Customer Reviews

Works as advertised
I bought this 'trailer' to haul the extra cargo for a week at the beach. It worked perfectly and I liked the fold up position for traveling without cargo which made the trailer safer for me, and everyone else on the road. It was a pain having to pull the pin every time to access the trunk, since I was traveling around town with it in the up position. Maybe Valley could redesign it a bit to make that easier like my bike rack.

From another review I read before purchasing, the side sections don't seem as sturdy as they should be to support the weight listed, but it did haul everything I needed. I liked the bar design which made tying down a tarp over my goodies easy.

After getting home, I did notice a few spots of rusted steel on the carrier, so not the best paint on it from the manufacturer. Easily taken care of with a wire brush and rust-proof spray paint.

hitch rack
need to be a little stronger in the middle if you stand on it for anything.. nice rack other then that for the price..

For your truck or SUV
I bought this for the wife's Expedition. It fits great and looks great. I found this same item at 5 or 6 different web sites, but it was cheapest here. Shipping was fast, and it only took 20 minutes to put together. I bought the basket with the folding shank, and I am glad I spent the few extra $$. This basket is great for carrying large or dirty items that you do not want inside the vehicle (gas cans, sandy beach chairs, your mother-in-law). Buy one today!
