Mockins 60"x24"x6" Heavy Duty Trailer Hitch Cargo Carrier & 25 CuFt Waterproof Cargo Bag for Hitch Carrier | 500 Lbs. Capacity Folding Luggage Rack for SUV Car Truck with Plate Bracket & Accessories

Really really like this hitch basket so far! I got it for my Kia Telluride and have used it for probably 3000 miles already. It carries a LOT of stuff and the included bag does seem to truly be waterproof and is HUGE. I often put two bouldering crash pads and a big inflatable paddleboard backpack plus an electric pump and life vest in the bag in the hitch basket. I can bring my whole family camping and bring a ton of bedding, tents, a canopy, my paddleboard, etc in the bag and hitch basket. Assembly could be done by one person and took maybe 20 minutes. I have not noticed any bolts loosening, but I do check them at least once per camping season. I don't use the anti-rattle attachment and don't hear any noise from the basket whatsoever. I really don't have any cons for the hitch basket. My only real con for the bag is that I really don't like the straps that came with the bag to secure the bag to the basket. They're awkward, hard to use, and loosen too easily. I grabbed a couple lashing straps from Auto Zone during my first trip and have been using those and just one of the original straps since. Also - be aware of how close the load in your hitch basket is to your exhaust pipe!!! I had something propped over the edge of the basket toward the hatch, and the exhaust burned through one of the straps. The bag was totally undamaged despite having bits of melted strap on one side that easily scraped off. That was my bad and now I prop things up over the edge going away from the hatch. Just a heads up!

I purchased the Mockins 60”x24”x6” Weatherproof Trailer Hitch Cargo Carrier with the 25 Cu.Ft. Waterproof Cargo Bag, and I’m thrilled with it! The carrier is exceptionally well-made, sturdy, and easy to install. It handles the 500 lbs. capacity perfectly and has performed flawlessly on my trips so far. The waterproof cargo bag is spacious and keeps everything protected. I did notice a small hole in the accessory bag upon arrival, but the customer service team was outstanding—prompt, responsive, and resolved the issue immediately. Their excellent support turned a minor hiccup into a seamless experience. This product is a game-changer for road trips, and the customer service is unmatched. Highly recommend this carrier to anyone needing reliable, high-quality hitch storage!

Purchased this for our family trip to Lassen Volcanic National Park and it worked amazing. I got the XXL model for the trip but reading the comments , regarding the bolt snapping/breaking , I went to my local hardware store and was informed by the gentleman that the main screw where it bends is a 4.5 , he suggested for me to get something stronger for it since it was a long trip and wanted me to avoid any problems or issues , so I got a different bolt that is about 10.9 (in the pictures it’s the yellow looking bolt) . Total cost was about $9 for the bolt. After driving the 1,500 miles to park and back it performed amazing with no problems. I also believe the bolt might have snapped due to users exceeding the weight capacity. Assembly did take a bit so make about 1-2 hours to complete. It weighs about 75 lbs. so if you can have somebody help you lift to put into the hitch, it would make it a lot easier. I haven’t tried it on my Subaru Forester, but it did fit the Chevy traverse like a charm. Another thing to add, is it does come with a hitch lock however be sure to check your car as we had issues trying to put it on because of the way that the Chevy traverse has the trailer light connector right next to it. We ended up purchasing a $3.99 hitch pin with clip at U-Haul and that did the trick. Be sure to fasten your anti-hitch rattle ( the things that looks like a U bolt ) to ensure your load isn’t moving around, this can also cause an accident if strong winds occur. The bag is easy to clean and protects your items from elements. I definitely recommend a 10/10 for everything. It saves a-lot of space inside the car and it’s very reliable. The fact that it can fold up makes it even better. The price is amazing!!! if this one doesn’t fit my Subaru due to the size I will definitely be purchasing the smaller one.

