trailer hitch cargo carrier

I have a steel one and use it a lot. But I have a Nissan Frontier. On short weekend trips I use it. If you wants lights , magnetic tow lights work great on them and you can use the lights for other things.

I made a steel one, big enough that I could haul a motorcycle on. It is really handy for hauling big bulky stuff like coolers and totes, and if you can’t fit all your stuff in the vehicle it can save you from towing a trailer.

I was kinda thinking of it as a tail gate, I sit on my truck tail gate all the time, or up on the tool box.

I sit on mine to take my waders off. I have also used it for a cook top on little outings.

I have a steal one I only use when hunting. It is preaty heavy, if I was going to do it again I would buy the aluminum one with the 4-6 in. sides. They hold just as much.

I also have a steel version.  And I also use it primarily for hunting trips.  It can hold a lot of weight and makes a good step up when I take my little truck camper and leave it on the truck.  It's really nice for a humongous cooler full of ice.    Makes it a little easier to remove when you get to camp.

MadMax,

Just an FYI.  I was going to do the same with my travel trailer but the dealer strongly advised against it.  Apparently those bumpers aren't really built to handle a lot of cantilevered weight.  At least that's what he claimed.  I haven't consulted the manufacturer yet.

I also looked into it and it's a bad idea, the frames aren't meant for weight bouncing around out there.  I think it should hold a small genny, but you could also just put the generator above the propane tanks up front.  They got some neat little stands for that.

Been thinking of adding one to my bed extender so I could carry a big cooler and my yaks.

Been using a home made one for years, they are great to have if you have a SUV.

Looks like that leased property that all those Old Wa boys hunt down by Decker.

They make and sell bumper reinforcement things because of this...
