The side rails on this hitch basket offer limitless tie-down options. When it's not needed, just fold the cargo carrier up against your vehicle.by: William05/10/2024
Bought for my 2020 XC 40. I’ve taking it on several long distance hauls and it’s frees up a lot of space inside the car. I love that you can open the trunk and get items while having the carrier on. The car handles very well with is on. However I would suggest you buy a hitch stabilizer to stop rattling it make the car a carrier act as one. It folds up when not in use so nothing sticking out when not in use.
by: Cynthia D. Adams06/08/2016
It was very hard to figure out what kind of cargo carrier would be the best for my needs, until I got on your website. Your videos are very informative to help with making the decision of which cargo carrier was best.
It was very easy to put together, and very strong (I put my husband in it)this is perfect for our vacation transportation.
by: Martin04/26/2021
This carrier was super easy to assemble. It is a bit heavy but I was able to mount it onto my hitch alone. I’m using an anti-rattle lock and they work great together.

No issues after a year of use. We used it maybe four times last summer for our trips to the lake. Haven’t noticed any rattling or loosening of boltswelds.
by: Brett09/09/2017
Easy assembly. .10 min...great quality. .love the folding feature...I bought this for my hunting jeep so I have a spot available to load game but not be forced to have a carrier hanging out at all times...as long as the 500lb rating holds up I couldn't be happier ..I won't need near that but the 300 lb carriers seemed a little lite

Installation: Easy
Assembly: Easy
Attached to: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" Item # C13163
Use: Camping equipment. Cooler, Chairs, Sleeping bags, firewood, etc.
Like: The fact that it folds is a huge positive.
What I would change: perhaps adding a ring or two on the sides to allow for bungee cords or rope.
Because the hitch is already a bit low on the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander (stock wheels, tires, suspension) the back part of the basket can bottom out rather easily. It has nothing to do with the carrier itself though.
I would definitely recommend this product! I'm going to use it again in a month for our next camping trip.
by: j chris09/09/2019
Lost my truck recently and needed a way to take in recycling without stinking-up the SUV. Cargo carrier assembled easy and worked great on the first trash run. Flipped-up perfectly for the follow-on shopping trip.

After a year this is still a great product!!
by: Ryan09/07/2022
This is perfect! Our Mazda cx5 didn't have a ton of ground clearance after installing the hitch. This cargo carrier with the hitch riser is perfect to solve that problem. My only complaint is I stepped between the metal supports and the meshvonnthe bottom came loose/bent. Still holds up just find though. Ice had this thing fully loaded, too! Definitely recommend a anti-rattle or stabilizer kit to help stabilize it and lift it up.

The Curt C18151 cargo carrier isnt designed to be stood upon.

Love the cargo carrier for our hitch. However, I wish there were horizontal supports under the metalmesh on the bottom. If anything relatively heavy isn’t on one of the supports, the mesh bends or pops out of place. It looks like it may have been painted after the mesh was in place because the outer edges are starting to rust already. My only complaints. We’ve loaded this thing up high and wide and it works great!

@Ryan We're glad your cargo carrier is working okay for you.
by: Jordan09/13/2023
This cargo carrier is easy to assemble, install, and fold up. The rail is nice for attaching ratchet straps to keep everything in place. It's sadly not wide enough to fit typical lawn chairs, so you'd have to put them sideways and laying on top of the rail. It seems to tilt in one direction. I'm not sure if it bent due to the load I put on it, or if that's the way it came together. It also wobbles a little bit due to (in my opinion) lax manufacturing tolerances. Overall, it does its job well.

If you do not already have one I recommend using part # 63232 which will give you a lock and anti rattle device in one.
by: Li03/16/2018
The cargo carrier is very well built and the powder coating make the carrier look real nice , very easy to assemble. Got it just in time for my 500 mile road trip.

