Hi folks. My GF has a 2004 Element EX AWD. She doesn't plan on towing anything but would like to be able to use one of those hitch carriers. So instead of forking out a load of cash for a full hitch, is there a set up for something like we are looking for?

Thanks for your help.

A hitch carrier puts as much of a load on the hitch as a trailer - possibly more so. Look up the on going thread on the Valley/UHaul 2" receiver hitch.

With the carrier you may not need the trailer wiring adapter. However, some boxes are large enough to obscure the lights or the licence plate with its lights. Such boxes do have the same sort of wiring as a trailer.
