 Wide 60" Cargo Rack - Great Price / Good Quality Nov 20, 2009
I selected the Valley 90590 Deluxe Hitch Mounted Basket Cargo Carrier for two reasons: (First) I liked the 60" width compared to most others that were between 48 and 56 inches. This will allow for hauling my Rear Tine Tiller in the summer and other long items. Along with the width was the high 6" railing that will contain almost everything I would place or tie down onto the carrier. (Second) the price...I couldn't built any cheaper ($99.95 + Free Delivery) are you kidding me! The quality is great for the price. All the welds are nice and the paint (pretty sure its powder coated) should hold up well. I'll add some extra reflectors and maybe some miniature running a stoplamps to dress it out...Ok maybe not...but it would look pretty cool!
Assembly was like butter...if you cant thread together about a 10 bolts...uhhhh then learn how ... or just go to U-Haul and buy a cheezy one for like 3 times as much!
Installation: It weighs about 50+ pounds....and well, you gotta have some strength to put this puppy into the receiver. For those that might this is a heavy one..think again, it's about the lightest steel (60" wide) carrier you can get. If it's too heavy, then find something like and old milk create to prop up the back end and then lift the tougne end up and slide it into the hitch. This way you're only lifting a portion of the overall weight. The fit will always be a little loose so you may want use a locking bolt that pulls the tongue against the side of the receiver hole so the load doesn't bang back and forth.
I also picked up the cargo net for like $12 + (free shipping) just in case I have some loose stuff in the carrier.
Overall, a great Cargo Carrier for the price.
I'll be enjoying mine!
Valley Hitch Carrier Nov 16, 2009
I bought this for my 2004 Toyota Highlander. By reading other reviews, I was worried that the carrier would be loose in my hitch and I would need to buy a silent hitch pin but so far no such problems. It is snug and I don't even notice on the back of the car.
 Bad parts Nov 14, 2009
My mistake was being too trusting when I received an obviously repackaged unit. When I went to open three weeks later in preparation for a trip, I found a manufacturing defect by which Step 1 of assembly could not be accomplished because of mismatched ends. The unit had obviously been returned previously, and instead of being culled, was simply repackaged and sent back out. Highly irritating. The packaging was so tight that the box could not be reused, and the time/effort/expense of a return was not worth it to me. I will go buy local or from another company that is hopefully more trustworthy.
Fits perfectly & Easy to Install Nov 05, 2009
This Hitch cargo basket fits perfectly and installs easily on my Jeep Commander. They feel very strong ans sturdy. I highly recommend it.
This cargo carrier is just what I needed Nov 03, 2009
I drive an SUV and needed a way to get smelly tall garbage cans to the dump every ten days or so. The unit is well made and at less than a hundred bucks along with free shipping made it a done deal for me. Very happy with the deal.
