Received the Rola Cargo Carrier and couldn’t be happier with it. Very solid construction, has lots of tie down spots, and can add trailer lights if I want to. I’m good with the reflectors for now, but may add the lights later. Definitely recommend this if you need extra room for carrying items. Trailer is first class! Excellent customer service and very helpful people. Free shipping was a minor plus. I would buy again if I didn’t already have one :).

More solid than the others - tbd if i want to pick up an additional rattle device. Attached some photos if you have a palisade. This is using the stealth hitch.

etrailer was great to deal with. They kept me up to date on shipping and when the item was going to arrive. The carrier went together with very little effort, just needed a socket set and an adjustable wrench, I wrench. I specifically order this carrier for hunting, and it can handle anything I throw at it

This thing is rock solid. As others have stated, it is great solution for a Jeep Wrangler/ vehicle with a spare tire mounted on the tailgate bc it clears the tire where a lot of carriers do not. I took this on an extended camping trip this Summer and it stayed tight and cleared nearly every trail I was on. I found it helpful to use endless ratchet straps to secure everything and it worked quite well with the amount of holes etc on the carrier to run through. Very nice alternative to schlepping a trailer :)

This item arrived less than 12 hours from when I ordered it! Fantastic! The carrier itself is as good as I expected. It’s very sturdy, hi quality construction. And it looks great. One of the reasons that I chose this particular rack was that it would likely fit on my jeep and clear the spare tire. Unfortunately, it did not fit. 2 of the pics I posted show this issue. I have a substantial 37” tire and I was about 2 ½” short of getting the pin in, & that’s after removing the curved chrome bar on that side to allow more room. So, I ordered a hitch extension with a 4” drop and I added a hitch tightener from [auto parts store]. It works perfectly. The other pics show it installed with plenty of clearance. Overall, I’m super pleased with this with this cargo carrier.

Glad you were able to make this cargo carrier work for you! Just a reminder that using a hitch adapter or extended reduces your trailer hitch capacity by 50.

Sturdy,large cargo area,and lots of options for securing a load. This product was a bit banged up in the packaging upon arrival and i also had too clean up some welding slag on some mating surfaces. The anti rattle hitch pin thats included works great,but is a bit of a pain to remove in a pinch because it's treaded into the carrier. Overall great durability and did not block any access to the rear of my ford flex .

After reading reviews for products for a couple months, I settled on and purchased the Rola Cargo Carrier (Item 59502) along with the Tuffbak (Item 59119) and the LED Light Kit (Item 59516) for a recent trip to gulf coast of Florida with my family. Typically with my wife and myself, we don't need the extra room - but I took my parents with us, so needed extra cargo room. This setup worked great on the back of my Toyota 4Runner. The back hatch will not open with the cargo carrier loaded down, but the back window rolled down in the 4Runner making getting to stuff in the cargo area a breeze. As some others had mentioned, the packaging on the carrier (from Rola not etrailer) could be somewhat more sturdy as part of mine had some scratches that I covered with some paint. The carrier itself is incredibly sturdy and love the design. Another reason why I purchased this carrier was being able to add the LED lights which was a great feature. I did not use the hitch pin that came with the product, as I needed one that would lock. Using a locking hitch pin, I also added a hitch stabilizer and had no issues with it moving. I assume using the pin that comes with it would keep you from having to use the stabilizer but I preferred the pin would lock. The lights installed easily and plugged right into the car and worked flawlessly. The bag says its water resistant and not waterproof, however, we had pretty substantial rain on the way home and nothing in the bag got wet. I also added a master lock thru the zipper pulls on the bag and an additional ratcheting tie down. I have zero complaints and it worked great. I had to contact etrailer because one package was delivered but the other was not and I only had one tracking number. They were quick to send me an additional tracking number and even messaged to make sure it made it the next day. Great customer service, would definitely use them again.

I was getting tired of throwing gear on the roof rack struggling to get it down and worring about clearance issues or being top heavy (every Jeepers off-roading nightmare). So I started looking for for the impossible a rack with a low center of gravity, that wouldn't affect my ground clearance and most importantly fit with my 35" spare. I found many hitch basket/rack options but either to flimsy, to low to the ground or required dual hitch mounts. Then I found the Rola cargo carrier on etrailer and started having hope. I knew I would have to modify the rack in order to fit my Jeep but at least I could modify it compared to others. The rack is sturdy and doesn't make me lose any ground clearance. I removed the rear chrome crossmember and added some pipe insulation to prevent the metal tabs from rubbing on my spare (only required on mine because of the oversized spare). As the pictures show it fits like a glove and carried 200 lbs of gear like a mule. I have used in George Washington National Forest, up and down the Blue Ridge Trail and looking at taking on my TAT journey. I would recommend to anybody looking for a quality product for a decent price without having to completely modify their vehicle.

