Looking for a Hitch Cargo Carrier that can hold 600 pounds plus. Needs to be 60" wide. I am ok with dropping some $$$. Anyone have some recommendations?

Just came across quack rack which looks interesting.

+1 on the Pakmule. Ran one on my 4Runnner from FL to NODAK and back last fall and you will forget it’s on the back of your vehicle.

They make a 60" version.

It's really well made...in America.

I had a bunch of deer on it last year, and climbed on top of it and pulled one more up on it by myself before I thought...probably shouldn't a done that. I'm guessing that was 600 lbs plus whatever downward force I was exerting.

Id definitely look at the tongue weight capacity for your vehicle first

Thx. Going to go with a PakMule. Is there much of a difference between the Pro and the original?

Going on a 4runner so good to go with tw.

4Runner tongue weight capacity has pretty consistently been 500lbs through the years.

Will it allow the rear hatch to open when it's installed?

They do make one that you can swing out of the way as well

I’ve heard good things about the PakMules but don’t own one. Interest in which route you take and to hear your review on it

I think the new pro is a revised original with slightly different dimensions so it can be shipped UPS/FedEx. If you email Kansas, the owner, he’ll get right back to you with more info.

I have the original on my 4Runner.

Yep, you just want to make sure that anything taller than a yeti 35 or so is loaded to the front of the rack, otherwise it gets caught.

I’ve had mine loaded up with three bikes and coolers + hard gear for a camping trip and just had to use the rear window to access anything in the trunk. Annoying but could be worse.

Had a welder friend make me one. He hauls a cord of wood with his. Cost me a cpl hundred.
