• Recommended Cargo Carrier with High Ground Clearance and Bag
• If you are most concerned about ground clearance, I recommend the Pro Series 24 by 60 Cargo Carrier, part # 63153. This carrier features an angled shank, which would raise the carrier up 2-1/2 inches above the receiver, providing additional ground clearance. A light kit, part # 20174 for incandescent, or part # 98174LED for LED is also offered for the cargo carrier and is highly recommended if the carrier or its cargo obscure your tail lights. The etrailer Cargo Bag, part # 988501, is...

• I have a few recommendations for you, however, there is a risk of any type of fabric or plastic material being damaged on a cargo carrier with vehicles that have exhaust pipes exiting straight back like your 2007 Nissan Murano. If a hitch mounted cargo carrier option works best for your needs, I recommend choosing a cargo carrier that offers the most clearance between the exhaust tips and the carrier.

• Tilting and Folding Enclosed Cargo Carrier
• All of the carriers like the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches - 10 cu ft - 100 lbs # Y62VR that will swing away from your vehicle require a 2" hitch. The only hitches available for your Chrysler 200 are 1-1/4" receivers. You could use a standard cargo carrier like the # C18110 on your 1-1/4" hitch to carry golf clubs or other cargo.

• Reflectors for Curt Aluminum Cargo Carrier
• Although the 19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Aluminum # C18100 does not have mounting holes specifically for adding reflectors, there is a simple way to add them to this carrier. I recommend using 7" Long White/ 11" Long Red Conspicuity Reflective Tape # RE418T or Optronics Trailer Reflector # RE10RB, which will easily stick on the carrier's sides. Keep in mind you will also need the Pin and Clip # PC3 or Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232 to secure this carrier...

• Can Sides on Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier be Removed
• Yes, the side walls on the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier w/ Lockable Lid # M2200-01-02 referenced in your question can indeed be removed so that you can use it as a standard cargo tray. I confirmed this with my contact at Carpod. This is a really nice, hitch-mounted cargo carrier that includes a lockable lid and a weather-resistant bag. When attached, the carrier sidewalls can also fold down for easy storage and access to the rear of your vehicle, or outward for easy loading and unloading....

• Can Hitch Mounted Bike Racks be Added to Hitch Mounted Cargo Carriers to Carry Bikes and Cargo Items
• We do have some options that will allow you to carry cargo and bikes on your 2012 Toyota Highlander, however, bike racks should not be mounted to a hitch mounted cargo carrier. The opening that you see on this cargo carrier is simply a hollow tube, not a receiver. Adding a bike rack to a hitch mounted cargo carrier would place too much weight too far back from the trailer hitch. This will create additional stress that the trailer hitch and your vehicle frame cannot support. It is similar...

• License Plate Mounting Bracket With LED Light for a Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier

You will just want to find a way to attach the bracket to the cargo carrier. In most cases, the bracket is screwed directly to the top rail...

• How do I Safely Carry Light Cargo in My Cargo Bag on My Volvo XC60 with a Sunroof/Moonroof?
• From the sound of your question, it sounds like you are using a cargo bag like the Rightline Range 2 Rooftop Cargo Bag - Water Resistant - 15 cu ft # RL100R20 to your crossbars of your Volvo XC60. As far as guidance about the crossbar spread, the best route is to use the overall length of the bag as a reference. For example, if the bag is 40 inches long, I recommend 41 inches of crossbar spread. From the looks of your photo, it is possible that you have fixed mounting points on your rails....

• Can Skis Be Inside Bag When Used with Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier
• The Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier part # TH7326B is designed to be used with bare skis meaning ski which are not in a bag. The issue with putting the skis inside a bag with the carrier is that they could slide around. The bag would also catch wind increasing noise and reducing aerodynamics. I don't have any open ski carriers that will allow you to carry them inside a bag so if this is something you want to do you'd need to place them in a ski box like the Thule Force XT L Rooftop...

• Is it Possible to Install Yakima FatCat 6 and SkyBox21 on 66 or 78 Inch Crossbars
• As both items are 36 inches wide, both the Yakima SkyBox 21 and FatCat 6 will not fit on a 66 inch crossbar. Using the 78 inch crossbar would probably accommodate both items, but attempting to do so would have the crossbars and items mounted upon them extending past the edge of the roof, which can be a safety hazard. You would also need to ensure that the weight of the ski carrier, the cargo carrier and the items stored in/on them do not exceed the 125 lb weight capacity of the rack or...

• Can Rightline Roof Cargo Bag be Attached to Just the Crossbars on a 2016 Kia Sorento
• Using the crossbars to secure Rightline cargo bag # RL100S20 is actually more stable than using the side rails; especially during starts and stops. The protective pad # RL100650 will also help to keep the bag in place while protecting the roof of your 2016 Kia Sorento at the same time. Another accessory I recommend is a tire step, # ALL647596. The use of a tire step is safer than standing on the floor in an open vehicle doorway.

• To attach the Rightline cargo saddlebag # RL100B90 to your 2012 Toyota Sienna with side rails running from front to back along the side of the roof you will want to use Car Clips for Rightline Cargo Hatch Saddlebag # RL100605. The car clips let you attach your Rightline cargo saddlebag to a vehicle without a roof rack. Add the rubber-coated clips to the top 2 straps of your saddlebag to hook the carrier over your hatch door. The hatch will close easily over the hooks. Just thread the hooks...

• It sounds like you're asking about the hoops on the etrailer Cargo Carrier, part # e98874. These hoops are designed to hold the upper pin to keep the tilt-away feature secure.

• Do Draw-Tite or Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitches Require a Stabilizer Strap on a 2009 Subaru Forester
• Curt hitches that cannot be used with weight distribution systems require a stabilization strap, # 18050, for any non-trailer load such as a bike rack or cargo carrier, to be in compliance with the Curt warranty requirements. If you would just be towing a trailer you would not need to use the strap. The Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch trailer hitches (like # 75650) do not require the use of a stabilization strap. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video...
