Features to know about

Effortless Hauling of Large Items: Extra-Wide Platform

Transporting oversized items like scooters, lawnmowers, or snowblowers can be a hassle, but not with this cargo carrier. The 32" x 48" platform is designed to accommodate large and unwieldy loads, giving you the space you need to haul bulky equipment. It's perfect for those who need the extra room on road trips, making it a practical choice for outdoor enthusiasts and weekend warriors alike.

Enhanced Safety and Stability: Angled Shank for Better Ground Clearance

Say goodbye to worries about scraping the ground on bumpy roads. The cleverly designed angled shank elevates the platform, providing better ground clearance and making loading and unloading much smoother. This is especially useful on uneven terrain or when dealing with extra-long or heavy loads.

Ultimate Durability and Longevity: Rugged Steel Construction with Corrosion-Resistant Finish

Whether you’re dealing with rain, snow, or mud, this carrier is built to withstand the elements. Crafted from rugged steel and coated with a corrosion-resistant black powder finish, it holds a weight capacity of up to 400 lbs and promises long-lasting durability. Take any road with confidence, knowing that this carrier can handle whatever nature throws your way.

Convenient and Secure Loading: Integrated Tie-Down Points

For those who often travel with gear, integrated tie-down points add an extra layer of security by allowing you to secure your load effectively. It's an essential feature for ensuring that your cargo stays put, even on the roughest routes.

Versatile and Flexible Use: Pre-Drilled License Plate Relocation and Lighting Options

Sometimes your cargo may block the vehicle's tail lights or license plate, but with pre-drilled holes for license plate relocation and optional light kit compatibility, this carrier offers a flexible solution to these common issues. Keep your load legal and visible at all times without any additional fuss.

Effortless Clean-Up: Easy-to-Clean Mesh Bottom

Post-adventure cleanup doesn't have to be a chore. The mesh bottom design makes the carrier easy to clean, allowing debris to fall through and making rinsing off dirt or mud a breeze. It's the ideal feature for those unexpected messy trips, ensuring you spend more time on the road and less time tidying up.

Assembly took all of 5 minutes and the rack works great!

Hey this platform is sick!! Honda snowblower on it with LED lights!!

Well buil and-just what I needed. Great service and prompt delivery.
Thanks ETrailer !



by:

Had a hard time getting the pin in, through the hitch, by myself.
Shipping time was great. Putting it together was easy.



by:

Excellent serviceI ordered the Pro Series because of the extra wide dimension. The customer service was awesome. I received an email informing me that the order was received, another one that the order had shipped, and another email informing me that the product was delivered. Very easy to put together, no more that 5 minutes. Very sturdy product at a very good price.



by:

Great cargo basket. Easy to assemble and install on vehicle. etrailer service was excellent. Would definitely recommend the product and etrailer to a friend.



by:

The 2" SHANK is too large. Unfortunately I used a hammer to install the SHANK onto a standard 2" receiver. I was very disappointed in this item. Don't buy it. It might have fit, if they didn't paint it or had the fabricated bends in the SHANK that goes into the 2" receiver. Time for QC. Hope I can get it off my vehicle. Don't take it out on Etrailer...they try to do the right thing regarding customer service.

Is this an isolated case or have additional complaints been received?

As far as we know, it was an isolated event. This review was from July of 2012 and we have seen a number of reviews since then without mention of this issue. In all likelidhood, this is a case of tolerance stack. The hitch opening is on the smallest end of the acceptable tolerances and the shank is on the largest end. Or if the paint is on the thick side, it could be enough to cause difficulty.


by:

I purchased this product to transport my fish house. It works great! Customer service was excellent with speedy shipping. I highly recommend this product and etrailer.com



by:

Hitch works well to transport Lectric trike on back of Class C motorhome. Added magnetic hauling lights plugged into trailer towing plug to corners for additional safety.



by:

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.

This has been one of the most useful upgrades Ive done. Very happy with the quality and strength.



by:

Looks good -simple instructions-
Definitely pleased -thanks again



by:

The carrier worked great on the backof my wife's SUV. She carried an electric recumbant trike and it fit well. Had to let some air out of the two front wheels to fit inside the lip, but traveled well across the country.It is heavy, which of course is good and bad, and makes it difficult to place in receiver by yourself.



by:

I only gave an average rating because the carrier was not easy to assemble without slight modification. The bolt holes for assembly were blocked by the steel mesh. I cut the mesh that covered several of the holes with a rotary disc cutter.

I will share this information with the manufacturer as this is an unusual case.



by:

Does what I expected.2010 FJ Cruiser. Assemble was very easy. The problem with past posts of getting the bolts to pass thru the wire mesh has been fixed as well as the reflective tape. Great job on delivery. I will use this cargo carrier for travel and when out surf fishing. The wagon I have will just fit on this carrier and make getting to the beach and back a cleaner experience.



by:

Perfect for my needs!!



by:

I received the package in a pretty rough exterior condition but everything was fine inside.

The previous comments about having to cut away the expanded metal flooring in order to install the carriage bolts wasn't true in my case. Apparently, this quality control issue has been addressed by the manufacturer.

