Reese Rambler 63153 vs 63155 Cargo Carriers

Reese Rambler hitch cargo carriers give you an exterior platform for travel gear. These two fixed, black powder-coated steel models differ in tray space, receiver connection and rated cargo weight. Choosing the correct model starts with your vehicle's hitch opening and permitted tongue load.

Plan a safe hitch installation

Confirm your receiver size. The 63153 is for 2-inch receivers and 63155 is for 1¼-inch receivers.
Determine the available hitch load using the lowest vehicle, receiver and carrier rating. Include the carrier itself as well as its cargo.
Check platform ground clearance, hitch-pin engagement, tailgate movement and the vehicle's lighting and plate visibility.
Secure items using suitable tie-downs. Neither of these fixed mesh trays includes a ramp.
Follow the Reese assembly and operating instructions. Check attachments before travel and at stops.

Load rating: A 500-lb basket does not permit 500 lb of cargo when the hitch or vehicle has a lower limit. The carrier itself adds weight to the receiver, and the allowed load depends on the complete installation.
