An article carrier adapted to be detachably interconnected with a standard, square tube trailer hitch affixed to the frame of a vehicle. The article carrier includes a connector member adapted to be telescopically received within the trailer hitch; a carrier assembly carried by the connector member, including a generally vertically extending column and one or more outwardly extending article supporting elements; and a securement mechanism carried by the carrier assembly for cooperation with the article supporting elements to secure the carried article within the carrier assemblage.
