Easily transport gear with this hitch cargo carrier. Raised rails keep cargo in place and provide tie-down points, and rise shank offers extra ground clearance. Optional light kit sold separately. Some assembly required.Very happy with the product and the top-notch service and support from etrailer. The cargo carrier is well-built, looks good, and was easy to assemble. We've traveled over 5,000 miles with it over the past two months. The upward-curved attachment rod is a plus for our low-riding Mazda 3 hatchback; we've only scraped a few times so far and the carrier was unscathed. Good results. Pro tips: get a ratchet strap and secure one side of the carrier to the rear tow hook on your car - this adds great stability (no wobbling); also consider some reflective tape.
I'm very happy with the cargo carrier. Assembly was simple (get ahold of 2 ratchet wrenches if you can) and the unit is sturdy and appears well made. I had an old carrier that didn't have the raised arm and it was constantly scraping the ground when going up and down curb cuts like driveways and such. This design is much better. Also, this carrier has tons of tie-down locations which is very important. And etrailer is a great company to deal with -- fair pricing and great service. I purchased several items from them over the years and have always been very satisfied .
Would have been much if the cargo carrier was made in the USA; however it works great and fit great
Easy to assemble plus the angled shank gave me just enough clearance on my 2017 Bolt when backing out of driveway.
Great cargo rack. We have a 1 1/4" receiver hitch on our sedan, and this fits nicely and securely and has been a good road trip companion. Easy to assemble, and great access points for routing straps. Very pleased.
I would have given this item 5 stars except for the box it was in. The two halves of the box weren't taped or stapled together. It's a wonder everything was still in box. Box has handholds that weren't used and box had a large hole in it (see photo). Hand holds are not obvious, they are the push in type and weren't pushed it to move box. Product easy to put together and will serve its purpose for me. Etrailer also price matched this item after I found it from another supplier for quite a bit less money. They stand by their word, which will keep me as a customer. Thanks.
Here are a couple pix of the cargo carrier I ordered & installed on my 1988 Corvette. Feel free to use them in your advertisements.
I haven't used it yet but the assembly was very easy. Videos on the website were excellent. Only issue was it was shipped separate from the rest of my order. A quick email to customer service and everything was great.

Bought this cargo carrier a year ago for our 2017 Buick Encore. We were moving from Tennessee to North Dakota and I needed just a little more hauling space. What I love about this hitch mounted carrier is the angled post that sticks into the hitch. The hitch on a 2017 Encore is already pretty low to the ground, so having this increase in height is very welcome. I stowed up to 6 large Rubbermaid totes on this carrier with no problem. Just took a trip last month with only 3 and this still allowed me to open the back hatch without taking the totes off. Great product, easy to assemble and turns a small SUV into a very capable vehicle.
I love my cargo carrier! Still working great - even a year after purchase! I have recommended your company to a few people who have asked about my product. Thank you!
Kelly - 06/06/2019Excellent product. I highly recommend this little cargo carrier if you own a small vehicle and need some extra cargo room. Easy to assemble, well built, and easy to handle and install!
Carroll - 03/09/2019Like many of you I read all the reviews about this Cargo Carrier (63155) Light kit (20174), and net (7330) some were negative some were positive. Here is what I found with my order. When I first opened the box I found everything I ordered was in the box, however prior to receiving this package I had an email sent from one off the employees letting me know the order was packed everything was in stock and was shipped with the tracking information. (I was impressed with this and was impressed even more when a different employee sent me an email to let me know that the package was delivered so I knew to look for it when I got Home.) Ok so the Cargo carrier a real nice thick coat of black glossy paint. Looks great. There was a small amount of assembly which didn't require reading the enclosed direction because it was very obvious what went where. Very nice carrier. The light kit was packed in a bag if you read the reviews some were complaining about not enough wire and wire ties (tie straps) I found there was plenty of each but you will need to plan out the routing before you use your tie straps. The light kit is very easy to install took 4-5 minutes. The light kit is in my opinion an important add on because of the vehicle lights being partially or even fully blocked when the cargo carrier is loaded it offers brake, turn signal, and running lights the same as your vehicle would do. I highly recommend it. lastly the cargo net it really cool the hooks are easier to put on then the video online shows them to be. Overall if you need a carrier that is a class II 20 X 48 1 1/4" this is an excellent buy both price and quality.
I bought this carrier a year ago and it continues to perform well. I use it on an 07 Toyota Solara. I had previous carriers that were too low to the ground when loaded and it bottomed out. This one also has a rise to it and it never bottoms out. I actually called and spoke to customer service and they recommended getting this one and actually helped even more by explaining since it was the correct size for my receiver and I didnt have to use an adapter anymore, that i could use its full weight load. This was the solution. Also keep in mind the positioning of your exhaust, if you add a bag and go on a long trip, it could melt, but that is not due to the design of this product. Its an opportunity for all. I would recommend this item.
