We designed the PAKMULE SCOUT for the anyone needing extra space, whether it’s hauling gear to the ball fields, a day trip to the beach, or a quick weekend getaway.
Weighing in at only 37lbs, the SCOUT makes light work of quick trips and big loads alike, with a design that makes loading and accessing your gear easy.
The Pipe rail is not only easy to interact with, but it makes securing gear with our MULEstraps a cinch, and is compatible with our BikeBits, Rod Holders, and Cinch Locks too!*
A built-in floor transforms The SCOUT into a workstation for sorting gear, while our universal design allows it to fit any vehicle with a 2″ receiver hitch, including Jeeps, Trucks, Vans, & Land Cruisers.
*PLEASE NOTE: 2023 Jeep Wranglers may not offer enough clearance to sit under the tire. You need 3.5″ between the upper inside wall of the hitch and bottom of the spare*
Featuring our patented anti-wobble hitch connection to keep your load stable and secure.
The PAKMULE Scout hitch rack — and all of our hitch baskets — are 100% MADE IN THE USA from 70% recycled aluminum content. When you purchase a PAKMULE, you support American workers, their families and the environment.

Super solid build quality and clean construction – fits Yeti 75, two Pelican Cases, and a 26 Gal Tote perfectly. Great ramp for Bernese Mountain dog with a bum knee. Works great with the wall hanging kit and secures nicely so my toddlers don’t pull it down. 5’3” wife can handle the carrier by herself, so good weight to strength ratio. Really saves cargo space in vehicles with three kids.

I was skeptical about the anti wobble claim to start. Cue foot in mouth. There is actually no wobble. Trailer hitch companies should take note!

Fit and finish is great. I love the threaded receiver to lock everything down tightly. The hitching post is a must for storage, and I love how it all marries up. Great buy for our family of six looking forward to getting years of use out of it.

Only took 15 minutes to put it together from the moment I unboxed it. Definitely read the Pakmule instructions regarding the threaded bolt and lock. Perform the sequence exactly as instructed and the carrier will mount up all snug without any wobble. Again, read the instructions on this to ensure nothing gets cross-threaded and the assembly doesn’t wobble on the hitch.
The only thing I would change regarding the lock is to offer the option of a rubber sleeve to slide over the main cylinder. My GX 460 hitch has a flange that extends to the point that the cylinder makes direct contact. Hitting bumps or any kind of vibration is going to mar up the finish of the flange and swiveling lock cylinder.
Overall, the carrier looks great and feels snug on the hitch.
