Review on Pilot CR 112 Receiver Mounted Cargo by Raysean Forth

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Stable but shaky - be careful!

Disclosure: I purchased this product from Pep Boys but I find the Revain reviews to be a great resource in deciding whether or not to buy the product. So I'm making a review. This receiver stand is made by the same company but has several different names and retains the same part number. I had the opportunity to buy a "Navigator" brand receiver shelf. Installation was easy, instructions were clear and assembly took about 30m. The stand itself was very sturdy/solid but when the stand was in the receiver it had a lot of play. When you put weight on one side, the opposite side will lift about 2.5 to 3 inches and vice versa. Of course there are ways to make sure it doesn't swing as much, but to begin with the posture shouldn't move as much. Also, no extra work needs to be done to make the product do the job it was supposed to do from the start. I mean there is no margin of error and if there is one it must be less than 3 inches. an inch by 1 inch would be *acceptable* but isn't, so I'm returning the receiver stand and looking for one with a lower tolerance.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Good but not great
