Hello! I just bought a rear bumper reciever adapter for my trailer. I was wondering if anyone had used these before and if there are any concerns using them. The cargo carrier i want to use says it holds 750 pounds. It is a 60x40 carrier. Wanted to make sure the bumper could handle this. Thanks!

If it is a standard 4" x 4" bumper, then about 100 lbs is all it can take. If the center of the weight is out about a foot then maybe 50 lbs. Of course you need to deduct the weight of the carrier from those figures. In other words, NO! If you have something different, post a photo.

I would only use that on a bumper that is heavily reinforced. I put a 2 bike rack on a bumper and it warped and twisted the bumper. My rack and bikes combined didn't weigh as much as that carrier.
