24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
This a very nice hitch rack. Well built, lots of space, long hitch tube works very well with Jeep Wrangler JL spare tire, however, you will not be able to open the swing tailgate with the rack on. Its not a big issue as it provides a good amount of clearance to the ground. If you use this carrier with one of the hitch rack cargo bags, it really adds to the cargo capacity of the rack. I have been very happy with this rack, I also like that you can add additional tail/brake lights to the rack.
I have used this twice on long distance trips. It has helped tremendously because my girlfriend always overpacks the SUV. Tip: IF the carrier is in short distance from your exhaust pipe air flow you may want to purchase a flame/ heat retardant blanket to protect your items. My first trip i had a new Igloo cooler on it and when I got to my destination 6 hours later, the wheels were melted to the trailer. Also you may want to add some reflective tape to it just for added safety. I would definitely recommend this Trailer.
Used it many times and I highly recommend it. I did learn a lesson on the first use. My exhaust heat melted a wheel on my Igloo Cooler that was positioned behind it. I ended up buying a heat retardant blanket to place under everything and now more cooler melt. I also added reflective decals around the trailer perimeter. This is a sturdy product and has already seen about 5000 miles of road. Getting the Trailer Hitch lock is important too. There is zero wiggle or noise when used.

Rola Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 54-1/2" Long x 40-1/2" Wide x 5" Deep - 130 lbs
It's been a year with my Rola and I'm still super happy with it, the cost was what I could afford at the time and it has not disappointed so far. Finish is still strong, super minor spots where I scratched the finish has rust, the front deflector is still perfect, only issue was with the cheap Rola sticker they put on the front of the deflector. It basically disintegrated after a few months. Having this extra space is very helpful if you have a waterproof bag for additional items. This was a great purchase and it fits like a glove on my 2017 Subaru Outback!
OK so I got this and had read some reviews on rusting so here's my fix. Before you assemble it spray the inside of the tubes with spray paint. Color doesn't matter unless you let it run out somewhere. Give it a good week to dry out. If it's warm where you are then two days. When you assemble the halves run a ring of silicone sealer around the inside of the tubes before sliding them together. When you install the screws put some in each hole too. Seals the whole shebang up. Now about those rubber sleeves that go over the center seam and cover the screws. Lube the inside good, and the outside of the tubes before you slide them on, then fold them back over themselves before sliding those tube sections above together. If they don't have enough lube you will invent new words your children may not have heard. The instructions are a bit vague, but it's not rocket science. Now I had no problem installing it on the roof bars I have, but getting it centered was time consuming. (Pro Tip!= Once mounted where you want it use some colored electrical tape and wrap it around your cross tubes up against the roof basket mounts. This way if you take it off you can get it right back where you had it. No don't thank me, glad to help.) Now the rack is a bit noisy on my 2021 Subie Crosstrek, but a little fiddling will bring her around. You can wrap the cross tubes and the rack bottom tube with paracord and it will cut a lot out, Plus you'll always have some paracord wherever you go. The rack mounted easily but there is no lock so I used a pistol safety lock around the cross bars which do lock to the vehicle, and around the bottom bars of the rack. Tied it up out of the way with a few zip ties, and wrapped it good in some of that colored electrical tape we discussed earlier. It really is a heavy duty rack and I have no worries it can handle limbs and such off road. etrailer is my go to supplier from now on. Need info?, they got it, Need tech help? right there waiting. A week after I bought this rack they had a price drop. I emailed them about it and presto, refund secured. Can't say enough good about these folks. If you don't have time to do this rack up like I said, maybe you should shop on, but if you take the time to do it right this is a really good, and I would say definitely off road rated rack basket. Whatever you buy, Just get the hack out there with it. You could use a little fresh air.