Still looks great after a year. Would still recommend to anyone looking for a cargo carrier.
by: Michael07/29/2019
Pros:
- 6 hour trip two ways and no major issues.
- Fits well on Jeep Grand Cherokee
Cons:
- Multiple build issues. The first issue was there was slag inside of the bar that the other side was supposed to fit into, which made it impossible to put together. I had to buy a metal file small enough to fit in there and file away for 15 minutes to get it to fit.
- One of the upright flat panels that you bolt the other panel to to connect the sides was missing 95% of its weld, there was just a dot instead of a weld all the way across it.
- After the whole thing was put together there were gaps in the cross bars where they should have been flush. No matter how I tweaked the bolt tightening they wouldn’t go straight together.
I would have returned it but I was leaving on my trip the day after I got it so I had to make it work. And the box was destroyed. Spend the money to get a higher quality carrier.
by: Stebve M08/26/2015
I received my cargo carrier and had it assembled in about an hour.
It fits perfectly, helps protect the spare from theft. I can access the 110 ac cord as well
as the water heater.
Great product, great customer service and great shipment.
Now I can take a generator and other extras to Yellowstone NationPark in October.

Great additional storage/ transportoption option without having a pickup. Rack has great quality as well as strength. It works great for safely transporting fuel in my compact vechicle
by: Christopher11/10/2021
Easy to assemble. Welds questionable. Paint quality poor. The flip hinge has play hopefully not noisy when loaded. Time will tell
by: Tiffany 07/14/2023
This cargo carrier was excellent for a cross-country roadtrip we took last summer and we've used it many times since! We use it with our 2019 Subaru Crosstrek.
by: Taylor 08/08/2023
Very sturdy. You don't realize it's there when driving. Enough clearance from twin tip exhaust to avoid melting of cargo out the back. Folding function is great. This product has made road trips much easier.
by: Mark 02/05/2024
It’s been one year since I bought this, but still no issue. Great product!
by: Bill04/12/2019
The 20x59 inch Curt cargo carrier works well for my Dodge minivan. The price was very reasonable and construction seems durable and heavy. Assembly was not difficult. It can be installed on the van by one person, but definitely easier with two. I got the 2inch hitch version. I can fit two 35 gallon trash cans in it, plus a smaller can, with room to fit misc trash. I can also fit two 22 inch walk behind mowers on it, with gas and string trimmer. I can fit about 5 buckets of sand in the winter, 5 gal each, chainsaws, tools, gas, oil, anything you wouldn’t want inside the vehicle. I’ve had this for about a year and it continues to be a very helpful accessory.

would a scooter fit on this? it weighs about 200lbs and is 26 inches wide x 67 inches long.
by: 04/13/2022
Easy installation and solid build! We assembled the cargo carrier and installed the hitch very easily! Took it on a trip and it did great, we love it. Thanks so much etrailer!
by: Ed05/22/2023
Arrived very well packaged, not a scratch or dent.
I suggest downloading the instructions from the etrailer product page, the included instruction sheet is not very informative.
I also drilled an extra hole in the shank so that I could move the basket close to the back of the truck when carrying a load. I just do not like the basket out that far when driving around. My older basket had the extra hole.
by: Douglas10/26/2022
Rack performance is excellent…geometry of the bottom edge relative to the low height of the hitch relative to the road surface requires thinking ahead when there’s significant difference in road surface pitch (for example backing into a steep driveway from a horizontal pavement would result in the carrier dragging for a short distance)
by: Michael 02/28/2024
Very good fit and finish. Performed as described.
by: Michael03/16/2022
Easy to assemble. Don't forget a receiver hitch pin.

Still have to bang the pin in with a 5# maul. Holes never loosened up.

Worked like a charm. I was skeptical about using this, as I’d never seen one before. On the trip to Florida, I did see multiple other vehicles with racks.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Hitch Cargo Carrier
- Roof Cargo Basket and Hitch Cargo Carrier for 2021 Toyota RAV4For a roof tray/basket that fits your 2021 Toyota RAV4 with factory installed raised rails you'd want the part # RR76QX or if you have the flush mounted rails we have the part # RR36QX. But if you had a set of crossbars already you could use the etrailer cargo basket part # e98914 which would fit them directly. For a hitch cargo carrier the first thing you'd need is a hitch (if not present) which for that the Curt # C13416 would be a great option. Then for a 20 inch by 59 inch carrier...
view full answer... - Can I Turn the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151 Into A Swing Away Carrier?Yes, there is an attachment that will allow the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151 to swing away from your vehicle tp access the trunk of your 2016 Ford Expedition. I recommend adding the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches, part # Y02483, to this setup. The addition of this item will allow your CurtCargo Carrier to swing away by 180°. Please keep in mind that anytime you add an adapter you will reduce your maximum hitch tongue weight by 50%. I have included...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Cargo Carrier for 2016 Subaru Impreza WagonThe only trailer hitch that will fit your 2016 Subaru Impreza Wagon that's rated high enough for a cargo carrier with a deer on it is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Class III # 76084. It has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 525 pounds which will plenty for you. We don't have any pictures of it on an Impreza so I don't know how hidden it will be but it's coated with a black powder finish over an e-coat finish for rust protection. The Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151 is one of the largest carriers...

Starting with the trailer hitch, the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch # C13153 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe SE and will work great. This hitch will use existing holes in the vehicle's frame for a no-drill installation. I have attached an installation video on your vehicle that you can use for reference. Moving on to the cargo carrier, the Curt 24x60 Cargo Carrier # C18151 that you also mentioned will work perfectly with the...

We have several trailer hitch receivers available for you to choose from. I recommend using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75237 as the Class III capabilities of this hitch will allow for a far greater variety of hitch mounted accessories to be used in comparison to Class I and Class II hitch receivers. For a hitch mounted cargo carrier, I recommend using the 24x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches part # C18151 as this is one...
view full answer... - Comparing Benefits Of Carrying Spare Tire On Spare Tire Carrier Versus Hitch Mounted Cargo CarrierThere are a couple of different ways to look at carrying your spare tire. With the Curt Trailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier, part # C31006, it will hold the tire securely upright and give you a little more clearance at the back of your vehicle. This can be great when using parking spaces. On the other hand you can use a hitch mounted cargo carrier like part # C18151, but if you have a 13-inch or bigger tire it may not lay flat because of the size of the carrier. That could be a hassle...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Wiring and Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier for a 2018 Honda OdysseyThe wiring kit that I recommend and is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Honda Odyssey is the Vehicle Wiring Harness Kit with 4 Pole Trailer Connector # C59496. This will need to be spliced into the wiring that is behind your tail light housing and then a 12V power wire run up to your battery. If you do not already have a cargo carrier then I recommend going with the 20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # C18151 which is one of our most popular cargo carriers. It will fit in a 2 inch trailer...
view full answer... - Hitch Cargo Carrier for 2016 Jeep Grand CherokeeA super popular hitch cargo carrier that would work well on your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the part # C18151. I attached a demo video that shows the carrier being used on a similar 2015 Grand Cherokee. Then for a bag to fit the carrier the etrailer # e98990 would be an excellent option. If you need a trailer hitch you would want the part # 75699 which is a confirmed fit.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2008 Honda PilotFirst, the 2008 Honda Pilot with the factory 2 inch trailer hitch or even an aftermarket hitch has the face of the receiver pretty much flush with the rear bumper. That is important because it means that most if not all carriers will clear the rear of the vehicle. The Curt carrier # C18150 would work well. Fixed carriers are sturdy because there are no additional pivot points on them. But when not in use the carrier will just be sitting back there and may cause clearance issues in some...
view full answer... - How Many Bolts Hold the Basket to the Shank on Curt Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier # C18151When attaching the basket portion to the shank on Curt cargo carrier # C18151, you will use 3 bolts. Two bolts are at the closest part of the shank and the other is at the very last spot on the opposite end. I have included a link to the instructions that shows a diagram indicated how all of the parts go together.
view full answer... - Best Trailer Hitch Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2014 Dodge Durango RTFor your Dodge Durango RT that has a hitch like the Draw Tite part # 75713 installed the best hitch carrier for you will be based on what you value. The most popular option we have is the Curt part # C18151 which I attached a review video for on a similar 2015 Durango as yours. This carrier has walls that are 6-1/2 inches tall, can fold up, and is 659 inch by 24 inches. This has a 500 lb capacity as well. For an all-around carrier this would be an excellent option. I attached a test course...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2010 Honda PilotThe most popular carrier for a 2 inch hitch and that folds is the Curt carrier, # C18151. When folded up, the carrier will be 6 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole. You will need to measure on your 2010 Honda Pilot to make sure you have enough clearance for this carrier when folded up. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. The etrailer cargo carrier, # e98874, will be further when folded up, 9-1/2 inches.

