Best Toyota Camry Hitch Cargo Carriers

Once it was together, I really liked it. It wasn’t that easy to put together and it required metric tools which I had to search for. It worked well and it was very useful.

Great little rack that does it's job. 4/5 due to two factors, one being its maximum 150lbs rating & two for being positioned DIRECTLY behind the stock exhaust on the 2017 Fiesta ST. We used this to driving across the country (Seattle, WA > Norfolk, VA) and it worked great, after wrapping our suitcase that was directly behind the exhaust in some heat resistant insulation. It did Melt the canvas tarp slightly but after the insulation, the suitcase was fine. Definitely was a lifesaver for space, with three adults, a chihuahua and 17lb cat being in the car for 45 hours, over the span of 5 days.

From start of project to finish, e-trailer was there for me all the way. They helped me figure out which would fit my very specific application, then shipped the product extremely quickly. Everything worked as it should and looks awesome.

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.

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.

My 9 year old and I were able to assemble and install this in about an hour. The anti rattle bolt recommended in the video, and the lights, were great additions and I definitely recommend them too. Handled a 900 mile round trip around the northeast and had plenty of room to bring Xmas presents home in the Curt waterproof cargo bag.

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.

After purchasing a 2018 Honda CR-V Touring, my honey-to-do-task of having to bring trash to the dump every week must be done. I am not a big fan of placing trash inside my new car, despite having a rubber liner. So I purchased the Curt 2 inch receiver hitch and had it installed by my local mechanic. I did not want to have to hook up my small utility trailer to go to the dump since I have to go to work and park in a parking garage after making my trash drop off. I came across this Carpod M2205 walled carrier. I am thrilled with this and like the way it folds up when not in use. There was a simple assembly process to go through after it was received (quick shipping by the way). It is a little heavy placing into the hitch receiver, but note it is easier to place it into the hitch when folded up. I wrapped a piece of duct tape around the exact place of the insertion bar to line up the holes of the hitch pin. Its carrying capacity is well within what I need, and I am quite impressed. There is not much movement of the carrier while driving except for big bumps or potholes. This is an excellent alternative to carrying household garbage inside my new car. The walls are held in place with metal pins and a strap, that is a little short and could be a little bit longer. That would be my only complaint about using this car carrier. Otherwise, I highly recommend this for anyone who needs to carry items outside or to need more space.

I purchased this for a 800-mile round trip vacation to Mammoth Lakes. It greatly extended the amount of luggage and gear we could bring with us, as we head 4 adults and a dog in the car. I could hardly tell the cargo carrier was back there while driving, and it didn't impact my gas mileage at all. I assembled and installed this myself, and it was super easy (although would be easier with a second set of hands.) I also purchased a stretchy net cargo cover, which allowed us to pack above the the actual height of the carrier itself. I attached my license plate to the cargo carrier work zip ties, although I will need to get a bracket with lights for the future of doing nighttime driving. I have no regrets on this purchase and highly recommend!

This thing was not fun to put together. At all. But I got fair warning about it from the reviews. I suggest a 17mm socket bit and a drill. Plan on taking it apart a couple times so don't cinch it down tight at first. Once it is put together it's a solid unit. It'll be nice for our camping trips. The light bulky stuff that took up precious real estate can now ride outside.

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.

The cargo carrier came exactly as billed. It was simple to put together and was perfiect for my first two dump runs.

packing box arrived damaged. content slightly damaged, contacted etrailers and no joke,received reply within minutes. settled for a reduced price, (my choice] great product and exceptional customer service. would recommend this provider and product anytime!

Don't recommend this product for anyone wanting to transport a bike over 250lbs. It's two separate pieces bolted together, and after setup I didn't feel confident in its ability to hold my Honda ct110 just by the look of it. The bike's wet weight is 203lbs, and when I mounted my bike to this unit it didn't feel sturdy at all. The photos I included show where the four bolts easily started to concave, I didn't feel like I was over tightening. So, beware of this if you do get this product. After I knew this wasn't the product for me I did try contacting their customer service to see what they could do, but didn't hear back from them at all. So without any hope for a resolution, this ended up being donated to the local goodwill. Hope this helps others think twice about purchasing.

