Trailer Hitch Cargo Rack Recommendations

[Tychon]

Anyone love or hate their hitch mounted cargo rack? I think I like this Pakmule one, but I could be convinced otherwise. I just know as soon as I buy it someone is going to tell me about one just like it for half the money so I figured I would ask the forum.

A grand for a hitch rack seems awfully expensive. I just use a cheapo from Quadratec which does as well as I could hope for. Only thing I would say is go aluminum over steel. Much easier to lift and store. Also on the JL you won’t be able to open the tailgate with the rack installed.

I use the elcheapo from Quadratec. Trash, compost, firewood, luggage; I work it pretty hard and its held up well in 3+ years. Plus it comes with a dry bag.

Pakmule looks great but too much $$ for me.

I have this one from walmart. $99. Ive hauled all kinds of crap on it. I did buy a 6” hitch extension otherwise my spare tire takes up half the room on the rack. Hauled stuff on 1k+ mile trips, mountains, you name it.

I have a similar one to somedudu922 from harbor freight, similar price too. Keep in mind the weight limit vs your tow hitch limit. That weight is hanging off pretty good and you will notice it.
