32x48 Reese Solo Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 400 lbs
Purchased this to carry an e-trike on the front of my truck. It was the only one I could find that would accommodate the 30" width of the trikes rear wheels.
Carrier is made very well. I read a lot of reviews before buying and some people complained about the reflective stickers falling off. They were right but didn't deter me from buying it. The structure & great price for the size of the carrier outweighs the cheap reflectors. The only issues I ran into was 3 of the bolts holes were partially covered by the mesh. Easy fix, bent them out of the way with a screwdriver inserted bolt, hammered mesh back in. Simple easy fix. I love the ample holes in the side of the carrier for bungee cords or straps. Nice carrier well made great price love the 32" width.

24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Fits well on our Chev 2500 pickup with camper and works well as a step for getting into camper. Recommend purchasing with the anti-rattle pin. Haven't used yet but it looks like it is going to work great.
We just installed our carrier. We love that this is going to free up a lot of space for our vacation traveling. Very heavy duty and bigger than i was thinking it would be.The pin that holds the carrier in the hitch was not included. It would have been an added bonus if it was.

24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Thank you for your quick response and service.
The rack is much bigger than my previous one. I was disappointed that it was made in China instead of the USA. It assembled very easily and the light kit works very well. The only draw back is I can no longer open my tailgate with the rack installed due to the spare tire hitting the raised rack.

Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches - With Ramp - 77" Long - 500 lbs
I can't say I'm entirely happy with my purchase. The instructions were more confusing than helpful. Note in "instruction.jpg" photo of STEP 1 that the text says to put the 8 small bolts in from the inside first, but the drawing clearly shows them as going in from the outside. The last step says to place the ramp onto the receiver as shown.... glad I didn't throw away the box because there is no drawing that shows ramp installation. Actually, the photo on the box was more helpful than any of the instructions. Also, I need to make a trip to the hardware store to buy longer medium bolts because the ones that came with the carrier were not long enough to fully engage the self locking feature of the nylon lock nuts. At a minimum a couple of threads should protrude beyond the nylon. See photo "nut.jpg". The bolt threads don't reach the end of the nylon, so the self locking feature is not fully engaged. I did tighten the nut, but that was as far as it would go. I think once I get back from the hardware store with the new medium bolts and after I reverse the 8 small bolts (I followed the drawing and not the text of the instructions), I'll be OK with the carrier.
"Instantly Get Rid of Wobble and Upgrade With Lights" This is not a 5 because ramp should be longer & there should be some type stabilizer to temporary hold bike while strapping down, I'd pay more for those upgrades. The wobble can instantly be solved by hooking Tie-Straps closest to vehicle directly to the receiver where you hook your chains, rather than hooking them to the provided holes on carrier itself. You of course use the provided strap holes ones on the opposite side. When strapped down as stated, the carrier now becomes one with the vehicle & @ 80mph there is no wobble. (*TIP: Put ramp back in its place before strapping down or else it won't fit with the strap hooks in the way.) I upgraded mine with lights for both safety reasons & not needing the Police any reason to pull me over. It was very simple and cost me nothing but time & maybe $50. I recommend this product whole heartedly.

24x27 TorkLift Lock and Load Maximum Security Cargo Tray for 2" Hitches 500 lbs
I bought this to carry a Westinghouse igen4500 on the rear of my 5th wheel. So far it's been perfect for the job. The quality is very good. The carrier is sturdy and is highly adjustable. I searched for a long time for the smallest carrier that would fit my generator with the greatest weight capacity. The TorkLift, while a bit expensive, fit the needs perfectly. I had extra reinforcements welded from my trailer frame to the hitch point, added an anti-rattle receiver lock and we now have the perfect generator carrier solution. Hope this review can save others time in their search for the same kind of solution.
The Carrier is perfect, we had one previously. It perfectly fits and clears our spare tire. The Firman 4000/3200 Generator fits perfectly. We did add some damping pads under the wheels and the feet of the Generator to prevent vibration. Great security mechanism. Highly recommend this tray and other Torklift Products. Note: we rarely use the gas furnace, the exhaust is right there, heat shield blank to deflect heat if needed.