However these bars are not a fit on the 2012 Outback Wagon. We do have aftermarket roof racks for the car that are designed to fit either the version with a totally bare roof or the version with raised side rails that run front-to-back. All appear on the linked page which shows these two roof configurations. Racks vary in their own weight ratings. When...
view full answer... - Cargo Carrier and 20 Cubic Foot Cargo Bag Compatibility and FitThe etrailer Cargo Bag - Water Resistant # 988501 is 59" x 24" x 24" and is most often used with a cargo carrier that is just slightly larger. I recommend the 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs # C18151 that we use in the attached video with this cargo bag.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Add Light Kit to Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151What I recommend for Curt cargo carrier # C18151 is light kit # 20174. To mount the lights you will also need 2 of bracket # BK70BB. You can use self-tapping screws to secure the brackets to the top, rear rail of the carrier. This set up is the most cost effective option. It would plug into a 4-way trailer wiring connector. Which if you didn't have that on your 2014 Hyundai Tucson you'd need the part # 118501 as well. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Can 2018 Kia Sorento Carry Luggage at Rear on Trailer HitchYes, if you installed a trailer hitch on your 2018 Kia Sorento like the Draw Tite part # 75908 that you referenced you could use a cargo carrier like the Curt part # C18151 to carry luggage. Or if you were looking for an enclosed carrier, we have options for that as well like Yakima Swinging Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Trailer Hitch # Y62VR.
view full answer... - What Trimming is Involved in the Installation of the # C99FR on My 2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid?Yes, you will have to complete some minor trimming when installing the Curt Hitch # C99FR on your 2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. I went ahead and attached a diagram that shows the dimensions of the trimming you need to do (the shaded areas). The great thing about the Curt hitch is that it installs close to the rear bumper. The distance from the center of the hitch's pinhole to the outside face of your bumper is only 1-1/2 inches. This makes the Curt hitch a great choice if you want to...

- Bike Rack and Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Toyota SiennaTo install a bike rack on your 2014 Toyota Sienna, you'd first need to install a trailer hitch, if you don't have one already. The Curt Class III trailer hitch, part # C13105 would be an excellent choice. The Class III hitch uses the more common 2 inch receiver opening, which would give you a better selection of hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack like the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR or a cargo carrier like the Curt # C18151. For carrying 4 bikes, you cannot go wrong with...
view full answer... - Cargo Carrier For 2015 Subaru Outback WagonThe Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151 is an excellent product that will meet your needs, but be advised that it will require you to install a Class III hitch on your 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon. Our custom fit hitch product # e98847 would be an excellent addition to your Outback Wagon, and will allow you to use the Curt Cargo Carrier with your vehicle. Another product you might consider that pairs well with the Curt carrier is their waterproof Cargo Bag with mounting straps # C18211.
view full answer... - Could a License Plate be Attached to a Folding Curt Cargo Carrier So its Visible When Folded UpYou could pretty easily attach your license plate to the mesh flooring of the Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18151 by using zip ties so that it would be visible when folded up. In the folded up position the taillights should still be visible if they were behind the cargo carrier since the flooring is mesh and would not block the lights. This cargo carrier is not designed to be used as a battering ram or to cushion the blow of hitting a car. It would work on the front of your vehicle in the...

Honestly, there's not a big price differential between a Class II and a Class III hitch, so you might as well go with the Class III that feautres the more common 2 inch receiver that also has many more available accessories that will fit. I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13409. With the addition of a # HT02 reducer sleeve, you could then easily use your existing bike rack that fits a 1-1/4 inch receiver. This is a much better way to go because using...
view full answer... - Best Way to Carry Bikes and Cargo on a 2018 Honda OdysseyIf you were to use the Hitch Extender # HE18 with your Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151 then the furthest edge of the carrier would stick out about 62-1/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole on your Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver. When we installed this trailer hitch on a 2018 Honda Odyssey we found that from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest edge of the vehicle was 4". This means that the cargo carrier will sit out about 58-1/4" (almost 5') from the rearmost part of your...
view full answer... - Folding Cargo Carrier For 2 Inch Receiver On 2007 GMC YukonThe carrier I recommend is the etrailer Cargo Carrier, part # e98874. This is a 24 X 60 inch carrier that will fold when not in use. The distance from the center of the hitch pin to the closest edge of the carrier when folded is 9-1/2 inches, and when folded down it is 19-1/2 inches. If the cargo you are carrying blocks the tail lights, you will want to install tail lights on the carrier like part # e98943-44LED. You might also consider Curt Cargo Carrier, part # C18151. This is a 24...

If you click the provided link, you can see exactly how to take this measurement. The Curt Folding Carrier you referenced, part # C18151 will need a minimum of 6 inches of clearance...
