ArizonaEnergi Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 We are replacing a Honda Odyssey with the C-Max and thus giving up a whole lot of cargo capacity, which we used when RVing and recently to haul two recliners in their boxes from Costco (and back), so we're trying to mitigate the impact by buying a cargo carrier for any large items that might pop up from time to time. I bought this one at Harbor Freight where it is on sale for $75 this month. It was well reviewed on Amazon, and is well made although it does take awhile to put together. I like that it is aluminium, and will carry up to 500# although the hitch is not really rated for that much. I also bought a $10 net that fits over it. Can't upload the picture due to kb limitations for some reason. (Is there a daily/weekly/user limit?) So here's the link: http://www.harborfreight.com/500-lb-capacity-aluminum-cargo-carrier-92655.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67gtcougar Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 I think we will also try this out. Does it seem sturdy enough? Looks like cargo under 14" tall won't block the license plate. If we decide to buy a box later, we will need to also get a wire harness for the lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaEnergi Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 I believe its sturdy. I'm 220# and stood on the center of it and didn't feel it bending! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

67gtcougar Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) I signed up for HF online yesterday, but no ads yet. I searched the internet just now, and found the coupon you were talking about. Thanks! If I drive up to Harbor Freight today, will the box fit in the back of the CMAX? And yes it fit... Picked it up yesterday afternoon. They were sold-out at the local HF, so drove to next nearest store. My (Energi) battery was depleted about 4 miles into the return home, so I had to switch to hybrid mode. I've already assembled it. Now just waiting on Torklift Central to ship my receiver. This should come in handy. Edited March 17, 2013 by 67gtcougar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
