Cargo Carrier for Trailer Hitch


Aug 26, 2015, 10:17 PM

Where is a good place to buy one? Lots of mixed/poor reviews online.

To me always buy in person. So you can get a feel for how high or low quality they are built. Check local hardware store or a northerntool type of place IMO.

Try Harbor freight tools for $69 and 99 bucks, aluminum, and hard metal.

I thought about that. Are they bolted or welded?


Aug 26, 2015, 10:24 PM

Stable?

getting ready to buy one myself and have been researching

Of course all things depend on your $... but if you want to go higher end... I have liked what I see from the Rola carriers (the Dart is very nice). It has many accessories to add to it. If you want to go simpler/cheaper... Northern Tool has some options. I have always liked the folding cargo carriers. Hope this helps.

I have heard that some of the cheaper carriers tend to wobble and may look crooked. also, if you like the Rola... look for them on Amazon... a lot cheaper there.

They make a hitch brace that bolts on that stops the wobble.

I'm sure you already know this, but I'm pretty sure that you need a Class III hitch to use one of those. Also, these carriers are rated for different weight limits. I know this is obvious, but just an FYI.

Anyway, Harbor Freight was always the best deal on these that I'm aware of. Unless you find one on Craigslist (and there are several on there).

I'm thinking that all of the cargo carriers work with the Reese Hitch, and the (female) is a square receiver, and the square male, slides into (female) square, and slide in the locking pin, preferably the one with the key lock, or a cheap A$$ thief will steal it. Use a couple of the ratchet tie downs and nothing will fall out of it.
