The weight of the cargo carrier as well as the weight of the cargo is included in the tongue weight for a hitch on your 2014 Dodge Challenger. For example, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13236 has a 350 lb tongue weight, so you would add the weight of the cargo carrier plus the weight of the luggage on the carrier to get the tongue weight.
To maximize the amount of gear you can carry I recommend a lightweight aluminum carrier, the 49x22-1/2 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # C18113.

Absolutely; many, many people install a hitch just for the use of an accessory like a cargo carrier or bike rack and never tow anything. So you can definitely install a hitch on your 2019 Honda Accord (excluding hybrid) for a cargo carrier, with the correct hitch being the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11525.
The only thing to keep in mind is the # C11525 is a Class I hitch so you do need a Class I compatible cargo carrier. The one I like quite a bit is from Curt, the 17x46 Curt Cargo... view full answer...
We do have an easy solution for you to use a cargo carrier and tow at the same time, though you would not be able to put a hitch ball on a cargo carrier because they do not have the strength to tow a trailer.
To carry your extra gear while you go camping what you can use is the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers # D210 which allows you to use a hitch ball to tow and has a receiver on top for a cargo carrier such as the Curt # C18113.

Yes! Since cargo carriers like the 22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches - Aluminum # C18113 do not have a maximum highway speed rating, you will be safe in driving at 80mph. We have had lots of neighbors who have traveled at those speeds and never report issues.
With that being said, it is important to have the proper securing methods. If you have a lot of medium-sized cargo, the Curt Stretchable Cargo Net - 43" Long x 24" Wide # C18202 works great with the # C18113; if you have larger... view full answer...

You can absolutely use a rooftop cargo bag with the Curt hitch mounted cargo carrier # C18152. You will want to take extra steps to secure the bag such as ratchet straps or bungee cords. Make sure you keep as much of the bag in the carrier as possible, and try to limit any overhang. Using a stretchable cargo net like the # C18202 may really help to keep everything in place. view full answer...
The bouncing and shaking that you saw in the video is the norm on the majority of cargo carriers on the market. The extended location from the hitch causes the carrier to bounce more than a hitch accessory that might sit closer to the vehicle.
There are a few products that can help with the bounce. An anti-rattle device, like # e99007 for 2 inch hitches, can help by securing the cargo carrier's hitch shank to the hitch receiver. The bolts will push the shank up tight against the top of... view full answer...
The Cargo Carrier for 2 Inch Hitches, Part # e98874, as a folding-type carrier, will tend to exhibit slightly more play than a fixed non-folding carrier. There will always be some amount of wobble with an empty carrier even with a product like this carrier. Other similar folding carrier products, such as folding bike racks, will also typically have a bit more slack compared to the fixed variety of carriers. I recommend the threaded Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin Lock # e99047. This will help with... view full answer...
To lock your bikes when using the Bike Rack Adapter for Stromberg Carlson Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier # CC-125, the best thing you can do to prevent theft is use a cable lock. You can thread these locks around the hitch receiver, through the mesh floor of the cargo carrier, or wherever is the most convenient.
For cable locks I recommend the etrailer 10' Long Cable Lock # e98891 or RockyMounts Hooligan Chain Lock # RKY3802.
If you do it through the mesh floor of the Stromberg Carlson... view full answer...

There unfortunately is not a folding version of the 22x60 Flint Hill Goods Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - 500 lbs
Item # FHG49ZR available. The closest option to this carrier that can fold would be the 19x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # C18109 if you don't mind losing a little bit of space and the upper railing. view full answer...
Yes, it is safe to carry metal diesel containers on a hitch-mounted cargo platform. However, when transporting fuel, I recommend storing the containers as far as possible away from the exhaust of the vehicle. A way to avoid the exhaust entirely is mounting a cargo platform on a front-mounted carrier.
If you want a recommendation for a hitch cargo carrier and a front/rear hitch, I would be happy to assist you if you provide me with the year/make/model of your vehicle. view full answer...
There is absolutely an anit-rattle hitch pin for the 24 x 48-3/4 Carpod Cargo Carrier; what you will need is the following part:
- Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # 63232
What this anti-rattle hitch pin - which is also a lock - will do is greatly reduce the amount of rattle and "play" of the shank inside your hitch, so it won't be noisy and you'll have a much more peaceful, quiet ride than a carrier without one. view full answer...

There is not a 2 inch receiver on the rear or elsewhere on the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18113.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11474 you have on your 2009 VW Jetta SportWagen is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver and 200 lb tongue weight (as are all the hitches for this vehicle). The issue is that when using an adapter like the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD it reduces the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent. That means your hitch capacity is only 100 lbs, and exceeding that compromises the integrity of the hitch not only because... view full answer...
We don't offer an extension such as what you speak of. Once you get a couple feet rearward of where the hitch and cargo carrier meet, any extension would act like a lever that would apply too much force to the hitch which would cause it to fail.
We do offer a solution that might work for you, though. The Stromberg Carlson # CC-255 A-frame mounted cargo tray would attach to the A-frame of your tent trailer. As long as you have about 30 inches of available space between the camper and the... view full answer...
The hinge pin you are talking about on the Carpod Walled, Folding Cargo Carrier, part # M2205-01-02 is a 5/8-inch diameter pin.
I called my contact at Carpod and they siad it is really solid and an anti-rattle pin is really not needed. The hitch pin and clip to use on the trailer hitch receiver is not included. For a standard pin and clip you can use part # PC3 and for a locking anti-rattle hitch pin you can use part # 63232. view full answer...
