An integrated carrier rack system for motor vehicles. Generally, the system
includes a receiving unit, having rear and forward ends, integrated into a
rear wall, such as a rear section of a trunk lid, a tailgate of a pickup
truck, or a rear door of a van, a side wall, such as a side of a truck
bed, a side door, or a side of a trunk lid, or a front wall, such as a
front of a bus, a front of a truck, or a front of a motor home. The
receiving unit may be positioned such that the rear end is directed toward
the outside of the vehicle and forms an engaging structure in the rear,
side, or front wall. The system further includes an immobilizing system
attached to the receiving unit, a carrier bar engaged to the receiving
unit, and various attachment units. The integrated carrier rack system is
user friendly and may be applied to any motor vehicle to carry an
assortment of items.
