It's going to be designed to work with 2-inch hitches and have a capacity to hold up to 500 pounds. For the first measurement, we're going to take the ground clearance here. From the bottom of this bolt, we're going to have about 14-1/2 inches in ground clearance here. Overall to the truck, we're adding about 28 inches at the back and our closest point is going to be about 4-1/2 inches there. Now, on our truck, we do have a single passenger side exhaust, but with most trucks, it does come out to the side here, so you shouldn't have to worry about carrying any heat-sensitive materials on your cargo carrier. The last thing we'll check is going to be our hatch clearance, the tailgate overhang. We got about 13-3/4 inches of clearance there, but you're also covering about 13-3/4 inches of the carrier, so just be aware that if you do plan on stacking materials that very high on your carrier that you may come in contact with that tailgate at some point. Now we have a hitch-pinning clip holding in this cargo carrier, but the hitch-pinning clip is not included. more
