Abstract: A system for an expandable cargo carrier including a carrier assembly, a communication assembly and a vehicle assembly is disclosed. The carrier assembly includes a carrier that is secured to a vehicle of the vehicle assembly with an attaching member. The carrier includes a floor defined by telescopic members. The telescopic members expand or retract to achieve an expanded or retracted configuration, respectively, for the carrier. The carrier is expanded or retracted through manual or automatic means. The communication assembly includes a motor that is engaged to expand or retract the telescopic members automatically. Additionally, communication assembly permits carrier to be sized remotely. Alternatively, telescopic members are expanded or retracted through manual manipulation of the telescopic members. Carrier is sized as necessary by a user to accommodate a cargo load to be transported within carrier.
