25x61 Outside dimensions. Powder coated cargo carrier has side rails that contain gear and provide tie-down points, as well as a raised platform for extra ground clearance. Conveniently folds up when not in use. Optional light kit sold separately.Thank you Surco and etrailer. I couldn't be happier with this cargo carrier. First off Made in the USA Fantastic quality of craftsmanship. So easy to assemble that I simply supervised my 9 and 11 year old while they did the work. (I did the final tightening of course) I've always been skeptical of hitch mounted carriers being held together with seemingly flimsy nuts and bolts but the heavy duty hardware provided with this unit dispelled any previous doubts I had about that. My grandmother, mother, sister, and niece are all visiting me for the summer and I will be driving them from place to place while they are here, including one long road trip down to south Padre island and back. I needed something to add some cargo space to my Toyota Highlander in order to accommodate their large luggage items. Rather than install a roof rack, I opted for the hitch mounted carrier for several reasons. Aside from being less expensive and easier to install it also does not increase wind resistance and road noise as well as being versatile in that I can easily move the carrier to my Prius or my full size pick up whenever I need a little extra space on either of those vehicles. I am an extremely informed and discerning costumer. It is not very often that make a purchase that I'm so completely satisfied with. Thanks again.
This cargo basket came recommended by the tech support guys at Etrailer. The construction is excellent and it fit perfect on our 2007 MDX.
Ernie L - 02/08/2015So I am a 72 year old female. I unboxed my product (too heavy to move the whole box) and moved it piece by piece to the car. I assembled it with no problem in 98 degree heat in about 30 minutes. I had to get a friend to help me put it on my vehicle-assembled weight too heavy. I can fold it with no problem. There is plenty of room to open the tailgate with the carrier in down position.
The product worked as advertised. I am glad I spent the time to research your product and spend a little more than some of the comparable a for a quality product. We used it this weekend to haul our gear up to Door County. See attached. I will plan to provide feedback on the message boards. Thanks, Kevin
Great product and large size fits family needs, looks great. Modified with two led tail/ turn lights and harness all purchased from etrailer. Folding it up was a must and not disappointed :-) etrailer was fast and very professional. Great job etrailer! We bought the Led lights, rubber grommets, right angle pig tails, trailer harness 4 plug, weather proof cargo bag, hitch locks and folding cargo carrier...all great quality...
I have sent an email to 08 Sequoia to let them know you had a question about how they completed the light set up. If they have anything to add, they can come back here and post a follow-up comment.

Patrick B - 10/18/2012The order came within a week of ordering, very fast delivery. It was packed extemely well in the box so no damage occurred. I found it easy to put together and is of very sturdy construction. It fit on our Traverse perfectly, even when folded up it was well below the tail lights. The extra large cargo bag is of equally good contruction and fit the carrier to a tee. Every part of this carrier and bag exceeds my expectations. And yes, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.
I am very happy with this carrier and my purchase experience with etrailer. UPS delivered my order to the wrong address but that wasn't etrailer's fault. When I called etrailer to track the delivery, the phone was answered by a real live human person. Noah was very polite and helpful in tracking down and resolving the delivery mistake. This carrier is a bit more expensive than some others in the same category but I chose it because of its many excellent user reviews, its size, and its folding capability. I need to be able to transport, among other things, a portable generator with a 24 inch wheel base and this is one of the few basket-style carriers I've found with the correct inside area. When you see carriers that list dimensions as 24" X 60", they usually are describing its outside dimensions (outside of rail to outside of rail). Assembly was simple, the carrier is strong, and makes little-to-no road noise when loaded or in the folded position. I added a bit of reflective tape and 2 reflectors to the underside for added safety when traveling with it in the folded position. No pictures yet but I will add some when I update this review after a bit more use. I also bought the purpose-made light kit (Item 52014) which is cheaply made and I would not recommend. I reviewed that item separately.
Perfect tool for game day Giant tailgate. Carrying coolers, tent, and generator.
Super fast shipping! Excellent customer service with notifications from order to delivery! Packed very well received without any damage via UPS, Super simple assembly in less that 10 minutes with a 1/2 in and 3/4 inch socket and wrench. Excellent quality first impression, happy with purchase, will report back after several months of use...
David - 01/28/2019I purchased 1 of these Cargo racks back in 2014 for my Chevy Tahoe for our vacation trips to the beach and beyond. I recently grabbed another for my Highlander for our camping trips to take extra supplies. I like that you can easily fold up the rack when you are not using it for hauling. It's light weight, and is easy to assemble. Example of this recent camping trip, I took 12 person tent, 1 Beach canopy tent, 8 folding chairs, 2 dog 24" x24" folding fence, 6 various size tarps and 8 (2 piece) fishing poles loaded on 1 rack only. The other rack held 3 coolers, 2 fishing tackle boxes and various other odd and ends.
