Crammed trunks and cluttered truck beds limit your cargo capacity. The receiver hitch basket allows you to extend your cargo space to the hitch of your vehicle. This cargo basket mounts to your Class 3 or 4 receiver hitch for added storage space. The sturdy and strong basket cargo carrier comes in 2 sizes: 60" & 48" wide, both have a hefty 500 pound carrying capacity. Each receiver hitch basket comes disassembled, and with a 10mm and 17mm wrench and socket, assembly is quick and easy. Now you can load up duffel bags, buckets, farm supplies, or even deer. The 5½" side rails ensure your cargo will remain on the receiver hitch basket while providing a handy place to attach cargo nets or bungee straps. Each cargo basket comes with reflective strips to ensure night-time visibility and a one year warranty. Use this cargo basket on a Class 2 receiver with the 1-1/4" to 2" hitch adaptor (sold separately below). Four different sizes of cargo nets are available to secure all your loads (sold separately-see below). Need a hitch for a cargo carrier? Check out the Hitch Selector to find a trailer hitch for your vehicle!
