Question:

Hi I recently got a 2 inch hitch installed locally on my 2011 Toyota Sienna. Im wanting a small cargo basket mainly to transfer trash bins of yard waste mostly walnuts and sticks to our local compost/brush site. My first question would be on whether the Carpod is the best solution for this? My second question is that the hitch sits pretty low to the ground so would recommend the model that raises up the basket? M2205. My third question is does the carpod come with what I would need to secure it to the hitch? Thanks

Expert Reply:

The Carpod # M2205 would be a good choice for you, primarily due to the fact that it offers a 5-1/2 inch rise which is perfect for a vehicle with low ground clearance like your 2011 Toyota Sienna. The carrier would work well for yard waste hauling. If I were to use it for this purpose, I'd use a couple of large storage totes to contain the small debris, as the sidewalls wouldn't contain smaller sticks. The hitch pin like # PC3 or locking hitch pin like # e98882 are sold separately.
