MaxxTow Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan- Video
Today on this 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan, we're going to be taking a look at the MaxxTow 30x50 Wheelchair Carrier with a 48" Long Ramp for 2" Hitches, part number MT70106. We already have our carrier installed onto our vehicle, and this does have a 500-pound carrying capacity, and it has mesh flooring both here as well as the ramp, which is going to make it easy to clean. Also, we have these points on the front, back, and side, and that's going to serve as a tie down point for either your ratchet straps or bungee cords when you're putting your wheelchair, or your lawnmower, whatever it is you're hauling. Once you're ready to either unload or load up your wheelchair, you have to lower the ramp first. To do that, you have these pins right here that are holding the braces up to keep it in this position. To take them out, you just remove the pin first, then our clip here, like so. We're actually going to lift it up to this point here, and secure it up here so it doesn't just fly around, and reinsert our clip. We'll do the same on the other side as well. more

MaxxTow Wheelchair Carrier with Ramp Review - 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan- Video
Today on our 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan, we're going to be taking a look at the MaxxTow 30 x 50 wheelchair carrier with a 60-inch-long ramp, for two-inch hitches only, part number MT702460. This is what the carrier's going to look like once it's installed on your vehicle. Right now we have it in the position you would have it if you're actually hauling your wheelchair or whatever it is you're carrying in your carrier. This does have a 500-pound carrying capacity. It has this mesh flooring here, as well as the ramp, and that's going to make it easier to clean. We also have tie-down points all around the cargo carrier for your ratchet straps or your bungee cords. We also have reflectors on the end as well. Let's go ahead and show you how it unfolds. more

Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan- Video
Today on our 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan, we're going to be test fitting the 20x48 Curt cargo carrier for 1.25 in and 2 in hitches, part number C18110. This has a carrying capacity of 300 lbs. We have this nice mesh floor here which is going to make it easier to clean. At the front and around the sides, we have these points here which are going to serve as tie-down points for either your ratchet straps or your bungee cords. The exhaust is going to be on the passenger side of the vehicle and it does face down away from the cargo carrier, and thanks to its raised shank, which is going to improve clearance issues between the cargo carrier itself and the ground, you're not going to have to worry about heat sensitive material once you're loading that up. With it in this position right now, we do have full access to our rear hatch to get anything we need. However, I am going to go ahead and give you a break over point measurement and that's going to be the point where your hatch would come into contact with whatever it is you're hauling. more

Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan c18152- Video
Today on our 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan, we're going to be test fitting the 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches, part number C18152. This has a carrying capacity of 500 pounds. It has this nice mesh floor here which makes it very easy to clean. We also have this rail here, all the way around the cargo carrier, and that can serve as tie-down point for either your ratchet straps or your bungee cords. It does have a raised shank to it, so your clearance will not be an issue, as far as from the cargo carrier to the ground. We do have a tail pipe here on the passenger side, however, it is pointed down, away from the cargo carrier, and thanks to the height of the cargo carrier, you're not going to have to worry about any heat-sensitive materials once you're loading things up. I'm going to go ahead and give you a couple quick measurements now. Starting with the edge of the bumper to our outer edge, we've added about 33" to the rear of the vehicle. more
