OUR BEST-SELLING PAKMULE CARRIER
Straight Hitch Tongue
This is our standard offering, and it positions the Scout to come straight out of your hitch. Fits 90% of vehicles on the market, including Jeeps, SUV’s and Trucks.
– Carry Capacity: 500lbs
– Vehicle Examples: Any Vehicle with at least 14 inches of clearance.
4” Riser Hitch Tongue
This option positions the Scout 4” above your receiver hitch – great for any vehicle with rear-facing exhaust, including full size trucks and SUV’s, as well as vehicles with a lower hitch height, and vehicles looking for some extra trail clearance.
– Carry Capacity: 300lbs
– Vehicle Examples: Vehicles with Rear-Facing Exhaust, Low Clearance Trucks or SUVs, Off-Road Builds
7” Riser Hitch Tongue
This option positions the Scout 7” above your vehicle’s receiver hitch – Originally designed for the UTV market, this option provides the best departure angle for trail running vehicles. It is also our recommended option for smaller SUV’s, CUV’s, Minivans and sedans with a 2” hitch, and is popular on Tesla, Outback and the Toyota Prius. If you have a vehicle with a 2” hitch receiver that is lower than 14” off the ground, or you are running some heavy trails, this is the best choice for you.
– Carry Capacity: 300lbs
– Vehicle Examples: UTVs, Sedans, Minivans, CUV’s and smaller SUV’s (Not recommend for trucks with a tailgate – 7” height prevents dropping your tailgate fully)
Be aware of proximity to exhaust. Heat from vehicle exhaust can damage paint and can melt cargo products loaded. This is primarily a concern on rear-facing exhaust.

Item arrived promptly in excellent shape. Assembly and installation instructions were clear, concise, and foolproof whether in print and online. Very well done. I ordered the Scout with the 7” riser. Perfect height for my intended use. Could not be more pleased with this well-made, durable cargo carrier. Props to Pakmule!

I love it! I called before ordering and found staff to be friendly and helpful. It arrived on time with great updates along the way. The packaging was substantial to prevent movement of parts in transit. Assembly by myself was easy given light weight and easy-to-follow instructions. It’s new, so have only used it once so far, but, as advertised, there was no bouncing on my trip. I love the versatility. My pups could step into the back from the platform and I can stand on it if needed. My future includes a travel van and love that this will transfer easily. I plan to use it locally for hauling Oru kayaks, paddle board, cooler, chairs…whatever! Thank you for a great purchasing experience and quality product.
