Review on 🚚 Optimock Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier: 60” X 20” X 6” Steel Cargo Basket with 500 Lbs Hauling Capacity, Convenient Folding Arm to Save Space by Warrick Dembo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very nice until it got wet the first time and then started weeping like rust

The product came a few days earlier than planned at a fair price. A simple assembly search showed me a two minute assembly and installation video from the manufacturer, very easy. The product was as listed, looked good and saved a lot of space for a week long hike with 2 fridges and 1 cooler bag. The luggage net, straps and stabilizer are all pluses and the trailer didn't rattle noticeably. The flex in the support beam was nice as it was easy to drive flush with the cab stem and park over/over curbs. Received this item on 7/3/21, in stock 7/4/21 - 7/8/21. It only rained during our 2 hour drive home and while unloading the truck/trailer I noticed rust spots on the driveway, fridges, cooler bag and noticed rust on the welds on the trailer. Now not only do I have a suspicious trailer, but I also have to try and rust stain the driveway and radiators. Was very happy with ease of assembly, fitment, components, product strength but was annoyed with premature rusting and is now cleaning rust spots.

Pros
  • Cargo handling
Cons
  • Unsure
