Stromberg Carlson Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2015 Jeep Patriot- Video

Today on our 2015 Jeep Patriot, we've got the Stromberg Carlson 23 by 60 Cargo Carrier out and we're test fitting it. This cargo carrier can support up to 500-lbs and it's been designed for use in 2" hitches. The part number on it is CC-100. This carrier's going to offer a pretty large size expanded steel floor. Rocks, chunks of mud, things like that, should fall right down and through without building up on our carrier. See we've also got a raised edge that goes around the outside, it's going to be about 2-3/4" high. It's going to give us great areas here to secure our gear once we've got it loaded up, and also some license plate relocation holes, that way if we have our license plate blocked, we can move that back and stay legal. Looks like the carrier gives us about 9-1/2" worth of ground clearance there on the backside. more

MaxxTow Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2015 Jeep Patriot- Video

Today on our 2015 Jeep Patriot, we're test fitting the MaxxTow 21 by 48 Aluminum cargo carrier. This cargo carrier will hold up to 500 pounds and it's been designed for use with 2 inch hitches. The part number is MT70422. This is a very sturdy yet light-weight cargo carrier, really easy to handle. If weight is an issue, I would definitely recommend this carrier. It's really easy to get in there, and another great thing about it, it doesn't take up a whole lot of room. In the stored configuration if you will, or if you just had this up against your wall, only looking at about 5 and 1/4 inches in total width there so it's not going to stick out from the wall very far. more

Now this cargo carrier will support up to 500 pounds and it's also been designed for use in 2 inch hitches, part # on it is C18151. This cargo carrier is going to give us a nice sturdy, kind of small hole opening of expanded steel there. It should give plenty of room for dirt and debris to fall down and through without letting it build up on top. Also with the smaller holes we're going to have great support on those smaller items. It's got a raised rail that's going to go all the way around the outside. It's about 5 1/2 inches high. more

Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2015 Jeep Patriot C18150- Video

Today on our 2015 Jeep Patriot, we've got out the Curt 20 by 60 Cargo Carrier. We're doing a test fit of it. This cargo carrier will carry 500 pounds and it's been designed for use in 2-inch hitches. The part number on it is C18150. Now the Curt carrier has kind of a medium to small size expanded steel floor so it's going to give you great support for smaller items but also allows for that dirt and debris and stuff like that to fall down and through. You have that nice raised rail, goes all the way around the outside. It's about 5 and 1/2 inches tall, gives us good front to back and side to side support for our gear when it's loaded up and also provide for some attachment points so we can get everything strapped down nicely. It looks like it's going to haul 00:00:51 for us about 13 and 3/4's of an inch worth of ground clearance. more

Curt 24x60 Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2012 Jeep Patriot- Video

Today on our 2012 Jeep Patriot we're doing a test fit of the Curt 24 x 60 Folding Cargo Carrier, part number C18153. This cargo carrier has a 500 pound weight capacity and is designed to work with 2 inch hitches. The first thing I'll do is take a few measurements. The ground clearance is first; we've got about 15-1/2 inches here. That's because we have this nice raised shank in the back that's going to lift that carrier up even higher than the ground. Overall we're adding about 38-3/4 inches to the vehicle, and our closest point is going to be about 13 inches back here. On our Patriot we have a single passenger side exhaust. It comes below the carrier, but it does come straight out. more
