Expert Answers about Mercedes-Benz Hitch Cargo Carrier


  • Cargo Weight Capacity of Hitch Carrier Used on Honda CR-V
  • It sounds like you have a lot of cargo to transport in and on your Honda CR-V. Hitch carriers like the 22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18113 are a great way to move heavy cargo items that might be too difficult to get up on your roof. Most vehicle roofs are limited to a weight rating of 165-lbs or less and this is only a fraction of the weight that can be carried on a hitch carrier. But these hitch carriers are not intended to hold a large rooftop cargo box. The issue is that such a cargo...

  • Hitch Cargo Carrier for 2017 Hyundai Elantra
  • The Off Road Cargo Carrier you're referencing fits Class III and IV hitches with a 2" receiver. The only options for a hitch on your 2017 Hyundai Elantra are Class I with a 1-1/4" receiver.

  • Can etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches be Used in 1-1/4" Class 1 Hitch
  • Hi Chris, Yes, technically you can use the etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # e98874 in a 1-1/4" Class 1 hitch with the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD and Hitch Lock # e98879. That said, using an adapter like this will reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50 percent. Most Class 1 hitches have a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs, so an adapter will cut that to 100 lbs. Since the carrier weighs 48 lbs, that leaves just 52 lbs of carrying capacity. That's...

  • Which Swing Away Hitch Adapter For a Cargo Carrier on 2020 Ram ProMaster City
  • There is a swing away hitch adapter option for your 2020 Ram ProMaster City. I recommend the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches # Y02483 due to its 250lb weight capacity and ease of use. The Thule # Y02483 also includes a lock system to keep it secured to your vehicle. To ensure that the Yakima # Y02483 will work with your cargo carrier will also need to have a dedicated 2 inch shank. I included a video review for the Yakima # Y02483 for you to take...

  • Is Curt Cargo Carrier Compatible With etrailer Hitch on 2024 Subaru Outback
  • The Curt Cargo Carrier # C18113 will definitely work with the etrailer # e25TR on your 2024 Outback. Keep in mind, you will be limited to the 350 lb max tongue weight of the hitch or the max tongue weight of your vehicle. Whichever is lower is what you must follow. You will not be able to load 500 lbs onto the cargo carrier even though it is capable of holding it.

  • Recommended Lightest Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier
  • Our lightest hitch mounted cargo carrier is the Flint Hill Goods 22" x 49" Hitch Mounted Aluminum Cargo Carrier item # FHG59ZR. It weighs only 23 lbs and measures 49-1/4" long x 22-1/4" wide x 3-1/4" tall. We've actually tested it out on a 2022 Tesla Model Y. I went ahead and linked the video we made below so you can see exactly what this cargo carrier will look like on your car.

  • Are There Hitch-Mounted Cargo Carriers Rated For Use On A 5th Wheel
  • Hey Louis, For RV use we recommend using a fixed cargo carrier like the Curt # C18152 because the hinge on folding carriers becomes a failure point due to the less sophisticated suspension of an RV. It fits a 2" trailer hitch receiver, has a 500lb capacity, and is 60" long x 24" wide x 5-1/2" deep.

  • Recommended Cargo Carrier Similar to the Lets Go Aero BigBoss
  • Yeah bad news George, it looks like the 24x48 Lets Go Aero BigBoss Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches H01465 just stopped being made earlier this year so it's not available, unfortunately. We do have other cargo carriers like the 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # C18152 which looks to be the same thing as the Big Boss carrier with a bit higher weight capacity, but it is a bit longer at 60".

  • Can Reese Solo Cargo Carrier # PS1040100 Be Used at Rear of 5th Wheel Trailer
  • Hey Richard, so the Reese cargo carrier part # PS1040100 would be a great option at the rear of a fifth wheel trailer. Unlike bike racks cargo carriers don't have the explicit "can or cannot be used at rear of trailer" rating but what we have found when we have called them is that they strongly recommend using the ones that are not folding like this Reese carrier so it would work well for you.

