Cargo carrier

[baobay]

Hi everyone,
I'm looking to get a cargo carrier that attaches to the hitch. Never had one before. Looking for suggestions and recommendations. Here is a link to one I saw online. http://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Cargo-Carrier/Thule/TH665C.html
Thanks,
George

I always wanted to get one of those. Instead, I just got the box for on top from the dealer. It was a cheaper solution for me, but it sure would be nice to have the access at ground level rather than having to stand on the tire to load up the box on top.

Thule makes nice stuff, but you pay for it. There are a couple of other ones out there that are nice too. Here is a link to one I just about pulled the trigger on: http://www.laguarddog.com/content.asp?CatId=250

The pack-n-rack seems to be a well thought out cargo box. It is most likely heavier to install, but it has a lot of nice features. Being able to put a "huge" cooler on top is a nice added bonus for those of us who travel with familes.

I have a couple of pictures with the box on top of my LR4 if you want to see them.

Hi Rob,
thanks for the reply. I like the Pack n rack system. I'd love to see pics of the box on top of the LR4, but I will most likely get the one that fits on the back.

Here are a couple of them:

I couldn't notice any noise from the box or crossbars.

The box has about 16 cubic feet of storage, which is more than enough for most of our trips. We do have a big trip planned to Moab this summer, so it may finally get filled.
