Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2008 Dodge Caliber
Question:
Im looking to buy a hitch kit and a cargo carrier for my 2008 caliber. Im selling the car soon so I dont want to spend too much. Instead of going w a roof rack I thought might be better the carrier as I can use it on my next car. What would you recommend? Would 20x60 be too big? I just need it for suitcases or cooler when traveling with the family. Do I need the light kit as well?

First lets start with a trailer hitch for your 2008 Dodge Caliber. For that the Draw Tite hitch part # 24769 would be an excellent choice. It's also the best priced.
The best priced cargo carrier we offer then would be the Curt part # C18145. You wouldn't need a light kit with this carrier since it's small enough to fit between the taillights of your vehicle.
