Recommended Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier For 2012 Mazda 5 With 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch

Question:

I am looking for a lightweight preferably aluminum cargo carrier for a 1 1/4inch receiver. There seem to be slim pickings for the baby receiver size. What do you recommend?

The hitch mounted cargo carriers we offer for a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening are not made of aluminum.

For your Class I trailer hitch receiver, We have three great options:

The 17 X 46 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18145 has side rails and an open-floor design that will prevent grime buildup. It would be best for carrier larger items that would not fall through the slats. This carrier weighs 28 pounds.

The 19X 47 Curt Carrier # C18110. It does not have side rails but includes an easy clean mesh floor. This carrier has an angled 3-3/4" rise shank to help with ground clearance. This carrier weighs 30 pounds.

Finally, the 20 X 47 Reese Carrier # 63155 has side rails and a mesh floor. This one has a shank rise of 3". This carrier weighs 44 pounds.

All of of these carriers have rugged steel construction.
