Looking for recommendations on hitch mount baskets. With three dogs and the wife, no room for ice chest and beach chairs.
Hitch mount cargo basket
- Thread starter Texas-TJ
- Start date
I have and used the HF basket mounted both front and rear (I added a hitch receiver to the front on my JKs). I was very happy with it. I just added a Bestop over tire cargo basket so the HF basket is sitting in the shed unused but if I were going hitch mounted, I would do HF again.

We bought a used one for $40 and it’s quite possibly the best $40 we have spent on the Jeep.
We even use it on our JKU when we tailgate, camp, etc.
It’s been loaded down with a pretty heavy stack of firewood and it has never been anything but reliable.

I made mine, better than anything on the market and cheaper too... I can carry a lot of weight and no anchor, since it goes up as soon as it clears the spare tire..

I’ve got the same rack & I love it! I even put some reflector tape on mine similar to yours. I think it cost somewhere close to $40.00 & I was able to use a coupon.
Bought a rack that is hinged so it can be folded upright against the spare tire. Can leave it hinged up when not in use and not fear someone tripping over it in a parking lot or forgetting it’s back there and crunching something. A bit of a pita to have to hinge down to open tailgate but a lot less effort than removing and reattaching a fixed rack

I have this one that folds up. https://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Cargo-Carrier/Reese/6502.html
My go-to barter is a six of Sam Adams Cherry Wheat and a bag of Dorito's Nacho Cheese. But pizza and breadsticks would work too...
