Expert Reply:

You could use a dual hitch adapter like the Roadmaster part # RM-077-6 so that you could tow your vehicle in the lower hitch opening and then also carry in the upper hitch opening the GearDeck 17 Enclosed Cargo Carrier # H00604.

You should note that using hitch adapters does cut the tongue weight capacity of the hitch it is installed in by 50 percent so you'd need to be aware of the reduction in weight capacity.
