MAXXHAUL Hitch Cargo Carrier 53" x 19.5" Black — 2" Receiver, 500 lb Capacity, High Side Rails

The MAXXHAUL 70107 is a heavy-duty 53" x 19-1/2" steel hitch-mounted cargo carrier with high side rails, a 2" receiver fit and a 500-pound distributed load capacity.

Built to free up interior space and haul extra gear, the MAXXHAUL 70107 trailer-mount cargo carrier pairs robust steel construction with a durable black powder coat to resist wear from outdoor use. It bolts together for straightforward assembly and fits standard 2" x 2" hitch receivers found on most trucks, SUVs, vans and cars. The design focuses on secure transport with raised sides to keep luggage, coolers and camping equipment in place during travel.

How much weight and space can this carrier handle?

This carrier supports up to 500 pounds of evenly distributed weight, making it suitable for large loads like coolers, luggage and bulky outdoor gear. The open-grid floor helps drain water and reduces wind resistance while supporting heavy items.

• Maximum distributed capacity: 500 lb
• Outer basket footprint: 53" x 19" x 5" (overall perimeter)
• Inner usable basket: 51" x 17-1/2" x 4-1/2"

Will it fit my vehicle and how does it mount?

The MAXXHAUL 70107 is built to slide into a standard 2" x 2" hitch receiver and secures with a hitch pin and clip (not included). Its universal hitch compatibility makes it straightforward to attach to a wide range of vehicles, from compact cars with a receiver to full-size RVs and pickup trucks.

• Receiver size: 2" x 2" (standard)
• Mount type: drop-in hitch shank with pin hole
• Compatible with: cars, SUVs, vans, trucks, RVs with 2" receivers
• Fast assembly: bolted construction, no specialized tools required for basic installation

What materials and finishes protect the carrier outdoors?

This model is fabricated from heavy-duty steel and finished with a black powder coat to resist rust and abrasion from road use. The welded seams and welded high side rails add structural support and keep loads from shifting off the platform during transit.

• Material: heavy-duty steel for load strength
• Finish: durable black powder coat for weather resistance
• Design detail: high side rails welded to basket for containment
• Floor: open grid reduces pooling and wind drag

How should I secure cargo and maintain the carrier?

Secure items with ratchet straps or bungee cords through the grid floor and over the high rails. Periodic inspection of fasteners and the powder coat will extend service life—touch up chips promptly and remove road grime after long trips.

• Use ratchet straps threaded through the basket for firm restraint
• Check hitch pin tightness before each trip
• Rinse and dry after salt-exposed travel; touch-up paint for chips
• Do not exceed 500 lb distributed capacity; follow vehicle tongue weight limits

Who is this for? The MAXXHAUL 70107 is aimed at drivers who need reliable, low-cost extra cargo capacity for weekend getaways, camping, tailgating or moving bulky items that won’t fit inside the vehicle. It's a practical option for owners of trucks, SUVs, vans and RVs who want a sturdy hitch-mounted platform with raised sides and straightforward installation rather than a rooftop solution.
