Any recommendation for hitch mounted metal mesh cargo carrier?

Sue, I would be seriously concerned about the weight and leverage you're looking at putting on the substructure. That hitch only bolts to sheetmetal, not the frame. (Correct me if I'm wrong, I am many times...) That said, if it is, then you will no doubt start to stress-crack the sheetmetal substructure in short order with that amount of weight and more importantly leverage you are applying to it. (Here is where someone tells me I'm an idiot...)

Thanks Scott, that's exactly what I need to know before I do this! Our other option is a really small utility type trailer (open top) for quick trips, but I hate dealing with the hitch ball etc…, so thought this route would be more practical.

Here's what it's bolted to,
Dub installed it, and IIRC he drilled through the 3 separate pieces of metal, but I'll wait 'til he weighs in, then it will be correct
