Now this is gonna be a great system for you if you're looking to really max out what the Atlas can carry and you don't wanna put anything on top of your roof, 'cause it can be a little bit of a reach. Gonna be an easy way to kind of get any storage that you have on your vehicle. And if you go camping, it's gonna be a good way to kind of access it too. And like I said before, it's gonna be great for camping or if you're traveling with your family, you have all that extra storage that you need to put somewhere.

Curt 17x46 Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2022 Volkswagen Taos- Video
Hey everyone, I'm Charles with etrailer, and today we'll be taking a look at the 17 by 46 Curt cargo carrier for an inch and 1/4 and 2-inch hitches on the 2022 Volkswagen Taos. All right, so this cargo carrier is made out of a heavy-duty steel construction and has a black powder coat finish, making it very durable and corrosion resistant. And this cargo carrier also fits on an inch and 1/4 and 2-inch hitches, making it great if you have multiple vehicles and something to keep in mind, if this is on an inch and 1/4 hitch, its weight capacity can support up to 300 pounds and on a 2-inch hitch, just like we have here on the Taos, it can support up to 500 pounds, but keep in mind to look at your vehicle specifications on the tongue weight capacity. All right, so the inside length is gonna measure at about 46 inches and the inside width at about 18 inches. And just for a frame of reference, we have this tote in here and we do have the raised side rails over here giving you a lot of different mounting options. Something to keep in mind about the height of the items you can carry when you have your hatch open, we'll measure at about 23 inches of height. more

Reese 24x60 Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan- Video
Ryan: Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer.com. Today on our 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan, we're going to be taking a look at the Reese Explore cargo carrier.Now a hitch-mounted cargo carrier is going to allow us to put all of our gear on the outside of our car, freeing up all that space on the inside for a more comfortable ride. Since this is one of the larger carriers available, it's going to have no problem carrying those full-size coolers, camping equipment or even that sporting equipment. Our carrier's usable space is going to be 24" long, 60" wide, and it's going to be 5-1/2" tall, which is a great size considering oftentimes the Tiguan is more of a family car and has a lot of cargo.Now the bottom of our carrier is going to be made out of mesh, and that's not only going to help keep it lightweight, it's also going to be easy to clean. That way if you get any mud or dirt on the bottom of it, you can just hose it right off and get it shining again. If you want to be extra safe or if your cargo is very tall and blocking your tail lights, there actually is a light kit available that fits into these openings for a clean look.Now even though our carrier is more lightweight compared to many of the other ones that I've had experience with, it's still going to have a 500-pound maximum weight capacity. more

Now to being our test fit, well slide the shank of the carrier into the opening of the hitch, align up our pinholes, thread our anti-rattle bolt through the pinholes and tighten with a wrench.
