Why Do I Need a Cargo Carrier?
Sometimes there isn't quite enough room in your vehicle to fit everything for a hunting trip, camping expedition or family vacation! These carriers take some of the bulk, freeing up your interior space. We have models that can hold up to 500 pounds of extra gear, and most attach directly to a 2 inch Class III or Class IV square receiver with no adapters needed.
How to Choose the Right Type
As you start your search, here are some factors to keep in mind:
- Determine your hitch class
- Think about the cargo you'll be transporting
- Estimate the weight of your cargo
- Think about the weather conditions
- Assess how frequently you'll use your carrier
