• Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2008 Honda Pilot
• First, 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...

• Comparing Stromberg Carlson Trailer Tray Cargo Carriers for A-Frame Trailers
• This is just a case of an updated item. They are basically the same. The Trailer Tray Cargo Carrier # CC-255 replaced the CC-250 which was phased out. Otherwise they are identical. There have been only minor design changes otherwise they function the same and have the same measurements and install the same way. If the current weight distribution system is inadequate for the trailer tongue weight you might consider the Blue Ox Sway Pro system # BXW2000 rated for 2,000 pounds tongue weight....

You will have less drag improving your gas mileage and you won't have to reach up to the roof of your vehicle each time you load or unload. The biggest upsides you will find from the roof cargo carriers is accessing the cargo and of course the cost difference for the amount of cargo you can carry.

• We do have two 24x60 hitch cargo carriers that fit your criteria (folding, class III, 2" hitch receiver) and price range, the Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier # C18151, and the etrailer Hitch Cargo Carrier # e98874.

• What is the Difference Between Cargo Carrier 63154 and Cargo Carrier 63155
• The 20x47 Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4 inch (Class I and II Only) Trailer Hitches # 63155, required a little more assembly than the discontinued # 63154 did. Also, the # 63154 was only compatible with class II hitches, but the # 63155 can be used with class I or class II. The 63155 is the same carrier but it requires assembly, bolting together three parts. You may also need lights for the carrier if your load blocks the vehicle lights.

• Both of the Curt hitch-mount folding cargo carriers # C18151 and (Discontinued) C18153 fit in a 2-inch hitch and offer a 500-lb loaded cargo weight capacity. The primary differences are the carriers' weights and the type of shank on the carriers. Part # C18151 has a shipping weight of 58-lbs while the (Discontinued) C18153 has a 70-lb shipping weight due to slightly beefier construction. It also has an angled shank that provides 2-inches of additional ground clearance, which is a good...

• The 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches, part # C18152, and the 24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches, part # 63153, are extremely similar. In fact, in terms of the specs that you mentioned, neither stands above the other.

For example, the Curt Folding Carrier, part # C18151, has fantastic reviews from our...

• Curt Class III and Class IV Hitch Comparison for 2018 Ford Transit T350 Passenger Van
• You are correct that we offer both Class III and Class IV 2-inch hitches for your 2018 Ford Transit T350 passenger van. If trailer towing were your intended application then the Class IV hitch # C14012 would definitely be my top recommendation since it can tow 2000-lbs more weight than the Class III model # C13193. But since your intended use is with a hitch-mount cargo carrier like # C18151 I recommend instead that you go with their Class III hitch # C13193 since it has a higher tongue...
