How To Carry A Cargo Carrier and Tow A Trailer At The Same Time

Question:

Is it possible to tow an additional trailer behind a cargo carrier? Can an additional receiver be added to allow towing of a small wheeled trailer behind the cargo carrier? Could I use a cargo carrier with a ramp?

It is possible to carry a cargo carrier like part # e98874 and tow a trailer with a vehicle but not in tandem. You would need to use a Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount part # D210 to carry the cargo carrier in the top receiver and then tow the trailer with the ball mount portion like in the photo I attached. The only stipulation is the dual receiver does reduce the tongue weight rating of your hitch in half so you would want to keep that in mind. You also don't really want to use a cargo carrier with a ramp because you wouldn't really be able to use it with the cargo carrier in the top receiver.
