(More customer reviews)The 60"x20" Folding Cargo Carrier Basket Hitch Tow 2" Receiver Towing I purchased from T-motorsports has a material design flaw which could result in serious injury or death. The two inch box tubing which inserts into the vehicle hitch receiver and the two inch box tubing which holds the swivel bracket is structurally inadequate. It is thin wall box tubing and is too thin to hold the weight of the cargo carrier basket securely without eventual collapse and detachment from the vehicle receiver.
In the first use of this product carrying a 20 pound propane tank, a 10 pound folding table and a 10 pound bag of Jet Ski vests the carrier showed a rearward drop. The attachment of a Jet Ski trailer with a tongue weight of 65 pounds to the two inch receiver increased the drop of the carrier.
Within a trip of 65 highway miles the combination of the 2 two inch thin walled box tubing had failed and the end of the carrier was now setting 6 inches from the pavement. The carrier was disassembled for inspection and inspected for damage. The Box tubing had collapsed.
The carrier was reassembled with structural reinforcement to raise the angle of the hitch. Within 40 miles of highway driving the carrier had failed again causing the trailer to disconnect from the ball mount.
Were it not for the owner installation of safety chains on the carrier and Jet Ski trailer, both items would have become would have been a collision point for following traffic.
I consider myself fortunate to not have had a situation resulting in serious injury or death. I will not be using this the 60"x20" Folding Cargo Carrier Basket Hitch Tow 2" Receiver Towing I purchased from T-motorsports again.
