Designed to easily secure and access all your gear, our system is made to improve every aspect of your adventure, no matter how rowdy!
Access your coolers contents without unstrapping them? Yep! Raise the hatch of your SUV so you can kennel your dog? Uh huh, that too… WHILE LOADED!*
And our locking, anti-wobble connection keeps everything secure, whether you’re crossing a continent or rambling down some backroad.
PAKMULE installs into a 2″ square receiver opening
It’s not just a hitch basket, it’s a PAKMULE.

Description
PAKMULE’s hitch cargo carrier basket was developed for the outdoorsman who obsesses over high quality, functional gear . Other carriers on the market were clumsy, heavy, and difficult to use, so we made our own. And its aluminum construction makes it lightweight and easy to carry. And the patented design makes it easy to load and access all your gear, and still raise your liftgate while loaded in most configuration (see video below).
100% welded, PAKMULE doesn’t go together with a bucket of bolts when it arrives. Nope, it arrives fully TIG welded and ready to travel, while remaining resistant to every environment you’ll encounter. Winter slopes of Silverton for some back country runs? No Problem. Coast of baja chasing rooster fish in the surf? Bring it on! PAKMULE can take it all, and still look great doing it! Once installed, the innovative locking, anti-wobble connection takes over to keep your PAKMULE stable and secure for the long haul.
Hitch lower than 14″ off the ground? You should consider our Ridgeline model, that includes a built-in 7″ riser!
100% Made in U.S.A. by craftsmen who take pride in every detail. When you buy PAKMULE, you know you are supporting American jobs, and American families.

Simply a necessity for what we do! We love our Pakmule and we live outdoors. It makes hauling game out easier and keeps the nasty stuff out of the truck beds! We Wouldn’t go anywhere without it! Thanks Pakmule for a much needed product!

I have enjoyed using my Pakmule behind my Landcruiser. It holds a lot and is easy to use. One of the best things is that you don’t hear the rattling sound in the receiver hitch as you do with other brands. I highly recommend it to anyone else needing a quality cargo basket. Many thanks, Joe W.

From a bronco(highschool), to a Tahoe(single), and now to Yukon XL(kids)-I have always owned an SUV, never a truck. A quality cargo basket has been essential tool for me over the past 25 years. Some have been better than others for a variety reasons, but none of them were outstanding( too heavy, too light, too tall, unbalanced-etc). Until now, Pakmule is the outstanding cargo basket that SUV owner’s have desperately needed. Any outdoorsmen not investing in one right now is really missing out. Thanks, Matt

Just a line to let you know that your product is well built and does as advertised. It saved me $300 rental on U Haul and I had it loaded with a 105-110- 120 qt Yeti cooler full of deboned deer meat and ice. I recognize quality because I own a fabrication shop and I also am the resident inspector. The bottom line is you get what you pay for. Thanks Mark F

Pakmule makes a great product! I would recommend products to anyone. Each product really lives up to the hype. Excellent quality and makes all the difference when your truck is full and you need some extra space. Love it all!

Being able to haul a full size ice chest and getting my retriever in my suburban without having to remove a hitch haul has been an incredible convenience with my PAKMULE. No more rattle on the receiver is another plus since that always irritated me with the old hauler i used to have. Well done!

We love our Pakmule! As a family of 5, we have a ton of gear and we love how simple it is to hook it up and hit the road. Super sturdy, durable, opens up a ton of space. Highly recommend this product.

The Pakmule is the ultimate hitch basket. Having owned 2 or 3 lesser baskets over the last 15 years, I have truly come to respect what Pakmule has done. Some of the most pro-worthy notes in my opinion : (1) The rounded edges make strapping easy, (2) The basket is over-sized, giving you options to actually use the cargo access on your SUV, (3) Me and my lesser hitch basket have been ticketed before, so I appreciate the license plate space, and of course (4) No wobble on the Pakmule. Seeing the Pakmule in person gives you the appreciation for how well it is constructed. Like the best of your adventure equipment, Pakmule is a lifetime purchase.

After getting two days of travel under my belt using the PAKMULE, I am confident in saying this thing is far superior than all other hitch haul systems on the market. I’ll be honest…I was leery of it at first because of the price. But once you get your hands on it and your gear loaded up, it’s worth every penny. This thing is a huge, rock solid beast!
