Guide Gear Small ATV UTV Utility Trailer, Hitch Cargo Carrier, Truck Camping, Aluminum

I am a 63 year old woman. It took me one hour to put this together. Might have been less time had I not poured myself a glass of wine first. My advice: throw away the cheap tools that they include in the box. All you need is a small crescent wrench and a pair of pliers...makes the job so much easier! Also, I am impressed with the quality of this carrier. It's definitely heavy duty.

This rack is very well made and is easy to assemble. The nuts and bolts are high quality as well. The rack has about a 5" rise which really helps when placing behind an ATV. The only thing I want to mention is that the rack is actually larger than the product description. The assembled rack is 48" wide, 19" deep, and the depth of the railing is 5". For me, this is a plus as the rack is same width as my Polaris Sportsman ATV.

Excellent Product. I just got this for the occasional bag or two of mulch or topsoil, and maybe for a camping trip if needed. This is an excellent product and even bad reviews can be helpful. For example there is a little too much between the bolts and holes at the angled hitch connection. I simply took a little aluminum sheeting and some tin snips, and made a half round shim that I inserted into the hold prior to inserting the bolt. It took a little extra time, but my cargo carrier will have a more solid feel and will not sag. My two reasons for getting this product was the angled bar that lifts the carrier, and the fact that it is aluminum. I am not likely to carry more than 80 lbs with it anyway, so 300 lbs is more than sufficient. My hitch receiver is below the bumper, so having a raised carrier is a must.One minor gripe is that the product info on Amazon states that this can be used by SUVs, but the product itself has a label that states that it is only for off road ATV use. My guess is that it is for liability purposes, and because the product does not have lights or reflectors. Rest assured, if it can handle off road use, it will be fine for most other purposes.

Excellent product. It has an aluminum frame with a steel center support that is 2" OD steel tube powder coated gray. Assembly was easy. Put the 2 U shaped aluminum pieces on first that hold the two halves together and get the bolts started. Then put the 4 bolts that attach the two sides to the steel tube and and start the nuts on the bolts. Then tighten up the bolts in the u channel and finally tighten the bolts attaching it to the steel center support. It only weighs about 20 to 22 lbs. The U channel pieces do have slightly sharp edges so if you have a file or some sand paper I filed the edges smooth before assembly. It comes with the 5/8 hitch pin. The only reasons for the 4 stars is that the description describes an "anti-wobble" but there is nothing to stop wobbling. So if it's a concern pick up an anti wobble device for 13 to 20 dollars. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DOJGD2M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1And secondly because of the rough edges the two U channel pieces. I would give 4 1/2 stars because for the money this is excellent. Aluminum so no rusting. No powder coated steel frame that will ultimately chip, scratch and rust. If the description didn't mention anti-wobble technology It would be 5 stars.My application was a little custom. It's on a dune buggy/sand rail. I also added the 1/4" eye bolts around perimeter. I'm well aware that doing so voids any kind of warranty and probably lowers it's maximum capacity by some small percentage. Not a concern for me. Just need to be able to hold a couple gas cans, maybe a lunch type cooler or something.

I love it. I use it on the back of a small SUV, and I ditched my larger, heavier steel cargo hauler for this one and am so glad I did. not only is it light weight and strong, I love that it is aluminum, not painted. My painted steel cargo hauler that this one replaced looks rusted and dumpy after just a few years, but this one will never rust or fade.

I Carry yard tools around with my golf cart and this does great

First, this thing is well made and goes together in a matter of minutes. I had to re drill two holes on each of the U-channel braces that go on top of the rack, one each, front and back. Not a huge problem, but annoying. For this only, I gave it three stars.Now, for the "but". If you're ordering this for an ATV, make sure the rear suspension will handle back weight. I have a Honda Rancher, 350. A 60 pound bale of hay really dropped the rack to within inches of the ground. This isn't a flaw in the rack, but rather, the rear suspension of my ATV is too soft. So, I'll either try to return it or sell it. It comes from Sportsman Guide, not directly through Amazon. No idea how the return will go.Since I wrote the above review, I contacted Sportsman Guide asking about returning the carrier. Within two hours of sending my email to them, I received the return authorization and prepaid ground mailing label. Folks, that is customer service.

Really like this easy to install strong enough for our portable Honda water pump use it to haul wood. Great value
