  • Differences Between Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier # M2200-2201 and # M2205-2201
    There are a couple of primary differences between the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier # M2200-2201 and the upgraded # M2205-2201. The first difference is that the Carpod # M2205-2201 features a hinged shank that allows you to fold up the carrier against the vehicle when it's not in use (see attached image). The # M2200-2201 has a fixed shank that cannot be moved. Another improvement on the # M2205-2201 is that it has an angled shank that provides 5-1/2 inches of additional ground clearance. Other...

  • Comparing Carpod Hitch Cargo Carriers with Lid for Differences
    Hello John. The 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier w/ Lid - 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 450 lb # M2205-2201 is only different from the # M2200-2201 in that it has a 4 inch rise in the shaft and allows folding for storage close to the vehicle.

  • Does 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier w/ Lid # M2205-2201 Have Capacity for 55 lb Scooters
    Hey Eric, the floor of the 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier w/ Lid # M2205-2201 that you referenced is definitely strong enough for the electric scooters you mentioned. The carrier has a 450 lb weight capacity which was not specified as an "evenly distributed 450 lbs" so it would be totally fine. If this were an issue we would have for sure seen it already as well.

  • Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon
    A lot of the steel cargo carriers do use a lot of the same features and so what typically differentiates them are subtle things like the hitch pin used or the height of the wall used to contain the cargo. If you're in the market for a standard hitch cargo carrier what I actually recommend picking up is the aluminum carrier by Flint Hill Goods: Flint Hill Goods 60" x 22" Cargo Carrier - # FHG49ZR This carrier rises above the rest because it only weighs in at 18 lbs but it's still able...

  • License Plate Bracket Needed for 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier
    We do have license plate brackets like part # LP10SB that you could use to move your license plate so it sits behind the 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier # M2205-2201. If you plan on driving at night time you should make sure to have a bracket with a light like part # PM436B. If you go this route then you will also need a wiring harness like part # HM38134 (you will connect the wire from the light to the brown wire and then cap off the additional wires for this application).

  • Weather Proof Cargo Bag Recommendation for 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier M2205-2201
    The recommended cargo bag for the Carpod Carrier part # M2205-2201 that you referenced is the Carpod Bag part # M2202. This bag is specifically designed to fit the inner dimensions of the # M2205-2201 so it would be the best choice. This bag is weather resistant so it would do an excellent job in the snow and ice you will be traveling in. For added security from the weather you can also put your cargo in a plastic bag before installing in the cargo bag. But realistically your cargo wouldn't...

  • How to Determine if Carpod Cargo Carrier Will Block Brake Lights
    It won't block them fully, but will partially. You can pretty easily do some measuring to find out though specifically how much though, as the overall length from outside to outside is 48-3/4" long for the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier w/ Lid # M2205-2201. So you can just measure from the middle of your hitch over 24-3/8" to either side, and that's how much the # M2205-2201. Your 2023 Subaru Crosstrek is a total of 71" wide (without the mirrors) so lights will still be visible, but likely...

  • Is There A Way To Lock The Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier w/ Lid # M2205-2201
    There isn't a latch in the middle for you to lock like you'd typically see with a cargo box, but you could use some padlocks to prevent someone from opening the lid of the 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier w/ Lid # M2205-2201. That being said, there are a lot of gaps so I wouldn't really suggest placing anything of real value in the cage, unless it was in a locked box or bag. The sides of the cage are all hinged to the base and wouldn't be removable without breaking them off.

  • Can I Open my Hatch Area on my 2015 Toyota 4Runner When the Carpod M2205 is in the Folded Position
    When the Carpod hitch cargo carrier # M2205 is in the folded position, the measurement from the top of the receiver hitch to the top of the Carpod is 3-1/4 inches tall. It's 5-1/4 inches tall overall measuring from the bottom of the receiver hitch to the top of the Carpod. You will have some rattle noise but I don't think it's going to be extremely loud at all. Going over bumps, potholes etc. will cause some rattle but it's certainly very secure. There is an option to get the Carpod...

  • Recommended Carrier Option for a Hiboy MAX Pro E-Scooter
    We don't have any bike racks that'll work with your Hiboy MAX Pro scooter, unfortunately but since it can be folded it can be used with a cargo carrier just as easily. I recommend checking out the 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier w/ Lid # M2205-2201 if you're interested. This carrier will work with any 2" hitch, assuming you already have one, has a maximum storage capacity of 13 cubic feet and a max weight capacity of 450 lbs. According to Hiboy, the folded specs of your MAX Pro scooter...

  • Does Carpod Hitch Carrier Rattle in Hitch
    There would be some movement of the 23x47 Carpod part # M2205-2201 when it's installed in your hitch but in general it's not a lot of movement and any noise would be miniscule. Some of the movement would be based on the clearances of your current hitch as a looser hitch would allow more movement. Aside from that hitch accessories like this that have ability to fold up do allow for more movement due to the pivoting mechanism. Now with that said if you used an anti-rattle hitch lock like...

  • Can The Carpod Cargo Carrier Fit On A 2021 Tesla Model Y
    The 24x48-3/4 Carpod Walled, Folding Cargo Carrier # M2205-2201 requires just a 2" trailer hitch receiver opening in order to mount it. This carrier weighs 74lbs and has a 450lb carrying capacity. If your 2021 Tesla Model Y doesn't already have a 2" trailer hitch then I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT58MR.

  • What to do With Lid When Folding Up the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier
    The lid of the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier w/ Lid # M2205-2201 will actually need to be completely removed when you are completely folding it up. You will want to put the lid elsewhere, like inside your vehicle, if you do not need to use the carrier but still have it in the hitch. To mount it to your hitch you can use Pin and Clip # PC3 though I recommend using the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880 to lock the Carpod to your and protect your investments.

  • Will Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier with Lid Bounce Around and Hit Tow Vehicle When Folded Up
    Great question, Chuck! The 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier w/ Lid # M2205-2201 comes with a cinch strap to keep the walls and the lid secured to the carrier when it's in the stowed and folded up position. If you jump to the 1 minute mark in the linked video you'll see how our team member secures all of this with the strap. If you're talking about the 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier w/ Lid # M2200-2201, this system is a fixed carrier so it can't be folded up against the tow vehicle....

  • Will 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier with Lid # M2205-2201 Fit on 2012 Honda Pilot EX
    Yes, the 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier with Lid, # M2205-2201, will fit on your 2012 Honda Pilot EX. This carrier is designed for use in a 2 inch hitch receiver and since there is less than 7 inches from the hitch pin hole on a 2012 Pilot to the outer edge of the bumper, there is plenty of clearance to use the folding option and this carrier will work great for you.

    The Reese Cargo Carrier part # 6502 has a 500 lb weight capacity but doesn't quite have the dimensions needed to fit both of the etrailer.com generators part # 333-0003-2-0007 so for a better option I'd recommend the 23 inch by 47 inch Carpod Cargo Carrier part # M2205-2201 as it has the dimensions and weight capacity needed, but what I really like about this carrier is that it's enclosed which makes it easier to secure the generators in and also makes it easier to protect them from theft....

    To be able to use the 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier w/ Lid # M2205-2201 with your 2008 Lincoln MKZ, you'll first need a trailer hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11329. This trailer hitch is a class I trailer hitch with a maximum towing capacity of 2,000lbs, and has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 200lbs.

    SUPs are usually pretty long. The Carpod part # M2205-2201 isn't going to be long enough to fit the length of a SUP like what you have. You are going to have to look into a roof rack mounted SUP carrier like the SUP Taxi part # TH810001 which is a fit for the factory crossbars of your 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser.
