I got one from walmart the other day for $60 and I used it for the first time this morning and it worked well at least for the deer I put on it.

I know this is a really...REALLY old thread. But it came up in a google search related to what I was wondering. I have a new SUV so I can no longer use my truck bed for transporting. I was wondering if there is any concern from the exhaust/heat with using one of these cargo racks?

Zero concern in my opinion. If it's a warm day then that could be a concern if it's going to be a while before you can get it somewhere cold but I don't worry about the exhaust harming anything. I have used hitch mounted racks for hauling deer. I have sometimes wrapped them in a tarp to keep road grime off.

I searched around for my sorento and ended up getting a rola...
ROLA 59502 Vortex Steel Cargo Carrier, Hitch-Mount, High-Capacity Basket (2-Inch Receivers) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0016I8...abc_3NGEA41TH0C9HD0TWJ8N?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

The sorento has 3 row seating, so it allows me to bring the mother in law, dog, wife, and 2 sons on trips. The problem is where to put the luggage...hence the cargo carrier. Other brands had kindve flimsy build quality, especially in the grating thickness. This thing is built like a damned tank. It also offsets up to give enough ground clearance to go over curbs and not be effected by steep driveway/hills. The cross pin is essentially a big ass bolt, so cranking that down makes this nice and secure, although you can buy clamp-like stabilizers to torque down on where it plugs onto the hitch to remove any remaining wiggle.

I also got this rain proof bag that fits on it....
FIVKLEMNZ Car Cargo Carrier Bag, 20 Cubic Feet Waterproof Hitch Tray Cargo Carrier with 6 Reinforced Straps Suitable for All Vehicle with Steel Cargo Basket (59" 23" 23") https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B087Q8T...abc_EQ91A705YBQNB6TQJNMH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

...it is great. It straps down securely on the cargo carrier, is legit waterproof, and fits a tooooooon of crap on it. We got all our luggage, beach chairs, a cooler, and even things like pillows in there. I wasn't sure how the exhaust would play with it, so I tossed some sheet steel in that corner to redirect it. Exhaust heat was never an issue to and from dewey Beach from Annapolis. You can buy led light kits for it to plug into your wiring harness, but I didn't find it necessary with mostly daylight traveling.

Im fairly happy with this one, cant remember what I paid but it folds up and clears the spare tire on my JKU when folded so perfect for beach trips. Unload Luggage and just fold it up lock it and bungie it as a secondary. Need to get a light kit though just for peace of mind. Makes room for the dogs in the back.

Off topic but I sure miss slot of the fallen MDS members

We throw em in the truck bed, where they belong, amongst the trash needing to go to the dump, odds and ends treasures I found at someones curbside, etc.

This thread reminds me of a James McMurty song:
"“Honey, don’t you be yelling at me when I’m cleaning my gun. I’ll wash the blood off the tailgate when deer season’s done.”"

Price has gone up $10 since I purchased but this is wonderful for family trips, keeping gear off my interior.

Highly recommend this.

This looks like a good idea to me. Plus, if you do other activities such as camping or fishing, you can haul gear such as tents and large coolers; I see people in the Outer Banks using these things...

Yep, that's where you carry your extra large Yeti cooler which by it's sheer size projects your skill as a surf fisherman. This is complemented by a custom set of rocket-launchers mounted along the front bumper which are used to display your spread of custom surf rods. It's quite a show.

If you get one spray it with bright orange or green paint and stick some reflector tape on it---no fun to walk into it in the dark and it hangs out when you are in a parking space--I have had one for years and use it all the time for deer and other chores.

The 'hitch hauler' I bought for my truck ('11 RAM) sits right where the exhaust pipes dump hot exhaust.

When I put the extra large cooler on the 'hauler' heat/exhaust dumps right on the cooler.

I tried to get some ducts/exhaust tips that were 45* or 90* to deflect the heat.

No joy.

We saw an SUV on Rte. 95 (when we were headed towards Myrtle Beach), with the items on their hitch hauler had caught fire, and we're guessing it was from exhaust.

I wound up buying a hitch extender from etrailer dot com.
I didn't know that Harbor Freight had the same basic thing in stock, for a LOT less $$$.

The beauty of the extender, is that it raises the hitch hauler 8" (or a 10" is available, too) and gets the items on the hauler away from exhaust, and if going up/down back roads, the items on the hauler don't get dirt/rocks/crud tossed into the material being carried.
