Haul your extra gear with this hitch-mounted cargo carrier. Powder coated to resist rust, this steel carrier has a mesh floor for easy cleaning and pre-drilled holes in the sidewalls so you can secure your gear.A good size and very strong. I like the fact that it has a grated bottom, as opposed to a few bars like many of its competitors. There are many holes and notches present for any customization desired. Also makes for a great chair to relax. I also ordered the anti-rattle pin so as to fasten this tightly to the hitch. IMO that should be included with any of these trailer-hitch-Mount accessories.
This is a nice, versatile carrier; however, we did take it to a welder to strengthen the expanded metal platform a bit based on how we thought we would be using it. We also added reflective tape, and added bicycle mounts for 2 bikes (Thule Low Rider Bike Mounts). We've used it to carry wood, camping equipment, and our foldable kayak + accessories cross-country, to take our bikes out for bike rides in areas away from the house. So, for the price, it's a decent carrier; with a few modifications, we are pretty happy with it overall.
Just put it together and attached the maxxhaul bag to show the wife. After reading the reviews I chose this set up for our cross country move because it won't block my Wrangler tail lights. Seems like a great addition so far. Will update once it's tested
Decided to have a front end hitch receiver mounted on my pick up to carry two bikes while towing my camper. Didn't want my bikes/cargo tray taking a beating at the rear of a 24' camper.
Went together easily. Used Stromberg's bike adapter kit and had no trouble with this new set up. With camper the bikes go up front, regular use I would just move to rear of truck. No issues with bikes secured up front. Needed this wider tray so the bike closer to the truck did not have the foot pedal touching the truck's front grill.
The flat metal strip was welded to the expanded metal of the platform at a slight angle. Therefore a bolt could not be inserted in the 3rd hole when attaching the receiver bar. Please see the attached picture. I had to cut a larger notch in the metal strip in order to attached this bolt.
I put this on my Yamaha Viking quad to haul garbage cans down our 250', 35 percent grade driveway. This was very easy to assemble, only 15 bolts, and works as intended. Purchasing from etrailer was easy, the order was filled promptly and I received it within 5 days of ordering.
Approximately a year ago I ordered a receiver and luggage rack for my GMC Acadia. We have used them on two trips, and they have worked great. Installation wasn't difficult. I would highly recommend this product.
My primary reason for purchasing the CC-100 was to help volunteers haul hay at a local non-profit horse sanctuary. We deliver hay bales year-round by pulling wagons or sleds by hand, and we have one large pasture that is not close to the barn. For volunteers who have a trailer hitch on their vehicle, the CC-100 makes it much easier to deliver multiple hay bales to that pasture in one trip. The CC-100 is rugged, and has been used many times to haul a snowblower to the barn. This carrier definitely lightens the workload for us, especially in the winter months. Very happy with the quality. Highly recommend.
Received everything in a timely manner - 2 days. My order included the cargo carrier, a cargo bag, and a Curt anti-rattle kit.
Just a note for newbies like me. The shank is the part of the accessory that is inserted into the receiver (the part that is attached to the vehicle). The Curt anti-rattle kit does not fit properly with this cargo carrier. The instructions for the anti-rattle kit indicates that it will fit in the shank of all Curt products... I have a Curt receiver... I rigged the anti-rattle kit to work with this cargo carrier but it's a bit of a pain.
The cargo carrier box appeared to have been opened previously. The box was torn open already. I found the instructions and determined that all the parts were there so no harm no foul.
Easy-to-follow assembly instructions but having a friend to help would have sped things up a lot. Easily attaches to the receiver and bingo. All done.
Light weight. I can carry it and mount it to the vehicle by myself with ease.
I will be buying some reflective tape to put along the back of it. I want it to be more visible to anyone following - especially in the dark.
Great carrier for the price. It went together well. I was missing one nyloc nut but I had another one around the house so no biggie.
Installed onto the hitch receiver, it's a bit more wobbly than I'd have hoped, but works just fine for what I need.
PROS: Always-great service from etrailer. Low cost unit. Seems sturdy enough for its purpose. Assembles with basic hand tools. Has many strategic holes for tarp ties and ratchet straps. CONS: Hardware bag had been opened when I received my unit and a nylon locknut was missing. The thin finish damages easily. Two-piece, bolt-together basket is subject to minor diagonal warping. Mesh base seems to have minimum possible welds to frame. SUMMARY: Cheap-n-cheerful solution for occasional or destructive use. For routine carry, I would step up to a sturdier unit and also purchase a stabilizing kit for the hitch.
Good product. Holding up after 1 year. I use it on back of a Jeep, heaviest load so far is two 5gal gas cans. The anti-rattle tightener is recommended if using this carrier.
Delivery was on time. It is rather cheap compared to prior cargo carriers I have used. Holes do not line up well, one of them in the middle actually had hole blocked by grate. Instructions are really poor, especially the last step to connect the bottom. After putting it together it looks as though the floor of the cage is warped to one side, meaning one side is higher than the other side. I'm baffled how that could even occur unless the cage was shipped warped. I am betting on it flattening over time; otherwise, it will end up in the trash.
Product works great on JL Wrangler. I cant screw in a lightbulb without help. But, this install was easy! Delivery and service A+!
Good item for the money
Looks to be exactly what I was looking for
Went together great. Seems real sturdy. As with most receivers there is some play so I’ll get an anti rattle pin just to tighten it all up.
The service, the ease of site navigation, and speed of shipping was amazing!
I have not had a chance to use it yet but it seems like it will do a decent job at what it’s designed for. The reason for the three stars is simply for the assembly process. The two brackets you put on first aren’t actually square so there is only one way to put them on. The directions do not specify this or give detailed enough pictures about this and many other parts to the assembly process. It sounds way more simple than it actually was. What should have taken about 5 minutes to assemble took me about 30. I suggest to just not try and look at the instructions and just assemble it yourself.
Doesn’t fit in a 2 inch hitch well at all , tons of slopp, going to have to shim it to get it to fit properly.
If you are looking for a utilitarian hitch carrier this is it. It has a few things I thought could have been done better(like where the cuts in the mesh floor are for the through bolts), but as far as sturdiness it's a lot better than the run of the mill cheap ones. If you can put something together with pictures, there is nothing to assembly, but the directions themselves are lacking. Overall I am well pleased as I stood on it and jumped up and down with no damage. It will be great for hauling game out of the woods, or firewood, or whatever. I'm bolting a 36X20 aluminum box on it for camping and just leave it as is for deer. I would buy it again. Oh and don't go looking for the plastic end cap in the directions. They already inserted it. Ask me how I know.
Fairly straightforward installation and seems very strong (by just standing/jumping on it while in the hitch). I have yet to use it but don't plan on any issues just based on the materials of construction. All nylon locking washers. A few nicks in the paint from shipping which might cause rust if you use it in the rain, maybe sand/paint to cover any exposed metal.
Product was just as described. I was buying this as a replacement for one I previously had. My wife was rear ended with the hitch haul and the back and it was demolished, probably saved a few lives in the process. I get lots of use out of this item. I love loading up gas cans on the back for lawn equipment and keeping the containers out of my vehicle. With the travel bag I ordered with it, there seems to be an endless amount of stuff I can place on the rack and leave more room for my kids in our vehicle.
Great product, this is my second one. I use it for hauling deer during archery season and it fits them well. Unfortunately this package arrived open and the bag holding all the nuts and bolts was open and all the hardware was rolling around loose in the box. Maybe I ended up with a package that someone else returned? I haven't put it together yet, but hoping everything I need is still there.
