The rack bent down lower and lower to the ground on our very first road trip with just over 100lbs on it. The rack doesn't line up anymore when you tilt it up. Mockins said they were sending me a replacement when I showed them the pictures but then sent me a random item without cotter pins. Boo!
I just received this product and opened the box. The attached picture is the product prior to assembly. Boy, am I impressed. This item is well built and made with strong materials. I am no welder, but the welds look great because they are clean. The underlying materials are of heavy gauge material. I think I got a great deal compared to a local welder who wanted 5 times the price I paid. The bag is thick.
Updates to 3 stars from 2.When a box with holes arrived on my doorstep I knew something would be missing. The stabilizer bar was not sent with my purchase and it was missing one of the m16 pin clips sets the hitch stabilizer bar and the main frame arm (the part that connects to your hitch). I will contact their customer service.Customer service got back to me quickly and sent the items I needed. Had to wait an extra week. However upon further inspection the powder coat was damaged on many pieces and the frame was dented in certain corners. After assembly found that the main bolt which connects the basket to the swing arm is not long enough so the bolt doesn't make it entirely through the nut on the other side. I may replace that piece myself for piece of mind.Haven't given a road test yet. But it feels pretty stable, all things considered.This isn't a small item so the hassle of trying to return it isn't worth it because the boxes would all have to be replaced on my dime. I just wish whomever shipped it had gotten it right the first time. If it isn't first quality don't send it back out.I am not an expert or professional. I'm just a guy who wants quality for his money.
This cargo carrier has proven incredibly useful for our frequent four-hour drives to visit a family member. We've consistently packed it full with a variety of travel essentials, including clothing bags, air mattresses, children's toys, and even a dog cage. The included cover provides excellent peace of mind, ensuring our belongings are protected from weather damage.While the bag lock isn't particularly robust, it should serve as a basic deterrent against casual theft at rest stops. The hitch lock, though aesthetically pleasing, has unfortunately shown signs of rust after only two months of winter use.Regarding weight capacity, I tested the carrier with approximately 480 pounds of wood pellet bags, and noticed the basket beginning to bend. Based on this, I'd recommend staying closer to 400 pounds, rather than the advertised 500 pounds, to ensure long-term integrity.Overall, this is a very effective cargo carrier. It was relatively easy to assemble and install, and has significantly simplified our long-distance travels
I finally decided to purchase this particular cargo carrier after I shopped for 4 days from anyone that I could locate that sold them. It was so easy to install that my friend and I installed it in less than an hour after dark by flashlight. I really like this cargo carrier as it looks good, is very heavy duty, sturdy, and quite large. It shipped immediately and arrived in 2 days. It was a great price from Amazon and has a 10 year warranty.
This thing is a beast! The first thing you'll notice when you get the box is that it's significantly heavy. All the pieces seem well crafted and the powder coating was excellent. The pieces lined up well and all the hardware was a good quality with no burrs or thread issues on the nuts and bolts themselves.Once assembled it is very large with a ton of space. It does stick out a good bit behind the vehicle so there will be a fair amount of torque if you load it to capacity. It's best to have heavy duty shocks/springs in the back so your front end won't ride up too high. I was also a bit concerned about curb clearance etc especially if there this a break in angle that would cause it to bottom out but so far haven't had any trouble.Pay close attention to the orientation of the bed pieces if you want to get the assembly lined up for the license plate holder. Those directions are on a separate sheet to be completed after the initial assembly. It is VERY easy to end up with it assembled with the mounting holes "backwards" (facing the wrong direction)... don't ask me how I know!One nice feature is that it will fold up when not in use. This permits you to fold it up out of the way once emptied, allowing you to park an SUV in a space that is about four feet shorter than when it's deployed.Taking it on-and-off is not too difficult but will require you to take off the stabilizer bolt (so a wrench will be needed). Personally, I found it easier to slide it into the tongue if I had it in the 'folded upright' position. It is a bit awkward and bulky but manageable to do by yourself. Having help makes it a snap.**I have an older vehicle but I would assume this could be a bit problematic for a backup camera.**Over all I'm quite content with this item and anticipate using it to carry things to the beach on an upcoming trip in April.
The Mockins cargo rack is really big. I didn't realize until I put it together just how big it would be. The design is clever, and it seems sturdy enough for anything that I would want to carry. It does have some looseness where the tube attaches to the rack. When the rack is folded up, the wobbling is more noticeable. This is where the basket of the rack attaches to the hitch tube. I will put a bungee on it to see if I can mitigate the wobble. It's nice that it comes with a hitch stabilizer for the hitch tube when it's in the truck hitch receiver. That can be snugged up to prevent sway and wobble. I can see how nice it will be during camping season or while traveling. It's also long enough to haul a delta or tadpole trike is the wheels are too far apart.
At nearly six feet in width, the only thing this is missing is a provision for taillights. Depending on the load and the vehicle the lights may very well be obscured. Adding an inexpensive set of trailer lights would be easy. I can recommend their Mockins weatherproof cargo bags as well that would work perfectly on this cargo carrier, particularly in the winter and spring. Assembly was easy, the hardware is still metric 4.8 grade budget stuff and some of the flat washers provided were neither round nor flat. There is room for improvement in the hardware department. Otherwise, this will serve for quite a while but could use a few minor upgrades.
We got this to use when we travel and used it this year on our way to the beach. The case it very durable and hold a lot of stuff along with keeping it dry. Nice thing is you can keep it attached and it folds up when not in use. You must take the bag off but still A1 product.
Simple assembly
Everything works awesome!
awesome
I like the larger capacity of this product and its durability in weather conditions.
I purchased this Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier (HMCC) for my SUV. I needed the 3rd row as I have two grandchildren in car seats and with them, their parents, my wife and me, all seats had to be utilized. There is very little space behind the 3rd row seat and the tailgate door - certainly not enough to accommodate suitcases and a stroller. By getting this HMCC, I now have all the space I need inside the vehicle, while being able to accommodate all the gear we need. That HMCC was high quality, easy to put together, fits perfect in my 2" hitch and the waterproof bag and cargo straps keep my gear secure and dry/clean. When not in use, the HMCC folds up or is easy to remove. I installed a couple of hooks on the garage wall and simply hand the HMCC on the hooks....easy-peasy! I was actually surprised how maneuverable the HMCC is. It is easily handled by one person from assembly, to vehicle installation, removal and storage. I highly recommend this for those who don't have enough internal space in their vehicle.
This was the best alternative to pulling a whole trailer. The cargo basket is very well made...the kids tested it out for us. It was very easy to put together...took me about 15 mins taking my time and another 15 to put it on the car. The bag if very thick and seems of great quality. I had an issue with one of the bolts and customer service rectified the issue by sending another set of bolts asap (I called on Friday morning and received the bolts on Monday). Very happy with my purchase and with customer service.
Great product
It worked really well and was very easy to assemble and hook up.
This cargo carrier is amazing! It was quick and simple to put together.
Well designed and quality is top notch! Perfect for those trips when you have a vehicle full of children and pets and need the extra space!
What a great product!! A piece was lost in shipping and when we called they shipped the piece right away. I would recommend this carrier and company to everyone.
Excellent material
My husband was able to put this together alone but you do need master tools. It took him maybe an hour but we weren't really keeping an eye on it. It did exactly what it was supposed to do! I will say it does kind of hang lower on my 24 VW atlas so it did scuff when hitting some steep areas but it did not impact the functionality at all. We love it!
