Hi,
I go rid of my big, gas guzzling truck a little while back and have been basking in the glow of having a fuel bill that's less than my mortgage (slight exaggeration).
The only thing I really miss about the truck, is being able to carry things outside of the cab. Little things typically, most often my ice chest of fish after I go fishing. A hitch mounted cargo carrier would be a perfect solution, but my car has a Class 2 (1.25") hitch and all of the ones I look at are for Class 3 (2") hitches. The ones I find that advertise Class 2, use an adaptor that pushes the tray away from the car, which I would like to avoid.
I'm sure I'm not the first to experience this, does anyone have suggestions for a native 1.25" hitch cargo carrier that stays near the car? Bonus points if it lifts the tray higher than the hitch rather than pushing the tray straight out.
