Product Description

Weathertech Hitch Basket

The WeatherTech Hitch Cargo Basket is a premium cargo solution designed for Volkswagen drivers who need extra hauling capability without sacrificing interior space. Engineered and manufactured in the USA, this hitch-mounted cargo basket delivers exceptional strength in a lightweight, rust-free design—perfect for transporting bulky or messy items such as coolers, firewood, mulch, lawn equipment, snow blowers, and outdoor gear.

This cargo basket mounts securely to a standard 2-inch receiver hitch, making it a universal exterior cargo option for Volkswagen vehicles equipped with a factory or aftermarket hitch. Unlike traditional steel baskets, the WeatherTech design features an impact-resistant molded basket paired with a reinforced aluminum frame, eliminating corrosion while maintaining a high load capacity.

A bolt-on mounting system provides increased stability compared to standard hitch pins, helping minimize movement and road noise. Integrated drainage channels allow water to flow away from the basket, while the low loading height makes it easier to lift and secure heavy or oversized cargo. Despite its rugged construction, the basket weighs only 27 pounds, allowing for easy handling and installation.

The reinforced aluminum support structure is intentionally engineered to support up to 500 pounds of cargo, giving Volkswagen owners confidence whether hauling work materials or adventure gear.
