Review: Awesome! - Simple to put together and very sturdy. We were able to fit (4) large luggage bags and (2) kids luggage bags as well. We did purchase the net as an extra precaution but the rack itself was easy to put together and install on our tow hitch. It has definitely come in handy for road trips and camping trips. Review: Very reliable!!! Never knew it was there. - Traveled over 1,000 miles and never even knew this thing was attached. I did add a stabilizer kit for 15$. Was easy to take off once we reached our destination and then put back on to head home. Love it. Held 5 large suitcases easily along with a few other bags and a tool kit. We laid a black tarp down inside first and then put in all of our luggage, folded the tarp over and tucked in the sides and covered with a small cargo net (got on desertcart, stretch distance between ropes was 3inches) that we hooked to the it with carabiner hooks. I mean- we had no trouble what so ever. It was an awesome trip, with lots of comfort and leg room for everyone. My vehicle is a 2016 GMC Yukon. Once installed you cannot open the entire back door, but can open the window for access easily. I LOVE this thing. We incurred rain during our drive and still no problems. I am not seeing rust as some other reviews read. Thinking that may be because of where or how they have stored it, but just guessing. I currently have it in an outside storage room and it still looks great. Although my son did most of the work, I could easily install this myself. It is a little heavy, but once you pick it up and insert it in the hitch, the hard work is done. I also bought a locking pin, instead of a regular one, there is NO pin included and I added some reflectors, although you don't necessarily need them. Overall this thing is Totally worth every dollar paid. These are the items that I added - all bought on desertcart.

Which is correct?** A: When built and opened ready to use it is 60" long by 20 inches wide by 15 inches tall the tall drops to roughly 5 inches when you fold down the railings.The 33 x 21 x 5.5 is the shipping size when in the card board box **Q: What are the height dimensions when totally collapsed?** A: It will rust and be unusable before you collapse it **Q: I want to put a deck box (17.4in width) inside this, some sites say the box is 17.7 in. Is there enough play in the fence for 17.7 to fit?** A: I just measured mine and I have 17.2 inches of clearance between the cage walls. And that's an exact on mine. No room for even a finger. Hope this helps. **Q: What can of hitch a should have for this if a have a Toyota Sienna 2018?** A: Not sure what you mean. But I have a standard hitch with 2 inch receiver on my 2017 Pilot and it works perfect. I hope this helps! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome! *by V***A on December 30, 2018* Simple to put together and very sturdy.

Considering what I paid for it, it was what I expected. Took about 10 minutes to put it together. What you need to keep in mind with this is depending on your vehicle your exhaust might be blowing back on this, so you will need to deal with that by either fabricating a heat shield, or getting a hitch riser. I actually went to home depot and purchased 2 pieces of sheet metal and then said to hell with it and took them back and got the riser. It was cheaper and fixed the other thing that was bothering me, distance to the ground. I didn't want to worry about pulling out of a parking lot and having this drag/potentially break if the angle was too much. So will give an update after my trip on how it faired. Also if you purchase this, make sure you get a hitch stabilizer/tightener. Depending on your car any minor clink is going to travel up your frame and sound like bad stuff is happening back there. Plus the stabilizer will extend the life of everything. Things banging around never lead to something positive in life. Build quality on this is about what I expected, it is light weight, if it fairs well I will update the paint job to ensure I get more life out of it. Update: I have used this 2 times for trips to Florida and it has performed great. I keep it in the garage when not in use and still looks brand new. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/29706250-erickson-07496-cargo-carrier-with-sides-folding-500-lb-rated](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/29706250-erickson-07496-cargo-carrier-with-sides-folding-500-lb-rated) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
