Your car hauling stuff

[Tonavi]

Here is my hitch setup with my '10 Stumpjumper Comp 29.

Please post photos of your car hauling stuff - I love seeing the practicality of these cars!

No takers?

[WeeYari]

Too many other 'hauling' and/or 'towing' threads already exist.

[Tonavi]

Those are all dead and mostly photo-free.

[WeeYari]

What the hell, I'll feed the thread.

[Tonavi]

How did it work pulling that small trailer? What kind of FE did you get with it? I ask because I'm thinking about getting a 4x8 aluminum one to haul firewood and stuff to the cabin.

[WeeYari]

Hauls fine. It is only a 4x5' aluminum. Weighs about 300 pounds. I don't have a wiring kit installed yet so it has been used only for very short local jaunts. That said, I cannot comment on F/E.

I also have one of these (Raider ATV-23 cargo rack) that I've installed a cheap HF trailer light set on:

The Yaris is surprisingly versatile.

Which hitch are you using?
I like the idea of the cargo rack and lights, too. :headbang:

I went with the Drawtite hitch from etrailer.com.

I already had the light converter and a variety of ball mounts sitting around in the garage, so I went with the least expensive hitch I can find.

Yeah, I zipped tied the magnetic lights on the back of the cargo rack. Works surprisingly well.

I was waiting for something like that. :laughabove:

How do you like that bike rack?

I'm researching what type to get, but I want to make sure the bikes are secured on the rack. Also the rack would be swapped between 2 vehicles depending on needs (both would be class 1 hitches).

From the look of the pictures on etrailer.com's website for that rack, it looks like it's velcro straps? Am I correct?

Yes it only had the velcro strap to hold the bike. I did put a long bike chain with pad lock to secure the bike whenever i use it. So far I like it. It comes with a 2" adaptor so you can use it with a regular 2" hitch.

Here's from our trip to Cuyuna. The car did pretty well in the steep hills with almost 400 pounds of cargo and two people in it.