Excellent product. Strongly built; not flimsy at all. I like the vertical rise which increases ground clearance. And the larger grate offer many hook points for cargo so you are not limited to only the edges of the platform. I bought the LED lights. Offers excellent, enhanced visibility day and night. While the rubber inserts for the lens housing are not permanent, they hold the lights very well (if inserted correctly). Also, the wiring harness have sufficient lengths (did they improve it? I know there were complaints), biased with one long and one short. For me, perfect lengths for me to route and hook up to the trailer light socket. I would highly recommend it. I am so very pleased that I have finally bought it. I held out the decision to purchase for over a year! I shouldn't have waited.

Bought this rack for my 2013 Traverse. The outside of the carrier fit within the width of the vehicle, so there was no overhang. The light kit installed easily. Carrier does wobble around a bit when it is unloaded, but wasn't noticeable once it was loaded. I only used the standard pin to secure the carrier. Liked the open bars around the carrier. Made it easier to install and to secure the cargo. My only comment (not a complaint) is that the carrier would be designed to more readily install the light kit. A small notch in the back plate would allow you to run the wiring along the main support tube. There was a slight gap on mine, so I could still run the wiring there but I'm guessing that wasn't intentional.

As others have mentioned the shipping box was a bit beat up but arrived quickly with all parts and minimal scratches in the powder coating. Ordered on a Sunday afternoon and half the order arrived on Wed, the rest on Thursday. Setup was quick and I did purchase washers for the rear bolts to give a bit more coverage. I also ordered the Rola LED light kit and cargo net. Both fit perfectly. This thing is strong! Prior to loading I stood on the carrier while on the hitch and jumped up and down. Barley any flex and I am not a light guy by any means. There was very little play once in the receiver and I did not notice any rattles or excess noise on our week long 600 mile road trip. I did not use any type of anti rattle device. With the cargo on the back the passengers and dogs loved having the extra room to move around. As all of my vehicles have hitches so this will be a great addition any time we need extra room or carrying capacity. One thing to note if you are not ordering any pins or locks is that a 5/8 inch pin does not work, you need to have a 1/2 inch pin. Luckily I had both so I was able to use my existing hitch receiver lock. I included pictures of it installed on a 1994 GMC G2500 van. I was able to open both rear doors before loading although the door mounted full size spare did eat up a bit of room. The hitch on the van is bent from an accident by the previous owner so on my application the rack does tilt in towards the vehicle a bit. This is solely due to my hitch, not the rack itself. I did try it on my pickup and it sat nice and level. If you are looking for a cargo carrier I highly recommend the Rola.
Comments
Brian, any time a hitch or hitch accessory has been involved in an accident, it should be replaced to remedy any unseen damage. Heres a link to both the hitches for the 1994 GMC van. You would just need to filter by whether you have the step bumper:

The Rola carrier has a couple thousand miles on it now after several trips and is still holding up great. I do keep it in the garage when not in use so that helps keep it looking good.

I received my Rola Cargo Carrier within 5 days of ordering it. It was a bit scuffed when I opened the box but the finish was intact. The instructions were easy to follow and I had the whole thing assembled withing 20 minutes of opening the box. I added some reflective tape and just mounted to the back of my Explorer. Looking forward to loading this up with kids college stuff, coolers for camping and hopefully a deer or two this season.

After extensive research I placed the order for the Rola 59502 Cargo Carrier from Etrailer. Free shipping, no sales tax, a price match through Pricepledge that saved me another $37, & the carrier made it to Texas in just 2 days. I'm a 59 yr old widow & had the carrier assembled & installed on my '02 Jeep Wrangler the same afternoon that it arrived. Looks good & feels solid. Will be seeing how it performs in another 4 wks when I take my 60th bday trip to New Mexico. Thank you to Natalie & Judy @ etrailer for the prompt & efficient service provided.

Six months since original review. Over a year of ownership now. Has been on the hitch pretty much continuously for over 6 months, just coming off once to tow a trailer and occassionally clean the receiver and make sure rust wasn't combining the two permanently. Since my apartment complex doesn't let me keep my trailer handy this has all but taken its place. Always in use, always abused, never less than solid. Hitch-Vise anti-rattle bracket also HIGHLY recommended.

Very well made, sturdy, able to handle good load. I love this carrier. Only issue - I use it on a Jeep Wrangler. When installed, no ability to open rear swing door. I know this is for clearance, but it would be nice if you could reverse the hitch mount bar (if you wanted to) to allow Jeep rear swing door to open.

