Ideal for road trips or camping, it attaches securely to your tow hitch, making it easy to transport large or awkward items while maintaining trunk access.

Benefits of using a hitch cargo box

Choosing a hitch cargo box comes with numerous advantages. One of the primary benefits is that it keeps your roof free for other gear, such as bikes, kayaks, or skis. This allows for greater flexibility in how you use your vehicle's storage. Another advantage is that hitch cargo racks are easier to load and unload since they are positioned closer to the ground. This feature is especially helpful when dealing with heavy or bulky items. Furthermore, a tow hitch rack does not affect the aerodynamics of your vehicle as much as a roof box might, which is particularly beneficial for maintaining fuel efficiency.

 

Features to look for in a hitch cargo box

When selecting a hitch cargo carrier, consider the load capacity and size to ensure it meets your specific needs. Look for carriers with sturdy construction, typically made from high-strength steel, and weather-resistant coatings to protect against the elements. Some models are foldable, allowing them to be tucked away when not in use. Another essential feature is a tilt function, which lets you access your vehicle's trunk without having to remove the carrier. Additionally, consider hitch cargo racks with integrated locks to secure your gear and prevent theft.
