An open-top cargo box transformable into a picnic table with attached benches releaseably attaches to a skeleton carrier equipped with a draw bar that engages a vehicle receiver hitch. When configured as a cargo box, a first bench functions as a floor of the box, the centrally-folded table top functions as a rear wall, and the second bench functions as the front wall. Four side panels, each of which is rigidly secured to one end of a bench and pivotally secured to a corner of a table top half, function as side walls. When transformed into a table with attached benches, the first bench and its attached side panels are lifted upwardly and rotated rearwardly 270 degrees, while unfolding the table top. Detachable end braces interconnect the ends of both benches, forming a rigid structure. Two folding leg assemblies beneath each bench support the entire structure.
