Unrelated, but I am surprised they let you in the campgrounds with that fire wood. You are really only supposed to use wood from the area.

This is interesting.
I'm going to move this from the 5th Gen section to OT where more people may benefit.

It's like 101 to never bring firewood not from the area, into the area.
Unintended Consequences of Transporting Firewood | The EPA Blog
Frequently Asked Questions about Firewood Policies - Great Smoky Mountains National Park (U.S. National Park Service)
Anyways
I have the Kuat Pivot, which I mainly use for my bike rack on the 4runner, that I also pair up with the hitch carrier. Works well to unlatch and swing the entire bike rack or carrier out. For those with dogs, or who want access to the trunk without the carrier in the way, Check out the Kuat Pivot. It does add about 10 inches of length to whatever you are putting in the hitch though.

I'd probably scrub the post about transporting firewood.

Your in Virginia and the Great Smokey Mountains National park is not in Texas. I'll leave it there and stop beating the dead horse.

The carriers are very handy. What class hitch do you have? I, II, III.
The Tongue Weight Capacity of hitch is something to consider when loading it up.

No idea. It's a 5th gen, 2018. Still haven't decided if I'm going to go 48" or 60" wide.

If tow capacity is 5k pounds it's class 3 most of time.

What is that model for that $$$? - @Soneill
Hey
@ Soneill
What model did you get?
That is EXACTLY what I need it for (no rules where I am in CO to move wood I took down in my yard to the spot I am camping).
I need it within 2 days so lest I find a store with it (NOT a fan of HF)- I have to Amazon it. I have a shot spine and firewood on my roof is a nightmare.
THANKS anyone that can suggest what that model is at that low price.
COS
Was it this? I can have it b4 I leave. Cheap and fine for the little I'd use it.
