I think a cargo trailer would be overkill for the hundred pounds of stuff I have on the rack :-)
Totally agree. If you can safely carry your gear on a front rack, that’s exactly where you need the weight on your rig. My camper can unload the front axle a bit at times, so putting a few hundred pounds back is a good thing. The roof is NOT a good place to carry anything that weighs more than an empty water jug.
The two corner markers on my box are actually Bores bumper guides made for commercial trucks. They light up when the truck lights are on. I need them to remind me the box is out there because I can’t see any part of it from the driver seat. The two LED lights on the front are aimed to the sides to act as “ditch lights” when I’m on an unlit road looking for a turn in the dark.
Also, the box is mounted on a pintle hitch mount that has a lot of up/down adjustability. If I need to raise it up off road, I can.
