• How To Use Front Cargo Rack With Aftermarket Front Bumper On 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
  For a front hitch receiver for your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, I recommend the Draw-Tite # 65079. I confirmed that this will in fact work on your vehicle. This front hitch receiver has the higher weight capacity compared to the Curt front hitch receiver that is also a fit for your vehicle. The Curt # C31086 has a gross trailer weight rating of 3,500lbs and tongue weight of 350lbs, whereas the Draw-tite # 65079 has a gross trailer weight of 5,000lbs and tongue weight of 500lbs.

• Recommended Cargo Carrier to Haul Yard Waste on 2011 Toyota Sienna
  The Carpod # M2205 would be a good choice for you, primarily due to the fact that it offers a 5-1/2 inch rise which is perfect for a vehicle with low ground clearance like your 2011 Toyota Sienna. The carrier would work well for yard waste hauling. If I were to use it for this purpose, I'd use a couple of large storage totes to contain the small debris, as the sidewalls wouldn't contain smaller sticks. The hitch pin like # PC3 or locking hitch pin like # e98882 are sold separately.

• What Is The Cargo Bag for Carpod Hitch Mounted Cargo Designed For
  I took a look at your account and it looks like you purchased the Cargo Bag for Carpod Hitch Mounted Cargo part # M2202 with the 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel part # M2205. The cargo bag is designed to go inside of the car pod to protect your cargo from the elements not around the car pod. I have attached a photo of what I mean. There is not a cover for the outside of the Carpod at this time.

• Cargo Carrier Solution for 2020 Kia Telluride that Sits High Enough to Clear Exhaust
  When the Curt hitch part # C13420 is installed on a vehicle like your 2020 Kia Telluride the height of the hitch opening is right about the same height as the exhaust. So your best option would be a cargo carrier with a rise built into the shank. The carrier with the most rise is the enclosed/walled carrier with 5-1/2 inches of rise with the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier part # M2205 which has 5-1/2 inches of rise built into it. If you are looking for a flat carrier there are two options....

• Difference Between Carpod M2200 And M2205 Hitch Mounted Cargo Carriers
  We do carry the 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier, part # M2205, and it has some great features. This cargo carrier has walls that fold flat and the entire carrier will fold up when not being used. The outside dimensions are 48-3/4 inches long x 24 inches wide x 22 inches tall, and it fits in a 2 inch receiver opening. This carrier weighs 54 lbs and it also features a shank with a 5 inch rise to provide a bit more ground clearance. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the...

• 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...

• Solution for Stepping Up Into Truck Camper with Cargo Carrier Attached
  While the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier # M2205 does feature a robust 450 pound weight capacity, I can't recommend standing in or using it as a step. It may be able to hold the weight of a person but it's still going to be relatively unstable and may lead to injury. What you could use tough is a hitch step like the Buyers Products # 3371804017 that will slide into your existing 2 inch trailer hitch receiver and provide another 2 inch receiver on the other end for the Cargo Carrier. In between...

• Hitch Cargo Carrier Solution with More Rise in Shank
  When used as a hitch extender or in your case a high/low adapter the Curt # D210 does cut the capacity of the hitch it is installed in by 50 percent so that wouldn't be the way to go. Only possible solution would be a different cargo carrier that has more rise to it's shank. If you are looking for a traditional kind of cargo carrier then I recommend going with the Reese Cargo Carrier # 63153 which has a shank rise of 2-1/2 inches. The cargo carrier that currently has the highest rise...

• Can Swing-Away Adapter Be Used with Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier # M2205
  Yes, the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier # M2205 can be used with a swing-away arm, for which the Yakima BackSwing # Y02483 will work perfectly. This arm is a bit lighter (just 35 pounds) than the Kuat option we have available which allows for easily install/removal. An important thing to keep in mind though when using this or any other swing-away arm is that it's going to reduce the capacity of your trailer hitch by 50 percent. This just means that if your trailer hitch has a 350 pound tongue...