Survived multiple trips with my Svartpilen. I have thick offroad tires that do not sit down in the channels well, but most won't have that issue.

Got the CC-100 for my travel trailer along with a lockable rattle proof lock pin and 20 Cu.Ft. etrailer cargo bag.I added some reflective tape on the back and sides. Ready to roll...

Very sturdy rack. Purchased my first one years ago and have thousands of miles on it with some heavy loads. Lots of tie-down options and rugged steel sides that don't flex. Pretty easy to assemble. Use with a hitch tightener to eliminate rattle.

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

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.

I love this unit! I’m an avid Camper and Jeeper. My rig has big tires including the spare that requires additional clearance. In addition to hauling my gear, I had concerns about ground clearance off roading and stability. This unit exceeded my expectations on every point! I can even open the tailgate with the unit on and it still has enough clearance to fold up when not loaded. In addition to a great product, the order was confirmed and shipped same day and on my doorstep two days later. It was pretty easy to put together but having a second person to help and fit it on the first time is helpful. Great product!

outstanding experience. my first choice for future RV and trailer needs.

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.

Super easy to install. Took about 30 minutes to get it all done. Swapped out with 8 cores so keys are the same. Easy replacement. Well built. E-trailer also shipped ahead of the light kit which was not in stock after I called. Fast and free shipping. Excellent communication from E-trailer and Lauren A took care of my phone call and got the in stock items shipped right away. Will definitely be coming back for more equipment for my vehicles.

The carrier worked great on the backof my wife's SUV. She carried an electric recumbant trike and it fit well. Had to let some air out of the two front wheels to fit inside the lip, but traveled well across the country.It is heavy, which of course is good and bad, and makes it difficult to place in receiver by yourself.

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.

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 carrier came quickly and installation was easy. I bought it to carry a generator for my 5th wheel and it did an excellent job. The problem is trying to get the $[XX] dollar rebate. I have decided the rebate isn’t worth it. After 2 1/2 hours filling out the form, talking to Curt at the number given on the form only to be told that Curt did not offer a $[XX] rebate and to contact etrailer. I called Amy at etrailer and was told to call Curt /Lippert . Curt customer service told me that it does not promote rebates, as they don't sell to the public and to contact etrailer, They did attach the link to the form, which could have been helpful had I not already filled it out. I filled out the online form again and was again informed the information I provided did not qualify. I then called, etrailer customer service and spoke to a very nice young man that spent a day following up on the problem. He told me that etrailer had no information of my claim. I believe the carrier is worth the price but the rebate was the deciding factor in purchasing the Curt over another brand.

This is a sturdy carrier. Welds all seem good. Paint is just fine. Steel tubing is very strong. The weight is heavy but reasonable for one person to install and remove. I plan to remove it when not in use on our trip to avoid having to fold it up and lose ability to access the hatch on our van. It has a bit of play in both the receiver and on the folding hinge. I’m going to use construction shims taped in place to reduce the wiggle but even without those, it’s not bad. Even with a jumbo cooler, we can still see the plate. This will do the trick for vacation and camping gear without having to haul a massive 60” carrier. Love the size and build.

Love this unit! Install was simple. It's solid, heavy duty, and folds up out of the way.

Had another rack that was cheaper but not wide enough for what i needed that seemed a lot better built, not impressed with build but do like the folding gate and the tie down holes in the sides, I wouldn’t go as low as a three star rating but I don’t really think it is worthy of a four star either

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

Madison M of etrailer.com was of tremendous help when ordering a slide out Gear Space Carrier for my motorhome. I was under time constraints and the delivery date was beyond when I was to travel. Explaining this to Madison she advised she could not guarantee delivery to meet my time constraints but would do her best. Well, she did. Delivery occurred within a few days with plenty of time to install the carrier and make for a much more convenient vacation. Madison is an awesome customer service rep for etrailer.com!

Bought this box to house spare tire and miscellaneous camp gear that doesn’t fit in the boxes on our Leisure Unity. Installation was easy and box performed perfectly. Shipped right on time and put it work the next day. Used it on a trip around Lake Superior. Plenty of room left after packing it full of stuff. The only reason for 4 stars was the anti rattle pin that locks the slide into place is a pain to install and remove. It needs to be larger or shaped differently. It makes old guys with old wrists say bad words! I will fix mine before the next outing.

