A hitch receiver mounted cargo carrier has a series of mount stations onto which various accessories can be removably attached. A handle, either manual or attachable to another vehicle, is received within the hitch mountable receiver tube. Vertical members, which can hold, grills, fishing rods or act as rails, etc., are attached within gaps between grid blocks located on either end of the carrier. A pair of latitudinal channels, which are part of holding rails of the top surface of the carrier, can support horizontal members, such as canopy rails. Landing gear, with or without wheels attached can be pivotally mounted proximate either end of the carrier.

1. An article support system comprising a carrier having a frame that has a front end, an opposing back end, joined by a first side and an opposing second side, a top surface and a bottom surface, such that a hitch receiver receivable receiver tube extends outwardly from the front end and such that a pair of tube members form a portion of the top surface such that each tube member has a tube channel extending between the first side and the second side and such that the bottom surface has an open front channel disposed proximate the first end and an open back channel disposed proximate the back end, the front channel and the back channel joined by an open first side channel disposed proximate the first side and an open second side channel disposed proximate the second side such that a first pivot bolt opening faces the front channel and a second pivot bolt opening faces the front channel and aligns with the first pivot bolt opening, each tube channel, the front channel, and the back channel all being in perpendicular orientation to the receiver tube. 2. The article support system as in claim 1 wherein at least one of the receiver tubes has a series of spring-loaded button openings disposed on an upper wall thereof. 3. The article support system as in claim 2 further comprising a third pivot bolt opening facing the back channel and a fourth pivot bolt opening facing the back channel and aligning with the third pivot bolt opening. 4. The article support system as in claim 3 further comprising at least one tray attached to the receiver tube and accessible through the top surface. 5. The article support system as in claim 4 further comprising a series of spaced apart vertically oriented block channels located at the back end of the carrier. 6. The article support carrier as in claim 5 wherein the block channels are formed by attaching a series of spaced apart grid blocks to the back end of the carrier and attaching a plate to the grid blocks, each block channel bounded by a pair of the grid blocks, the back end of the carrier and the plate. 7. The article support carrier as in claim 6 further comprising a series of grid bolt openings disposed within the plate and located between each pair of adjoining grid blocks. 8. The article support system as in claim 4 further comprising a series of spaced apart vertically oriented block channels located at the front end of the carrier. 9. The article carrier as in claim 8 wherein the block channels are formed by attaching a series of spaced apart grid blocks to the back end of the carrier and attaching a plate to the grid blocks, each block channel bounded by a pair of the grid blocks, the back end of the carrier and the plate. 10. The article support carrier as in claim 9 further comprising a series of grid bolt openings disposed within the plate and located between each pair of adjoining grid blocks. 11. The article support system as in claim 1 further comprising that a third pivot bolt opening facing the back channel and a fourth pivot bolt opening facing the back channel and aligning with the third bolt opening. 12. The article support system as in claim 1 further comprising at least one tray attached to the receiver tube and accessible through the top surface. 13. The article support system as in claim 1 further comprising a series of spaced apart vertically oriented block channels located at the back end of the carrier. 14. The article support carrier as in claim 13 wherein the block channels are formed by attaching a series of spaced apart grid blocks to the back end of the carrier and attaching a plate to the grid blocks, each block channel bounded by a pair of the grid blocks, the back end of the carrier and the plate. 15. The article support carrier as in claim 14 further comprising a series of grid bolt openings disposed within the plate and located between each pair of adjoining grid blocks. 16. The article support system as in claim 1 further comprising a series of spaced apart vertically oriented block channels located at the front end of the carrier. 17. The article support carrier as in claim 16 wherein the block channels are formed by attaching a series of spaced apart grid blocks to the back end of the carrier and attaching a plate to the grid blocks, each block channel bounded by a pair of the grid blocks, the back end of the carrier and the plate. 18. The article support carrier as in claim 17 further comprising a series of grid bolt openings disposed within the plate and located between each pair of adjoining grid blocks.
