Why this product
The EXO TopShelf adds a second tier to your EXO stack at 18 lbs in steel — effectively doubling your hitch cargo capacity. Here's the thing: two-level hitch systems give you serious hauling ability without touching your roof. The downside? The stacked setup gets tall and heavy, potentially blocking rear visibility, and the total EXO system cost is significant.
