Description
100% ALUMINUM
100% Aluminum Construction means it’s lightweight and will never rust… for a lifetime of low maintenance!
MADE FOR TOMORROW
Made from 70% recycled aluminum material, and shipped with minimal plastic packaging for a better tomorrow. Every cut and every shaving during our process, is recycled to remove waste during the manufacturing process.
MADE IN AMERICA
Built in the U.S.A., with U.S.A. materials. We build our products in safe environment, follow EPA guidelines and ensure that our people go home safe. No child labor here. And less carbon emissions than if shipped from the other side of the world. It’s all one Earth, and if you’ve ever experienced an African Dust storm in your hometown, you know that we all share the same air. That’s why it’s important to do it right, for everyone. No cut corners. Just good products built right, because it matters.
ROUND PIPE CONSTRUCTION
Pipe construction makes securing your equipment simple, especially when used in conjunction with our MULEstraps. Also makes it easy to carry! Rounded edges ensure you won’t tear your pants, or bruise your legs.
WOBBLE-FREE DESIGN
Our patented anti-wobble design is so good, it’s patented! The SCOUT features a hollow tongue, with a solid 1.5″ threaded insert, and a stainless steel threaded pin that bolt it to your hitch to prevent your rack from dancing while you’re driving. An automotive grade lock is not included with the SCOUT, but is available for purchase to keep the SCOUT safe in your hitch.

Firm believer in ‘buy it for life’ – this hitch carrier definitely fits that bill! Amazing craftsmanship and proud to support an American small business. Look forward to using our Scout!

So far I’m very pleased with the quality. The craftsmanship and it having been made in the USA (and this great state of Texas) is 100% the reason I purchased it. Can’t wait to put it use.

Love it. Very well built and super light compared to the Yakima EXO that’s still in the box and will be returning soon. We’ll be driving to FL in a few days then to MT in August to take our daughter to college.

Looks like it’s going to be the perfect solution for our vehicle. Taking it on its first road trip in a week headed towards the beach

Great unit. Aluminum construction, tig welding, rounded corners, light weight, anti-wobble pin and lock. Heading to Montana and Wyoming later this summer…plan on testing it out!

I love the Scout so far. I’ve put it together and installed it and thrown some weight on it and love it so far. Sturdy as advertised. I got it for a cross-country road trip that’s coming up, and I need something I’m not going to have to worry about wobbling or sagging that also allows me access to the back of my 4Runner. I was persuaded that the thoughtful design by people who ask a lot of their gear would serve my purposes. The commitment to US manufacturing and to the environment also sold me. Looking forward to a lot of years of use out of this guy.

So far I love it, but all I’ve done is install it once. Loved how sturdy it feels and how much I can load up while still opening back hatch of vehicle. Got a 1,600 mile road trip next week so will be putting her to the test.

Top notch fit and finish, this is why I buy AMERICAN whenever I can!
