Harbor Freight Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier — Assembly & Honest First Impressions

In this video I assemble a Harbor Freight hitch mount cargo carrier and share my first impressions on the build quality, hardware, fitment, and overall value. If you’re looking at a hitch-mounted cargo carrier and want to see how this one goes together, this is my real-world experience. I walk through the assembly process, point out what felt solid, what felt cheaper, and what stood out while putting it together. This isn’t a spec-heavy review or comparison — just an honest look at whether this Harbor Freight cargo carrier seems like a practical option for everyday use. Skills Optional is a hands-on channel about figuring things out, fixing what’s broken, and trying anyway. No experience required — just real work and real progress. #SkillsOptional #harborfreight #cargocarrier #hitchmount
