24x60 Surco Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs

by: Barry07/11/2017

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. 404325

This cargo basket came recommended by the tech support guys at Etrailer. The construction is excellent and it fit perfect on our 2007 MDX. 94330

One year later, and absolutely no problems with the cargo carrier. We do not use it alot, and store it in our shed. However, it is very handy and cannot accommodate an incredible amount of stuff. Very satisfied with the purchase.

So 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. 525563

I ordered the 24 x 60 folding Cargo Carrier, Extra Large Cargo Carrier Bag and Cargo Carrier Light Kit. I placed my order on a Saturday and elected the free shipping option. Even with free shipping, I received everything within 5 days. The Cargo Carrier was undamaged and seems very sturdy. Very easy to put together. It took me 20 minutes to add the light kit. The Cargo Bag is BIG and seems to be made out of good quality material. I installed the Cargo Carrier on my 1999 Jeep Grand Charokee. The folding arm caused the Cargo Carrier basket to sit 16 inch alway from the bumper. My only real complaint is that with the folding arm on the Cargo Carrier, the 4 wire flat connector on the Light Kit was too short to connect to my jeep. I had to purchase a 12 inch 4 wire extension. In the fold up position, I had plenty of space between my vehicle and the Cargo Carrier. The lights are a nice size and are very bright. I added reflector tape to the Cargo Carrier for added safety. My overall experience with Etrailer is very positive. I would buy from them again. 9870

Great Product - arrived on time - in great shape. Easy to assemble. It is just what the video & online advertised. I wanted something that was 24 x 60 and solid. This is it!! Holds 4 large coolers - iced and ready to tailgate. Go Bucks!! 156983

Great unit. Heavy duty - it does the job. Just the right size for coolers etc. Keep up the good work!!!

This product was sturdy and secure. I was really pleased with it and loved that when folded up it did not rattle or wobble. Thank you for a great product. 155809

I till love the product. We have used it on long trips and it has stayed secure and the capacity it holds is suitable. Thanks.

The carrier works great. I purchased the folding model. However, the carrier can be used without the folding part. I have used it both ways. It is great to have this option. I have travelled between Utah and Kansas multiple times. I have not driven in any wet weather yet so I can't say how the cargo bag performs in this type of weather. The carrier is sturdy and secure and the bag is made of heavy duty material. I have not had to use the lights since the carrier sits between my rear lights. The carrier assembled easily and without and issues. I had read some people recommended purchasing washers. I did not need to. My 8 year old helped me assemble it. Everything lined up perfectly and there is no wiggle in any of the connected parts. 61093

The 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. 17050

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!!!! 105119

I 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. 394546

Our product arrived in a timely manner...all parts were there...it went together easily. It was just what we expected, no surprises. I plan to use this to carry items that don't fit in my Tahoe when I attend outdoor art festivals. I am an artist and I fill my vehicle to the brim! The bin that holds my tent walls and roof fits perfectly on this carrier along with my box fans and an ice chest. Having this product eliminates the need to rent an entire trailer to accomodate the few items that don't fit inside my car. It's a Godsend since I try to keep my expenses down. Worth every penny. 17644

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. 318160

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... 39494

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.

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.. 1666

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 84010

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. 79628

Though I have not actually loaded this hauler, I thought the construction, coating, etc. were good. There was no problem fitting or assembling. I like the way the fold-up extension allows for access to the tailgate. Plus, if you don't want to up fold up extension, just take it off and use the rack as a conventional one. After reading bad reviews of the ones Cabela's sell, also Hitch Hauler , I was pleased to see the quality of this product. Just need to test it under a load. Good product 101287

by: Ollie M.01/16/2012

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 ... 29826

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. 180854

Bad design This would be a very good carrier had it been a one piece unit. There is a right and left side that bolt together, and I this is not a secure setup if the load is heavy or especially is it is not balanced perfectly. The tilting design is VERY nice to have. That piece by itself is a good quality part, but the basket itself is not. If it is redesigned to be a one piece then I'd have to think it may be worth the money. 60 by 25 is too large for a two piece. 1224

This product works great with the hitch that I bought from etrailer. The ability for it to fold up is going to be very handy as I live in a cold climate area and our an does not fit in the garage if it is not folded up. This does come in two parts, but is easy to assemble and seems to be very sturdy. We often travel across the country and this is going to come in handy to help store some of our items outside the van freeing up room for the kids and animals inside. 17197

by: Brian K.06/05/2010

Quality American product The only drawback is that it does not fold up on our 2009 Acura RDX (not enough clearance from hitch to hinge). That's OK, though: It would cost more to ship back the hinge and get an extender (not to mention the reduced capacity with an extension), so we've decided to simply go with the hinge. (Note: This carrier will *not* fit the Acura RDX without the hinge!) Advantage here is that the hinge raises the carrier about 6" higher. 3100

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. 39721

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***** 169116

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!!! 446304

Great Product Got this along with a Curt Class III hitch for use on a 2005 CR-V. Son & I had it assembled inside 30 minutes, along with the light kit. Great ordering experience and delivery. Doesn't fold up completely on the CR-V, but I knew that in advance; will fold up when I put it on the Odyssey. Heavy, but very solid, and I think its going to last a long time. Thanks! 2857

by: Chris Maskeri05/16/2011

Cargo Carrier is exactly what I expected it to be. The only concern I have is the pin that is used to lock the carrier in place (folded or flat) is very loose. The spring loaded catch does not seem to hold the pin securely. This is a concern if I am driving and the carrier is folded - If I lose the pin, the carrier could slam down. It looks like i might just use a hitch pin. 14122

The cargo carrier shipped immediately and arrived in great condition. I was able to assemble it in about 15min. I haven't tried it yet but it looks like it is going to work just as expected.

Extra room for supplies This hitch was a breeze to put together. Along with the anti-rattle lock, it provided for solid space to place some of the extras needed for travel when space is limited on the inside. I only with it was possible to run the wiring for the lights through the tubing so that it had a cleaner finish. 4256

The 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. 303677

by: Mary08/25/2017

Heavy duty. I would mention that the interior dimensions do not reflect the rounded corners. If you need exactly 24X60 you must deduct a few inches in width because the corners round off and you lose width/depth. 24X60 is at widest points. 424995
