Most Popular Hitch Cargo Carrier for 2012 Chevrolet Traverse

I ordered this cargo carrier for my 2012 Chevy Traverse (along with the hitch receiver and cargo bag) for my recently completed family vacation. I wanted to wait until I got back before I wrote a review so I could give accurate info on the products. First of all, my items were received within 3 days of placing my order so I was already off to a good start! Assembly/installation took about an hour and the items came with detailed, clear instructions and all necessary hardware. I stored all of our camping gear (8-man tent, queen size air mattress, double sleeping bag, 3 self-inflating single air mats, 3 regular sleeping bags, 5 camp pillows, and a large plastic tub containing a camp stove, cookware, etc.) in the cargo bag and loaded it onto the carrier. It all fit nicely and there was a bit of room to spare. It was also below the tail lights of my vehicle so I didn't need additional lights for the carrier itself. (I did remove my license plate and used the bracket to attach it to the carrier...you'll need your own nuts/bolts for this.) There are canvas straps supplied with the bag, however, I just used 3 ratchet tie-downs that I already had and it worked fine. I also ordered the anti-rattle locking hitch pin which was $20 well-spent...I didn't have to worry about anyone stealing my carrier and it there was virtually no noise from bumps in the road. I chose to go with this carrier rather than a roof-mounted carrier for two reasons. 1) I think it was MUCH easier to get stuff in and out of without needing to stand on something or constantly reaching over your head. 2) The effect on my overall gas mileage was negligible as compared to something on top of the vehicle encountering all that wind resistance. I put 6200 miles on my vehicle over the span of a 4-week roadtrip from Ohio to California and all of these products performed exceptionally. No problems whatsoever and no worries. Purchase with confidence!

Heavy, but it is great. I love this. Also the service that etrailer provides, is amazing and mkes it easier for me to choose where to shop for items like this.

I had called customer twice eager to know when my product was going to be delivered to me because i did not know how to track it but they was very helpful and explained to me nicely how not like other places now and days so rude and un helpful. service excellent! shipping delivered on time, i highly recommend this place to anyone whos looking for any of the product they have and would def order again.

Item worked perfectly. Delivery was great. Would recommend etrailer.com for all your trailer needs.

Very much appreciated the quick delivery of my order - thank you! My husband assembled the carrier and it seems like a good sturdy product. Unfortunately, a severe illness in the family forced us to cancel our vacation and we have not had an opportunity to use the hitch & carrier yet.

This was the first time I have ever order something from e-trailer. They did a great job. I would order from them again. I purchase a folding cargo carrier, anti-rattle device and lock and a Highland cargo carrier bag. The folding carrier works great on my 2010 Traverse. I will say that on the Traverse if you have the carrier in the upright position you will want to turn off your back up assist other wise it will go off every time you put the vehicle in reverse. The cargo bag did a good job protected my bags from a heavy rain storm. Overall a great purchase.

Trailer hitch was fast to install and done in like twenty min . The cargo was Easy to put together and installed Like it so far going camping loading it up with gear .

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!

Excellent product. Carried two coolers and two large plastic totes with room to spare. Plenty of tiedown options. etrailer videos are a big help with assembly.

The product was received in good shape,with no damage.

Very easy to assemble but it did not fit in the upright position on my 2011 Chevy Traverse. The license plate is in the bumper and the sides of the carrier impact the bumper on either side of the license plate when folded upright. The sides of the license plate are molded plastic that protrude from the bumper to house the lights for the plate. The simple fix was to bend the sides in a bit. That solution was better than trying to figure out how to extend the carrier further from the bumper to allow for another inch of clearance. The bend was easy using vice grips as the sides are aluminum. For the price and the 2X/year that I'll use this for beach chairs or extra luggage it's fine despite the fact it was not a perfect fit. What I like best is that it folds up and that it is very lightweight. It would be easy to stow on the roof rack if parking is tight or just to get it out of the way when accessing the trunk. And it'll come in handy if I ever have to haul the mower or blower to the shop since it's low ground clearance makes for easy loading and will keep my vehicle's interior from getting dirty. It would be nice if it came with a license plate holder that could be used in both flat and upright positions. I'll drill holes in the sides to mount the plate. A notice should be included to ensure that the license plate is not blocked from view when in use. We are driving to FL again this year and our concern is that Barney Fife will hassle us for an obstructed view of the plate. Last year we used a turtle top carrier but it is so high up on an SUV its impractical for quick trips to the beach. This carrier will be great for the cooler and sandy beach chairs and stuff. I'm thinking a large mesh utility bag to help keep all the stuff contained and make securing the load easier would be a nice extra. Last, it shipped on time and the order was complete with an additional item , a hitch lock, that all arrived in perfect condition. You need a lock for this b/c it is so light it'd probably be gone if you left it unlocked in a parking lot. Ordering was very easy! Thanks E-Trailer

C18100 carrier seems well made and easy to put together. Fits my 2020 Traverse perfectly, was worried about garage fit which worked perfectly and its light weight is great for easy install and removal.