MaxxTow 30x50 Wheelchair Carrier w/ 48" Long Ramp - 2" Hitches - Folding - Steel - 500 lbs
I use the cargo hitch every week and often multiple days in a row for work. I used to breakdown my magliner/camera cart before and after set as well as for location moves during a shoot, but now i just ramp it up and ratchet the cart to the carrier. -I have not noticed any significant swaying or movement when it is in the down position and my 4Runner drives like nothing is there. -When in the upright position, the carrier has a tendency to lean right or left when I turn, so i just fasten it with the same ratchets that I use for securing my cart. -It weighs about 80 pounds and can be a little tricky to attach solo, but ive got a quick little system and now its no problem. I also generally leave it on. -with its frequent use, the 2" square connecting shaft has bent a few degrees, probably from some low speed road impacts when going through dips in driveways, etc, so it doesnt sit evenly off the back of my 4Runner, but thats not terrible, it just looks wonky when folded up and when in use in the down position. -It has made some loud scratching sounds when it drags on the asphalt, maybe some plastic casters would be a good idea. -I like that it clears my lights and license plate. -The anti-rattle/stabilization block doesnt cinch down on a 4Runner hitch due to no clearance and welding spots, maybe it does on other vehicles. -I have otherwise found it to be very solid, out of my view when driving, and well worth the buy. I have had a few in the past and this is the best for my application.
I was a little leery ordering a carrier for my mobility scooter on the Internet, but I couldn't be more pleased with the one I received from etrailer.com. It is very well made with very sturdy steel throughout, all welds are smooth, and there are no sharp edges that could catch clothing or cause injury. I like how I have the ability to old the carrier when I'm not using it to transport my scooter, and I discovered yesterday that when the tailgate on my pickup is open I can use a hand truck to cart heavy objects up on to the carrier making it easier to load because there isn't such a large step up to get items into the pickup bed. This is a quality product, much better than others I'd looked at at mobility stores at twice the price. And the shipping was fast and it was delivered right to my door. I highly recommend etrailer.com and this mobility scooter carrier for anyone looking for a carrier or anything else they could want relating to trailers, carriers, and accessories.

24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Purchased the hitch Cargo Carrier to haul beach vacation stuff since two Golden Retrievers were coming with us and they were taking up a lot of space inside the back of the Toyota Highlander SUV. Worked great and was simple to attach. Update, the white SUV pictured in the review was totaled in an accident in the fall of 2019 and shortly after receiving a similar replacement Highlander, I ordered a new etrailer hitch to install on the vehicle.
Got delivered by 10 a.m. the next morning. Easy to assemble. Hauls my snowblower with ease. Also with a modification it carries firewood also. Thanks!
Use it to haul firewood and my snowblower. Works great.

20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
Lost my truck recently and needed a way to take in recycling without stinking-up the SUV. Cargo carrier assembled easy and worked great on the first trash run. Flipped-up perfectly for the follow-on shopping trip.
After a year this is still a great product!!
John Rhodes - 09/10/2020This carrier was super easy to assemble. It is a bit heavy but I was able to mount it onto my hitch alone. I’m using an anti-rattle lock and they work great together.

22x59 Rola Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 600 lbs
Sturdy,large cargo area,and lots of options for securing a load. This product was a bit banged up in the packaging upon arrival and i also had too clean up some welding slag on some mating surfaces. The anti rattle hitch pin thats included works great,but is a bit of a pain to remove in a pinch because it's treaded into the carrier. Overall great durability and did not block any access to the rear of my ford flex .
etrailer was great to deal with. They kept me up to date on shipping and when the item was going to arrive. The carrier went together with very little effort, just needed a socket set and an adjustable wrench, I wrench. I specifically order this carrier for hunting, and it can handle anything I throw at it

19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Aluminum - Folding - 500 lbs
Instructions were good product is excellent. Product arrived ahead of schedule and I was able to get it assembled shortly thereafter. Check my photos. My hitch clamp would not work with the product and I need a storage box.
excellent Product Assembly was easy and it does the intended job. Its light and folds easily.
Harold - 07/04/2020Could not be better. Aluminum light and sturdy. Stores easily, carries easily. I have it on a Jeep Wrangler with a tire on the back. The hing is not long enough to let me fold the carrier up when not in use. For someone ordering for a Jeep you may want to take this into consideration. No matter the carrier is a great buy.
Great it has paid for itself over and over

