etrailer Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500- Video
Clayton: Hey everyone, Clayton here at etrailer.com, and today we'll be taking a look at the etrailer Aluminum Cargo Carrier for our 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500. You might be asking yourself, why do I need a cargo carrier if I have a truck A lot of times, coolers and other things will take up a lot of room and we can get those out of our bed and onto our cargo carrier. And if we're using something tall, and we have a tonneau cover, we can put it back here and it'll go higher than it will if we had a tonneau cover. Although this cargo carrier is made out of aluminum, it still has a nice 500 pound weight capacity, so that's going to be plenty of weight to get anything we might want to take with us on the back of our truck. One thing I like about this cargo carrier is the shape of all of our support beams, it's really easy to get a tie down strap around and secure any of our luggage.Our cargo carrier, the actual usable space, is going to be 58 inches long, 20 and a half inches wide, and six inches deep. Another measurement you want to keep in mind is a measurement from the ground to the back of our cargo carrier. more

A lot of the times you get a thinner material in the floors of your cargo carriers and sometimes they flex with heat or with weight. This one, I'm very confident in saying that it won't be doing that. more
