Hitch Basket

Part Number: 8AHB01

Engineered for the toughest jobs, our fully American-made Hitch Basket transforms any vehicle with a 2” receiver hitch into a cargo-carrying powerhouse that handles coolers, sandbags, mulch, snow blowers, lawn equipment, firewood and more with ease.


This heavy-duty basket delivers unmatched strength with a revolutionary lightweight profile and is ideal for messy or heavy items that are unsuitable for the vehicle’s interior or roof.


Benefits Spotlight:

  • Secure bolt attachment (vs. hitch pins) resulting in enhanced stability and less rattling
  • Built-in drainage channels direct rainwater off the back of the basket
  • Easy low-to-the-ground loading eliminates the need to lift heavy or bulky items up higher

Construction & Materials:

  • Impact-resistant plastic frame won’t rust, chip or corrode, unlike metal options, backed by a 100% aluminum frame designed for durability
  • Lightweight aluminum receiver mount for superior strength and durability
  • Reinforced aluminum support structure is intentionally engineered to handle a 500 lb. weight capacity
  • 100% designed, engineered and manufactured in the USA by WeatherTech

Installation & Fit:

  • Simple two-piece assembly. The basket comes fully assembled and ready to attach to the aluminum frame. Simply bolt it to the aluminum receiver frame. Hardware and Allen key are included.
  • Weighs only 27 lbs. total, making it easy for even just one person to pick up, maneuver and install it.

What’s included with my purchase?

  • Heavy-duty basket with attached base

Hitch Basket Installation
Is Hitch Basket made in the USA?
We are proud to say that Hitch Basket is designed, engineered and manufactured in America with precision and care by our skilled team at WeatherTech.
Why does American Made matter?
Simple — a USA-made product will last longer. Compared to cheap, price-first Chinese parts and products, an American-made product by WeatherTech uses superior materials for a quality result that lasts a lifetime.
What hitch size does this fit?
Hitch Basket is designed to fit standard 2” receiver hitches.
What weight capacity is Hitch Basket tested to hold?
Up to 500 lbs. Always use caution and common sense when loading, unloading and driving with your Hitch Basket installed. Never exceed the tongue weight capacity of your vehicle (see vehicle owner manual).
What is Hitch Basket made of?
The basket is made from high strength, impact-resistant plastic, while the frame is 100% aluminum for superior strength.
What is the weight of the Hitch Basket?
Hitch Basket weighs only 27 lbs., making it easy for just one person to pick it up and install it.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
A 15/16” bolt will need to be tightened with the appropriate tool. Installation takes about five minutes.
Will cargo bounce or rattle while driving with a Hitch Basket installed?
You can expect minimal movement when properly secured. The bolt-through design helps minimize hitch pin wobble commonly seen with other carriers.
Are there accessories available?
Yes. 6-foot ratchet tie-down straps are available. The straps secure around the basket rails for maximum cargo stability.

Lifetime Limited Warranty

WeatherTech Direct, LLC warrants that our products will be free from any defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the original purchaser and only for the original vehicle they were installed in. That does not mean that a product that simply and naturally wears out from normal use is a candidate for a warranty replacement or a refund. Like tires, brake pads or the shoes on your feet, everything wears out and when it does, that does not mean you did not receive good value for your money.

We are reasonable people and we believe in true customer satisfaction. We will work with you for a fair resolution to any issue you may have. Fair is defined as being fair to both you the customer and to WeatherTech. We do not charge extra for our products to our vast majority of customers so we can accommodate ridiculous warranty claims by the few. Our decision is final and will consist of either replacement of your product at no charge or charge you a prorated amount for a replacement, meaning we may extend a discount to you to purchase an exact replacement. Our goal is to keep our customers happy for a lifetime and always reach a fair resolution to any issue. Proof of purchase is required.

Exclusions to this warranty include wear due to severe abrasive conditions, chemical contamination, such as spilled gasoline, bleach, vehicle accidents, misuse, abuse, incorrect installation, incorrect use, etc.