Good strong product. Hauled some loads of 150+ lbs with no problems. Nothing bad to say about it. The folding mechanism appears well made and sturdy unlike some cheaper imports I've seen in the past. Just a FYI about the folding mechanism. Depending on your vehicle you may have to buy a hitch extension so it will fold up. The only thing I would suggest for the manufacturer to change would be to consider lengthening the hitch tube by about a inch to let it fold up on more vehicles. I would buy this product again and highly recommend it.
I have put it together everything was great. Very well made. A lot better built than the cheaper ones out there. Attached it to my equinox doesn’t rattle at all. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this carrier. Also the customer service department a big thumbs up answered my questions quickly. My advice to anyone looking to buy this carrier well worth it, you won’t be disappointed!!!
Craig - 10/26/2018The product is as advertised and even better than I expected. I use it to carry my outdoor chairs, grill and ground cover. This has opened up a lot of space inside my motor home. The folding feature makes it very convenient while at the campground and makes storage at home simple.
Our trip date was pushed up by a few days, and we needed this cargo carrier the next day. ETrailer had this carrier to us within 24 hours. Service was great and their shipping tracking is the best I've seen. The product is seriously sturdy and took maybe 15 minutes to bolt together. The hitch fit our 2019 Ford Flex perfectly....even with a large cargo bag strapped on to the carrier, the back hatch opens easily for the dog to hop in and out of the vehicle... We had zero problems with this...... Very happy with the product and the service..
Very happy with this purchase. Hinge mechanism is strong and well built. Framing of the carrier is solid. My only suggestion/complaint is that the mesh flooring could be a little stronger. I noticed that after I tied down an item in the carrier that had wheels, the flooring bowed a little bit. The folding mechanism keeps the basket out of the way when it is empty and sits right up against the back of my 2015 Kia Sorento without ever making contact with any part of the car.

Good but could be better... My chief complaint is that it didn't come with reflective tape (I added that later). My other complaint is that the main hitch could fit a little more snug in a standard 2" hitch... Because it isn't a tight fit it allows the carrier to twist from side to side putting unnecessary twisting pressure on the bolts and the weld joints... I would suggest adding a couple of sleeve options to act as shims to snug up the fit to reduce the twist… Otherwise the cargo carrier did a great job..
The carrier is made to last ....very strong and sturdy....lots of room too. Customer service was amazing it arrived quicker than expected and they stayed in constant contact to let me know where the item was and how soon it would arrive. I have never had customer service this good. I will do business with these folks for all my needs. I cannot say enough good things about them. I never take the time to write reviews but the service and product was so good I felt compelled to take the time to write one. If you are considering buying one of these or any product from this company I would say you are in for a treat on how well they handle you as a customer. AMAZING!!!!
Good hardware with clean painting (weld splatter removed) and sturdy construction. Delivery was quick, painless. I believe that the weight rating capacity was 500 lbs for my purchase. The rack itself might be good for that much, but if you intend to actually load that much weight on it be sure to check the carrying capacity of your auto or truck, as 500 is a LOT of weight. The upper railing is a good idea; it provides an excellent place to attach a tie cord, or just to prevent items from falling off.
Great product, will be really useful on road trips. Works equally well on our F-150 and our Expedition. I like the rail sides for keeping gear secure. Really small profile when folded up. Looks great in place and folded. I was worried that it stuck out far from the bumper but it doesn't at all. It doesn't impede use of the lift gate or access to the back of the car at all. Bought light kit and it was easy to install. Delivery was fast.
I recently purchased a Surco cargo carrier from you, and it works great! I, initially, though the size might be too large, but as you can see, it was just right. Thank you.
Product delivered in two days. Box x 2 in perfect condition. Cargo carrier assembled in 20 minutes with clear instructions and essentially intuitive. Using PAYPAL seamless. Carrier used that evening on Pathfinder SUV and in fact in folded position fits into standard garage allowing door to close. Tie down framing perfect and secure. So far has exceeded my expections. This thing will last longer than vehicle and probably me as well. 5*****
Carrier went together very easily. Nice quality, great customer service.
I think this is a great carrier. It is strong and looks good on the SUV plus it arrived fast and was in good shape. I carried eight bags of mulch and a bag of fertilizer on it yesterday without any problems. I also got the cargo bag and lock. Both work very well although other than keeping the cargo carrier from rattling the lock is useless since anyone with a wrench can steel the carrier by unscrewing the bolt holding the fold down part together. Oh well, I will have to think on that one for a while.
Product was shipped and received faster than promised! Very minor assembly required. The instructions for assembly were extremely simple and all parts required were neatly packed in the box. The finished product is AWESOME! I chose this cargo carrier after a great deal of research. I am totally pleased. I can hardly wait to try it out on a Texas-to-California trip in February. Thank you so much for a very cool solution for carrying luggage behind my Class-C. Sorry ... no pics yet ...
