Recommended Lightest Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier

Updated 03/28/2024 | Published 03/14/2024

Question:

Uninterested in a hitch carrier for 2022 Tesla model Y with 2 inch itch. Tongue weight is only 160 ponds so I prefer light weight aluminum.

Our lightest hitch mounted cargo carrier is the Flint Hill Goods 22" x 49" Hitch Mounted Aluminum Cargo Carrier item # FHG59ZR. It weighs only 23 lbs and measures 49-1/4" long x 22-1/4" wide x 3-1/4" tall.

We've actually tested it out on a 2022 Tesla Model Y. I went ahead and linked the video we made below so you can see exactly what this cargo carrier will look like on your car.

It looks good - do you have an aluminum hitch carrier that folds up when not in use?

@EdwardS No, sorry none of the aluminum carriers fold.

Another question. Is it able to hold a bicycle as well instead of cargo - for a trip to park? Is their a folding version? Lastly - the Tesla Hitch is recessed in - is there a "stabilizer" to avoid rattle that fits? And lock so someone doesn't steal it? Thank you.

@JohnS Yes, it is! To secure it from theft and have the anti-rattle feature you can use the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches item # 63232.
