Budget-friendly hitch cargo carrier for occasional hauling
Last reviewed: March 2026
At a glance
Why this product
At 24 lbs with 400 lb capacity, the Reese tray carrier is a compact, budget-friendly hitch platform. It's light enough for one person to install and remove easily. The downside? Open tray means everything needs strapping, steel construction will corrode, no folding mechanism, and the budget build quality shows in the finish and hardware.
