Not on my JT but on my SX4, when my wife had her Grand Cherokee, use it on that, my son used one on his Compass.
That one in the pic looks exactly like the one my son has.
Mine doesn't fold up when empty - wish it did. It's an older one that's really heavy and rigid.
I have also hauled snow throwers on it.

Yes, mine does not have the side rails since I need it to carry my bikes.

I have one of these that I bought at Harbor Freight years and years ago. Works great and is aluminum so its light.
I have a front hitch on my JK and leave it on pretty much all the time.

I use the cheap $60 steel one from Harbor Freight (500# rating). Does the job for the occasions its needed without investing much into it. Remember in many states you cant obstruct your plate or run at night without plate lit up so keep that in mind, budget another ~$10-$20 for light & wire harness.

an aluminum one was out of my price range
but bought this steel one from Harbor Freight eight years ago, now $70.

Age 75 and weak as a kitten
but have little difficulty handling the steel carrier.

It is used on my TJ to move 200 pound mineral tubs
and for a 15 gallon pesticide spray rig.
It rides very low and on the property dragged the ground in places.
So I bought a double hitch to elevate it.

The double hitch greatly improves the departure angle for off-road driving.
It also allows the option of having a trailer and a rack
but I have not needed to do that yet.

The double hitch will clear the tailgate on my JTR when down.

Time to start spraying herbicides again.

You know, I bought a big heavy duty carrier from Warrior Products years ago with the intent of carrying my monstrous 165qt Yeti cooler. Used them once or twice but now they both just sit in the garage gathering dust. I found it a frustrating endeavor to use because I would have to unload it every time I wanted to access the back hatch on the wife’s old Pathfinder, to open the swing gate on the Wranglers or drop the tailgate on the Gladiator.

My use case just doesn’t “fit” the Hitch carrier anymore…I should prolly get rid of it ?‍♂

Use one on my wifes Durango all the time, when heading up north it carries my cooler and depending on the weather (rain snow etc) other assorted gear. Great for bringing home all the stinky garbage from the cabin

Will your tail gate open when the Cargo Carrier Hitch Basket is hooked up?

The double hitch has adjustment bolts top and bottom
to tighten the draw bars in place
and keep them from swinging around.
