Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2009 Honda Fit
Question:
Hi, I have a 2009 Honda Fit and I have been looking at Trailer Hitch - C11064 and Cargo Carrier - C18145 . Is this correct? Do I need anything else? I plan on carrying about 100 lbs. Would straps help stabilize the load at highway speed? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Expert Reply:
For your 2009 Honda Fit I would recommend the EcoHitch Hitch part # 306-X7286 over the Curt as it does not require a stabilizer strap when using a non-supported load like a cargo carrier like the Curt does.
The Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18145 would be a great choice for a cargo carrier as well.
