Expert Answers about Chevrolet Hitch Cargo Carrier


  • Available Class II Hitch Cargo Carriers for 1-1/4-Inch Hitches
  • The hitch cargo carriers made for 1-1/4-inch Class I and Class II hitch receivers will usually not be the folding type. The reason is that any folding/hinge mechanism will introduce a point of weakness in the carrier's structure, as compared to a fixed carrier without a hinge. When you are already starting off with the smaller 1-1/4-inch shank, adding more potential for weak spots deters carrier makers from trying to make a folding hitch cargo carrier for these hitches. The best I can...

  • Recommended Cargo Carrier for Class I Trailer Hitch on 2011 Honda Element
  • Sounds like you have a Class I trailer hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. We do have four cargo carriers that are compatible with Class I trailer hitches, but none of them have a swing arm. Our most popular Class I compatible cargo carrier is the Curt # C18145. This carrier measures 20x48 (outside dimensions). It is a rust-resistant, basket-style cargo carrier with side rails that help keep cargo in place and provides limitless tie-down options. This carrier includes an anti-wobble hitch bolt...

  • Availability of a Waterproof Case to Store Equipment on a Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier
  • The waterproof cargo bag I recommend for your cargo carrier is the 20 cubic feet cargo bag # 988501. It will include 6 tie-down straps to secure it to your cargo carrier, but I recommend a lock such as the Master Lock padlock # 141T to lock the cargo bag by the zippers. Simply insert the lock through both holes on the zipper to secure. I went to our warehouse to get the cargo bag and locks to ensure they fit too. See picture I included. The center underside of the Tow Ready cargo carrier...

  • Availability of Hitch Cargo Carrier to Fit on a Honda Fit Being Towed Behind a RV
  • There is not a difference between the 2009 to 2013 Honda Fit as far as the size of hitch that will fit and the maximum amount of weight it can carry. The Honda Fit will use a Class I, 1-1/4 inch hitch with a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. For a hitch that fits a 2009 to 2013 Honda Fit I would recommend the Curt Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C11064. I am including a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video of the hitch being installed on a 2012 Honda Fit. I have...

  • Hitch Cargo Carrier Suitable for Class I Hitch on 2018 Toyota Prius
  • Light-duty Class I hitches like # 24966 are the type available for the 2018 Prius but in this 1-1/4-inch receiver size there are no swing away cargo carriers made. Such carriers are made for larger stronger 2-inch hitches, such as the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches # Y62VR It is not possible to use a hitch adapter to install such a carrier in a Class I hitch due to weight restrictions. There are not any folding carriers made for a Class I hitch either. Fixed-type...

  • How to Use Hitch Cargo Carrier and Tow Trailer
  • There are ways to use a cargo carrier and tow a trailer at the same time. Curt Dual 2-Inch Receiver Tube Adapter # D-192 fits a 2-inch hitch and provides two 2-inch receivers, the bottom one for towing and the top one for use with a bike rack or cargo carrier. Note that all such adapters do reduce your hitch capacity by 50-percent, and that reduced capacity has to be enough for the weight of your carrier, its contents and the tongue weight (TW) of the trailer.

  • The Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # 63153 that you referenced and is 24" wide x 60" long is as big as the cargo carriers in that particular style are that we have. There are a couple options that are bigger available in other styles. The GearSpace 34 Enclosed Cargo Carrier # HGK819 is an enclosed cargo carrier that is 33" wide x 68" long.

  • Transporting 4-Bike Hitch Rack and Hitch Cargo Carrier on 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • It sounds like you have a Yakima 2-inch hitch-mount 4-bike rack like their DoubleDown 4 that you want to use along with a 2-inch hitch cargo carrier. You can use both a cargo carrier like Curt # C18110 and your Yakima bike rack at the same time by installing a front-mounted hitch receiver such as Draw-Tite # 65069.
