Could Bike Be Carried on a Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier
Question:
I like the versatility of a cargo carrier versus a bike rack. I was planning to lay bikes on their side, stacking up 2 adult bikes an 2 kid bikes. I dont need the additional mounting attachment to stand them up because theyre old bikes, not precious cargo. Is this plan feasible with this product on my 2015 Toyota Highlander? Thanks.

The cargo carrier part # CC-100 has a platform that is 23 by 60 inches. As long as you secured the bikes adequately to the carrier you would have no problem carrying them.
For a cargo net you could use the # H9500100 and/or for straps the # 05605. Check out the review video I attached.
