I use upside down from picture with a carrier when I use the carrier and it allows room to open the SUV gate if stuff not to high. Also use as a drop to level the trailer. Only downside is it sticks out when nothing onit.

Yep but I wouldn't travel 3000 miles with it on top, maybe on the bottom, my only complaint with this thing is it sticks out way too far from the bumper and will eventually bend.

You probably could. I would be careful about the overall arm rotational weight of the setup. I would also consider having a wiggle limiting device installed to prevent vibration amplification from loose fitting devices in the receivers. I would keep everything as ridged as possible.

The hitch extension is plenty strong to handle that type of weight. It would really depend on your reciever and hitch on your vehicle. Hope this helps.

Hi there, I actually bought this piece but hired a welder to modified it, because I need it for connecting a metal basket to get more space on my Sentra. I think the maximum weight allow is like 500 pounds, 120 pounds should be ok in weight for the hitch because is pretty strong constructed.

Hello Richard. If you have a tow package / receiver tube on your vehicle then you can set up the carrier. Please keep in mind, the hitch sits lower to the ground than the vehicle making the carrier closer to the ground. Depending on weight and roads, the carrier may bottom out. There are hitch extensions available that slide into the receiver and come up the back of the vehicle to add height. We do not currently sell these but there are some available online and many hardware stores, such as harbor freight, do carry them. Another thing to be aware of is the weight capacity of the receiver on your vehicle. We hope this answer helps you. Thank you Sarah LocksChocksTieDowns. com 856-374-4740

The cargo carrier clamps onto the 2 rectangular bars that go across the roof which are ajustable. The bars are part of a seperate roof rack. I am not familiar with your vehicle.

The hitch on my civic has 200 pound limit. The rack is about 40, so that leaves 160 or so cargo capacity. I had 150 on it without problems. I love the rack.

The product description says it will handle up to 15 lbs. I LOVE this carrier.

4 5/16 inches Heavy duty enough to carry my cargo carrier, but I would question the safety of pulling a heavy trailer in top opening.

Not quite sure I understand the question but I drop my light trailer down 8 1/2" and in the top slot I put an upright bicycle rack. 200 pounds is way within the capabilities of this very strong hitch. I have a heavy duty F-250 and this will handle my horse trailer or my boat with ease. This will handle anything a Chevy Sonic could possibly pull.

I'm not certain how much it weighs. It's heavy and unwieldy due to the trailer hitch tongue. I'm totally satisfied with the carrier. I generally slide it over to the car when I am going to use it. If you need exact weight+ I would contact manufacturer.

We only used it for carrying pole vault poles which are not as heavy as a cargo carrier could get. A cargo carrier also will present more wind resistance and forces associated with that resistance as a function of how fast your are driving. I would consider installing a tow hitch followed by a metal basket that mounts in the tow hitch. This would be easier to load up and won't damage your roof.http://www.jcwhitney.com/curt-class-iii-receiver-hitchesfor-use-with-small-campers-boathorse-trailers/p2011910.jcwx?filterid=c2309d2171u0j1

If you are using a Trailer Hitch style carries as shown in the photo it should be fine. If you are putting it on your roof rack you will need full support under it. I drive a Chevy Traverse and have a carrier that is 60" wide. This thing is made of heavy material and plenty waterproof, but it doesn't have a support system of its own.

Right offhand, I'd say you'd better do some measuring. Width is OK. You want to make sure you have 2" clearance between crossbar and roof of your double cab Tacoma. Mounting brackets will need this clearance. Your OEM rack is rated for 75 lb. This cargo basket weighs between 25 and 30 lb. by itself. This will give you only 50 lb. carrying capacity at best. Not much. Toyota's rack is mostly good for skis or a bicycle. Not made to handle much weight. Good luck. It is a pretty good quality cargo basket. I have mine on Rhino Rack Aero bars. Rated for much more weight.

This cargo carrier comes with a strap that is long enough to put over the top of bikes to keep them secure. I have not tried to haul bikes with mine yet, but I think the strap it comes with would be sufficient.

I don't think the top receiver can handle the weight. It works fine to pull a trailer and a bike rack on top.

This is what the installation manual says: "Distribute the weight of the cargo evenly, and do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 75kg (165lbs)"

I put the hitch carrier on a Lexus RX350. It is level to the ground. It does have a small wiggle but otherwise sufficient to carry plenty of gear for a day at the beach or pier. I did not use the anti-tilt attachment.

Absolutely...as long as your vehicle and hitch are rated for that tongue weight.

No, just make sure you have a 2" receiver on your vehicle to accommodate the cargo carrier
