Rear Hitch Cargo Box by StowAway 2

$ 1,148.00

The rear hitch cargo box or StowAway 2 is a great way to add additional storage to your vehicle. This is the max cargo box with a swing away frame. The hitch frame plugs into your standard 2" receiver. The entire box swings away from the vehicle for rear access*. This is a top quality unit with a heavy steel frame, fully opening lid, and drain holes at the lid seal. It is fully wired for turn signals, stop lights and plate lights - plate holder is also included. Everything about this box says quality and you know a lot of thought went into it's design. If you have the factory hitch wiring you will need a flat 4 way to 7 way round adapter - which we can also provide.

* Right side rear doors on vans may not fully open, other vehicles may have obstruction issues. 

You may receive a follow up call for additional measurements.

Spare tire or ladder clearance over 15 inches may require an extender - approximately 99.00 extra for the extender

    You may receive a follow up call for additional measurements - see below.

    • Does the vehicle have a rear mounted ladder / tire?
      • If yes – we’ll need the measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole (NOT the end of the hitch) to the back of the tire (whatever is farthest away from the vehicle)
    • Does the vehicle have rear double doors?
      • If yes – we’ll need measurement from inside top of hitch to bottom of rear doors (straight up)
