Can the Yakima EXO Swing Away Carrier Be Used On A 2017 Ford F-350 With an In-Bed Camper?
Question:
Could you put this on an extended hitch behind a arctic fox in bed camper that over hangs about 2 feet, with side step access?

Expert Reply:
The Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System w/ Enclosed Cargo Carrier and Cargo Carrier # Y44ZR is not actually meant to be used with any type of hitch extender or adapter so with your truck having a hitch extender, it's not going to be recommended that you use this as is.
That said, seeing as though you're still going to need to use some type of an extension, the Yakima StraightShot Hitch Extension # Y69VR has been approved and will work great with the EXO Swing Away # Y44ZR.
If that is still not enough, then I recommend using the 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # M2200 with the extension # e48YR instead.
This cargo carrier has a maximum carrying capacity of 450-lbs, 13.25 cubic feet of storage capacity, and will work with 2" trailer hitches.
