Hitch Racks: The Basics

Are you thinking about adding a hitch cargo rack to your vehicle? Ask yourself these questions:
-- Do you need more storage space while travelling?
-- Do you have big, bulky items you would like to keep out of your vehicle?
-- Are you looking for an inexpensive alternative to a roof carrier?
If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, a hitch rack might be just the solution you are after.
Hitch racks are some of our best-selling products because:
-- They are affordable! Prices start at $79 and run up to $360. That means, even the most expensive hitch rack is about the same price as the cheapest roof carrier.
-- They are easy to use. Hitch racks assemble in minutes and can be attached to your vehicle's trailer hitch in a matter of seconds.
-- They offer loads of capacity. Depending on your hitch setup, hitch racks can support up to 500 pounds of gear. We recommend you keep it to around 200 pounds for maximum safety. Most roof rack setups won't allow more than 150 pounds or so.
Selecting a Hitch Rack
The easiest way to select a hitch rack is to decide: are you looking for an entry-level hitch rack (one that will get the job done) or a fully-featured hitch rack (one that higher-end but more expensive features and styling).
-- Entry-level hitch racks should cost less than $150.
-- Fully-featured hitch racks can run up to roughly $350.

A Few Final Hitch Rack Considerations
-- Cargo Bags are one of our most popular accessory items. They allow you to protect your great from the elements. Be sure to match the cargo bag to the hitch rack for the right fit.
-- Side Rails are great for carrying items like coolers or suitcases. However, if you're trying to haul a lawn mower, the side rails might get in the way.
--
StowAway2 Swingaway Cargo Racks are a great investment if you are looking for a more versatile hitch rack solution. They will ensure that you do not need to unload your rack to access your vehicle's trunk.
