Mockins 60x24x14 High Rail Trailer Hitch Cargo Carrier - 500 lb

In this review of the Mockins 60x24x14 High Rail Trailer Hitch Cargo Carrier, the verdict is straightforward: this is a purpose-built hitch basket for anyone who regularly hauls bulky or irregular loads and wants a secure, weatherproof solution. The standout reason to buy is the extra-tall 14 in side rails that more than double standard containment height, which makes it much easier to carry tall coolers, camping gear, or bulky boxes without constant retying. The package also bundles a 30 cu.ft. waterproof cargo bag and accessories that make it a complete travel-ready system.

Key Features

• 14 in High Side Rails: Extra-tall rails provide superior containment for irregular or tall cargo, reducing the risk of items shifting during travel.
• 60x24 in XL Basket: A large platform gives ample room for luggage, camping equipment, or building supplies to free up interior vehicle space.
• 500 lb Weight Capacity: Heavy-duty construction supports substantial loads so users can carry heavier items without worry.
• Weatherproof Steel Construction: Durable, weatherproof steel resists the elements for longer service life and reliable on-road performance.
• 30 cu.ft. Waterproof Bag: The included cargo bag with a waterproof zipper and flap keeps gear dry and protected from rain and road spray.
• Complete Accessory Set: Comes with a stabilizer, hitch lock, ratchet straps, cargo net and a combo-lock bag to secure and minimize sway.

Who It's For

The Mockins high rail cargo carrier is ideal for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and tradespeople who need extra exterior storage that can handle heavy and awkward loads. Those who carry camping gear, multiple suitcases, coolers, or construction materials will appreciate the XL platform and tall rails for containment.

It is less suitable for drivers who prioritize a lightweight, ultra-compact carrier or who rarely carry large loads; the basket is substantial in weight and size, so city drivers with tight parking or infrequent hauling needs may prefer a smaller, lighter hitch tray.
