered it with the free standard shipping 5-7 days and I got an email saying they shipped it express 3-5 days at no extra cost!!! We received it really fast!! I also feel it is a great buy for the money!!! We haven't used it on our motor home yet but used it yesterday on our truck to pick up our new scooter. It worked perfectly! We also purchased the Anti-Tilt Bracket ANTI-REV-REV and I highly recommend it!! Without it there was a little wiggle but with it it didn't move at all. Can't wait to try it out on our first camping trip in the motor home!!!

Unfortunately we can’t open rear of 2018 expedition with the top box in place. One of the knob locking pins is/was broken in shipping. I also wish all of the items were keyed the same. This whole setup is 5 keys. I’ll probably call a locksmith and have them all re-keyed if possible.

Customer Service is top notch! We are just getting started with our modifications and I guarantee you that all of our products will be purchased from etrailer. Neil went over and above to take care of us, Thank you!

Nice size, solid. I looked at what it would look like on the front and on the back, and it’s stuck out too far in the front, fits perfect on the back. I had to use the universal brackets instead of the tapped brackets, and it’s still very solid. I got this from my sister on her farm, she is already pleased.

I recently purchased a basket from etrailer, with fast service and reliable shipping I got it on time, The quality of the basket very good and reliable. Thank you for such great service Robert

Works great! I needed a rack for transporting bales of hay to my animal sanctuary that was light enough for me, a very petite 60+ woman, to put on/take off by myself. It works perfectly. I did have to buy an extension (was about $10) due to the rear spare tire on my Jeep. Well worth the investment as I use it 2-3 times a week.

Quite satisfied with the product quality and strength. I did as other commenters advised and used double stick tape on the reflectors. The original didn't adhere adequately in cold weather.

This is a great cargo carrier with a lot of room, not too happy with the price. We are using this to transport wheelchairs and walkers. We can carry two wheelchairs and a rollater plus rugs, chairs, etc. The top is a clam shell that opens and closes easily once the latches are released. A couple things could be better. The very long power cable that brings power to the license plate light and brake lights has lots of slack when the carrier is not extended, but no way to control it. I've been looking for a spring that I could use to retract the power cable, yet give it some slack when the carrier is pulled out. The other thing is the pair of "locks" that apparently lock the carrier. The locks are flimsy and are not much more than another set of fasteners and would keep out only the most casual thief. Also, the lock between the carrier and the vehicle is very hard to reach, for both locking and unlocking; fortunately, the lock part can be pushed onto the rod while locked. A cable would be easier to deal with but would rattle while driving.

Excellent service with etrailer and expeditious shipping! Couldn’t be happier and thank you!!! The model cats are not for sale sadly ??

Very fast shipping, I like that.now about this rack,very well built and easy to put together.ramp is ok but not good enough for me,to steep,took to a welder shop and had another 2ft added,now it's 6ft long and folds up the same way,now it works great.this rack sits about 4ft from the truck so I'm putting lights on this and new stickers,the ones that are on suck,they fell off.now the receiver of the rack,can be turned to make the rack lower but to me it's to low and will drag in dips so I have it up high,its about 2ft now and can't drag that why I added to the ramp,make it work for you.now this rack does wobble some so buy a hitch stabilizer for 20 bucks that stops that problem. This is still better than dragging around a trailer and still I can park in a parking lot so it works for me

Like some of the previous reader comments, I would agree that two of the bolts simply do not work as given because the carrier's mesh base interferes when trying to tighten the screws (see image of bolt hole). I had to purchase 2 replacement bolts that had a flat edge by the bolt head (see image of two bolts - 3/8" original on top and replacement on bottom). Once they are in, though, things look pretty good. The reflective tape is angled and does seem flimsy but I purchased some new tape at the local Home Depot. One other item to note is that the pull pin does not do a good job of engaging with the clip. It seems to me as though a bungee cord or strap would be used to hold the ramp in place so that it doesn't fall down because you really can't rely on the pin. I haven't had a chance to take it on the road yet but I did connect it to my vehicle's hitch, loaded my snow thrower, and it seems to be a good purchase so far.

Purchased this to carry an e-trike on the front of my truck. It was the only one I could find that would accommodate the 30" width of the trikes rear wheels.

The frame is cracked …. very disappointed Needed this for a hunting trip now I’m scared to put anything on it
