Absolutely, Matt. Cargo carriers are one of the Trailer Mate’s # TMT94FR best uses. Just keep the carrier and all your gear under 150 lbs total tongue weight. Load heavier gear toward the vehicle to reduce bounce, and if the carrier blocks your tail lights, you’ll want an auxiliary light kit plugged into a 4-way harness. Do you already have a wiring harness installed?

And to other campers, what’s the heaviest load you’ve hauled on a Crosstrek carrier without issues? What are you favorite carriers to use?
