Thule Hitch Cargo Carriers
Thule Racks makes two hitch mounted cargo carriers that provide waist-level access to your gear. Thule cargo carriers come in two styles and plug directly into your vehicle's trailer hitch. Hitch cargo carriers are known for their rectangular design, providing functional storage space that fits everything from suitcases to coolers. Thule car cargo carriers also come in tilt-down or swingaway designs, allowing access to your vehicle's rear cargo area.
More information about Thule Hitch Cargo Carriers
A Thule hitch mounted cargo carrier is generally designed for use with a Class III or above trailer hitch. Thule does make one model of the Thule Transporter that fits a Class II trailer hitch. It is very important when using car cargo carriers that you always respect your vehicle's towing weight capacities. Due to their weight (plus the weight of the gear they carry), it is possible that a hitch cargo carrier can place undue stress on your vehicle's frame. However, assuming you keep your maximum gear weight under Thule's recommendation of 165 pounds, you should have no problem whatsoever.
