Chevrolet Suburban

The Chevy Suburban is an instantly recognizable piece of Americana. When outfitted with a Black Max Swingaway Cargo Carrier, it takes on a bit of a Batmobile-on-steroids vibe.

Rear View

For larger families, the Chevy Suburban makes everyday-driving much more comfortable. But for those long-distance summer or winter holiday trips? Space in the Suburban is still an issue.

The solution? Simply plug a StowAway2 into the Suburban's heavy-duty trailer hitch and away you go-- bringing all your gear along, leaving nothing behind.

Subaru Outback

While we don't recommend using one of our enclosed StowAway2 Cargo Boxes on the Subaru Outback (unless it has an upgraded towing package with a tongue weight capacity greater than 230 pounds), our Swingaway Cargo Rack works great.

Our Swingaway Cargo Rack uses the same frame as our StowAway2 Swingaway Cargo Carriers, so it pivots a full 180 degrees for total liftgate clearance.

It features a very large basket making it easy to transport big, bulky items that might not fit inside a box. Keep in mind, you can add a Bike Rack to the Swingaway Cargo Rack and transport up to 4 bikes as well.

The Swingaway Cargo Rack is available to fit either a 2" trailer hitch or a 1.25" hitch.

Kia Sedona

By popular demand, we are pulling together an image gallery of StowAway2 Cargo Carriers on various vehicles. This will build over the months to come, but here's a few shots of a StowAway2 Cargo Carrier on the very popular Kia Sedona.

This particular Sedona is fully kitted out-- with 16 cubic storage space in its rooftop box and an additional 16 cubic feet with its Max Swingaway on the hitch.

Alternate Angle:

As you can see, our Max Swingaway offers great trailer hitch storage space with full-function tail lights built in to the box.

Golf Club Storage

Looking for an easy way to store your Golf Clubs while you travel? Not enough room in the trunk? Click on the banner above (or here) to see why accessorizing your vehicle with a StowAway2 Cargo Carrier is like traveling with a hitch-mounted caddy.

The StowAway Max Carrier is Perfect for Folding Bikes

Looking for an easy, convenient way to transport two folding bikes, like the ones pictured above? If you are like a lot of RVers and travelers we hear from, you are looking for a way to transport your folding bikes without packing them inside. The Max Swingaway cargo carrier is a great option.

With 16 cubic feet of storage space, our Max Cargo Box has plenty of room -- in the picture above, you can see two Dahon folding bikes fitting nicely inside the Max.  While not every folding bike model will fit inside the Max but some of the most common ones do.

If you're wondering whether your Dahon folding bike will fit in our carrier, take its length, width and height measurements (once it's folded down) and email them to us. We're glad to confirm the fit for you!

Boxes and Frames a la carte

Just checking in quickly here at the end of a brilliantly warm Friday to let all of you weekend bloggers know that, for the first time on the internet, you can purchase the two major components of a StowAway2 Cargo Carrier -- the Cargo Box and the Steel Frame -- a la carte!

We have a total of 3 cargo boxes, which are available in both Black and White.

We have 7 different frame styles, some that pivot 180 degrees to allow total trunk access and others that are simply solid steel platforms for transporting your gear.

Being able to order these a la carte is great if you:

1. Want to upgrade your current box to our new Max Box.

2. Want to upgrade your frame from a fixed hitch mount style to our versatile Swingaway style.

3. Already own a frame or tray and simply need a box or... already own a box and simply need a frame.

Whether your transportation needs fall into one of these three categories or you've got your own need, don't hesitate to check out the latest additions to the StowAway2.com Product Catalogue.