24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Tilting - Folding - 500 lbs
Super disappointed in this etrailer purchase. The product came in a large box that was fully intact and not damaged. The actual cargo basket was meticulously wrapped and appeared to be brand new as expected. The other components however, like the arm, were in boxes that were smashed, old, worn, and had multiple layers of old tape. The arm itself was scratched and banged up, even rusty in spots. Clearly it was used or had been a returned item. If I wanted a dented, gouged,and rusty Cargo Carrier I would have purchased one used, for half the price. This is not the quality I expect from etrailer.. I have purchased many racks and other items from this company and usually the quality is outstanding. This time they dropped the ball. I have since read other reviews and it is apparent that this is not an isolated incident. I'd have sent it back if it wasn't so damn heavy and awkward to lug around.
This carrier worked out great. The tilt down feature is helpful to have but I didn't really need it. However, the fold up feature was helpful when driving around, so I recommend that as a convenience. The only thing I had trouble with was the hitch bolt. I have a Thule bike rack that I've used with my truck hitch receiver and never had a problem, but this rack's hitch bolt was a real pain to get in at first. Don't be dismayed. With the rack off of the vehicle, I used some WD-40 and some lithium grease on the bolt and then used an adjustable wrench to screw it in and out a number of times. I noticed a bunch of either paint or metal shards gumming up the threads on the bolt each time I removed it. After about 5 times of screwing it in and out, wiping off the bolt with a towel, adding some more grease once in a while, it got to the point that I could screw it in and out by hand pretty easily. Problem solved. I'm really happy with this rack. It fit two big coolers of food and beer plus beach umbrellas and other stuff. It's really strong and sturdy. The biggest issue was not the weight on the rack, but whether the rear suspension on the Highlander could hold it with our other junk in the back plus passengers. :-)

16x21 TorkLift Lock and Load SideKick Cargo Tray for 2" Hitches - 200 lbs
Just what I was looking for. Wanted to carry a small Honda generator and skinny gas can. I tilted the "Y" shaped security bar away from the vehicle by putting more washer between it and the carrier. That moved the generator enough to fit in the skinny gas can.
Very good quality for different types of generators. Again, I would’ve gave it five stars if it wasn’t for the price. But it is very well quality.

19x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
Product arrived when etrailer said it would. Outer box was in rough shape, but no damage to the contents. Assembled easy in about 20 min. with the help of my son. Worked flawlessly on our 2500 mile road trip to Canada. This was used on a 2008 Toyota Sienna. Before we use it again I plan on installing adjustable air suspension on the rear coil springs to give a little more clearance when loaded heavy. We scrapped the bottom of the carrier on several bumps throughout the trip. Not the fault of the cargo carrier, just loaded down heavy with 4 peeps, gear and the dog. Seems like a very durable carrier, and at a great price.
The folding cargo carrier we purchased worked great. Put it on a Honda Pilot and drove over 2500 miles from the Phoenix area to the Midwest and back. We could hardly tell it was on the vehicle and we had it loaded with six large suitcases and other baggage, probably over 300 pounds. We also got the large cargo bag to put everything in and drove through rain, ice and snow. It protected everything perfectly. It was also easy to put on and take off, easy to load and still allowed for the back hatch to open. Makes a smaller vehicle feel larger with the extra cargo space you get.

Great quality and serves its purpose. I wish I ordered the slightly bigger one to fit the bins and items I use it for. For example, a white standard igloo cooler doesn’t fit the way I need it to maximize loading capacity. I highly recommend a stabilizer to prevent wobble.

Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System w/ 2 Enclosed Cargo Carriers - 2" Hitches
Very interesting! I am pleased with this purchase. All of this equipment is well built and was designed with ease of use and security in mind. The hitch part is surprisingly pretty heavy, but once it is connected this weight gives the hitch a sturdy feel. The lockers are pretty big and the material though light weight feels like it will hold up to some rough miles and a few bruises. It is so nice to have this much dry secure and easy to access storage outside of our vehicle. Customer service was excellent and delivery times were surprisingly short.
Very easy to install. Total installation time (not counting taking photos and opening boxes) was approximately 15 minutes. The only issue I encountered was the left handle on the lower rack had a broken piece inside the locking pin assembly. Other than that, everything was quick and smooth for a single person job. This will greatly assist my business by allowing more room for passenger comfort on long trips to and from airports with a large party. Looking forward to putting this to use.

