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.

Dang Piero, that's no good. I am going to get this taken care of for you.

Looks good -simple instructions-
Definitely pleased -thanks again

I received the package in a pretty rough exterior condition but everything was fine inside.

The previous comments about having to cut away the expanded metal flooring in order to install the carriage bolts wasn't true in my case. Apparently, this quality control issue has been addressed by the manufacturer.

Assembly went well and wasn't complicated. A different carriage bolt with a longer square shoulder should be used. The shoulder doesn't grip too well to the square cutout in the frame and even while pressing firmly on the head of the bolt, it wanted to turn as I was tightening the nut.

All in all, it seems to be a solid product and I look forward to using it.

I wish the load capacity was a bit higher, but overall I am satisfied with the cargo carrier. It is perfect for lugging my two dog crates behind my vehicle instead of inside the vehicle. Thank you for offering a dimensionally larger cargo carrier than most retailers.



by:

I only gave an average rating because the carrier was not easy to assemble without slight modification. The bolt holes for assembly were blocked by the steel mesh. I cut the mesh that covered several of the holes with a rotary disc cutter.

I will share this information with the manufacturer as this is an unusual case.



by:

Love it! I use it on my 2016 Nissan Frontier. Allows me to fit one more washer or dryer for my laundry business!



by:

Does what I expected.2010 FJ Cruiser. Assemble was very easy. The problem with past posts of getting the bolts to pass thru the wire mesh has been fixed as well as the reflective tape. Great job on delivery. I will use this cargo carrier for travel and when out surf fishing. The wagon I have will just fit on this carrier and make getting to the beach and back a cleaner experience.



by:

Great product. Always get the best from e-trailer. Prompt and quick. You are the best.



by:

The carrier works great. I wanted it to transport a foldable 3 wheeled bike. It fits on the carrier just right. Putting together was not difficult for me. Have not had a chance to actually go anywhere with it, but I can tell it will be just fine.



by:

Product is exactly as expected, very good quality, easy to assemble and serves the purpose I bought it for.
I simply used a device to prevent rattling and it works great.
I can also still open the trunk on a Atlas with some cargo on it which makes things very convenient.
I would recommend w/o any hesitation.



by:

After some searching this was the answer to our need. I did some modifications to accommodate our 2 folding tadpole trikes and the total weight of the trikes and rack is still more than 50 lb's below the listed capacity. We have driven in 4 states with no problem.



by:

Etrailer had the best price, free shipping, and it arrived faster than they estimated!

Have had for a year. I haul a 30” Toro mower with trimmer, blower and gas on this beast on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler. Awesome.

Product was delivered quickly and had detailed instructions on assembly. Thanks.

I haven't opened yet. The second pkg actually arrived.

I love it. It will do exactly what I need it to do.



by:

I’ve owned this cargo carrier for about a year now and I’m very happy with the purchase. It’s very sturdy and I appreciate that the frame has numerous points to hook up ratchet straps. I typically use it to transport plastic bins for camping and it was a huge help when moving. It’s also made it easy to rent outdoor power equipment from Home Depot.



by:

Great carrier, gave my family more space inside the car on vacation's . We also use back and forth to the beach to hold wagon umbrella cooler, and chairs . Keeps sandy items out of the car . It has plenty of tie down locations for ratchet straps or bungee cords. Was very easy to put together.

After a year of use this item is still great. We play travel ball and this is great for coolers canopy chairs and wagon. We still use for vacations and trips to the beach.

Works great! We use this as an add on for our work truck so we can carry large equipment because our bed holds all of our permanent equipment.



by:

Great sturdy product. Well made with a lot of space. This will last quite a while.



by:

Well built, easy to assemble and convenient holes for tie downs.



by:

The 2" SHANK is too large. Unfortunately I used a hammer to install the SHANK onto a standard 2" receiver. I was very disappointed in this item. Don't buy it. It might have fit, if they didn't paint it or had the fabricated bends in the SHANK that goes into the 2" receiver. Time for QC. Hope I can get it off my vehicle. Don't take it out on Etrailer...they try to do the right thing regarding customer service.

As far as we know, it was an isolated event. This review was from July of 2012 and we have seen a number of reviews since then without mention of this issue. In all likelidhood, this is a case of tolerance stack. The hitch opening is on the smallest end of the acceptable tolerances and the shank is on the largest end. Or if the paint is on the thick side, it could be enough to cause difficulty.

