Safety First!
Note that capacity stated is distributed weight capacity. Always secure your loads with straps prior to moving your vehicle. Please read and understand product manual prior to using product. Cargo Carrier must be completely out of vehicle's exhaust path to prevent the possibility of contents catching on fire. In some cases, depending on the location of the vehicle's exhaust path, it may be necessary to install to the vehicle's receiver hitch a HITCH RISER (not included). This hitch riser will raise the level of the Cargo Carrier so that the contents are at a higher level safely out of the way of the vehicle's exhaust path.

- Reviewed in Canada on October 2, 2024Style: 70422- Non-Folding ALuminum Cargo CarrierPattern Name: Hitch MountVerified PurchaseMy mover fit in 21" and light ..not heavy
- Reviewed in Canada on November 22, 2020Style: 70422- Non-Folding ALuminum Cargo CarrierPattern Name: Hitch MountVerified PurchasePurchased this carrier to be able to take multiple large gasoline canisters to pump for fill up without having to put them into the car. Carrier has excellent carrying capacity and strength to do the job. Since the sides have minimal elevation, everything needs to be securely strapped on, so it would have been nice to have more eyelets to secure bungee cords. We drilled holes into the peripheral frame to allow for adequate strapping. Very good product at a reasonable cost.

- Reviewed in Canada on January 5, 2019Style: 70422- Non-Folding ALuminum Cargo CarrierPattern Name: Hitch MountVerified PurchaseAfter using this rack for a year and half, it's easy to say it was worth the money. I remove the cargo carrier whenever I don't need it, so having something lightweight is essential. The center bar is steel, and the platform is aluminum. I mainly use this for camping gear and firewood. I've also used it to mount an old Thule Quest cargo bag filled with gear, and it straps to the bars of the basket perfectly.
My favourite part of the basket is its low profile. This is essential for my Jeep Wrangler, since it allows the rear gate (and 32" spare) to open completely when the basket is unloaded. I also use a hitch tightener and a hitch pin lock after inserting it into the hitch.
I do think there are a couple of things that could make this product better:
1) more mounting holes or eyelets for attaching ropes/bungee cords
2) use metal instead of plastic for the corner pieces
I'm nitpicking though; it really is a great product for the price.

- Reviewed in Canada on July 9, 2022Style: 70422- Non-Folding ALuminum Cargo CarrierPattern Name: Hitch MountVerified PurchaseGreat size for almost any load. I carried about 350 LB. behind my RV without issue. super strong and well made. perfect fit for a 2" receiver. (Those that think duct tape is required, are wrong. There has to be a space tolerance built in to compensate for metals expanding and contracting.) Tie down holes are well spaced. I can not offer any suggestions for improvement. Highly recommended!

- Reviewed in Canada on February 19, 2023Style: 70422- Non-Folding ALuminum Cargo CarrierPattern Name: Hitch MountVerified PurchaseThis item is pretty easy to put together, but the instructions are lacking (if you are the type of person who needs them). I saw some reviewers say that the aluminum section is already put together and only needing to attach the steel brace, but mine was completely disassembled.
My main issue with the instructions is that it doesn't say which tools are needed, so you need to figure it out on your own. In case anyone ever reads this, you'll need the following tools:
13mm wrench
14mm wrench
8mm socket
10mm socket
Socket driver
Phillips #2 screw driver
3/32" Allen key
1/8" Allen key
Note, the screws are a soft metal and the tolerance isn't consistent, there is risk of stripping them with the screw driver or Allen keys. Take caution.
I expect it to work just fine, but I'll update if I find otherwise when I get around to using it.
