MaxxHaul 70108 Aluminum Cargo Carrier With High Side Rails- Trailer Hitch Mount For RV's, Trucks, SUV's, Vans, Cars With 2" Hitch Receiver - 500-lb Load Capacity, Grey, 49" x 22.5"

Not only does thing Wiegh hardly anything, it is extremely durable and lightweight. Aluminum.The assembly process was roughly 15-min with a drill and a wrench. It is exactly what we expected. Lastly, it came with a hitch and locking pin, so you do not need to worry about purchasing that.

It's a basic cargo carrier - no hinge that folds, requires some assembly, and it's mostly aluminum - but it holds up to 500 lbs and it simply works. It's sturdy - the bottom piece that attaches to the vehicle rear hitch is steel - the 4 side walls are aluminum which makes the carrier lightweight - MUCH lighter than other hitch cargo carriers. My wife could easily attach or remove this cargo carrier onto the vehicle hitch by herself. And once installed with an anti-rattle hitch attachment I could jump up and down on the carrier with no movement. Take your time assembling the carrier and reference the diagram carefully to determine how it goes together (the written instructions suck). The piece with the Maxxhaul logo is placed on the opposite side of the hitch so it faces the car behind you. I added some highway reflective tape to the aluminum horizontal rails to increase the visibility of the carrier even though it has some red reflectors on it. I bought the matching Maxxhaul black cargo bag and it fits this cargo carrier perfectly.

I use this for 20 gal. sprayer on back of lawn tractor. Works fine!

I was skeptical about the strength of the rack when we opened the box, however, once it was put together it was very sturdy. It is light enough that one person can slide it into the receiver on our Motor home if necessary.

Extremely durable easy to assemble extremely

This is very lightweight and very strong. I put a complete Ford Big Block engine on it with no problem, and then of course had to test it by hauling two Ford engines on it no problem. Easily over 500lbs.

Lightweight, fairly easy to assemble. Took me 1.5 hours to assemble by myself. I used 2 different sized nut drivers, a #2 Philips, my drill with a #2 Philips bit and an open end wrench for a couple of the really tight spaced nuts. I loosely tightened the bolts and nuts with the nut driver and the drill, then went back with a regular Philips screwdriver and the nut driver to tighten them down. I think it's been said in other reviews, but definitely put in "ALL" bolts and loosely tighten nuts before the final tightening. Otherwise you'll be fighting every hole alignment after you tighten the first half dozen! (Yes, I had to loosen everything back up.) The instructions aren't the best, but most of the assembly is obvious. Just note that all the vertical supports go on the outside. I put all the bolts from the outside inward, nuts on the inside, except for the hitch support, which I put bolts downward with the nuts on the bottom. On the hitch support bolts you'll put a washer on the bolt and one on the nut side. This carrier looks solid and it's a good size. Looks like two good sized coolers will fit on it easily, but we'll load it a bit more than that on our next trip. I'll post more after our first long trip. If you have any questions I'll respond.

Works great for our van and our sporty family! It fits our cooler, wagon, tent weights, and my babies scooters on it. Very well worth it!