  • Is There A Cargo Carrier For Hauling A Scooter On A 1-1/4" Hitch Available
  • Hi Robert, We unfortunately do not make custom products but we still may have something that might work. With only a 1-1/4" hitch you're limited to 200lbs of tongue weight capacity and the hitch mounted cargo carrier selection we currently have is pretty limited. You'd be looking at either the 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110 or Reese Cargo Carrier # 63155. Both have similar sizes with the only major difference being whether or not you want sidewalls. There unfortunately isn't a ramp...

  • Is There Support Under Mesh Bottom of Curt Cargo Carrier C18110
  • Hello Charles, Correct, there are no supports directly under the mesh bottom of the Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # C18110. The # C18110 has braces at the front and back that extend out (see photo) so the entire weight isn't supported only by the middle beam, but nothing directly under the mesh. If you want something that does have supports directly under the floor of the carrier you'd need one from Reese, with the correct option depending on your hitch size. Either the...

  • Swing Away Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier For a 2017 Ford F-250 With 2-1/2" Receiver
  • Yes, you will be able to use the Hollywood Racks Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve # HRHA-2 with the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender # PVD20B. Do note that this particular swing away hitch will swing towards the drivers side. Typically the Passenger Side # PVP20B is most popular especially if you end up using it on the side of the road to gain access inside your bed. You will then be able to use the Swagman Skaha 2 Plus Bike Rack with Cargo Carrier # S69SR behind the Kuat Swing Away...

  • Is It Possible To Carry The FHG49ZR Cargo Carrier With A 1-1/4" HItch?
  • Hello Todd. We do sell hitch adapter such as part # HTAD which would allow you to carry the 22x60 Flint Hill Goods Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # FHG49ZR with a 1-1/4" hitch. When using this kind of adapter/extension it is important to note that the tongue weight capacity of your hitch will be reduced by 50%. So, if your 1-1/4" hitch is rated for 200 lbs of tongue weight, you will be limited to carrying only 100 lbs. When you factor in the weight of the adapter itself (10 lbs) plus the...

  • Replacement Hitch Pin for 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier
  • Hi Rosa; the correct replacement pin for your # e98874 is the Threaded Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin Lock for etrailer Cargo Carriers # e99047. This also upgrades you to a lock. I wouldn't say any 5/8" threaded hitch pin will work since there is a large variety with various threads out there.

  • Recommended 2 Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier
  • Hey Scott, great question but no you can not add a bike rack to the end of the 32x48 Reese Solo Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # PS1040100. You'd instead need to use something like the Saris MHS UNO Modular 2-Bike Rack with Cargo Carrier # SAR72MR which is a 2 bike rack with an integrated cargo box. The bike rack portion of this rack has a 70 lb total capacity, and the cargo carrier portion has a 160 lb capacity. As for the trike, you'd need to use the SeaSucker Trike Rack for 1 Trike...

  • Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2024 Honda HR-V
  • Hey Stephanie, the Curt hitch part # C68DR is a great hitch for a cargo carrier to be used with your 2024 Honda HR-V. For a cargo carrier you have two options. The flatter Curt part # C18110 which has a mesh floor and lower side rails or the Curt part # C18145 which has a railed bottom and a taller side rail design. These are only two options that fit this hitch size.

  • Hey Jairo, we do have an EcoHitch that fits your 2018 Mini Cooper S convertible like with the part # EH77FR but the part number you mentioned only fits the hard top models. Then you could use a hitch cargo carrier like the part # 63155 and you'd be set.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For A 2017 Mustang GT Convertible
  • Hey Allan, For a 2017 Ford Mustang GT convertible there's currently only the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24928. This is a 1-1/4" shank with only a 200lb tongue weight capacity so you'll need to be careful to not overload it. If you need a cargo carrier then I recommend the 17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18145.
