Speaker 1: Today we'll be taking a look at the 66 by 24" Lets Go Aero BossHog Slide-Out Cargo Carrier, part number H01472. The BossHog cargo carrier's a slide-out cargo carrier that allows you to carry your gear behind your vehicle or RV. This cargo carrier's going to allow you to free up space inside your vehicle for more passengers. It's also going to keep dirty or muddy gear from the interior of your vehicle.Simply remove the clip and the pin, then we can pull out on our carrier so we can gain more access into our rear hatch. The carrier is equipped with stop and turn lights for increased nighttime visibility, and are connected to our vehicle using a four-pole plug. If you need to remove your carrier quickly, we have the quick, easy disconnects for our lights.
The BossHog comes equipped with this safety chain loop to prevent us from pulling our cargo carrier out too far. This cargo carrier works with 2" by 2" trailer hitch receivers, and has an anti-rattle bolt and clip to help take a lot of shake and play out of the vehicle as you're driving down the road. You'll notice our second hole here. We can actually move our anti-rattle device back one hole for different vehicles. In this case, we did have to move our anti-rattle device up one hole to make it accessible for our 4runner today.The BossHog has a solid steel floor, which is going to help to prevent dirt, debris, and grime from getting up underneath our carrier and into our gear.
It's also going to make this carrier easier to clean. The carrier is also equipped with side walls, making this a basket-style carrier, and it provides multiple different tie down points to secure our gear.This cargo carrier has a sturdy steel construction with a corrosion resistant black powder coat finish, and a total weight capacity of 300 pounds. The outside dimensions are 68" wide by 26" long, and the inside dimensions are 66" wide by 24" long. The carrier has a depth of 7".Now, the last great feature of our carrier is that it can be removed from our vehicle and used on a RV or trailer. We just want to make sure that we disconnect everything.
Now, it may be a good idea to get an extra set of hands to help you move your cargo carrier from wherever you have it stored, whether that's your vehicle or a storage area, to your trailer.Now, for this situation, we don't have our four-pole plug on our RV, so we're just going to use the quick disconnects and remove our wiring for our lights. If you do have a four-pole plug, you would insert your wiring now and hook up your lights. The Lets Go Aero BossHog also has the option to use the hoodie, which is a cargo cover and cargo net with part number H01489. You can also add on a hideout, which has the hoodie, the cargo net, and the bike tree, with part number H01564.Now, comparing our BossHog to the Curt 24 by 60 cargo carrier, we're going to see that our BossHog carrier is going to be just a little bit wider, but the Curt is going to have a higher weight capacity. Another great thing about the BossHog as well as the Curt cargo carrier is that the BossHog will slide out to allow us access into our hatch, and that Curt cargo carrier is going to fold up against our vehicle, making it easier to park in close quarters situations.
Now, unlike our BossHog, our Curt is going to have a 2" shank rise, which will give us more ground clearance underneath, but it is not going to come with a pin or clip, or any kind of anti-rattle device like the BossHog.Now that we've gone over some features, we'll show you how to get this installed. It is a good idea to get an extra set of hands to help you install it. Now that we have our hitch pin holes lined up, we'll insert our anti-rattle bolt, insert and tighten that up. Now we can take a 7/8" socket and ratchet and tighten this down. Now we'll take our clip and place it on the other end. Next we'll take our four-pole plug and secure that in. Now let's take this out on our test course and see how it looks.Here on our test course, we'll start by going through the slalom. This is going to show us the side-to-side action, which simulates turning corners or evasive maneuvers. Once we get to the alternating speed bumps, we'll see the twisting action. This will simulate hitting a curb or pothole, or driving over uneven pavement. Once we get to the full speed bumps, we'll see the up-and-down action. This will be just like driving in and out of a parking lot, garage, or driveway. And that's going to be our completed look at the 66 by 24" Lets Go Aero BossHog Slide-Out Cargo Carrier, part number H01472.

