MaxxHaul 80779 50" x 29.5" Trailer Hitch Mount Aluminum Cargo Carrier With High Side Rails With 47" Ramp For RV's, Trucks, SUV's, Vans, Cars - 500 lb. Capacity

This hitch is like adding an extra set of muscles to your rig—solid, no-nonsense support that makes hauling feel downright effortless. I slid my old rack off and clicked this one in seconds, and right away I could tell it wasn’t messing around. Whether I’m carting lumber, bikes, or a mountain of camping gear, it stays rock-steady with zero wobble.What really sells it is the build quality—thick steel, flawless welds, and a finish that laughs off scratches and rust. Even after a mud-caked weekend in the backwoods, a quick rinse and it looks good as new. And sizing is spot-on, so you don’t waste time fiddling with fits or second-guessing your setup. If you need a hitch you can trust on every trip, this thing’s your go-to workhorse.

This item showed up late Thursday night, a day early! The deliveryman was awesome! The item was everything it said it was! Very little trouble putting it together! The item is very well built and looks great! I bought some nylon washers to put between the steel receiver frame and the body of the carrier. You should never put steel and aluminum together, as steel will rot out aluminum. This product is well worth the money!

First off, you CAN make this so the ramp goes on the drivers side, which if you're moving a snowblower is what you want to do. Trying to load or unload into the snowbank on the side of the road is a bad idea. Also as someone else mentioned you should go buy two clevis pins and replace the bottom bolts in the ramp with them, now the ramp will fold nearly flat by removing the bottom pins and folding it on the top pins.Pros: Quite sturdy, though I wouldn't stand on it while loading anything. Assembly means you can put it together the way you like. Pretty light.Cons: The box was so full of aluminum filings it was mind boggling. Aluminum burrs across all metal surfaces that were drilled. Box contents were almost enough to build it (box was short a couple of bolts and a few were the wrong ones), instructions are a joke. Technically says "Max speed 55 MPH" but seemed unphased with a snowblower on it doing 70 on the interstate. Tie down eye bolts are flimsy at best. Takes an eternity to bolt together (over 75 small bolts to assemble).I know the cons list is longer than the pros list but it does the job with minimal fuss and the price is right. I have it on the back of a full size truck.

I used this carrier to haul my fishing cart as it has become difficult for me to lift it into my truck and it took up room inside. Well made, lightweight and was able to assemble by myself in about 1 hour. Box was a bit damaged from shipping but no damage to the carrier. All parts were included and instructions were pretty good. The size was a perfect fit for my cart and when the ramp is down, I can still access the back of my truck. It was a bit more than what I wanted to spend but now that it is in operation, works great and is a major help on my frequent fishing trips.

My brother and I were able to put this together in about an hour, but only 4 stars because no tools were included, and the instructions were not very clear. But when we took it layer by layer, it went together easily. I bought star lock washers to add to the structural nuts and bolts for some added stability, although the locking nuts may have been enough. I love the extra safety features: the reflectors AND the stabilizer bar that makes the carrier ride "rock solid." My brother was very impressed with my purchase, and the local Home Depot workers admired the carrier, taking photos to compare with their own carrier with which they were less than pleased. A fantastic value. I am very happy with my purchase.

Fairly easy to assemble. Loads of screws. Plan on at least an hour for this. Use a ratchet and screwdriver to make the task quicker. Base is steel. Tray and ramp are aluminum. It is large and awkward for one person to handle. It's not so much the weight but the size that may require 2 people to insert into your receiver. I use it to haul a push lawn mower. It works great. I have a utility trailer, but this is faster way to move smaller items without the hassle of towing a trailer. Definitely worth the money. I'm glad I have it.

Sometimes you make a good buy and sometimes you don't. Sometimes you make an EXCELLENT buy and I rate my MAXXHAUL 80799 as one of those! I researched this purchase hard before pulling the trigger because I knew it would be very hard to return. I have loved this carrier ever since I finished the (somewhat tedious) job of assembling it. I originally bought this carrier because I have a very long driveway and I have to get multiple garbage bins out to the street every Sunday night and back to the house every Monday morning. Walking those bins out was a nonstarter! I wanted/needed the ramp so that I didn't have to lift anything up onto the carrier platform. This product has exceeded all expectations in that regard. A few hacks: I have not affixed the ramp permanently; like other reviewers have suggested, I bought longer cotter pins from Home Depot and I simply insert those when I need to attach the ramp. (Note: attaching the ramp to the carrier AFTER inserting the carrier into my car hitch receiver makes it much easier for me (70 years old) to lift the carrier up for installation. And, obviously, taking the ramp off before removing the platform, makes it much easier to remove.) Using the longer cotter pins makes it super easy to attach and detach the ramp. After several months of successful use of the carrier for the 100 yard trip up and down my driveway, I decided to give the carrier its FINAL EXAM. My girlfriend and I have just returned from a 15-day, 11 state, 3,500 mile road trip and the cargo carrier rode the Interstate Highways at 85 mph like a freaking champ. Of course, I bolted down HARD the anti-wobble plate for that trip (I don't use the plate when I'm on my driveway). We packed all sorts of stuff on the carrier and secured it all quite simply using bungie cords that looped through the 4 metal eye-hole loops that screw on to the carrier platform. I super strongly recommend this product.
