Wildroad Hitch Cargo Carrier with Bike Rack 60″ x 24″ x 14″

Product Overview

The Wildroad Hitch Cargo Carrier with integrated Bike Rack is engineered for adventurers, families, and daily commuters who demand both expanded storage and reliable bike transport in a single hitch-mounted system. With a generous 60″ x 24″ x 14″ basket and a robust 500-pound weight capacity, this dual-function carrier adapts seamlessly between cargo hauling and two-bike transport—making it an ideal companion for road trips, weekend getaways, camping excursions, or simply managing heavy gear without overloading your vehicle’s interior.

Constructed from heavy-duty tubular steel and finished with a durable E-coat and carbide black powder coating, the unit resists rust and withstands harsh weather conditions. Its thoughtful design includes a tall 14-inch fence that secures loose items during transit while minimizing exposure to exhaust fumes. Whether you’re loading firewood, coolers, luggage, or outdoor equipment, everything stays contained and protected.

What truly sets this system apart is its dual-mode functionality: switch from cargo carrier to bike rack in minutes using just two bolts. The adjustable bike rack accommodates standard frames, fat-tire mountain bikes, and e-bikes alike—ensuring compatibility across most popular styles. When not in use, the entire assembly folds flat against your hitch receiver, reducing wind resistance and preserving trunk access.

Key Features

• Dual-Mode Versatility: Effortlessly convert between cargo carrier and bike rack modes. Attach the included rack with just two bolts to transform the 60” basket into a secure two-bike carrier. Note: For maximum stability, do not fold the rack or carry additional cargo when transporting bikes.
• Universal Bike Compatibility: Designed to securely hold standard bicycles, fat-tire models (up to 5” wide tires), and electric bikes. Adjustable arms ensure a snug fit across various frame types and sizes.
• Tall Fence Construction: The 14-inch-high reinforced steel fence prevents gear from shifting, blowing away, or falling out during high-speed travel. Perfect for carrying bulky items like coolers, camping tents, or toolboxes.
• Enhanced Ground Clearance: A subtle 5-degree upward angle elevates the cargo bed above curbs, speed bumps, and debris, reducing the risk of scraping. This also improves airflow around the vehicle and helps shield carried items from harmful exhaust gases.
• Sturdy Folding Mechanism: Multiple mounting holes on the spindle create a rock-solid connection to your 2” hitch receiver. When unloaded, the entire unit folds down flush with the hitch bar, saving space and improving aerodynamics.
• Durable Surface Finish: E-coat priming followed by a thick carbide black powder coat delivers long-lasting corrosion resistance, easy cleaning, and a sleek industrial appearance that stands up to salt, rain, and UV exposure.

Benefits & Use Cases

This hitch cargo carrier excels in real-world scenarios where space and flexibility are critical. Imagine loading your SUV with a rooftop tent, cooler, and kitchen supplies—then switching mid-trip to transport two friends’ mountain bikes for trail access. That’s the kind of adaptability this system offers.

For frequent travelers, the tall fence means no more worrying about groceries or camping stoves sliding off during sudden maneuvers. The elevated design keeps delicate electronics safe from road spray and exhaust particulates. Meanwhile, the foldable nature ensures you can still open your trunk fully when the carrier isn’t engaged.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate how quickly they can deploy the bike rack after unloading gear. No extra tools needed—just two bolts, a few seconds, and you’re ready to hit the trail. And because it uses your existing hitch receiver, there’s no need for secondary mounts or permanent modifications to your vehicle.

Families heading to beaches, ski resorts, or national parks benefit immensely from having both cargo space and bike capacity consolidated into one secure, stable platform. Kids’ helmets, surfboards, snowboards—everything finds a safe home without sacrificing passenger room inside.

Important Notes

While the Wildroad Hitch Cargo Carrier supports both functions, always observe operational limits for safety: never attempt to fold the bike rack or add cargo loads while bikes are secured. Doing so may compromise structural integrity and lead to instability during transit.

Verify your vehicle’s hitch meets the 2″ receiver specification before purchasing. Although designed for universal fitment, some aftermarket hitches may require adapter sleeves. If uncertain about compatibility, consult your vehicle manual or contact Wildroad customer support for guidance.

The package includes the main cargo basket, detachable bike rack, hitch tightener, mounting hardware, and clear installation instructions. Assembly typically takes under 30 minutes with basic hand tools.
