Hitch Cargo Carrier 60x20x6 with 16 CuFt Waterproof Bag

In this review the Mockins hitch cargo carrier is evaluated as a practical solution for drivers who need reliable extra storage without roof racks or trailers. The package that arrived for testing includes a 60in x 20in x 6in steel folding carrier, a 16 cu ft waterproof bag sized to fit the basket, four stackable packing cubes and a set of straps, stabilizer and lock. The biggest reason to buy is the combination of a sturdy, weatherproof steel carrier that supports up to 500 lbs and a thick vinyl waterproof bag that keeps gear dry and organized on long trips.

Key Features

• Heavy load capacity: The carrier supports up to 500 lbs, making it suitable for bulky gear and heavier loads when towing or road tripping.
• Weatherproof construction: Anti-rust coated steel and a thick all-weather vinyl bag provide corrosion resistance and reliable water protection for stored items.
• Raised shank for clearance: A 2in shank raise improves ground clearance so the carrier rides higher over bumps and uneven terrain.
• Secure containment: Six-inch side rails and reflectors add security and nighttime visibility for transported cargo.
• Organized packing: Four packing cubes stack neatly inside the 16 cu ft bag to separate items and simplify loading and unloading.
• Complete accessory kit: Includes buckle and ratchet straps, a bungee net, hitch stabilizer and a lock to reduce sway and secure the load.

Who It's For

This kit is best for drivers who regularly need extra rear cargo space for camping trips, moving gear, or hauling overflow luggage and who have a 2in receiver hitch. It suits owners of cars, SUVs, trucks or RVs who prefer a hitch-mounted solution over rooftop carriers and value a waterproof soft bag that fits the basket dimensions.

It is less appropriate for vehicles with rear-mounted spare tires or hatches that will not clear an attached basket, since the carrier can interfere with hatch operation. Anyone needing a permanently mounted hard cargo box or those who cannot use a 2in receiver should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Sturdy build and anti-rust coating deliver a durable platform for heavy loads.
• 16 cu ft waterproof bag and thick vinyl construction keep contents dry in wet conditions.
• Included packing cubes and straps make packing, securing and organizing gear straightforward.

Cons

• The carrier may block hatch access or be incompatible with vehicles that have a rear tire or certain hatches.