MaxxTow 30x50 Wheelchair Carrier w/ 60" Long Ramp - 2" Hitches - Folding - Steel - 500 lbs
I got my carrier in rapid time. I took it out of the box, and went through the instructions for assembly. It went together with very little effert . What I like about this unit is it is made light enough to handle, yet heavy enough to do the job. I recommend that after you get it assembled that you get a little help in installing it into your hitch receiver. I did it alone and took me a little more effert then I wanted but being a rather large man I did ok. The ramp works great, it allows me to load and carry my 26 inch snow blower from my house to my other jobs I have down town without having to hook my trailer up to the truck. It is wide enough and long enough to fit this blower, which is a 2 stage, and to heavy for me to lift. I would recommend this unit to anyone who wants to be able to haul an item that is to heavy to lift into the back of your truck, yet you don't need a full blown trailer, especially in the winter time. Easy to put together, and to use, plus when you are done it folds up right next to your vehicle, which lets allows you the plus of not having to take it off when not in use.
Still doing the job, used it this mornig to haul my snow blower to the store fronts that I clean snow away from. One of the most successful investment I have ever made
Mike C - 12/14/2017overall, not a bad product. could be better in its fit and finish. The ramp is a little heavy and awkward if your disabled, and the pin chains do break as has been mentioned. I replaced the pins with better ones from a hardware store. This is best used with an suv or pickup as it has some weight. Our Nissan Quest was NOT up to the task of putting a 250-300 lb scooter on it. The aforementioned vehicles with a proper hitch (preferably PU/SUV with class4, 2inch hitch) would do best and loading items that do not have leading and trainling wheels/arms like my wifes electric scooter. a small 4 wheel electric chair perhaps, mowers, tiller, small 4-wheeler would be great choices. It needs a bit of height off the ground so it does not scrap. (ours did constantly because of a very soft suspension). The locking arm(s) are a little awkward, but servicable. The ramp has the lip from the frame to 'jump' over, so a small ramp like a door sill to make a smooth transition would be welcome for small wheeled items, large 10-12 inch wheels should have no problem with angles or the blunt frame edge of the ramp. Overall a good value depending on what you are hauling, and with what you are hauling it with. For the money, its a good size with long ramp. I would NOT recommend using it with an HD jazzy scooter with trailing arms and center drive wheels. If you have a machine that is just front and rear wheel setup, you should be ok. I stress this because of personal experience. This was replaced by a Bruno chariot lift because, (1) it got hit by a bad driver and bent out of usable condition, (2) our vehicle required a different setup to carry our heavy item. With care and attention to detail, a person should be able to get years of service. Has lots of holes and frame work with to tie onto or use straps. I am including a frame picture of scooter to know what to avoid...

Thule Transporter Combi Hitch Mounted Enclosed Cargo Carrier - Tilting
While it’s too early for a full review as I haven’t had the box on the road yet I can say that the ordering and shipping went very well. Assembly went well but I needed to do a bit of “creative thinking” along the way as the directions were a wee bit vague. But no big deal. I had the thing together in about a half hour. All the wiring was perfect. The plate holder installed easily. For those with the Toyota Highlander, the box tilt feature is not needed as the rear hatch clears without using it with inches to spare. All in all it looks like it will perform as expected.
Ive only used the carrier once. It was on a long trip over close to 1000 miles. The box was completely full and loaded to its max weight. It was hitched to a Toyota Highlander. Weather was mixed with clear, rain and snow. The box handled extremely well and was barely noticeable. The running, signal and break lights worked perfectly. Upon arrival all contents were dry. We carry our pet dog in the back of the SUV so access to the back hatch was required. It was nice that the box is located far enough back to allow the back hatch door to swing up without hitting the box. Great product.
Doug McLennan - 03/11/2021We ordered the Thule cargo carrier one year ago. It is fairly lightweight, but sturdy enough to transport items we need on trips. We also have a soft carrier that we have used that goes on the top of our vehicle. The advantages of the Thule carrier is that it does hold almost as much as the roof carrier, but does not cause wind resistance while we are driving. It is much easier to load & secure with a locking key. We are absolutely thrilled with the purchase of this product!

Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box - 21 cu ft - Black Carbonite
The Yakima Skybox 21 is a well thought out product. It seems like everything was designed by a clever end user. The cam locking systems that attach it to the rack are genius. There was no pesky aligning with plates or fumbling with special tools. A very straightforward locking mechanism with thumb screws. Also the latches operate smoothly and you can't lock the key in the box because it won't come out when it is open. A feature that I will find handy. With six people in my family this is going to give us the extra space for cross country skis and a few bags so I can see out the back window.
After a year I still like this product. Its been with us on three Nordic skiing trips, and three camping trips. I did not notice any decrease in gas mileage, it does not affect the cars handling Kia Sedona, and I can get it on my car in less than a minute with my 12 year olds help. If you have a garage, make sure you put your garage door opener IN THE SKYBOX. You may forget what is on top of your vehicle and then you will need another Skybox. I have not done this but I know people who have wrecked a lot of stuff.
Todd - 02/17/2021I absolutely love this skybox. I put a roof rack (just the two rails that go across the short width of the roof) on my Honda Pilot, and this box fits perfectly. The key cannot be removed unless the box is securely fastened, a nice safety feature. Only once was it an inconvenience because of low clearance in a parking garage. It has enough space for all the tent camping gear for a family of 5, and we use it for skis, snowboards, and snowshoes during the winter. I never take it off because we are using it all the time! Additionally, it protected my roof during the last horrible hail storm we had in Colorado. One of the Yakima stickers had melted off during transit, and a second one fell off shortly afterwards (I couldn't have cared less about the stickers, but just in case someone does).

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 66-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs
Highly recommended! Sturdy construction and rugged appearance. Easy to assemble in very little time. I love how it looks and most of all the function ability.
Item is still superb! I have hauled plywood, mattresses, and basically anything I needed to. I highly Recommend.
Allen Lyons - 01/11/2021Using 3rd row seats in the SUV really cuts cargo space so having this has worked out great on a number of trips. It causes a little wind noise so I don't always have it installed. It's quick and easy to install/remove. I have a waterproof rooftop bag that fits in it nicely. Note that I did cut down the mounting bolts so they wouldn't stick up into my cargo. If you have thicker crossbars, it may not be an issue but I have low profile crossbars. Without the extension, the basket would honestly be a lot less useful to me. With the extension piece, it is awesome. Camping gear, boxes of stuff from Ikea, hunting/fishing gear.

24x60 Surco Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
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.
This cargo basket came recommended by the tech support guys at Etrailer. The construction is excellent and it fit perfect on our 2007 MDX.
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.

Rola Swinging Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Trailer Hitch
Love the swing-away feature but locks are low quality and under sized. Two were broken upon first delivery but Customer Service responded with delivery of new tray/bumper pack (cargo box) within 2 days. Yet to to road test but assembly was straight forward and completed in a couple hours. And I have a plan for locking improvements that will be easy to incorporate.
Received my Rola today and just finished installing and put on my 2019 Tahoe Premier Plus. See Pictures. I also purchased the license plate light and installed as well. Everything was easy to install, just be sure to follow instructions. All my lights including the license plate light is working perfectly. All other accessories, worked great. Adapter of 7 way to 4 way for electrical and the locking hitch. Took it for a test drive and rides great. Wouldn't even know it was back there. In fact, in my Tahoe I can't see it in any of my mirrors. I will know more after I drive with it 1100 minutes to San Diego. Recommendations to Rola 1. Put some real hinges and locks on this thing. These things look small, cheap and like they will break easy. Something I would see on a kids toy. 2. How about more than 6 Zip ties to run electrical. I know, easy for me to get, but a trip to the hardware store is much harder than you putting a few more inexpensive zip ties to be included. Still giving this a 5 star!

