Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier:
The rucRak Grunt & rucRak Gunny

The Cargo Carrier that does More:
The rucRak Multi-purpose Cargo System

Stop settling for one-hit-wonder cargo carriers that sag under pressure, rattle like a cow-bell and block your tailgate. The rucRak Cargo Carrier System is engineered for those who demand serious utility. Delivering up to 250 lbs of dynamic capacity, this modular powerhouse allows you to haul heavy gear, bulky coolers, and tools without sacrificing an inch of rear vehicle access.

Whether you are running a built Jeep on 37s or outfitting a Ford Bronco for an overlanding expedition, a camper, RV or SUV, this is the last hitch rack you will ever buy.

Engineered for the Trails, Built to Last

  • Zero Rust, Lifelong Durability: Crafted entirely from premium 3/16 Aircraft-Grade Aluminum and secured with high-grade Stainless Steel Hardware. It is completely rust-proof, meaning salt air, mud, and grueling winters will never compromise its structural integrity.
  • Rock-Solid, No-Wobble Stability: Unlike flimsy, mass-produced racks that bounce on the highway, our rigid, heavy-duty frame ensures zero wobble—keeping your gear dead-locked and secure over the most brutal off-road terrain.
  • Maximum Ground Clearance: Designed with an optimized departure angle so you will not scrape or bottom out when navigating steep inclines, rocky trails, or deep ruts.

Uncompromised Rear Access: Grunt vs. Gunny

We solved the biggest headache in the cargo carrier industry: tailgate access. Your gear should never trap you out of your own rig.

  • The Grunt (Tailgate-Mounted Rigs): Tailor-made for Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos. By utilizing our specialized tire-gate dual-mount system, the load is carried safely to prevent hinge damage, while allowing your tailgate and spare tire to swing open smoothly in a single motion.
  • The Gunny (SUVs, Trucks, RVs, & Vans): Equipped with a heavy-duty swing-arm system that pivots out to a full 120 degrees. Open your rear hatch, tailgate, or barn doors completely without unloading your cargo basket.

13-in-1 Modularity: Beyond the Basket

  • Adapt on the Fly: Our lightweight design isn't just a basket. It transforms from a high-capacity cargo carrier into a bike rack or an all-terrain pull wagon in seconds.
  • Customizable Loadouts: Built with integrated tie-down points and optional mounts for RotopaX fuel or water containers, giving you absolute control over your payload.
