If you need an enclosed aluminum car hauler, none of the five listed products is a car-hauling trailer: they are hitch cargo carriers or truck storage equipment. The MaxxHaul 70108 is best for smaller open cargo, while the MaxxHaul 50945 and VEVOR carrier are designed for mobility equipment and other loads. The Mytee flatbed rack and RKI side box are truck equipment, not trailers. Compare the options below, and confirm the product type and vehicle requirements before buying.
| Product | Best suited for | Important limitation |
|---|---|---|
| MaxxHaul 70108 | Compact open cargo loads | Not enclosed or for hauling cars |
| MaxxHaul 50945 | Mobility equipment and cargo | Open carrier, not a car trailer |
| VEVOR 50 x 29.5 carrier | Equipment loaded with a ramp | Open carrier, not enclosed |
| Mytee Viking Vaulted rack | Semi-truck storage organization | Cab rack, not a trailer |
| RKI 61-inch side box | Protected truck-bed storage | Storage box, not a car hauler |
MaxxHaul 70108 Aluminum Cargo Carrier
Best for: Drivers who need a compact open platform for gear behind a vehicle with a 2-inch hitch receiver. Its listed dimensions are 49 by 22.5 inches, and its maximum load capacity is 500 pounds.
The carrier combines an extruded aluminum basket with a heavy-duty steel under-support frame and a 2-by-2-inch hitch shaft. High side rails provide tie-down points, while reflector lenses and red corner accents help make the carrier more visible. It was selected as the smallest and most straightforward cargo option in this list.
Limitation: This is an open cargo basket, not an enclosed trailer or a vehicle hauler. Check the vehicle and hitch limits before loading; the carrier’s stated capacity does not establish the vehicle’s permitted load.
MaxxHaul 50945 Aluminum Mobility Carrier
Best for: Buyers transporting mobility equipment or other cargo that fits its platform. The carrier measures 50 by 29.5 inches overall, with a 49-by-27.75-inch inner area, and is rated for up to 500 pounds of distributed weight.
It is designed for 2-by-2-inch Class III and IV hitch receivers. The included 47-inch ramp is a practical distinguishing feature for loading wheeled equipment. Choose this over a smaller basket when the wider platform and ramp suit the intended load.
Limitation: Product information describes a hitch-mounted cargo carrier, not an enclosed car trailer. The listed capacity is distributed-load capacity; it should not be treated as permission to exceed the vehicle or hitch limits.
VEVOR 50-Inch Aluminum Hitch Carrier
Best for: Buyers who want an open carrier with a folding ramp for wheeled equipment such as a wheelchair, scooter, lawnmower, or snow blower. Its stated dimensions are 50 by 29.5 by 8.7 inches, and its maximum cargo capacity is 500 pounds.
The ramp extends 41.5 inches and folds with a latch mechanism. The carrier is made from aluminum and has an anodized surface, which the product information describes as resistant to corrosion, wear, and dirt. It was selected for buyers prioritizing ramp access and easy-to-clean construction.
Limitation: It is an open hitch carrier, so it does not enclose or haul a car. Confirm the load’s dimensions and your vehicle’s hitch and carrying limits before use.
Mytee Viking Vaulted Aluminum Cab Rack
Best for: Buyers looking for organized storage equipment for a semi-truck flatbed setup, not for transporting a car. The rack measures 84 inches high, 80 inches wide, and 14 inches deep. Its listed features include a heavy-duty aluminum body, five mirror-finish stainless steel doors, T-locks, four chain hangers, and two storage shelves.
This product is included because it is aluminum equipment associated with hauling and storage. Its doors and shelves make it a different type of storage solution from an open hitch basket.
Limitation: The listing describes a cab rack, not a towable enclosed trailer. Verify dimensions and intended installation with the seller or manufacturer before purchase.
RKI 61-Inch Aluminum Side Truck Box
Best for: Buyers seeking a truck-mounted place to store smaller cargo. The listed features include aluminum construction, a latch closure, and a water-resistant design intended to help protect contents from water.
Compared with the hitch carriers, this side box is a storage enclosure rather than a platform for carrying bulky equipment. It was selected as the closest option here for keeping cargo inside a covered compartment.
Limitation: The listing does not identify this as a trailer, car hauler, or full-size enclosed cargo trailer. Confirm that its dimensions and mounting arrangement match your truck and storage needs.
Buying Guide: How To Choose The Right Hauling Equipment
Do you need to transport a car?
For a car, look specifically for a towable car-hauling trailer with a deck, ramps or other loading system, appropriate towing connections, and a stated vehicle capacity. An enclosed model should also have a body and doors that fully cover the vehicle. None of the products above is identified as a car hauler, so do not substitute one for a car trailer.
Is an open hitch carrier enough?
Choose an open carrier only when the load fits its platform and you do not need an enclosed trailer. Compare the usable inner dimensions—not just the outside measurements—and check whether the product includes rails or a ramp. The MaxxHaul 70108 has high side rails; the MaxxHaul 50945 and VEVOR models list ramps.
What capacity should you verify?
Compare the load’s weight with the product’s stated capacity, then check the hitch and vehicle limits in their documentation. A carrier’s maximum rating does not increase the vehicle’s permitted payload or towing capacity. The two MaxxHaul carriers and the VEVOR carrier list a 500-pound capacity, but their structures and features differ.
When is a truck box or cab rack a better fit?
Choose a truck box for covered storage of smaller items, or a cab rack when its shelves and hangers suit a truck-based organization need. These products are not alternatives to a trailer for transporting a vehicle.
