Valley Tow 82372 3500-lbs 2-Inch Receiver Hitch Review

Valley Tow 82372 3500-lbs 2-Inch Receiver Hitch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
To no fault of the hitch, the undercarriage bolt connections are pretty difficult to get to. The real problem was the bolt's threading was so badly damaged (perhaps though the terrible packaging job) that it was near impossible to torque them through the hex nuts. I was having such a hard time tightening them together that I got out from under the car and tried to just thread the bolts through the nuts by themselves; to see if I could. It was exceptionally difficult. I think that had I been given a set of bolts that was not damaged, that this install would have been no problem.

This carrier is definitly rugged, but it wobbles all over the place. There are no assembly instructions, just an exploded view of the unit showing how it is assembled. If you can get through the assembly on your own, you will notice a few items that are weird. First, the nuts an bolts that assemble the tray to the main frame are button head bolts. You need a pretty big screw driver adn a lot of strength to tighten them. I swapped out the lag bolts for hex bolts. I also had to add stabilization straps going from my tow hitch side bars under my SUV to the very ends of the carrier.
If you don't mind the carrier wobbling, then it is a very good carrier. I just wish this carrier was more stable.

Larin LTG-60 Rear Cargo Carrier Review

Larin LTG-60 Rear Cargo Carrier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Larin Cargo Carrier is just what I needed for my small car, a lighweight platform to carry barrels and other items I don't want or can't fit in the car.
The carrier came with both 2inch and 1-1/4inch load bars, which is much better than using an adapter. The only small catch was that instructions were not entirely clear about how the 2 halves fit together, but once attached the rest of the assembly went perfectly.

Masterbuilt HFTB HITCH-HAUL Folding Receiver Bar Review

Masterbuilt HFTB HITCH-HAUL Folding Receiver Bar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I use this folding receiver bar on my motorhome to carry a cargo basket. Unfortunately it is about 3 inches too short to allow my cargo basket to fold up 90 degrees without touching the RV bumper. My RV hitch is slightly recessed under the RV's bumper so when I attempt to fold the cargo basket it touches the bumper at about a 70 degree angle. This folding receiver bar needs to be about 3" to 4" longer. Multiple (2 or more) lock pin holes would also be useful at the end of the bar used to secure the bar to the hitch to adjust the length of the bar protruding out from the hitch for various attachments, such as a cargo basket. Otherwise this is a durable and well built product.

Bully CR-112 Hitch Mounted Cargo Rack Review

Bully CR-112 Hitch Mounted Cargo Rack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This rack fit perfectly on my '95 Wrangler's hitch. I like having the option of carrying camping gear when the safari top is on and don't want to hassle with a overhead rack. Fits my two five gallon military jerry cans on each end and has plenty of room left for a giant Coleman cooler and other gear. Takes two to put it together easily, but it was less than $100.
My suggestion: a stabilizing set screw that helps keep it from rocking (ever so slightly) from left to right. It is not very noticeable, but knowing that it does move weighs on my mind when off-roading.

500LB Capacity 2" Hitch Mount Fold up Cargo Carrier Review

500LB Capacity 2 Hitch Mount Fold up Cargo Carrier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought my Cargo Carrier a few years ago to carry firewood for bonfires with groups of friends. It is amazing how often I use my Cargo Carrier to move around items that I normally wouldn't want in my vehicle, such as; sandy beach furniture, bags of concrete, grills and potentially leaking coolers. The best part about this particular model is the entire cargo carrier folds up and locks into place so that I can still have my cargo carrier with me at all times even if I'm not using it (extends about 6 inches). It makes it extremely useful to be able to leave it on the back of the vehicle when not in use and not having to take it on and off (as many times, you are away from home before you realize you need it). It turns any vehicle with a tow hitch into a 60" x 20" bed pickup truck.

CARPOD Hitch Mounted Cargo Rack M2200 Review

CARPOD Hitch Mounted Cargo Rack M2200
Average Reviews:

I bought this carrier to haul more stuff on vacation. This Carpod carrier worked great! The wired mesh side walls are strong and held 4 suitcases and 2 folding loungers inside its cargo area. It held everything securely and made no noise at all for over 1,200 miles. It gave us extra interior space inside our van and I did'nt have to struggle getting suitcases down from a roof carrier. The Carpod is well designed, strongly made and priced right.

Valley Tow 82753 Class II Receiver Hitch Review

Valley Tow 82753 Class II Receiver Hitch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this for a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe. It stated that it would fit with no drilling just bolts. It did not fit just like the other comment stated. We didn't have to take it to machine shop but thankfully my father had some metal files and we were able to file the holes a little longer. It was one of the most stressful things to put on because of the weight and the fact that it did not fit at first. After about 2 hours of labor with 3 people helping we finally were able to put it on after some major filing. I gave it a 2 because it stated it would fit but most certainly did not. But after all the filing down we were able to make it fit and its working out now.

