A vehicle-mounted carrier for transporting equipment, such as bicycles, includes a hitch receiver engagement portion having a hitch engagement member engageable with the hitch receiver, and an equipment support portion pivotably interconnected with the hitch receiver portion. The equipment support portion includes a mast defining upper and lower ends, an extension member that is movable between lowered and raised positions, a drive arrangement for selectively moving the extension member between the lowered and raised positions, and an equipment support arrangement carried by the extension member. The equipment support arrangement is movable via the drive arrangement between lowered and raised positions upon movement of the extension member between the lowered and raised positions. A tilt actuator arrangement provides pivoting movement of the equipment support portion about the pivot connection from an upright position to a tilt position in response to movement of the extension member to a tilt actuation position.
