<p>A cargo carrier for increasing the luggage carrying s capacity of a motor vehicle is mountable to the rear of a vehicle. The cargo carrier has a first framework for enabling the cargo carrier to be secured to the rear of the vehicle and a second framework hingedly connected to the first framework to allow the second framework to pivot 10 away from the vehicle when access to the vehicle is required. The second framework has a cradle for supporting one or more modular containers for carrying items and equipment. The containers are interchangeable depending upon the nature of the items and equipment being is transported. The advantage of the cargo carrier is that it can be loaded/unloaded at normal height when standing on the ground next to the vehicle thereby avoiding having to climb upon part of the vehicle to reach a roof mounted luggage storage box and the modular container can be 20 pivoted away from the vehicle to gain access to and through the rear of the vehicle while the cargo carrier remains fixedly attached to the vehicle.