  • Tail Light Kit For 32x48 Reese Cargo Carrier # PS1040100
    We do not have a tail light kit for the 32x48 Reese Solo Cargo Carrier # PS1040100. A better solution may be the Pro Series 24x60 Railed Cargo Carrier # 63153. Then you will need to purchase the Light Kit # 20174. The lights recess into the carrier and are well protected by the carriers railing. If you have any further questions please feel free to reach back out to me anytime and I would be more than happy to further assist you in your towing endeavors.

  • Can Reese Solo Cargo Carrier # PS1040100 Be Used at Rear of 5th Wheel Trailer
    Hey Richard, so the Reese cargo carrier part # PS1040100 would be a great option at the rear of a fifth wheel trailer. Unlike bike racks cargo carriers don't have the explicit "can or cannot be used at rear of trailer" rating but what we have found when we have called them is that they strongly recommend using the ones that are not folding like this Reese carrier so it would work well for you.

    The lightest weight hitch mounted carrier we have available is the 32x48 Reese Solo Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 400 lbs # PS1040100. This carrier weighs approximately 70-lbs and will fit in your 2" hitch receiver and is 47-3/4" long x 31-3/4" wide x 2-3/4" deep long when measured inside the rails with the ramp folded up.

This cargo carrier is approved to withstand the added force/torque on the back of your fifth wheel camper. We've had many neighbors who have given this carrier rave review when used on a trailer.

The Curt comes with 50-1/4" long x 30-7/8" wide x 3-3/4" tall internal dimensions. The ramp is fully collapsible so that you can fold the carrier up against the rear for storage. As far as weight capacity, the carrier has a max capacity of 500 pounds. It is important to note that the length of the shank measures 7-1/4 inches from the center...

This has a 47-3/4" long by 31-3/4" wide inner tray and can support up to 400lbs so you could carry additional items with your 90lb generator if needed. Do be sure to verify with Coachmen you do not exceed any capacities on your hitch or trailer with the additional items. We do have the Cover # CH97FR which will protect your generator when...

It is 60" long x 23" wide and has pre-drilled holes along its raised edges for tie-downs.

This hitch has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity, 2" receiver tube opening, and fits trailers with frame rails spaced 22" to 72" apart. The hitch can either be bolted or welded in place.

Pro Series carrier # PS1040100 has useable platform dimensions of 47-3/4" long x 31-3/4" wide so it would have more than enough space for your generator.

  • Best Cargo Carrier for Generator on an RV
    I would love to help but finding a cargo carrier with everything you need is going to be an extremely difficult task. The main issue is going to be size/weight. Most cargo carriers that can accommodate the 27.6" depth of your generator are not going to be under 50 lbs. Also, only cargo carriers with a fixed shank can be used on the back of an RV due to the added stress. Therefore, the only cargo carrier we offer that will allow you to carry the Honda EU7000iS Inverter Generator on the...

With that being said, a great solution for transporting your refrigerator is the Detail K2 Mighty Multi Utility Trailer - 6' Long - 1,295 lbs # K2MMT4X6.

    Yes, the 32x48 Reese Solo Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # PS1040100 can be used with your 2017 Keystone Cougar Travel Trailer. You are going to need a trailer hitch to use this cargo carrier so you'd need to add one with # C13702 if you don't already have one or you can just use the 24x40 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper # e99050 instead which will bolt up to your bumper.

  • Light Kit Recommendation for Reese PS1040100 Solo Cargo Carrier
    I'd recommend using the etrailer License Plate and LED Tail Light Mounting Kit for Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Item # e98943-44LED which you'd mount to the face of the rear edge of the # PS1040100 carrier. The driver's side lamp even features a license plate bracket that's illuminated which would allow you to easily relocate the plate in case what you have loaded on the carrier blocks the vehicle's license plate. I've linked to a video showing a typical installation.

  • Purpose of Curt Hitch Stabilizer Strap and Cargo Carrier Wide Enough for 28 in Wide Generator
    Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. The strap braces the hitch so that when you hit a bump it's not quite as stressful on the hitch. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well. We have the Reese Solo Cargo Carrier part # PS1040100 which is 32 inches wide and 48 inches long. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Can the Shank of Pro Series Cargo Carrier PS1040100 be Flipped to Lower the Platform
    I checked with the manufacturer and they told me that the hitch shank on the Pro Series Solo Cargo Carrier # PS1040100, can be flipped either way to help with clearance when opening the cargo area door on your vehicle. So what you can do is flip the shank in the orientation that lowers the platform of the carrier a few inches as opposed to in the up position which would raise it.