Got this for my wife's 17 Pacifica. easy to put together and super sturdy. I will still be welding it together so I don't have to worry about the bolts. I stood on it and at 225 lbs, there was not movement. Multiple tie down points ensure I always have something to latch to that will be strong since this is steel. Nice powder coating on the carrier. I will be using a Curt waterproof bag shortly with this. The retention bolt is a screw in so it tends to discourage someone from stealing it unless they have the tools on hand. 12 bolts and about 10 minutes to install. Very happy.

The Rola 59502 cargo carrier arrived on time as estimated in the shipping information. Assembly was very easy. Recommend using a torque wrench to tighten all bolts as shown in the assembly instructions The Rola cargo carrier is built extremely well compared to other cargo carriers. The steel mesh bottom is 2 times as thick and heavy compared to other carriers. This carrier is heavy and may take two people to place into your receiver. The 600 lb capacity is larger than most carriers the slightly angled side walls help with placing larger items in the unit. I installed the Rola 59502 on a 2019 Toyota Tundra, front of truck on a Curt front mount receive. I will place a verity of items in the carrier from large ice chest, gas grill or bicycles. We go camping and bring quite a lot of gear.

So far so good. I read reviews about packaging being poor and product being damaged as a result. My packaging was great. More than adequate. Also read reviews about reflectors and hitch pins not being included. My package had both. Thumbs up. Easy to put together and install. Seems very solid. Only issue is with the cotter pin that is supposed to keep the hitch pin from backing out. If your receiver has a flange on it like my Toyota does you won’t get the cotter pin installed. I replaced it with a price if heavy gauge wire shaped to fit.

Though I don’t use it much, my last trip was 1500 miles with a dirt bike and about 209 lbs of additional gear on it and it was great! Very sturdy and solid. Lots of places to loop in tie down straps. Doesn’t lean to one side like so many you see on the highway. Just a good solid rack.

My son and I just assembled the carrier and did a test run . It was a very simple assembly and looks like we won't need the tail light assembly as the light are visible . We will have to attatch the license plate. I do have concerns about the pin clip. It simply pops on and I'm worried it will pop off during travel. I am going to look got a locking clip before I travel, but so far it looks like it will free up a lot of space from the cab area .

This Rola hitch mounted cargo carrier is perfect for our 2012 Sequoia. It sits high and far enough from the exhaust. Also, it does not sag like many other hitch mounted carriers. Ricky at etrailer was very knowledgeable about what would and would not work for our vehicle. Etrailer has earned a new and loyal customer.

Used it yesterday. Solid materials love the extra ground clearance as i live in an area of steep slopes and hills. I also have a rhino rack on top and i can use my vehicle to move lumber and the rola on the back is rated for 600 lbs great for bags of concrete and landscaping materials. Thanks again etrailer for the sweet selection and prices.

I have seen others driving down the road with their carriers flapping in the wind and made it a point to find one that would not shake and wobble while driving. I just put mine together but I can tell you this thing is a sturdy beast. Kudos to etrailer for putting plenty of videos up so I could tell how this thing would handle on the road. I'll report after my trip to Tampa for spring break with the family. I looked at another brand and this one just had a simple but solid design and the ones that fold up look like they will fall apart so I stayed away from those. I have a rooftop carrier as well and this will compliment that nicely. I've bought from etrailer before and what can I say? Top notch!

view full answer... - Recommended Cargo Bag for the Rola Cargo Carrier Part # 59502The correct cargo bag for the Rola Cargo Carrier part # 59502 is the Rola Expandable Cargo Bag part # 59102. This Rola bag is 48" long x 19" wide and the above Rola cargo carrier is 59" long x 22" wide therefore will work well with each other. The other cargo bag you mentioned is the Rola TuffBak Cargo Bag part # 59119 which measures 59" long x 24" wide therefore, will be too wide for the above cargo carrier. The Rola Expandable cargo bag is water resistant and offers up to 11.5 cu....
view full answer... - Comparing Rola and Pro Series Cargo Carriers for a 2009 Toyota HighlanderThe Pro Series carrier # 63153 is a great value. The steel mesh floor of this basket has a smaller opening compared to the Rola's carrier, # 59502 so it is less likely to allow something to fall through. If you will not be using the carrier very often then I would go with the Pro Series carrier all the way. It can be fitted with light kit # 20174. Basically, the Pro Series carrier is the best bet if you need to get the job done and aren't looking to look pretty while doing it. The Rola...

