Can 2 Cargo Bags be Stacked on Top of Each Other on a Trailer Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier
Question:
Have you tried double stacking cargo bags on this carrier as long as I dont overload the 500 lb. limit? I dont want to put one on the roof of my explorer due to its height and getting too old to climb up there!

I have not heard of anyone stacking two of cargo bag # 988501 on top of a carrier such as # 63153 but as long as they are properly secured to the carrier and you are within the capacity of the carrier it should work just fine. For this type of application I strongly recommend using a cargo net such as # EM01010 to help keep everything in place.