68" x 26" Steel, slide-out cargo carrier lets you carry gear behind your vehicle. Side walls with tie-down points help keep cargo in place. Includes anti-rattle hitch pin and LED tail lights with 4-way flat connector for night visibility.Purchased for 2018 Coachmen CrossFit on Ford Transit 350HD. Product was shipped fast and in good condition for such a big and heavy box. Missing about 12 of the button head hex bolt assemblies so had to scrounge for hardware. There was absolutely NO extra hardware so don’t lose anything. Turn signal and license plate brackets are a joke and an afterthought. Had to reconfigure these to make work. Slide fork was manufactured crooked and once the box is slid on it was crooked on the van so had to tweak the fork to get the unit to sit level. A lot of hardware and assembly needed to construct this unit. Hardware is cheap quality and hex heads round off very easily under minor tightening. Instructions were lacking in a key area of how the box mounts to the slide arms and how to connect the limiting cable so the box doesn’t slide all the way off the slide fork. I also bought the hoodie cover but had to install rubber tubing on the Box corners so they would not rip through the cover once installed. The cargo net and other straps are nice and seems to work as intended. But once all figured out and installed everything appears to work correctly but it took a good bit of work on my part to make it correct. If you are looking for something to work right out of the box this is not it. But this is a huge box cargo carrier that will swallow a lot of stuff. I will find out today how it works in the real world on my trip. 628692
Once assembled this is a fantastic cargo carrier that added an enormous amount of cargo capacity for our annual trips. The slide-out mechanism works really well, even when loaded up, and allows use of the inside cargo compartment. The size is much larger than alternatives, which was a selling point for us, and is what made it possible for our family to fit into a single car. The solid floor kept snow/sleet/debris off our gear and the BossHog accessory cover we purchased kept everything perfectly clean and dry inside (note - I did tape the inside corners/seams with gorilla tape for extra weather proofing). The license plate mount is something that I think needs improvement for 2 reasons: 1. There's no light to illuminate the license plate. I solved this buy purchasing an LED strip made to attach to a license plate, attached by running the plate screws through the LED strip mount. 2. The plate is exposed to road debris – we stopped to fill up on our way back home and I noticed that the plate was dangling by just 1 of the metal arms because something on the road had kicked up and torn the other arm clear off - which also shattered the taillight that the plate attaches to. I am going to made a plate carrier that holds the plate _above_ the taillight out of harms way for our next trip. However, LetsGoAero's phenomenal customer service sent me a new light to replace the broken one. Assembly was not as smooth as shown in the videos, and it's definitely important to follow the written instructions instead of the video - there was a step they did in a different order (in the video that we followed) that made it much more difficult to assemble. Also the floor plans had a twist to them which made lining everything up more difficult as well - we also used a mallet and some wood boards to straighten up the seams where there was a bend from shipping damage (even though the shipping boxes had zero damage :-/ ). All in all, I would recommend this to anyone who needs more space or more protection from the elements than the standard 24x60" mess floor carriers. 607935
I chose this carrier for its companion bike rack that includes a cover and cargo net. I wanted these to protect our expensive ebikes when we travel down south. Let me start by saying assembly of the carrier is cumbersome with a multitude of hardware. For the price of the carrier I feel captive PEM hardware should have been used to enhance assembly. The first gotcha was my bike does not fit into the carrier tray. Perhaps that is my fault for not measuring my bike before ordering but my wifes bike just barely fits within the tray. I could take off the front wheel but the bike rack is designed to fasten to the bike wheels so that is not an option. I was able to eventually get my bike mounted with the rear tire sitting upon the side wall. Not ideal but it works. The bike rack mounting brackets are cumbersome and it is difficult to secure the bikes in place. Daily use of this bike rack would be very difficult. Having used a Yakima rack in the past enforces the fact that this rack is not user friendly. Fortunately we will only need to use twice a year. The cover and cargo net seem to be of good quality but we have yet to travel down the road so it remains to see how those will hold up. The cover does not fit well as the one bike does not fully fit into the tray. The tray itself seems to be of good quality but beware it is very heavy and attaching onto the vehicle can be a challenge. All in all if I had to do it over I probably would not purchase the carrier nor the bike rack. 454204
