ABSTRACT:
A cargo carrier for use on the outside of a vehicle having a trailer hitch receiver includes a tub, a rigid bracket for supporting the tub, and a pair of tail lights on the rear of the tub. The bracket is adapted at the lower end for insertion into the receiver for supporting the carrier without attachment to the bumper or frame of the vehicle. At the upper end, a rigid, flat plate is connected to the bracket for supporting and stabilizing the tub. The bracket is shaped to position the container elevated above the height of the receiver and spaced rearwardly apart from the vehicle to accommodate a spare tire.
