Pro Series makes this sturdy, hitch-mounted cargo carrier. The Rambler lets you free up your vehicle’s interior space for additional passengers and pets. The mesh bottom helps to contain small items, and provides an even support base for odd-shaped gear.
The side rails are 5.5” high, which keeps the cargo in place, but doesn’t take up a lot of space when stored. It has open side rails to easily attach tie-down straps and bungie cords. The Rambler’s spacious 60” x 24” basket holds up to 500 lbs. The contoured shank adds extra ground clearance, which makes turning onto steep driveways and ramps easier.
The extra height also helps keep the cargo basket away from the vehicle’s exhaust pipe. It has a sporty, black powder-coated finish is scratch- and weather-resistant.
