This is my full video in which I compare the pros and cons of transporting cargo with small cars using various methods: a hitch-mounted cargo carrier, a rooftop cargo box, and a small utility trailer. It is a supplement to my article at wp.me/p7YnQB-18h.
The video became much longer than planned, totaling nearly an hour before eventually trimming it to 29 minutes. I have a lot of respect for KZfaqrs who present long videos. Their production is VERY time-consuming. This video was so tiring to create that I also wondered if it would captivate my audience at its current length. Plus, what if a viewer is only interested in ONE of the cargo transport options? Would they watch the rest?
Therefore, I've also created separate video versions, which are shorter and easier to digest:
