No, you do not need the Curt Dual Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches, # D-192 to use the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier # HR1450Z-85. This bike rack rack can carry two bikes up to 50 lbs. each and 100 lbs. in the cargo basket at the same time. If you configure to use only the cargo basket without the bike rack, the cargo capacity increases to a weight of 220 lbs. The cargo basket measures 52-1/2" long x 15-9/16" wide x 6" deep. Please compare these measurements to the dimensions of your specific cooler.

Please review the attached video for instructions to tighten this to your hitch to minimize sway and rattle. This also, at the end of the video, shows a road test.

The total weight of this combined bike rack and cargo carrier is approximately 99 lbs. with about 45 lbs. of that weight being the cargo carrier. You can install/remove this in sections instead of needing to move this all as one piece.
