You will have to measure to determine if the carrier will fit when folded. If you measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the point where the bumper sticks out the farthest you will have the measurement needed to determine if the carrier will work when folded. On this carrier, # 6502, 20x48 Folding Cargo Carrier. It measures 7-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the carrier when folded.
We have another cargo carrier that folds and has a longer hitch pin hole distance when it is folded and it is the, # e98874 the distance to the folded carrier tray from the center of the hitch pin hole is 9-1\2 inches when folded up and 19-1/2 inches when in use.
There are also hitch extenders like the # HE06 available to allow the carrier to fold when not in use. Using a hitch extender will reduce your hitch's overall capacity by 50 percent.
