A cargo carrier assembly attachable to a vehicle cargo hitch is provided that deploys therefrom and supports cargo items from the rear of the vehicle during transport. The assembly comprises a T-shaped member slidably engaged to a trailer hitch receiver. The T-shaped member comprises a crossbar with a first and second support member end. The support member ends comprises a bar member support sleeve below a slat member support sleeve, wherein a pair of bar members or slat members can be extended from the sleeves and secured under different cargo items. The extended slats engage tubular sleeve members affixed to the base of cargo items, while the bar members are adapted to support larger cargo items or a cargo tray thereon. Magnetic pins engage the slats to maintain their deployed position, while threaded hand fasteners secure the bar members when deployed. A hinged cover plate shrouds the assembly during non-use.
