2020 Toyota Highlander GearDeck 17 Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches: Complete Installation

Great informative video. I'm planning this exact same set-up (4th gen HL + aero cargo box). One question. Would you think that if I add a hitch extender I would be able to open my trunk without having to slide the box? Thank you

We couldn't say, but we can help you figure that out! Find the hitch pin hole on your receiver hitch. From the center of the hole measure rearward 14 inches. Have a helper hold a straight edge (like a 2x4 or a yardstick) vertically at that point while you open the rear hatch. If the hatch clears the lumber/yardstick, you'll be good to go. If not, you'll need to slide the box rearward to open the hatch. Here's a caveat, though. If you use a hitch extender, you will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50%. For that reason, it's best to avoid using an extender. www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Cargo-Carrier/Lets-Go-Aero/H00604.html
