etrailer cargo carrier

Note: This is not rated for use on the back of an RV or motorhome.


This cargo carrier lets you transport your gear on the back of your vehicle. It tilts down for cargo area access even when it's loaded with gear, and you can fold it up against the back of your vehicle when it's not in use. It has raised side rails that help contain your gear and provide tie-down points, and the steel mesh floor offers stability for your cargo.


Tilting and Folding Design

etrailer cargo carrier

The carrier tilts down - even when it's loaded with gear - so you can easily access your vehicle's rear cargo area. Before you tilt the carrier make sure your cargo is strapped down and secure. Simply support the front edge with one hand, remove the pins (standard 5/8" or 16 mm diameter 2" hitch pins) located in the upper and center shank holes, and gently lower the carrier.


etrailer cargo carrier

When the carrier is not being used, you can fold it up against the back of your vehicle. This lets you fit into your garage and other tight parking spaces without removing the basket. To fold the basket up, just remove the pin from the center shank hole, fold the rack up toward your vehicle, then reinsert the pin into the bottom shank hole.


Raised Side Rails

etrailer cargo carrier

The carrier has raised side rails that help keep your cargo in place. The rails also provide multiple anchor points for a cargo net, bungee straps, or other tie-downs.


Angled and Extended Shank

etrailer cargo carrieretrailer cargo carrier

The shank on this carrier is raised to improve ground clearance, and to make it easier for you to load and unload your cargo. It also extends the basket away from your vehicle, which helps prevent contact with your bumper or rear-mounted spare tire when the carrier is folded up.


Easy Assembly and Durable Construction

etrailer cargo carrier

The carrier is easy to assemble. Simply bolt it together with the included hardware. The basket is made of heavy-duty steel with a rust-resistant black powder coat finish, and it has an easy-to-clean mesh floor. You can add a light kit (sold separately), which is required if your gear blocks your vehicle's tail lights.


Automatic Hitch Pin Hole Alignment

Alignment Collar

The stop collar automatically aligns the pin holes on the shank and your hitch every time you install the carrier. It prevents you from having to get on your hands and knees to check for pinhole alignment. It's quick and easy to install, just slide the collar onto the shank, insert the carrier into your hitch, align the pin holes, slide the collar up against your hitch, and tighten down the bolt with included hand knobs. Once it's set up you never have to adjust it again.


Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin

etrailer cargo carrier

An anti-rattle hitch pin is included for securing the carrier to the hitch receiver. Align the hole in the shank with the hole in your vehicle's hitch, insert the pin into the hole, and secure with the clip. This will reduce noise and movement of the carrier in your hitch.

  • Best RV Rated Cargo Carrier Option for Cooler, Generator and Bikes
    I do have a solution for you, but the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier # e98874 is not designed to be used on the back of an RV. Generally speaking, folding carriers are not ideal because they do not stand up too well to the extra stress exerted by the excessive up and down movement that takes place behind the rear axle of an RV. Instead, take a look at the 23x60 Stromberg Carlson Cargo Carrier # CC-100. It's also rated for 500 lbs and it's basically the same size. The difference is that Stomberg...

  • Best Cargo Basket And Hitch Extender For 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    Yes, it would be wise to grab the 8 inch extender # e88YR but the Reese Cargo Carrier # 63153 isn't what you want. It lacks the tilting feature which also means it cannot fold up to your 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited when not in use. The etrailer Cargo Carrier # e98874 can tilt and fold up! That's a feature I use alot because I don't like having to take the carrier in and out that often. With the 8 inch extension, you should be able to fold it up with no problem! If it were me, I would...

  • Comparing Curt Cargo Carrier C18109 and Pro Series Carrier 6502
    No, these are 2 different brands. The Pro Series carrier is made by Cequent/Horizon Global and on it is # 6502. The other one, # C18109, is made by Curt manufacturing. The Curt model is also larger at 19 x 60 inches compared to 20 x 48 inches for # 6502. Both only fit 2 inch trailer hitches, both can fold up, and both have a 500 pound capacity. Another key difference is that the Curt model has a straight shank and the Pro Series has a rise in the shank (if more ground clearance is needed)....

  • Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2015 Jeep Wrangler
    The etrailer Folding Cargo Carrier part # e98874 that you referenced should work well on your 2015 Wrangler and clear the spare when folded up. If you check out the video I attached you will see that this carrier should clear the spare when folded up and should allow the rear gate to open slightly when the carrier is folded down. It should work well for you.

  • Reflector Solution for Use with etrailer Cargo Carrier e98874
    For reflectors to use with the etrailer cargo carrier you have now # e98874 we normally recommend the # RE10RB which is a quantity of 2. These have an adhesive backing that you can use to apply them to the railings of the carrier. This would be the easiest solution but these also have holes you could use to drill into the carrier and permanently like that as well. Where you want to install them is up to you though.

  • Best Trailer Hitch And Install Video For 2025 Chrysler Pacifica
    Hello Shara, thanks for reaching out. I see that you already ordered the # e98903 hitch which is for the 2025 Pacifica, but I wanted to reply anyway to make sure all your questions were answered. To answer your first question, we do have a video showing this hitch installed on a 2023 Pacifica, and I have linked it for you below. Installation will be virtually identical to the 2025 model, so if you are planning to install yourself that video will be a big help. I actually installed a hitch...

  • Is License Plate Bracket Needed when Using Cargo Carrier # C18113
    If you wanted to mount your license plate to the Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18113 you could but we don't have a specific way to do so. You could attach something like the part # LP35BB to it if you'd be willing to modify the carrier. Now that said we've found that when license plates are obscured by cargo carriers like this police officers generally are not bothered enough to pull people over and give them a hard time. Using a rise adapter to try and gain more ground clearance isn't...