• Recommended High-Low Adapter for a 2019 Toyota Sienna Using the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier
  The 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # M2205 already has a built in rise of 5-1/2" so if you're needing more rise you'll need to use a high-low adapter. Depending on how much more rise you're needing will depend on which adapter you'll need, but if it's just a little bit more height you need, you can use the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches # RM-048-2 which is going to give you 2 more inches of rise. Also to note whenever you use an adapter you're...

• 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. Additionally, if you decide...

• High Rise Cargo Carrier Solution for Ground Clearance
  We don't have any great hitch adapter solutions that you could use to add additional rise to the hitch setup you are using to carry your hitch mounted cargo carrier. Doing so adds quite a bit of movement to the hitch setup and cuts the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. So your best option is to go with a cargo carrier that has a higher rise built into the shank. The enclosed cargo carrier that currently has the highest rise in the shank is the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier # M2205 which...

• Rooftop Cargo Carrier Options for 2013 Kia Soul
  We can offer several different options for cargo transport on your daughter's 2013 Kia Soul. The best option will depend on how the vehicle is equipped. For instance does it have a hitch or a roof rack already installed? The cargo carrier you referenced, part # M2205 from CarPod, is a hitch-mount type carrier that will fit only a 2-inch hitch. The Soul cannot be equipped with a 2-inch hitch, only with a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch such as one of those shown on the link at right....

• Will a Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier Fit a Range Rover Evoque
  The Carpod Hitch Cargo Carrier # M2200 is designed to fit in 2 inch trailer hitch receiver openings. And for clearance the carrier measures 4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the carrier. On your Range Rover Evoque, the distance from the pin hole back to clear the rear of the vehicle would have to be less than 4 inches for the carrier to fit. On the folding Carpod model, # M2205, the distance from the pin hole to the nearest part of the carrier is 13...

• Shank with a Rise for Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier
  We don't carry the shank with a rise included with Carpod # M2205 but it's very likely it will work with # M2200. We do carry an adapter for folding baskets, # 52015, that might work. We've never tested it on the Carpod carriers but I've attached a picture that you can use to determine if it'll work for you.

• Cargo Net Options for Carpod M2205 Walled Cargo Carrier
  I'd recommend the SportRack cargo net, part # SR0035. At 60 x 20 inches, it's a little longer than you'd actually need, but you can run the net down both ends of the carrier to stretch it tight. This would be the best fitting alternative for the Carpod # M2205 you'd looked at. Another alternative would be a cargo bag like # M2202 which is specially designed to fit the Carpod carrier. I've linked to product videos for the carrier and the bag I mentioned above.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for a Keystone Passport
  The Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13703 is what I recommend for a Keystone Passport. It features a simple bolt-on install once the holes are drilled but you can use the brackets as a template. It has a 3,500 lb gross trailer weight capacity with 350 lb tongue weight rating. We do offer cage type carriers like the 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches part # M2205 as well if you're interested.

• Recommended Cargo Carrier for 10 Inch Ground Clearance from Bottom of Hitch Receiver on Winnebago
  For the limited ground clearance, I recommend 23x47 Carpod Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 450 lbs # M2205. This has a rise of 5-1/2 inches. This is a folding carrier that has 22" walls. You can add locking lid # M2201 or a custom cargo bag # M2202 if you wish. If these high walls will not work for you, I recommend the # e98874. This is a folding carrier that is the or the 24x60 with a 2" inch rise.

• Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier for a 2014 Chevy Cruze
  The Carpod cargo carrier # M2205 only fits in 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. All of the hitches for your 2014 Chevy Cruze are Class I hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers so it would not fit. I have included a link to the hitch mount cargo carriers that are compatible with a Class I trailer hitch. I recommend # C18110. You could then add a cargo bag # e98990 and secure it to the carrier. With this set up I do not anticipate any problems opening the trunk on your Cruze. For a trailer hitch...
