MAXXHAUL soft shell cargo carrier bag for hitch — 47in Black, heavy-duty water-resistant 11 cu ft

The MAXXHAUL 70209 soft shell cargo carrier bag is a heavy-duty, water-resistant storage cover that turns a hitch-mounted cargo rack into a secure, 11-cubic-foot transport compartment.

This durable bag fits most 2-inch hitch cargo racks and protects gear from dust, light rain, and road spray while keeping items organized and fastened to the rack. Built from PVC with polyester reinforcement and a UV coating, the bag balances rugged weather resistance with the flexibility to fold flat for compact storage when not in use.

How does this bag hold up against weather and road conditions?

The MAXXHAUL bag is water-resistant—not fully waterproof—designed to shed light rain and road spray while offering UV protection for stored items. Welded seams and a heavy-duty zipper covered by hook-and-loop flaps reduce water entry at common leak points, but users should avoid full submersion or extended exposure to heavy downpours.

• PVC shell with polyester reinforcement and UV coating for durability
• Welded seams to limit water penetration and increase strength
• Zipper protected by hook-and-loop flaps for improved water resistance
• Packaging clarifies the product is water-resistant, not waterproof

Will it fit my hitch cargo rack and how much can it carry?

When deployed the bag measures approximately 47" long x 20" wide x 20" high, which fits many standard hitch-mounted carrier platforms. It offers roughly 11 cubic feet of usable volume—enough for luggage, camping gear, or bulkier items that won’t fit inside your vehicle.

• Assembled dimensions: 47" x 20" x 20" (length x width x height)
• Approximate capacity: 11 cubic feet
• Designed to work with common 2-inch hitch cargo racks

How is the bag secured to the carrier and how safe is my cargo?

Security and retention are handled with eight 1.5" polypropylene tie-down straps that fasten the bag to the rack, keeping it stable during travel. The heavy-duty zipper wraps around three sides for easy loading, and large zipper pull holes let you add a padlock for extra protection.

• (8) 1.5" wide polypropylene straps to anchor the bag to the rack
• Zipper runs around three sides for wide opening and easy packing
• Zipper pull holes accommodate padlocks for added security

How easy is it to store and maintain the MAXXHAUL carrier bag?

The soft-shell design collapses for compact storage when not in use, making it simple to stow in a garage or trunk. Routine care is straightforward—wipe down the exterior, let it dry fully before folding, and inspect straps and seams for wear to extend service life.

• Folds flat for compact storage when empty
• Wipe-clean PVC exterior; air-dry before storing
• Periodic checks of straps, seams, and zipper recommended

Who is this for: The MAXXHAUL 70209 bag is a practical choice for drivers who need extra exterior cargo capacity without a hard-shell trunk or roof box. It’s suited to weekend campers, road-trippers, tradespeople carrying bulky equipment, and anyone who wants to protect gear from light weather while maximizing vehicle interior space. Keep in mind it’s water-resistant rather than waterproof—ideal for protection against spray and light rain, not for full immersion or severe storms.