  • Best Trailer Hitch, Cargo Carrier and Cargo Bag for 2018 Infiniti QX60
    We have all the best parts to add a hitch, cargo carrier and cargo bag to your 2018 Infiniti QX60, and let's start with the hitch. The best hitch for your 2018 Infiniti QX60 is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76031 because it is has the most ground clearance and bumper clearance of any hitch for your car. This means your cargo carrier is going to be as high off the ground as it can be with this hitch over any other. I have added a photo and a link to a video install on an '18 QX60...

  • etrailer Hitch Pin Alignment Collar Compatibilty
    Of course! We have two different size alignment tools. One for 2 inch hitches # e98942 and one for 2-1/2 inch hitches # e38zr. Both help save time when you're swapping out accessories especially when they have a threaded anti-rattle bolt like our cargo carrier # e98874 does.

  • What Can Help Control the Bouncing and Shaking Seen on Hitch Mounted Cargo Carriers
    The bouncing and shaking that you saw in the video is the norm on the majority of cargo carriers on the market. The extended location from the hitch causes the carrier to bounce more than a hitch accessory that might sit closer to the vehicle. There are a few products that can help with the bounce. An anti-rattle device, like # e99007 for 2 inch hitches, can help by securing the cargo carrier's hitch shank to the hitch receiver. The bolts will push the shank up tight against the top of...

  • 2019 Subaru Outback Tongue Weight w/ 24x60 etrailer e98874 Cargo Carrier
    In the owner's manual after several readings, I found that Subaru mentions that the trailer's tongue weight should be between 8-11% of the trailer weight, not to exceed 200 lbs. Minus the packaging, the # e98874 etrailer 24x60 cargo carrier weighs just below 50 lbs, so this would leave you a bit more than 150 lbs of cargo capacity on the carrier without exceeding the tongue weight capacity mentioned by Subaru. I've linked you to a product description video featuring the carrier you'd...

  • Trailer Hitch and Lightweight Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2020 Toyota Highlander LE
    The best combination for you to carry a lightweight cargo carrier behind your 2020 Toyota Highlander is the Curt Trailer Hitch # C99FR and the 22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier, Item # C18113. Both of these have a 500 lb tongue weight rating which look to match up with the max rating of your vehicle - you will want to double check this in your owner's manual though just to be on the safe side. The Curt hitch features a hidden crosstube so all you're going to see is the receiver. This means...

  • Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier with Tilting Function for a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    The 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # e98874 is a great option. It is 24"x60", made of steel and has the tilting function you are looking for. It has a measurement of 9.5" from the center of the hitch pin hole to closest edge of carrier when folded up. There is a good chance you will not have enough clearance from your spare tire for this to fit when folded. But that is the largest distance we have for a tilting carrier. You could look into a hitch extender like the # e88YR....

    The Curt Cargo Carrier, # C18151, and the etrailer Cargo Carrier, # e98874, are both folding cargo carriers with 60 inch width but the etrailer carrier is 4 inches deeper at 24 inches. They both have steel mesh platforms and raised side rails. They also have the same weight capacity and dimensions. A small difference between these cargo carriers is bumper clearance. When folded, the etrailer carrier measures 9-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the...

The Curt Cargo Bag # C18211 that you also mentioned has overall dimensions of 56 inches long and 22 inches wide. Although the width of this bag is a bit larger than the usable width on the cargo carrier, this storage bag does have a soft/flexible bottom that will allow it to fit inside the carrier. This bag will work just fine with the etrailer Cargo Carrier....

  • Can Yakima EXO System Install on RV
    Hi Dan; I believe Yakima actually has tested this which is why they specifically state in their EXO guidelines "EXO is NOT suitable for RV" under their warnings. As great as it would be to use it you wouldn't want to find that you lost part of the # Y44ZR on the road somewhere along the way. You will need to stick with a standard cargo carrier like # e98874 or the bumper mounted # e96ZR to carry extra gear.

  • Will the etrailer.com Folding Cargo Carrier Fit a 2007 GMC Acadia with Factory Equipped 2 Inch Hitch
    You will need to take one measurement on your Acadia to determine hitch clearance. Lay a yard stick or dowel rod against the furthest point of your bumper. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to yard stick. If this measurement is under 9-1/2 inches, you can use the carrier.

  • Will etrailer Hitch Cargo Carrier e98874 Fail with 200 lb Generator
    Hey Bill, so I found the picture and review you mentioned and what you can see in that picture is that it is being used at the rear of a travel trailer which is A LOT rougher than the rear of a vehicle. This is due to the much less sophisticated suspension and the much larger distance between the rear axle of the trailer and the rear of the trailer. This great exaggerates every bump you hit due to the increased leverage this creates. This puts a lot more stress on unsupported loads like...

  • Best Option for Front-Mounted Trailer Hitch on 2009 Dodge Ram 2500
    The best option for a front-mounted trailer hitch that fits your 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 is absolutely the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65046. The biggest reason being the capacity you mentioned, as this is the only front-mount hitch for your Ram that has a 500 lb vertical load rating, which means it has the capacity to carry heavier cargo than any other hitch with a carrier like the etrailer Cargo Carrier # e98874. It is also going to be the easiest install with no type...

    For a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude, I'd recommend going with the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13395. I prefer this hitch to the # C13171 you'd looked at because once installed, it's almost completely hidden behind the Cherokee's bumper with only the receiver tube and safety chain hoops visible. I've provided side by side comparison photos for you to look at. The hitches are pretty close price-wise, I personally would much rather have the more concealed option. It sounds as if you want...
