Vehicle Fit Series -- Hummer H3

It's a fact of life: vehicles are as unique as their owners, coming in every color, shape and size. Here at StowAway2, we have taken every effort to ensure that there is a StowAway2 Cargo Carrier for every driver AND every vehicle.

Some vehicles, however, are trickier to fit than others: spare tires, rear ladders, different hitch sizes, you name it. This post will initiate a series of posts that will examine known vehicle fit issues with the StowAway2. We'll focus on some of America's most popular vehicles and explain EXACTLY how our Carriers will work with these vehicles.

What better vehicle to start with than... the HUMMER H3!


As you can see, we've got a huge rear-mounted spare tire and an overly-large door to deal with. The good news is that StowAway2 Cargo Carriers will work on the Hummer H3, with some limitations.

Our Swingaway carriers will sit behind the H3’s spare tire with no problem. H3 owners: to access the contents of your carrier, you will simply swing the box away slightly, open your lid, and then swing the carrier closed. One nice feature is that Swingaway carriers will enable the box to ride as close to your vehicle as possible: the carrier will sit only 2 or 3 inches behind the H3's spare tire.

Please be advised: Because of the H3’s large rear door, our Swingaway carriers will not allow access to the rear of your vehicle.
