The PAKMULE Original is the rack that started it all. A fully T.I.G. welded beast of a hitch rack, boasting over 12 square feet of cargo space (yes, half the size of a pickup bed)! Made from 100% aluminum, PAKMULE will never rust, weighs a mere 42lbs, and yet is burly enough to handle 650lbs of cargo!
The PAKMULE Original is the rack that started it all. A fully T.I.G. welded beast of a hitch rack, boasting over 12 square feet of cargo space (yes, half the size of a pickup bed)! Made from 100% aluminum, PAKMULE will never rust, weighs a mere 42lbs, and yet is burly enough to handle 650lbs of cargo!
Our Pro series racks feature a solid aluminum tongue (yes a burly, 2″x2″ solid piece of structural grade aluminum right into the hitch) to handle the toughest loads and the knarliest roads. All Pro series racks are hand welded, and then heat-treated for extra strength right here in Texas.
Everything you need, and nothing you don’t. The pipe frame design of our Pro series units are made for big gear and large loads.  They self clean, resist holding dirt or mud, and provide unlimited spots to wrap your MULEstraps around, to ensure your gear doesn’t go anywhere.
Includes our patented anti-wobble connection that bolts your PAKMULE directly to your hitch, keeping everything secure, whether you’re crossing a continent or rambling down some backroad. Pro Series racks also include our Stainless Steel lock for added hitch security. PAKMULE installs into a 2″ square receiver opening. With reducers, the PAKMULE will fit in a 2.5″ receiver hitch. Make sure to get the right pin for your hitch – 2″ Pin (most vehicles with a 2-2.5″ receiver), 3″ Pin (vehicles with a 3″ receiver + new model Rivian R1S and Lexus GX550), 2″ Extended Pin (New Model Lexus GX460, Land Cruiser, Tacoma, and Sequoia).
All PAKMULE Hitch Racks feature a patented design that make it easy to raise SUV lift gates, and drop truck tailgates while loaded down (in most cases) with gear to make accessing all your gear easy. Otherwise, what’s the point?
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
100% ALUMINUMÂ Â Â Â Â
100% Aluminum Construction means no paint to chip and no rust to destroy… for a lifetime of low maintenance!

WOBBLE-FREE DESIGNÂ Â

SHIPPING:Â Â
The Original ships fully welded and assembled, and therefore ships in a HUGE box. We ship the Original via Freight Carrier; This is not the UPS Ground or FEDex trucks your normal orders come in – Freight requires an 18-Wheeler for delivery, like when you order a sofa, therefore the freight carrier will call you to coordinate and schedule delivery. Current transit time, once it leaves our dock, is about 5 business days depending on location (weekends don’t count). Rural areas may take longer. Please call us with your address for specific details if needed.
Every Industry is suffering labor shortages right now, including freight and shipping companies. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee timing of shipping, and are not responsible for freight arriving “on time;” We cannot provide full refunds for freight issues or freight that arrives a day after your trip. Because of the high cost of freight shipping, delivery and return shipping costs will be deducted from any returns or refunds.

I have not officially used it yet but everything seems to be of very high quality. I will be using it this weekend to go 400 miles up north Wisconsin. When get back from my trip after using it I will post another review. The Hauler came well package and showed up undamaged. Haley from PakMule was Fantastic to deal with and made sure I received my PakMule in perfect condition. For that and because of Haley I rate this company 5 stars out of 5 stars. I’m sure after my trip by the looks of the products quality, my rating will still be 5 stars out of 5 stars. Thank you PakMule for the excellent product and thank you Haley for making it an easy purchase.***** 5 stars

Love it! Got some mule straps, decking for the center, and the taillight. I do HVAC work and load tools and equipment in it for work and gear/firewood/bikes, etc for fun. I have three kids and a dog, so the extra space is awesome. Rack is lightweight so I can take it off my truck and throw it on the LandRover when it’s time for family fun. Y’all rock! Thank you for a great product. Keep up the good work!

I’ve only had my new Pro Original for a few hours, but it is already miles better than anything I’ve had in the past. Rock solid and looking forward to abusing it.
Grant W. –
Love it. We use it all the time for trips to the beach to our hunting property to the farm. Wherever we go it goes with us and holds all our gear. With a kid and 2 dogs Pakmule was a must.
Cole K. –
Awesome product! Highly recommend for gear haulers. Light as a feather and built to last.
Josh R. –
So far love the quality and lightweight construction. Can’t wait to really put this thing to use.
Wallace M. (verified owner) –
It’s a great piece of equipment: large yet lightweight, and we just love that’s it’s solid aluminum (including even the structural shank) and won’t rust. That means it will last for years if not decades, which makes it well worth the purchase price.
Because it’s lightweight, one person can handle it easily, and it can be mounted on the wall or ceiling of your garage.
Also great that it comes with an aluminum anti-wobble pin and lock with two keys that you can order a replacement for anytime.
Would love to see Pakmule make an aluminum roof rack now!

Haven’t put it to use yet, but looks great mounted up. Kinda like the Yeti of cargo racks. Plan on using it with truck camper setup to expand storage capacity during the summer on trips to the Rockies, maybe on the old Jeep when cruising the backroads, and on the Tahoe during pheasant season and road trips to grandparents’ house.
Storage for cargo is hard to come by as our young family grows with new babies and pups. But dammit, I refuse to get a minivan, so this will help!

I haven’t used it yet, but it is built solid and should last a few generations.

I have been interested in a PAKMULE for over a year, but due to the high prices I was hesitant…then we went on a 2 week truck camper trip on the blue ridge Parkway, carrying 2 BOTE brand inflatable sups using the folding carrier I’d bought 2 years ago for $250 from etrailer.com…by the time we returned to Florida this carrier was at a 45 degree angle to the ground! From the bouncing the hole where the pivot pin went had actually enlarged! What a piece of garbage…wish I’d put that $ towards a PAKMULE from the beginning.