Bought this carrier for a 2018 CR-V with a 1 1/4 Honda hitch. So far so good. Easy to assemble. Seems study. Hasn't bottomed out on moderately steep driveways. Minimal side-to-side wiggle. Full sized cooler blocks the license plate but not brake lights. Low profile loads are fine. Doesn't interfere with rear hatch. Should have bought the locking pin right off the bat. Good price, excellent service online and via phone, rapid delivery. Hopefully it'll hold up.
The product came on time, in perfect condition. I bought this for my son who is planning a camping trip soon after Christmas. He forgot to check the hitch size and thought he could just go to Pep Boys but they only had 2 in. hitch baskets. I was very impressed with how easy your website was to use. I found the correct cargo basket for my son's car in no time. I had a confirmation email in minutes and a shipping confirmation with tracking the next day. When I get my hitch for my Honda CR-V, I'll use etrailer.
We love our hitch cargo carrier so much! We have a very small car and this is a perfect way to carry more than we would be able to otherwise! It’s perfect for camping, craft shows, overnight trips, etc. we couldn’t be happier!
Hitch Cargo Carrier allows me to carrier allows me to carry several fuel containers outside my vehicle avoiding probable spills and fumes. The carrier rides high which keeps it from bottoming out when I travel over dips and small ditches. It has a slight wobble even with the special hitch pin I purchased. However this has presented no actual problems. This carrier is heavy and I consider it a good investment.
Over the years I have purchased many items from etrailer.com and I have been very satisfied with the transactions, the usually short shipping times, the products, and the feedback. This purchase was no exception. This is the second cargo carrier I have purchased from etrailer and the same brand, although a different model. The first one had no built-in design for taillights so I mounted traditional incandescent lights. I gave that one to my daughter for her use. I purchased the LED light kit the new carrier was designed for and installed them without tools. I am impressed by the brightness of these LED lights and the fact they do not protrude beyond the frame. I had only one minor negative incident while assembling this carrier. While torquing one of the smaller bolts at 25 ft lbs the threads stripped. The nut was an internal lock nut and it did not want to come off. I had to drill the bolt head until it fell off and replaced it with a new bolt and lock nut.
I received this carrier promptly after ordering by phone. The representative was cordial and knowledgable of product. My order arrived on schedule and in good condition. Assembly required about 15 minutes and was not complicated. I have not used the carrier, but did mount it on my Jeep Patriot. The construction was solid with good welds and paint. I stood in the basket and shifted my weight ( 180 lbs ) ; there was minimal flex and all connections remained solid. If purchasing this unit, it should be noted that the corners are rounded and the inside dimensions will not accomodate a rigid box of the same dimensions, and instalation of light package will also reduce inside dimentions. I am very pleased with this carrier and recomend it highly.
Our order came today and it was simple to put together. We had also ordered the light kit and was able to put them on the cargo rack with no problems. Only problem that we had was when we went to put it on my wifes Suburu Forester and couldn't put the pin in as the rack didn't go in far enough. When we had the receiver hitch installed on her car, they put one on that had a stop inside the hitch so you have to watch what racks and such you try to put on it. We just made a small knotch in the cargo carrier tube, but I didn't really like doing that, so we ordered a new correct hitch from e-trailer and will hopefully be installing that this weekend.
I read a the reviews before purchasing this cargo carrier and noticed a lot of comments about the wiring. It does not fit in my trunk but the adapter that comes from my car was long enough that I could secure both wire leads to the cargo carrier out of harms way. As far as the carrier it was excellent and fit snuggly into the receiver hitch.
We got our order fast and complete. I have assembled but not yet applied to my vehicle. I expect no issues .I have been using my hitch for some time for a trailer .With the anti rattle pin I should be very pleased with this resolve. Bought this carry some of our needs for a long trip instead of hauling a trailer all that distance. There are many carriers but none have created a water proof bag tall enough to protect a wheel chair. I guess it is a bag it yourself requirement.
Ordered product online Wednesday afternoon and it was delivered to my home by Friday afternoon! Easy assembly done by my husband in less than 1 hour. He did have to rent a tourqe (sp?) wrench from our local hardware store, but that was the biggest problem we had. We plan on using the carrier next weekend for camping. Our pop-up camper didn't survive the winter, it leaked and is not useable this season:( We still enjoy camping with our family, but needed extra storage space for all the camping equiptment that our mini-van doesn't provide. I'm looking forward to filling the carrier and having some fun! I also called the 800 number for advice prior to ordering. The person I spoke to was informative and extremely helpful to me!
WELL WORTH THE EXTRA FEW $$$ I bought a Hidden Hitch for my Subaru Outback so I wouldn't be bashing folks shins. Problem is, with a regular basket, you have to crawl under to get the pin in. With this raised basket it is MUCH EASIER. It is also nice that it is custom cut for tail lights when I want to go that route. If you have a Class2 hitch - THIS IS THE BASKET TO BUY.