We have a travel trailer, and there are some items we like to take along that we would rather not put into it (e.g. black and gray water portable tank). The trailer has a 2 inch hitch receiver welded to the frame, so having a exterior cargo carrier seemed a good solution. We will not use this in weather for awhile, so for now this review is only our observations on putting the carrier together and how it fits onto the car/travel trailer. The Mockins was easy to put together, and although we can see it might have rust issues other reviewers talked about, it seems sturdy. Pros: 1. We bought the extra large and it is really big! The mesh style bottom and 6 inch sides seem adequate to secure a load. It will carry a lot! 2. The carrier comes with a mesh cover and straps, a huge water resistant vinyl bag and straps, and ratchet straps to secure the load to the carrier. All the tools! Cons: 1. The assembly instructions show 4 holes to install the arm, but there are only 3. Not a big deal. Just don't do what we did and look for the "missing" 4th bolt. 2. Depending upon how recessed your hitch receiver is, the extra large sticks out pretty far from both the back of our trailer and both of our cars that have 2" receivers. We have some concerns about how much the load will whip at higher speeds. 3. The load tray dies come with stick on red reflectors, but since the rack sticks out so far, we are very close to exceeding the legal distance something can stick out behind the car without requiring brake lights. 4. Those reflectors might not be enough on one of those dark nights that swallow up headlights. We plan to get brake lights to wire to the brake lights on both the trailer and both cars - an additional expense. 5. When carrying a load, the car brake lights might not be visible. (Note the photo of the rear view of one of the pickups where brake lights are not visible). That will not be a problem with our trailer that is wide, but it will be with a lot of cars. 6. The carrier does come with a u-bolt and platform to help keep the hitch mount from bouncing up and down, but it does not come with instructions how to use it. Keeping the platform from bouncing up and down, wobbling from side to side, and twisting within the hitch receiver is really important, because that potential 500 lb load packs a lot of inertia punch when it gets going! We would have preferred to see the hitch with the kind of mechanism our Thule hitch bike carrier has. It is simple and very effective, because it expands the hitch to fit snuggly into the receiver with no play and uses a hook attachment rather than a bolt and cotter pin that can be tightened, too. 7. Having the vinyl bag to protect the load from weather is great, but the bag has some drawbacks. a. It is thick vinyl and very stiff. That makes it hard to fold and hard to unfold and open. It does not hold a shape, because there is no internal support when it is open. That makes it hard to load until a few things are in it, and it will be partially collapsed unless it is full. Will it flap in the wind? Time will tell. The stiff vinyl also makes it really hard to get the zippers that close the top around the corners. Great bag, but it can be hard to use.

OMG! Saved my travel plans. Filled this thing with 400lbs of luggage to move my daughter across 4 states. We hit a MAJOR pothole in the road that would have hit our heads on the ceiling of the car. The hitch wasn't affected at all. There was a fair bit of assembly, with decent instructions. The removal is NOT convenient as you have to loosen a bolt in order to remove the hitch. The bolt, and associated metal plate, holds the hitch tight against the car.

I recently acquired the XXL cargo rack and bag set for my Yukon SLT SUV, and it has truly been a game-changer for our family trips. The spaciousness of the cargo bag allowed me to effortlessly store all our essentials, from luggage to pet items, beach gear, a travel bed, beach chairs, cooler, and more.Installation was a breeze, and the rack securely hooked onto the back of my vehicle without any issues. However, there is one important consideration to note: when the cargo bag is fully loaded, it may obscure the rear lights and license plate of your vehicle, potentially posing a safety concern for drivers behind you. Fortunately, my Yukon SLT is equipped with a brake light at the top, and my side mirrors feature turning lights, mitigating this issue to some extent.Despite this minor inconvenience, I am thoroughly impressed with the overall quality and functionality of this cargo rack and bag set. It has made packing for family outings significantly easier and more organized, and I highly recommend it to fellow adventurers seeking a reliable storage solution for their SUVs.

I'm a 65 year old women and I had no problem putting this together and carrying to my car, installing into hitch. It fold so easy, the lock pin is an added feature, it sturdy and came with two keys. The tools that came with the carrier don't work, but I used my own with out issue. I had a problem at first, because it would not fit into my 2 inch hitch. I contacted the company. Within 2 days they sent me a new hitch arm and it fit perfectly. Customer service is A +, no need to explain multiple times to multiple ppl, American speaking, so ease of understanding. So far I'm so happy with my purchase. The cargo bag that came with it is phenomenal, its huge and so heavy duty, as well as the tie down straps, and ratchet straps. The bag has side handles, so I can lift off with the help of my husband carry it to where I need and unload it. Workmanship and product design is excellent, customer service is exceptional. I highly reccomend.