17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
Purchased this rack for extra storage on our family's annual trip to the Outer Banks, NC. About a 600 mile trip, one way. Assembly was straightforward and went fairly smoothly. First time doing anything like this, so I took my time and spent about an hour (maybe a little more) working on it. Included instructions were clear and easy to follow. Assembled rack was really sturdy and seemed quite strong. Our Honda CR-V has a 1.25" hitch, so I did not need the included adapter. At each overnight stop I double-checked all nuts and bolts for tightness. A couple needed tweaking, but nothing major. So we loaded the cargo carrier with two large Rubbermaid bins (side by side) and three folding sand chairs on top, two folding camp chairs along the front and a kite tote bag. (Included photo shows a test fit, not actual trip packing) I used two ratchet straps and a couple of bungee cords to secure everything down. This really freed up storage inside the two cars we take on the trip. Honestly noticed no difference in the handling of the car or gas mileage. I did add some additional auto reflective tape on the front and side "railings" of the carrier. I felt these made the rack a bit more visible on the interstate. No items on the carrier shifted at any point of our trip. Overall, I am pleased with this carrier. Very positive experience with it from start to finish. I would definitely buy it again and would look at other Curt products in the future. Great product at a good price.
When I got home I was grateful that the carrier was delivered. I began to open the box and put the unit together (great instructions) I then put the carrier on the bach of my 5th wheel RV and now my generator has a place to ride outside so we will not have to smell gasoline anymore. I would recommend this unit for another reason that being it does not cover tail light etc. It is shorter than a lot of units that I have seen . Thanks also to the services of the company etrailer as they made me feel as if I were their only customer.

MaxxTow 27x47 Cargo Carrier w/ Pivoting Ramp - 2" Hitches - Extruded Aluminum - 500 lbs
I purchased this unit in the fall of 2013. I have found it very handy, especially to transport my 10hp, 28" wide snow blower several times, which was my primary intent. I had the same issues with packaging that others have, particularly the trailer hitch poking through the carton. The corners were susceptible to damage also, while I found a few blemishes, a couple of small dings, nothing worth making an issue out of. Anyone with some mechanical inclination can work around these little things. After assembly you can see how it fits the snow blower. The intake is up on the left side rail and the handles fit through the openings in the ramp perfectly. Overall I would recommend it, 4 out of 5 stars. Good value.
Nicely made unit although it could benefit from: 1) stronger top rail supports; 2) better 2" receiver tube fit (too loose); 3) improved ramp fasteners (for flexible ease of use); 4) inside free dimension of top rail expanded out to match inside free dimension of bottom tray (inches matter); and 5) better packaging for shipment. While listed as an "aluminum" carrier the unit has a steel, core backbone (draw bar & mounting plate for aluminum deck). This steel component gives a sturdy base and contributes to a large percentage of the weight. Unit was received with dented/bent top rail (but not enough to warrant return) due to failed component restraints (nylon cable ties) that allowed the heavy steel base component to shift in packaging and dent.bend top rail. Hitch "draw bar" is loose in 2" receiver and results in excessive rocking of the deck. Much improved with an anti-rattle or silent hitch pin that draws it close to one side of the tube. Since unit mounts with a rear edge at about 3 ft, from bumper I've over- engineered some modifications to include additional conspicuity reflectors and 1" LED trailer lights to try & keep tailgaters at bay and augment tow vehicle taillights. Also added non-slip material to the aluminum ramp treads. It's a "BMW" carrier now. Regardless of the shortcomings, this is a nice product that will serve well, when the work simply doesn't justify hauling around a trailer.

