What’s special about it? Pakmule’s hitch cargo carriers stand out due to their anti-wobble system, lightweight, rust-free material and unblocked access to vehicle trunks and beds, Sartin said. “We try to innovate constantly with these products and listen to any feedback we can get,” he said. Customers can choose from a variety of packages for their truck or SUV, which include Pro and Scout cargo racks, motorcycle racks, accessory trays and hitch anti-wobble locks for non-Pakmule products. Pakmule’s carriers can be used for fall hunting trips, camping outings, long distance road trips and more.

Kansas Sartin founded Pakmule in 2017.

After welding a prototype cargo carrier for his truck in 2012 and eventually perfecting it with aluminum, Sartin said he realized how useful it could be for virtually anyone. In 2017, Sartin founded Pakmule—a truck and SUV outtter that specializes in cargo carriers. “I wanted to make it easier for anyone to load up all of their gear and get out of town for a trip on a Friday,” Sartin said.
