FAQ

Hitch Carriers FAQ

General Compatibility & Installation

Q: What vehicles are compatible with the hitch cargo carrier?
A: The cargo carrier fits vehicles with a 2" hitch receiver. Always verify that your vehicle’s hitch class and weight capacity support the carrier.

Q: Can the cargo carrier be used with a hitch extender?
A: Yes, as long as the hitch extender is rated for the appropriate weight capacity and does not compromise stability.

Q: Is this hitch carrier approved for use on a 5th wheel?
A: Yes, as long as the hitch receiver meets the required weight capacity. Always double-check your vehicle’s specifications.

Q: Can the hitch carrier be attached to a tow ball?
A: No, it is not designed for tow ball use. It must be connected to a hitch receiver.

Safety & Security

Q: How does the hitch stabilizer & lock system enhance safety?
A: The hitch stabilizer minimizes wobbling and movement, while the hitch lock prevents theft by securing the carrier to the vehicle.

Q: Will dual exhaust pose a fire hazard?
A: The heavy-duty steel withstands high temperatures, but it is recommended to maintain a safe distance from the exhaust to prevent heat exposure.

Q: Does the cargo carrier block the rearview camera?
A: It may partially obstruct visibility depending on your vehicle and the cargo being carried. Always check after installation and adjust if needed.

Q: What is the maximum recommended height for stacking cargo?
A: If stacking above the side rails, use a cargo net or tie-down straps to keep items secure during travel.

Durability & Maintenance

Q: Is the cargo carrier rust-proof?
A: The carrier is made of anti-rust steel with a protective coating. For extended durability, periodically apply a rust-resistant spray and store it indoors when not in use.

Q: Is the carrier weather-resistant?
A: Yes, it has a rust-resistant coating to protect against harsh weather conditions.

Storage & Usage

Q: How do I fold the cargo carrier for storage?
A: The carrier features a tilting design for compact storage. Follow the user manual for folding instructions.

Q: Can the cargo bag be used on a roof rack?
A: No, the cargo bag is not designed for roof use. High wind speeds and improper installation could cause damage, and roof mounting is not covered under warranty.

Cargo Bag Features & Security

Q: How can I keep my belongings safe and dry in the cargo bag?
A: The waterproof cargo bag has carry handles, zipper pulls, a protective zipper flap, Velcro closures, and buckle straps. It also includes an anti-theft lock for added security.

Q: Does the hitch cargo carrier extend for additional storage?
A: The carrier itself does not extend, but the waterproof cargo bag is flexible and can expand to fit different cargo sizes.

Works as it should. No rattling anymore. The only way it would work is if I installed it upside down, as you can see in the picture, but that is no big deal.

I am new to hitch in general and noticed whatever 2 inch hitch attachment I put on it tend to have a little movement. After learning about this product I am glad I made the purchase as any attachment is rock solid without any give. It's a must buy for those that use the hitch.

Instructions on the package. Easy to install - use a 17mm socket for the nuts. Perfect fit and eliminate the rattle as it's designed to do. Does not interfere with hitch function. Buying this is cheaper than trying to make one too. Very pleased with this product and only took a few minutes to install.
