Pros
- Fits both 1-1/4 in and 2 in hitches, so it can move between a small car and a truck
- Threaded anti-rattle pin included to keep it from clunking
- Tall 6 in sides keep loose items in the basket
- One of the lowest prices for a railed basket from a major hitch maker
Cons
- Compact 48 x 20 in basket holds less than 60 in models
- Does not fold up when empty
- On a 1-1/4 in hitch the hitch rating, not the 500 lb basket rating, sets the limit