23x59 Stromberg Carlson Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
A good size and very strong. I like the fact that it has a grated bottom, as opposed to a few bars like many of its competitors. There are many holes and notches present for any customization desired. Also makes for a great chair to relax. I also ordered the anti-rattle pin so as to fasten this tightly to the hitch. IMO that should be included with any of these trailer-hitch-Mount accessories.
Works great I use it mainly to carry sod
Thomas A - 02/22/2021Product works great on JL Wrangler. I cant screw in a lightbulb without help. But, this install was easy! Delivery and service A+!
Used it a gazillion times. Fantastic!

Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte Black
Fits like a glove on a 2010 CRV. Took minutes to install and on the road.
Purchased for our 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee and after multiple uses we have no regrets. The price was good; the Thule Cargo box is surprisingly light, I was able to lift it over my head onto our Jeep fairly easy. The box does only open on one side and given the height of our Jeep, that was an issue when we mounted the box center line on the Jeep. We've since started mounting the cargo box on the right side, so using a step I can easily reach any cargo inside. The two straps for securing cargo are useless and we ditched them for Bihlwerflex bungee straps. Much easier to install and use. The clamps that secure the cargo box to the rails are great, makes the mount/secure process a breeze. I do a walk around and check everything whenever we stop and the clamps have always been secure.

20x47 MaxxTow Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Aluminum - 500 lbs
Pretty solid unit, lots of nuts and bolts. Instructions could use a bit of help. Make sure everything is oriented correctly before assembling. I also installed the brackets inside the unit instead of outside.I used stainless hardware everywhere I could. That's just me. The light kit, Rola LED Light Kit for Railed Cargo Carriers - 59516 along with the Trailer Light Mounting Bracket for 6-1/2" Oval Trailer Lights, Steel - Black Powder Coat - BK70BB is a nice add-on. It took some retooling of the upper rear cross-member to properly fit brackets and lights to my liking. No cob-jobbing here. removed the top rear cross-member, removed parts of the flange, the brackets and light kit bolted right up level and tight. Had to move a couple of brackets also, no big deal. Don't know if a flat bracket is available, that would be ideal. All in all I am very satisfied. Dealing with etrailer always cake. Check out the pictures.
Used it quite a few times. I use a hitch tightener to eliminate rattles. Received several compliments on the light kit. All in all it has performed admirably. No issues with exhaust heat either. Get one.
Mark - 12/10/2019I was able to assemble the carrier, without issue last night. This morning, I mounted it on the CRV and took it on a ride... I was concerned about an heat issue from the car exhaust. I drove about 5-8 miles and did not notice any warm on the carrier. I stopped at my car service shop, he noticed that the exhaust was being directed downward, not at the carrier

32x48 Reese Solo Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 400 lbs
Product is exactly as expected, very good quality, easy to assemble and serves the purpose I bought it for. I simply used a device to prevent rattling and it works great. I can also still open the trunk on a Atlas with some cargo on it which makes things very convenient. I would recommend w/o any hesitation.
Perfect carrier very easy to assemble I’m using it to haul a lawn mower it also fits my Exmark commercial 30 I have a small lawn mowing business and this is much easier than messing with my trailer all the time.
It’s still going strong no problems at all I use it 3 days a week all summer long would definitely buy again

52x18 MaxxTow Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
If you are working 24/7 on shipping, it took a long time to get my order into the shipping system and on it's way. Good product, well worth waiting for. Already assembled and working. A busy company is a good one. Thanks, John
Works great to attach a cargo carrier to my Outback, installed by myself in a long afternoon.
"Hitch arrived so fast is was still smokin' from the welds! I put it on that evening, (fri) and picked out and picked up my brand new cargo hauler on Sat! thanks for everything!"
Update, Still supper happy with the carrier. It did great during hunting season hauling heavy loads. One word of caution specifically for Jeep Wrangler owners. If you run a larger tire than stock ie-35x12.50x17, like I do, the racks tubing is not long enough to make it into the hole for the hitch pin to line up. You will either need a hitch extension or another hole drilled in the tube most likely NOT recommended by the manufacturer. Still keeping the 5 star rating.