Anti Rattle Locking Hitch Mount Wobble Bike Rack Hauler (Anti-Wobble) Review

Average Reviews:

Works OK, just is not user friendly when trying to install it on various vehicles with different body plastic, i.e. Chrysler Town n Country: Due to hitch being resessed under van, not enough 2 inch receiver sticking out to proper secure it. Doge Power wagon 2500 Welding to thick at neck of receiver and only wat to install anti-rattle was to turn it upside down and tightn the screws. Works well in that position.

This bolts together easily, and was well packaged and promtly delivered. The only problem I had was that it actaully doesn't fit the smaller slot hitch size.
I have a grinder so I was able to take off a little metal and make it work, but most folks don't want that sort of hassle.

Use this on a Toyota Matrix. Easy to put together and attach/remove to/from the hitch. Heavy duty. Lots of holddown holes for strapping. I don't max out the max load capacity because I only have a class I hitch, but I have no doubts the carrier would handle it.

48" Folding Hitch Receiver Cargo Basket Review

48 Folding Hitch Receiver Cargo Basket
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My wife, 2 boys, and I took a road trip from Oklahoma to D.C. We road trip every summer but with the boys growing so much, we needed some extra space in the ol' Pathfinder. I ordered this cargo carrier and assembly was quite simple, especially for someone like me. I also ordered the locking hitch so I didn't have to worry about theft.
We were able to fit 2 large suitcases and 1 large Nike bag on the carrier (1 suitcase laid down on one side, 1 suitcase sat vertical/straight up in the middle, and the bag was on the other side). The cargo carrier created so much room for my 2 boys and wife, they almost didn't know what to do! They were able to stretch out, watch movies, and even sleep comfortably while the "cargo" rode outside in the cargo carrier. I'm so glad I purchased it. I'm wishing I had bought one YEARS ago! But hey, this "CC" (as we called it) has plenty more miles and trips to go!
The CC also folds up easily and nicely and I never heard it rattle or make noise. I did use plenty of bungie cords to make sure my cargo wasn't going anywhere. Also, make sure you do make a Plan B in case of rain. I brought several 55 gallon trash bags and that did the trick.
I would highly recommend to anyone who loves "road-trippin" and would like some extra space in their vehicle to purchase this cargo carrier! I think my wife and boys would tell you to "get it so we have room to SLEEP!"

HITCH MOUNT CARGO CARRIER WITH WHEEL LUGGAGE CART HAND DOLLY(CARGOCARRIER-"CC-F6020-W"HEEL) Review

HITCH MOUNT CARGO CARRIER WITH WHEEL LUGGAGE CART HAND DOLLY(CARGOCARRIER-CC-F6020-WHEEL)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This cargo-carrier-slash-luggage-cart is awesome! It is very good quality and it is durable. I drove thousands of miles with it in the cold, ice, and snow. The wheels are very good quality and are not flimsy. The size is very generous. I carried a minifridge, tents, 18 gallon plastic tubs, and a 46" TV on it. I also plan to haul some trash to the dump with it, especially since it has wheels.
So here is why I gave it four stars instead of five: The instructions stink! It doesn't tell you how to hitch it to the truck, nor how to install the handle. Luckily, the company I bought it from had some very good pictures and close-ups on how it looks when installed to the hitch. Because this cart can fold up, the hitch mount is in two pieces. You have to switch the pieces to make the different positions. It's not too hard to figure out, but it would have made the process a lot easier if the box came with good instructions. Also, the handle was a pain to figure out. See, the handle is supposed to be able to fold flat. There are a bunch of weird nuts and bolts Ive never seen before that you must use to make the handle work properly. Unfortunately, there were no pictures of that! I had to sit there and try different configurations to get it to work. Im not even sure if its correct, but there doesn't seem to be another way to get everything on AND have the handle work. I think I had one lone nut leftover. But I can't remember. It does work now and I love it.
I have a suggestion for this product. I originally thought I would just need one lock for the hitch. Wrong! If you want to lock this thing completely, you need THREE LOCKS. One for the hitch receiver, one to lock the hitch to the "knuckle", and one to lock the basket to the "knuckle." Just bring the pin they give you to the store and match it up to a lock.
Also, this basket works great on a Jeep Wrangler! WITH the spare tire on, it STILL FOLDS! Awesome! The other thing I like about this product is that you can build around the brake lights so you won't even need to get those external brake lights or whatnot. Of course, if you have that spare tire in the way, you are a bit limited, but if you don't, you can build it up high. The other good thing about this product is that you can haul quite a bit of stuff and not have a trailer. I will emphasize how much better it is to drive WITHOUT a trailer in snow and ice!!!!! I would reckon it makes life easier in the rain too. You know what else is great about not having a trailer? YOU DON'T PAY EXTRA TOLLS FOR THE AXLES ON THE TRAILER!!!
Im telling you, just get it! It is a great product and is the only one like it Ive seen. IT HAS WHEELS! You can use it in the garden, or moving stuff to the garage too! I can't say how many times Ive said "geez I wish I had a cart" and now I do! And you should too. And the price is awesome. You wont be sorry!