GearSpace 34 Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitch - Slide Out - 34 cu ft - 300 lbs - Dark Gray
We looked all over for a hardshell storage pod, one that would fit 300 pounds of embroidery hardware. This one from Gearspace fit the bill. Super easy checkout with etrailer.com, and they were the only ones to offer free shipping, and since this is a larger, heavier item, that means LTL Freight. Not [online vendor] and not the Mfg. The GearSpace 34 arrived earlier than promised, and it was an easy unload if you have room for a sixty foot tractor trailer. 190 lbs on a pallet, but it will load right into the back of a pickup real easy. Took about 30 minutes to install, and it went like a breeze. Light test, check... signals, check. Ready to roll on our next RV trip, with lots more room for goodies along the way. This item gets an A+, it works as advertised, and etrailer.com was GREAT. They communicate often and update on order status. even sent out an email to get customer feedback and review, along with some pictures. I'm sure after this stellar review they will send me a nice etrailer hat & Koozie Pictures show the Gearspace 34 loaded with about 200 lbs right now. It never moved an inch and is solid on the mounting hitch hardware. You will not be disappointed with this product, it's top of the line for RV rear storage.
After much research for use of storage and security this Gear Space unit has served us exceptionally well. Our Class B RV is now complete!

GearSpace 34 Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitch - Slide Out - 34 cu ft - 300 lbs - Light Gray
Very pleased with product and the assistance provided for delivery - when the carrier called to arrange delivery their agent said that I'd be responsible for getting the 300# pallet off the truck so I let etrailer.com customer service rep know this was unacceptable and to my reliefthe delivery came on a lift gate truck with pallet jack. The package was in great shape and easy to get mounted to my Transit 350HD.
A little too early for review, since I just received it. As far as first impressions go..... item arrived well packed. Upon opening it, I noticed that there is a blemish on the side, looks like maybe it was pushed hard in that spot, or something hit it. It's not really big deal, doesn't take away from being able to use it, it's more cosmetic than anything else. The second issue was a bit more serious. One of the long screws on the locking mechanism fell out of its end. It was not screwed in, or permanently welded but glued in. Glue was all dried out and didn't hold anything. We managed to hammer it in, for now, and we will check if it's going to hold up. Box looks nice, roomy and it's easy to put together and install on the car. I'll be able to say more about it once we use it this weekend.

22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches - Aluminum - 500 lbs
Cargo carrier works as I needed. It is close to vehicle which can make it tight to insert receiver pin ... but that was expected. Preferred the carrier close to keep cargo weight closer to vehicle rear.
The boxes the items were shipped in were completely torn open and the hitch has paint chipped on one corner, also the carrier tray is scratched on one end

20x48 Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
Thank you for your quick response and service.
This is a sturdy carrier. Welds all seem good. Paint is just fine. Steel tubing is very strong. The weight is heavy but reasonable for one person to install and remove. I plan to remove it when not in use on our trip to avoid having to fold it up and lose ability to access the hatch on our van. It has a bit of play in both the receiver and on the folding hinge. I’m going to use construction shims taped in place to reduce the wiggle but even without those, it’s not bad. Even with a jumbo cooler, we can still see the plate. This will do the trick for vacation and camping gear without having to haul a massive 60” carrier. Love the size and build.

Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches - 10 cu ft - 100 lbs
We use this for extra storage in our class B campervan. I'm able to store all the bulky items that don't fit inside the van like chairs, mats, and our grill. I like that it doesn't block the license plate or taillights and still allows access to the Thule bike rack. The SwingBase allows both doors to open for full access into the rear of the van.
I like this box. Once installed (Subaru Outback) works as advertised. The swing arm is heavy. I might put some reflective tape on to make it more visible at night. The plastic "screw in" clamps against an improperly seated carrier groove might cause problems in the future. I've had it on and off several times and you really have to make sure the channels on the bottom of the carrier lineup with the receiver on the Exo arm. My install is batting 50/50 on install on first try.

Darby Extend-A-Truck Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
Today on our 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 we're doing a test fit of the Darby Extend-A Truck hitch mounted load extender. That part number is DTA944. We already have it in our hitch and at one of our positions. We'll first go over this and then we'll show you the second position. What's great about this position is that it is even with your cab of your truck so if you wanted to carry anything, maybe on some cross bars or even on your cab you could line it up with the top of our Extend-A Truck and lay anything across that. Maybe you have some PVC pipe or a kayak or any type of lumber that's longer that you could just set up there. We also have different mounting points for different levels. If you did have cross bars up there and they we're a little higher we could shift this up just a bit to fit with that.

What our customers are saying:
"You guys are great! My last order of a Rolla hitch carrier and sealed Highlander carrier bag worked out fantastic for the back of our new Jeep Rubicon. They got a work out for 3, 800 miles in ten days, through rain, countless mountain passes, and even snow showers, yet everything stayed dry and tight through out. You folks got it to us in time, and we couldn't have been more pleased with the order and products. The best quality goods and great service. Thanks again"