Assembly went well and wasn't complicated. A different carriage bolt with a longer square shoulder should be used. The shoulder doesn't grip too well to the square cutout in the frame and even while pressing firmly on the head of the bolt, it wanted to turn as I was tightening the nut.

All in all, it seems to be a solid product and I look forward to using it.

by:

I wish the load capacity was a bit higher, but overall I am satisfied with the cargo carrier. It is perfect for lugging my two dog crates behind my vehicle instead of inside the vehicle. Thank you for offering a dimensionally larger cargo carrier than most retailers.



by:

After some searching this was the answer to our need. I did some modifications to accommodate our 2 folding tadpole trikes and the total weight of the trikes and rack is still more than 50 lb's below the listed capacity. We have driven in 4 states with no problem.



by:

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.



by:

Works perfect



by:

Love it! I use it on my 2016 Nissan Frontier. Allows me to fit one more washer or dryer for my laundry business!

  • Is it Better to Use a Hitch Cargo Carrier or Roof Cargo Carrier for a 2015 Honda Odyssey
    You are correct that there are definite advantages of hitch cargo carriers over roof cargo carriers. You will have less drag improving your gas mileage and you won't have to reach up to the roof of your vehicle each time you load or unload. The biggest upsides you will find from the roof cargo carriers is accessing the cargo and of course the cost difference for the amount of cargo you can carry. A good hitch cargo carrier is the GearDeck 17 Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Slide...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier for 2015 Lincoln MKZ
    For your 2015 Lincoln MKZ, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24897. Unlike the Curt model that is also confirmed to fit your vehicle, the installation of this hitch will allow you to trim and reinstall the underbody panel/fascia for accommodation with the hitch receiver and crosstube. On the Curt model, this panel is completely removed and cannot be reinstalled. This Class I hitch will use existing holes in your Lincoln's frame for a no-drill installation....

  • Can Reese Solo Cargo Carrier # PS1040100 Be Used at Rear of 5th Wheel Trailer
    Hey Richard, so the Reese cargo carrier part # PS1040100 would be a great option at the rear of a fifth wheel trailer. Unlike bike racks cargo carriers don't have the explicit "can or cannot be used at rear of trailer" rating but what we have found when we have called them is that they strongly recommend using the ones that are not folding like this Reese carrier so it would work well for you.

  • Which Front Hitch and Suspension Enhancement for 2012 Coachman Freelander RV with E-350 Chassis
    It looks like the 2012 Coachman Freelander RV was built on an E350 chassis, so you'll want to use the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 65053, which is designed to fit on the front of the E-350 RV chassis. This is a custom fit hitch designed specifically for this vehicle that has a 500-lbs vertical load limit, so you'll want to be sure that your scooter and carrier stay under that weight combined. If you need a carrier for the scooter as well, the 32x48 Reese...

  • Hitch Cargo Carrier Recommendation for Carrying 24x48 Dog Pens
    Hey Brian, Since you're needing 48 x 24 space for the pens, I recommend going with the Reese Solo Cargo Carrier # PS1040100 as opposed to the Inno Quick Base # IN92RR you were looking at. The Reese carrier has a tray measuring 32x48 so it will be able to handle the dimensions of the pens perfectly, plus it has multiple holes in the sides you can use to secure straps to.

  • Can the Shank of Pro Series Cargo Carrier PS1040100 be Flipped to Lower the Platform
    I checked with the manufacturer and they told me that the hitch shank on the Pro Series Solo Cargo Carrier # PS1040100, can be flipped either way to help with clearance when opening the cargo area door on your vehicle. So what you can do is flip the shank in the orientation that lowers the platform of the carrier a few inches as opposed to in the up position which would raise it.

  • What Cargo Carrier and Light Kit do You Recommend with Dimensions of 48 x 27?
    For a great cargo carrier that includes your required dimensions of 48x27, I recommend the 30x50 Curt Cargo Carrier w/ 48" Ramp - 2" Hitches # C18112. The Curt comes with 50-1/4" long x 30-7/8" wide x 3-3/4" tall internal dimensions. The ramp is fully collapsible so that you can fold the carrier up against the rear for storage. As far as weight capacity, the carrier has a max capacity of 500 pounds. It is important to note that the length of the shank measures 7-1/4 inches from the center...

    The floor of the 48x32 Lets Go Aero GearCage FP4 Slide-Out Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs Item # H01380 is 27 inches by 48 inches so it would hang over some but not much. Pro Series carrier # PS1040100 has useable platform dimensions of 47-3/4" long x 31-3/4" wide so it would have more than enough space for your generator. I have included a link to a video review of this carrier for you. Either of these carriers has more than enough weight capacity for your 200 pound generator.

This cargo carrier is approved to withstand the added force/torque on the back of your fifth wheel camper. We've had many neighbors who have given this carrier rave review when used on a trailer.

This has a 47-3/4" long by 31-3/4" wide inner tray and can support up to 400lbs so you could carry additional items with your 90lb generator if needed.
