Folding Cargo Carrier And Cargo Bag For 2014 Toyota 4Runner

Question:

I have a 2014 4runner limited. What rear cargo carrier and bag would you suggest.2 inch hitch. Is a fold up hitch a better option? Thank you for your time.

The first thing you will want to do is measure to see how much clearance you have at the rear of your 2014 Toyota 4Runner. I have attached a helpful article that shows you how to take this measurement. The article says it is for bike racks but the same principal applies for hitch-mounted carriers.

I recommend the etrailer Cargo Carrier, part # e98874. This carrier fits 2 inch hitch receivers and measures 24 X 60, which is one of the largest cargo carriers we offer. This carrier has a shank rise of 2 inches, and when folded up measures 9-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the carrier.

I also recommend the Cargo Carrier Light Kit, part # e98943-44LED. This is a must have option when the cargo in the carrier blocks the vehicle tail lights.

The cargo bag I recommend is the etrailer Cargo Bag, part # 988501. this cargo bag measures 59 inches long X 24 inches wide, and is 24 inches tall, and holds 20 cu ft of gear. I have attached a product review video for this cargo bag you can check out.
