Question:
I just ordered your 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2inch Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs for use on my 2009 Acura MDX. I intend to load it with some combination of coolers, boxes, and duffel bags - possibly two bags high. What tie down straps would you recommend? Im thinking something ratcheting so that its easy to cinch down tight, and easy to release. But Ive never used tie down straps before. Thanks,

Expert Reply:
For the etrailer Cargo Carrier part # e98874 that you referenced you have a couple options.
You can use a stretchable cargo net like the part # H9500100 and/or you can use a ratchet type strap like the # EM34415. I attached a review video for you to check out that shows how ratchet straps are typically used. For the ultimate in cargo control I would recommend using both, but just the straps would work fine as well for larger items.
