ABSTRACT:
A cargo carrier is detachably engageable with a standard trailer hitch. The carrier is connected solely to the hitch, rather than to any portion of the vehicle body or bumper. A hitch tongue engaging portion is insertably engagable with the trailer hitch tongue, and a platform is attached to the engaging portion. The carrier is retained on the vehicle by the passage of a lockable clevis pin through registering holes in the tongue portion and the engaging portion. The carrier has the advantages of straightforward construction and tool-free attachment to the vehicle.
