Whether you’re going camping or taking a road trip, expanded cargo capacity is almost a necessity. No matter how large your vehicle is, there’s a good chance you can’t fit everything you need when you’re taking a trip, which means leaving some things behind. That’s when cargo carriers are extremely handy, expanding your cargo capacity without impacting the actual interior space of your vehicle.
There are plenty of different cargo carriers out on the market, but hitch-mounted units are convenient and expand your cargo capacity with ease. Designed with practicality in mind, some hitch-mounted cargo carriers even have a foldable design, allowing you to easily store it when it’s not being used. Other products come in the form of a cargo bag, which is great for protecting your contents from weather conditions.
Most cargo carriers can be easily mounted on today’s crossovers, SUVs, and even some passenger vehicles. Naturally you’ll need to make sure your vehicle is equipped with a hitch receiver, and if not, you can outfit nearly any vehicle with an aftermarket offering.