We had an issue with the pin holes aligning that allow the sides to connect to one another. I sent etrailer a message and they were quick to replace it. It’s not a really high quality basket but it’s one of the few that are caged in and fold up and out of the way like this. I use a hitch stabilizer with it as well since this is on the back of a 5th wheel. Overall happy with it but feel like the consistency and alignment of the walls could be better.

Very Good product that fit our needs well for extra carrying space for 5 day road trip with 5 people in Subaru Outback. Wanted something in addition to our cartop carrier that we could lock up gear in as we left car parked for several hours as we explored the coast and Redwoods. Stored a 52 qt cooler, Coleman collapsible 2-burner propane stove, milk crate, similarly sized-plastic bin of odds and ends, 3 camp chairs, large sun shade, blue tarp. All fit with bag closed and top on (used 3 same keyed locks with long U shackles (think 2 inch). Worked great and could barely see it in rearview mirror (had to really look for it) and could not hear it when travelling ( Did use antirattle plate, and hitch lock) . With gear did not feel it alter driving feel at all. Fit 2 inch hitch well and allowed rear gate to open with a couple millimeters clearance to spare (Fantastic! didn't think we would be able to open gate). Fitted with lights, harness was easy and I opted to attach all with twist ties. Quickly made lic plate holder out of sheet metal and used a battery powered light to illuminate plate to stay legal at night. Added some reflective tape all around. Set up worked great and without any problems. No problem travelling with in either up (folded up, no gear) or down (gear stowed and top locked on) position. While at campsites used as counter top for light items and place to spread out wet towels. No problem with CarPod bag but did not have any real precip to test, kept dusty roads out though. The corner ties on bag are a bit short but no big deal. Thought I might build a frame to add rigidity but wasn’t really necessary for us. Overall good item.

This product is great for those who own SUVs. My Wife and I bought this hitch box for our Highlander to get some added hauling space for our family vacations. The added space allowed us to bring our BOB double stroller and beach chairs which would not have fit in the car with the coolers and suitcases. In a Highlander XLE this hitch box almost doubled the storage capacity of the vehicle for us. We took careful measurements of all of our gear before picking this model. The PROs for this hitch box are ease of installation on the vehicle, plus the multiple tie down holes make it easy to pack. ALSO FOR PARENTS! This hitch box will hold a BOB double jogging stroller. The wheels will fit right around the top edge (see photo) which means you do not loose storage space UNDER the stroller! This allowed us to put umbrellas and other bags in the box and the stroller+straps stopped these items from falling out. The CONs for this hitch box are the ease of assembly and the shipping material. The box was a little worse for wear when UPS dropped it off with some bent corners on the side panels of the hitch box. The primary main issue with assembly is two of the bolts that hold the bottom to the side are above the main center support making these two bolts incredibly frustrating to install. The second issue with assembly is the corner braces that firm up the vertical corners. The holes perfectly align on each corner, making tightening the bolts fully hard because you may not be able to fit a wrench in the space.

Good, rugged design. I sometimes worry about the ground clearance, but that has more to do with my vehicle and hitch than the design of the Big Boss. Once mounted, the silent hitch pin does a great job of securing the rig and eliminating noise. Very sturdy. I really like that there are several hole punches for tying down or ratcheting down your goods. I like the 6" tall walls, really keeps everything well protected. I was able to fit 3 full coolers on the Big Boss, and the best part is that my hatch was still able to open and close with ease. The license plate and brake lights are both still visible, so there is no need to move the tag or set up trailer electronics. Awesome!

This my the second Carrier. I backed my first one into a pole and "TACO'd" it. I wouldn't have bought the second if it wasn't such a necessary option for my RV Good quality!

I gave etrailer.com 5 stars for there product support and getting the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier #M2200-2201 to me in time for our trip despite the bad weather across the Country and 5 Stars to Carpod for a great product that was easy to assemble and mount on my trailer. It easily held all needed it for.
