cargo hitch carrier

I am trying to find a solution to where to carry my portable generator. I do not have enough room in the bed of my truck to carry it there so I am considering buying a cargo hitch carrier. My Landmark has a class II hitch with a 1 1/4" receiver that is bolted and welded to the frame. I am not sure if this is strong enough to carry my 163LBS generator. I would have to use a adaptor to make the it work with the 2" cargo carrier. Anyone have a suggestion as to what to do?

Most Cargo carriers are rated for 500lbs so you are good to go there.

Here's a heads up as far as the 'adapter' to go from 1 1/4 inch to the 2 inch (that is standard on all cargo carriers).....

The only adapter I could find locally from a store was made by Reese. I had a Draw-tite on the vehicle. They don't play nice together. Reese made sure that the holes don't line up on anything not Reese equipment. :R


I was so angry about this. I took the Reese Adaptor to a frame shop and had them cut the end down so the holes lined up.