Your cooler will easily fit. Other options can be seen on the linked page, such as the Curt folding carrier # C18151 which has an interior platform measuring 58 x 20-inches. Overall outside dimensions are 59-1/4 long x 21-inches wide. This carrier also folds up when not in use, unlike the Rola which does not offer folding capability. If you prefer a non-folding...
view full answer... - Does the 22x59 Rola Cargo Carrier Part # 59502 Come with a Hitch PinYes, the 22x59 Rola Cargo Carrier part # 59502 comes with a threaded hitch pin that will allow you to secure the cargo carrier to the trailer hitch. Because it is threaded, it will help with stabilizing the carrier keeping your cargo safe and secure. We also have a light kit for this carrier, the Rola LED Light Kit for Railed Cargo Carriers part # 59516 which will allow you to signal other motorists behind you if your cargo blocks the tail lights on the vehicle. It will plug into a 4-way...
view full answer... - Replacement Hitch Pin for the 22x59 Rola Cargo Carrier Part # 59502I do have an option for you but Rola does not offer a replacement threaded hitch pin for the 22x59 Rola Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches part # 59502. However, they do specify that the hitch pin has 5/8"-11 threads so if I were you, I would just go to the hardware store and pick up a 5/8"-11 bolt and nut to secure the cargo carrier to your vehicle.
view full answer... - Modifying Shank on Rola Cargo Carrier, Part # 59502The Rola Cargo Carrier part # 59502 has an angled shank. If you were to shorten the distance between the carrier and the vehicle, the angled portion of the shank would be too close to the receiver to slide into it. Additionally, the shank is constructed of hollow tubing, having and additional hitch pin hole so close to the original would compromise the strength of the shank, not to mention that it would invalidate the warranty. If you are looking for a carrier with a shorter shank that...
view full answer... - Carrying a Generator, Inflatable Boat, and Gear on a Rola Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo CarrierRola cargo carrier # 59502 is rated for 600 pounds so the carrier can handle the 310 pounds of gear you will be carrying. You also have to check the tongue weight capacity of the hitch and of the vehicle. Whichever is lower is the capacity you need to go by. As far as highway speeds it would not be a problem since the carrier and things loaded on it are behind the vehicle which blocks the wind.
view full answer... - Hitch-Mount Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Your 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Sport should be equipped with a 2-inch Class III type trailer hitch receiver, like the Curt # 13456 that we offer. In this case you can use any compatible 2-inch Class III hitch cargo carrier. One such hitch carrier is the Rola # 59502 that you referenced. We also offer anti-rattle devices to help reduce play in the hitch. If your hitch has a tongue weight rating like that of the Curt, 600-lbs, then you can effectively use all of the capacity of a 500-lb-rated...

- What Gauges of Steel are Used On Rola 23x56 Railed Cargo Carrier, # 59502I spoke with my contact at Rola about the 23x56 Railed Cargo Carrier, # 59502. He stated that the shank uses 1/4 inch steel. The deck (floor portion of the carrier) uses 1/8 inch steel. And the side rails use 5/8 inch steel.
view full answer... - Recommended Waterproof Cargo Bag for Use with Rola Hitch Cargo Carrier 59502The choice of cargo bag to be used along with a hitch cargo carrier like the Rola # 59502 is not super critical. By that I mean that in some cases, depending on the shape and size of the items you need to load, you might actually want an over-size bag that is bit larger than the 22 x 59-inch carrier. This would allow for taller items in the bag to take up any slack. The closest fit in a waterproof bag comes from Curt, their 15-cubic-foot model # C18211. This is shown in the linked video....
view full answer... - What is the Height of the # 59502 from the Top of the Shank to the Top of the Railing? From the top of the shank (the part that goes into the hitch receiver) to the top of the railing of the 22x59 Rola Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # 59502, it is about 6-3/4 inches high. If the Rola Cargo Carrier is too high for you to open the doors on your 2021 Sprinter 2500 chassis, there are other cargo carriers that do not the added 2-inch rise of the Rola carrier. For a solution of a carrier that doesn't have rise in the shank and is RV approved, I recommend the 23x59 Stromberg Carlson...
view full answer... - Recommended Carrier to Carry Vespa MP3 250I do have a solution for you. Check out the Rola Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches, # 59502. This carrier has a weight capacity of 600 lbs. The carrier itself weighs 72 lbs and according to my research your Vespa weighs 494 lbs., so you should be okay as far as weight capacity goes. Check out the video review and test course video of this carrier I have included at right. If your scooter blocks the tail lights on your vehicle the optional light kit, # 20174, must be installed on this hitch-mounted...
