Question:
Hi,I’m looking for a trailer hitch cargo storage that also has a 4 bike rack attachment. Do you have anything like that available? Thanks

If you're looking for a cargo basket that installs on a trailer hitch and is also able to be paired up with a bike rack then the best option is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Platform Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # HR1450Z-85 which is also available..
I'm not aware of any cargo carriers available anywhere that can have a 4-bike rack attached to them because that would extend the load out way too far and it would add more leverage to the hitch which could overload it very easily. We have the # HR1400Z-85 which holds 4 bikes or 2 bikes and a cargo carrier.
If you're needing to transport 4 bikes plus us a carrier then I recommend either using a 4-bike rack at the hitch and adding a cargo basket to the roof of your vehicle (with a crossbar system) as that would give you the most real-estate for cargo and an easier time loading up the bikes. If you let me know what vehicle you have I can make recommendations for both.
