Expert Answers about Chevrolet Hitch Cargo Carrier

• Installation of Pro Series Hitch Cargo Carrier # PS1040100 on 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• Since the capacity of the Pro Series Hitch Cargo Carrier, part # PS1040100, is derived from the design and correct assembly of the cargo carrier, I cannot recommend to modify the assembly or installation in any way. When a part is modified it can reduce the integrity and safety of the cargo carrier, along with the weight capacity. The shank on the cargo carrier measures 12 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the raised side of the platform and raises 4 inches for clearance...

• Can Hitch Mounted Bike Racks be Added to Hitch Mounted Cargo Carriers to Carry Bikes and Cargo Items
• We do have some options that will allow you to carry cargo and bikes on your 2012 Toyota Highlander, however, bike racks should not be mounted to a hitch mounted cargo carrier. The opening that you see on this cargo carrier is simply a hollow tube, not a receiver. Adding a bike rack to a hitch mounted cargo carrier would place too much weight too far back from the trailer hitch. This will create additional stress that the trailer hitch and your vehicle frame cannot support. It is similar...

• Using a Dual Hitch Adapter to Carry a Bike Rack and a Cargo Carrier
• Due to the lower tongue weight capacities of trailer hitches that have 1-1/4 inch receivers, there are no dual hitch adapters available for a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receivers. The adapters are only available for 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. If you have a 2 inch trailer hitch and a bike rack or cargo carrier with a 1-1/4 inch shank, you could use a hitch reducer like part # HT02 to allow you to use your hitch mounted accessory with the dual hitch adapter. Please note, the dual hitch...

• Will the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151 Scrape when Backing Out of My Steep Driveway?
• One of the large factors that determines if you be able to back out of a steep driveway without scraping with the 20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151 is the setup of your hitch, the rise or drop of the carrier's shank, and the angle of your driveway. If you are using a compatible hitch receiver like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98840, you should have no issue because the ground clearance measurement from the ground to the top of the receiver opening is 14 inches. However, we potentially...

• Cargo Carrier and Hitch Bike Rack Solution
• We have a solution that matches what you are looking for, but the Curt cargo carrier part # C18151 that you referenced does not have a hitch opening at the front of it for a bike rack to attach to. Instead you'd want the Hollywood Racks Cargo Carrier Bike Rack # HR1400Z-85 which comes with both a carrier and a bike rack. This can be used in three configurations. Bike rack only, cargo carrier only, and bike and cargo carrier.

• Reflectors for Curt Aluminum Cargo Carrier
• Although the 19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Aluminum # C18100 does not have mounting holes specifically for adding reflectors, there is a simple way to add them to this carrier. I recommend using 7" Long White/ 11" Long Red Conspicuity Reflective Tape # RE418T or Optronics Trailer Reflector # RE10RB, which will easily stick on the carrier's sides. Keep in mind you will also need the Pin and Clip # PC3 or Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232 to secure this carrier...

• Can I Use 2 of the 24 Extensions # e99052 for a Complete Cargo Carrier?
• I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, the 24" Extension for etrailer Bumper Mounted RV Cargo Carriers # e99052 are only compatible with the etrailer RV Cargo Carriers # e99049 and # e99050. However, for a great alternative option, I recommend the 24x64 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper - Steel - Folding # e83YR. The # e83YR has a 500-pound weight capacity when mounted on your RV's bumper. As far as installation, the # e83YR involves a simple, bolt-on installation with no drilling...

• Can a High-Low Trailer Hitch Adapter # RM-048-8 be Used To Raise up a Cargo Carrier
• The Roadmaster High-Low Hitch Adapter, # RM-048-8, is only designed for tow bar applications. I do have another, more cost effective solution. You could use the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount, # D210. Though it is designed to tow while carrying a cargo carrier or bike rack, you can use it to just carry a cargo carrier. The rise on the receiver is not as high as the High-Low adapter, but the receiver portion has a 350 lb tongue weight.

• Can Curt Aluminum Cargo Carrier be Used at Highway Speeds
• Yes, you can absolutely travel on the highway at highway speeds using the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18113. This is a great option for a cargo carrier because it is aluminum so it is extremely lightweight at just 25 lbs, making it much easier than other carriers to handle. It does come with a hitch pin, but you can add a lock to it and secure it to your Murano with the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # 63232. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check...

• Can a Cargo Carrier Rated for 500 lbs. Carry a 300 lb. Safe
• When using a cargo carrier like the 19x59 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18109 which has a 500 lb. capacity you will most likely be fine to carry a 300 lb. safe, but it will come down to how wide the base of the safe is. From a shear weight standpoint, it would be ok. The problem comes from the concentration of the weight. When a cargo carrier is rated for 500 lbs. that is with the weight evenly dispersed across the carrier. If your safe has a wider base then you would be fine, however if your...

• Tilting and Folding Enclosed Cargo Carrier
• All of the carriers like the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches - 10 cu ft - 100 lbs # Y62VR that will swing away from your vehicle require a 2" hitch. The only hitches available for your Chrysler 200 are 1-1/4" receivers. You could use a standard cargo carrier like the # C18110 on your 1-1/4" hitch to carry golf clubs or other cargo.

• How to Gain Ground Clearance For a Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier on a 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
• To resolve your ground clearance issue with your cargo carrier, I would recommend getting a cargo carrier with a rise in the shank like the Curt Cargo Carrier, # C18110. I am not aware of a trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver that will fit on your 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander. One thing to keep in mind when using a hitch adapter to convert a 2 inch shank to a 1-1/4 inch receiver is that the tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch will be reduced by 50 percent. Like you stated, I am...

• Can a Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Be Used At the Same time as a 5th Wheel?
• As long as you have room yses you can absolutely use a hitch mounted cargo carrier like the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # e98874 with your 5th wheel connected. These generally sit pretty low so I don't think you'd run into any clearance issues front to back, but since this is pretty wide at 60" you may run into lateral clearance issues. Worse case scenario, you can put this cargo carrier on the back of your 5th wheel and you'd be good to go.

• Can Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151 be Used in Front Hitch
• Cargo carriers like the Curt 24x59 # C18151 that you referenced can be used in front hitches or rear hitches. There aren't carriers that are specific for use in a rear hitch or a front hitch. A folding carrier like this one would probably be ideal as it could be folded up when not in use to help with clearance. The mesh floor would also help too as it would allow air to pass through it and make it to the radiator. I attached a review video for this carrier for you to check out as well.

• What is a Safe Minimum Height for a Cargo Carrier?
• A hitch mounted cargo carrier doesn't have a specified height requirement. You are correct that the longer the carrier extends the less ground clearance it will have on an inclined angle like a driveway. Some carriers have a rise integrated into the shank for that very reason like # E98874. This carrier has a 2 inch rise to change the angle. If you will be towing on level ground, a minimum height of 8 inches is enough for the suspension travel, but I personally would shoot for 12 inches...

• Direction of the Swing of the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier
• Unfortunately, the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches - 10 cu ft - 100 lbs # Y62VR carrier only assembles to swing away to the right of the vehicle, not the left of the vehicle. This is because its design is made to swing away from traffic if you are pulled over on the side of the road. I have a possible solution for you. The Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender part # PVD20B is intended to be used with Kuat bike racks but it can be used with bike racks, cargo...
