Question:

I know this is a bumper mounted enclosed cargo carrier. Can I use a bumper hitch mount that swings to the left or right mount this cargo carrier?

Expert Reply:

Hey Iran, welcome back! The 24x60 etrailer Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # e54VV can be used with a swing away adapter. The larger # e94VV is designed to mount on a bumper, not a hitch, so there would be no way to attach it to a swing away. The 24x60 carrier also has an optional cover # e43RV to help protect your gear from the elements.

Keep in mind, the use of an adapter will cut the capacity of your hitch in half. You will either be limited by the reduced capacity of your hitch or the adapter itself. The highest capacity swing-away adapter is the Kuat Pivot XD # KU37KR with a max load of 350 lbs. On the lower end, something like the Saris # SAR36VR has a capacity of 250 lbs. The carrier itself with weighs 106 lbs so you have to account for that to see if the adapter will work for your needs.
