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.
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 located in the upper and center shank holes, and gently lower the 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.
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.
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.
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. Reflectors (sold separately) are available to increase the carrier's visibility at night. You can also add a light kit (sold separately), which is required if your gear blocks your vehicle's tail lights.
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.
An anti-rattle, threaded 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, screw the pin into the hole, and secure with the clip. This will reduce noise and movement of the carrier in your hitch.

This hitch-mounted cargo carrier tilts away from your vehicle - with gear loaded - for easy cargo area access, and it folds up for storage when not in use. The spacious basket has side rails that help contain your cargo and provide tie-down points.This will work on a Jeep Library if you add a hitch extension. I welded an 7” extension to the receiver opening. (No rattling) If you weld it, make sure it’s level or the carrier won’t be. With the spare on the back of my Jeep the carrier wouldn’t fold up. Does now with room to go. I have a Motorhome and this is my tow vehicle. Carrier is used mainly for bikes. I was tired of booking up my small boat trailer with spare in the way. Now ball is accessible. This is a well built carrier. Doesn’t move or rattle at all. Thanks etrailer. 777426
Great product, solid and beautiful 728384
The product seems very well made, but I have not used it yet. I plan on hauling items on the back of my Audi Q7, so I think the tilting feature will allow easier access to items store in the rear lift gate. On the other hand, the packaging for this product was horrible! As with several other large items I have ordered from etrailer, the cardboard boxes they use are not designed for the weight of the contents. On this occasion, nothing seemed to be missing, but the rack is scratched up. 661279
Good product fast shipping 640104
I like everything so far except the screw in bolt to secure the basket to the car trailer hitch. I would prefer one that just slips in with a clip. Very easy to assemble. 663811
This was easy to put together. 663046
Went together great haven't used yet not till end of Dec going to Florida 729012
Easy to Assemble. Included wrench is thick walled so I was unable to use it for tighten the anit-rattle bolt with it, as it was too close to my tube hitch. Very sturdy, even with the fold up and tilt forward features. Does move a decent amount when folded up. One feature I would like to see added is some sort of reflective tape, even if it is optional to apply. This carrier is substantially larger than the one I am replacing it with. I applied reflective tape to my old one, since it gives me comfort that drivers behind me are aware that it is there. Overall a well made and budget friendly product, which is no surprise from the knowledgable staff at etrailer.com. 643639

Curt M - 05/19/2020Please keep in mind the weight capacity of the cargo carrier is 500 lbs. You will also need to evenly distribute the weight as well.
-- Heather A - 5/22/2020Works great behind my 2004 ford Expedition. Its big, seems sturdy, and does not rattle. 722484
I ordered this on a Monday and it was shipped (free shipping) from MO to MA and I had it on my door step by Friday ! It was Very easy to attach to our vehicle (2018 Chevy Traverse) , my husband was able to do it by himself. We used it the next day to go to the beach and it worked out wonderful! It will fold up to get out of way when unloaded. Will also tilt down with the load on so we can open back hatch. This is perfect for us and the price was very reasonable! 659246
Product seems to be heavy duty and well built. The installation instruction were very hard to read. The diagrams were way to small. It was missing hardware and one of the larger bolts was stripped prior to installation. So I had to make a trip to the hardware store to complete the assembly. The tools provided would be helpful for those that do not have the proper tools for assembly. When I initially placed my order it said it would be delivered before Christmas and that was over 5 weeks away. But it arrived in less than a week. So shipping was faster than expected. Overall, this carrier seems to be a well made product. We will be using it on our family vacation in a few weeks so I will update this review after we get back. 728563
So far, so good! It's pretty simple to insert and remove. The overall quality seems fine. It was not difficult to assemble. Overall, a good product. I would recommend this to a friend. 639168
We are impressed by the quality and ease of installation. I like how easy it is to fold up while it’s not in use. It’s not in the way of opening the back either..The only thing we had to do was look for instructions online to install cause it was hard for us to read the paper. We can’t wait to use it for our upcoming beach trip. 616009
Made very well no issues 636336
This is a unique cargo carrier. I wanted the ability to fold it up when not in use, which it does. I also appreciate the tilt function, which means one does not need to unload and reload the cargo tray to access the rear hatch area. It has a bolt tensioner to secure the load from vibration and a clamp to make installs easier. This is the only cargo carrier I found on the web that has all these features. Also, very sturdy metal is used throughout. An e-trailer exclusive. 719833
Great product that seems well made for the price and the tilting/folding is a great feature. The product is simple to put together. I'm going to add a few reflectors to it for safety, but otherwise no complaints at all. Would buy again. 636331
The cargo carrier performed as needed. Very good quality. 618057
This product is strong and sturdy, and the welds are strong and well finished. The powder coating is of the highest quality. Assembly is easy, with clear instructions. This carrier is rated for 500 pounds, but feels like it could easily handle twice that weight. Top quality!!! 633786
As always, etrailer.com delivers very quickly. It is more sturdy than I thought it would be and I'm sure will last for years. My only dislike about it is the threaded hitch pin. If you're swapping back and forth from this to a trailer or other hitch mounted items, you'll need a wrench to do so. Or maybe I will drill out the threads to allow for a standard hitch pin to allow for quick installation and removal. 733234
Wonderful sturdy equipment. Easy assembly and a perfect fit to our needs. Thank you for a great product! 647775
Please be VERY, VERY careful! Inside of this is threaded for a bolt. Please do not put finger inside to try and line up the pen/bolt. I lost the end of my fingertip installing it!! It does not slide easily as it has some weight to it nd hard to line up to thread bolt in. Also to adjust it up and down is very hard as pens do not slide in/out easily. I'd recommend help so you don't hurt yourself! I would recommend the product but with extreme caution! Would also be nice if it had reflectors for night. Other than the install I think its good product and worked for short trip. But please use extreme caution installing as well as taking apart. 635714
Works well. The only thing i would change on it would be the bolt for the hitch pin. The hitch location on the jeep makes it tough to use the supplied wrench to tighten the bolt. Other than that it works great. 913106

Good price and solid product. Assembly is straight forward. The 3 star rating is for the screw in trailer hitch pin.....its not an easy put the pin in and go or pull the pin out and take it off. You have to screw / unscrew the hitch pin to put the carrier on and take it off, requiring tools, effort, and time. 909537
Love the carrier but hitch pin is too short for my 2020 Tacoma TRD Pro. Anxious to find a longer pin and actually use the carrier. 904192
