The Flint Hill Goods Hitch-Mount Cargo Carrier # FHG77ZR has usable interior space that measures 50-1/4" long x 30-7/8" wide x 3-3/4-inchs tall. This carrier fits into 2-inch Class III trailer hitches.

We do have cargo carriers that are designed for the lighter-duty Class II hitches and you can see all of them on the linked page. These include the... view full answer...
When looking at weight capacities between a hitch and a cargo carrier you always want to go by the lowest number between the two. The 17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier Item # C18145 has a weight carrying capacity of 500lbs however; the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Item # C12091 on your 2014 Ford Fusion has a max tongue weight of 350lbs. Even though the cargo carrier can handle 500lbs you want to go by the 350lb max tongue weight of the hitch receiver.

I am not aware of any laws regarding altered driving speed limits when a cargo carrier is in use, but it is simple enough to check your local or state laws. Your local highway patrol can likely provide confirmation if there are any such laws in place in your area.
Hitch-mounted cargo carriers such as the 20 x 48-inch Curt # C18110 for 1-1/4-inch hitch receivers do have weight limits, just as your vehicle trailer hitch receiver does.

We can help you with a hitch for your Encore that will allow you to take advantage of the extra cargo space/weight capacity provided by a hitch mount cargo carrier.
Only 1-1/4-inch hitches are made for the Encore, we have the light-duty Class I hitch by Curt, # C11527, which only has a 200-lb tongue weight rating. Installation instructions and a video are linked for you. It is also a good idea to check your owner's manual to confirm the car's own tongue weight capacity which could differ... view full answer...
The reason the RV bumper mount style of cargo carriers like the # e83YR are wider than the hitch mount options is because RVs are generally much wider than vehicles. That is why the hitch style carriers like the etrailer # e98874 are only up to 60 inches wide. view full answer...
The 6" height of the rails (5-1/2" on the inside) for the 24x60 hitch cargo carriers, like the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18152, is a standard height and none of them have a side panel add-on to increase the height of the rails. If you're looking for a way to contain some cargo inside this carrier then you might be interested in the etrailer Cargo Bag w/ Mounting Straps # 988501.
Aside from this you might be interested in the 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier # M2200. This isn't as wide as... view full answer...
You would be limited by the lower figure of 200 lbs for the weight you could carry in a cargo carrier with the Draw Tite hitch part # 24878. You always have to go by the lowest rated component in the setup as the overall capacity.

I measured the distance of the hitch pin hole to the front of the Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # C18113 and found it was 29 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest part (the front) of the carrier, as you can see in the accompanying photo. It is also 6-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the carrier.

Yes, the inside dimensions of the Draw-Tite Hitch Cargo Carrier, item # 6502, are 20 inches by 48 inches so as long as the box is not over 48 inches it will fit.
If you feel that these dimensions are a bit tight, you might consider the folding Cargo Carrier for 2 inch Trailer Hitches, etrailer item # e98874, which is 24 inches by 60 inches inside dimensions.
One thing to keep in mind when selecting a folding cargo carrier is the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole on your vehicle... view full answer...
Curt steel hitch cargo carrier # C18153 has a shipping weight of 71-lbs. Their aluminum carrier # C18100 has a shipping weight of 29-lbs (because it is lightweight aluminum rather than steel). The low-cost Stromberg Carlson steel cargo carrier # CC-100 has a shipping weight of 40-lbs. The weight differences are due to the different materials used and the fact that the Stromberg Carlson carrier does not fold up, so it does not have the added weight that comes from a folding hinge mechanism.

The 20x60 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18150 is a great hitch-mounted cargo carrier with raised side rails that offer multiple tie-down points.
The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole on your trailer hitch to the Curt Carrier is 11 inches. To assure the carrier (and stored luggage) will not interfere with the bumper on your 2016 Mazda CX-3, you will just want to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest edge of your bumper. As long as it is shorter than 11 inches,... view full answer...

Yes, it is! To carry bikes with a hitch mounted cargo carrier, I recommend the Bike Rack Adapter item # CC-125 and the 23x59 Stromberg Carlson Cargo Carrier item # CC-100. This cargo carrier mounts inside a 2" hitch and has a 500 lbs capacity.
The Bike Rack Adapter item # CC-125 bolts into the base of the cargo carrier and allows you to carry up to two bikes. The adapter works with bike tires up to 2-1/4" wide.

If your 2011 Toyota RAV4 has a 2-inch hitch receiver like Curt # C13149 then the etrailer Folding Cargo Carrier # e98874 will fit the hitch and will clear the rear of the vehicle even when folded. The etrailer cargo carrier # e98874 provides 9-1/2 inches of clearance from its hitch pin hole even when folded and this is plenty for your RAV4 even if it has the rear spare tire.
In terms of weight capacity the lowest-rated item in the system, between the vehicle, hitch and carrier, determines... view full answer...
This Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, part # C23519, will act as a hitch pin and you will not need to buy an additional one. There is also not a weight limit for this product because it will not be bearing any of the weight of your cargo carrier. The hitch and cargo carrier will bear the weight of your cargo.
However, you will want to be aware of the weight capacity of the hitch and cargo carrier and be careful not to exceed the capacity of the lowest rated component.

It sounds like you are looking for the hitch mounted cargo carrier that has the a long distance from the hitch to the carrier so that you can clear the spare tire on your 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
The carrier I recommend with a lot of clearance is the etrailer Cargo Carrier # e98874, which is a full 19-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the carrier. What that means is if you measure from your Sprinter's hitch pin hole out to the edge of your spare... view full answer...
Your MaxxTow Aluminum 2-Inch Hitch Cargo Carrier MT70108 could be used with a 1-1/4-inch to 2-inch hitch adapter like Brophy # HTAD or # HT5R but use of such adapters will cause you to lose half of your hitch's capacity. This loss comes from the actual load being moved further away from the hitch tube, which increase leverage on the hitch.

The 19X 47 Curt Carrier # C18110, weighs 30 pounds. Yes you must factor in the weight of the cargo carrier and cargo and any items loaded behind the rear axle of the car.