I purchased this carrier for a trip from Massachusetts to NC, then to Orlando. I needed the carrier on the NC to Orlando leg, so I had Amazon deliver to NC. It arrived four days before my arrival. The box was somewhat damaged, re-taped, and upon my brother opening, he discovered that it had already been opened and missing parts. There was still a return slip in the box from when it had been sent back by another customer. Amazon sent a new product, but it may not have arrived before I needed it, and I would have had to figure out how to return it between all of the driving I had to do. Without asking, Mockins customer service emailed me to call them. They were very apologetic and tried their best to get me replacement parts asap. They refunded me the entire cost of the item and told me not to return it, and to keep and use the replacement if it arrived in time. The replacement arrived just hours before me, and after a 2 hr. Nap, I assembled and installed the replacement and we were back on the road with my mother’s wheelchair and walker safely strapped to the carrier. The carrier was easy to assemble (not using the supplied wrench - its pretty useless) and attach to the receiver. I like the supplied U bracket to keep it secure. It is fairly sturdy, although some of the welds seem questionable to me, but were not an issue. I did not use the locking hitch pin only because of a previous issue with that type, I stayed with my standard pin. I used the carrier to load a wheelchair and walker using Rhino ratchet straps, and it worked perfectly. The carrier was easy to fold up and is pretty solid in that position. Overall this product served my needs, and worked as advertised. I was very impressed with the level of customer service I received from the manufacturer, and appreciate their quick resolution. I would feel confident that I anyone had an issue with this product, they would be responsive. Shame on Amazon though for sending a returned item as new.

I can’t say enough good things about this hitch cargo storage box. As a new family with a toddler, we quickly realized our minivan (a Grand Caravan) didn’t have enough room for all the gear we wanted to bring on road trips and camping adventures. This storage box has been the perfect solution. It’s incredibly spacious and sturdy—with a 500lb capacity, it easily holds all our camping gear. I love that it folds up neatly when not in use. It is also especially handy when we’re hauling firewood at camp or just needing the extra space when running errands. The fact that it locks and is fully weatherproof gives me peace of mind knowing our items are secure and protected in all kinds of weather. It also has a mount for the license plate, which is such an important detail that not all similar products offer. One of the biggest highlights for me was the customer service. I had a few questions while choosing the right product, and the team was incredibly responsive, friendly, and helpful. You can tell this is a small, family-run company that genuinely cares about their customers. It also comes with a 10 year warranty which is excellent and brings me peace of mind. The quality is outstanding—solid materials, great finish, I have zero complaints. We’re so happy we chose this hitch storage box, it’s made our family trips so much easier and I can’t wait to use it every summer.

This hitch carrier is great, used it for a family trip from MB to BC, over 6500km, 7 people worth of things crammed into 6 bins and then some, fit great into the Mockins waterproof bag. Everything stayed nice and dry and had no issues at all. Added a set of LED signal lights because of the size it covered the vehicles lights, still worked out great. Wouldnt have been able to do the trip without this so thanks very much and highly recommend it!

We just did a 1200km trip from Toronto to Mont Tremblant and back in winter, and although i was concerned that this carrier would not make it, it held up very well and the carrier bag kept everything clean and dry. We put about 200 lbs into the bag. This is a game changer for us.

I wanted a large cargo carrier to haul my boat and kayak, etc during our camping trips with the motorhome rather than stuff them inside. I found this large one on Amazon, which was cheaper than getting one welded up. My mounting system is custom designed, as some genius manufacturer thought the sewer drain under the frame rail was a good idea. For that reason I cannot comment on your typical hitch setup using a trailer hitch. With my system the carrier hitch is supported and vertical pivot functions normally. The carrier itself is also supported underneath on both sides. This thing is solid and will take the weight, possibly more. I doubt I exceeded the 500 lbs capacity rating. The diamond mesh is thin, but welds held up under load. The bag is a thick vinyl, zippers are covered and a velcro flap keeps rain from getting inside. If you are unsure about getting the bag, get it anyways. I was glad I did. Even the storage bag for the cargo bag is well made. The combination lock is like a suitcase lock. The straps work well. The carrier went together fine and is as strong as any of them out there. Tip for the lopsided basket complainers. Never tighten the bolts completely until assembly is finished. The Mocking name plates on both sides help hold the carrier flat, so assembly on a flat, level surface helps. On the carrier's first road trip it performed well. Rain stayed out. Absolutely reccomend this product.

some parts missing but it seems like good quality
