Yes, the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender item # PVP20B can be used with a cargo carrier. It is important to remember that the Kuat Pivot reduces your hitch capacity by 50%. You will be able to use 2" accessories with the Pivot but you will want to make sure you do not exceed your hitches tongue weight capacity or the 250 lbs weight limit of the Kuat Pivot 2 item # PVP20B.
