Question:
I need a cargo carrier that attaches to a 2" hitch. We've ran out of space inside our vehicle and I don't want to have to grab things off of the roof. What do you recommend and which is the best cargo carrier that can fold?

Welcome back Johnny! The best folding cargo carrier for a 2" hitch, is the Benton MoveHitch item # B86VR. This cargo carrier has a 500 lbs capacity, weighs only 45 lbs, and measures 24" long x 60" wide x 3" tall.
The reason the Benton MoveHitch item # B86VR is the best folding cargo carrier is because of how easy it is to fold it up and down. There's a square button that's easily accessible right in the center of the carrier that faces away from your vehicle. It's located in a convenient spot that allows you to support the weight of the carrier whether you're folding it up to store it or down to use it. An additional perk is that you can fold it down and away from your hitch and vehicle to open the rear hatch on an SUV.
The Benton MoveHitch item # B86VR cargo carrier is also available with a cargo net item # B38VR. This net is great for securing your gear and not having to worry about bungie cords or other straps.
I also recommend using the etrailer D-Shape Anti-Rattle Locking Hitch Pin for Benton Hitch Accessories item # e43JR. This locking pin will not only keep your cargo carrier from walking away it's also an anti-rattle device that matches the threads on the carrier's 2" shank. It'll keep the carrier from moving around while you're traveling.
I linked a couple of review videos below we made so you can see how easily the carrier folds up and down with or without gear on it. I also attached quite a few pictures so you can see the carriers in action.
What kind of gear do you plan on putting in the cargo carrier? You can add this information, along with any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.
