Today in 2012 Ford Focus, we're going to be taking a look at the 20 by 48 curt cargo carrier for an inch and a quarter and two inch hitches, part number C18110. This has a carrying capacity of 300 pounds but also has a mesh floor on the bottom which makes it easy to clean and it has these points all the way around the border of the cargo carrier and those serve as tie down points for either your racket straps or your bungee cords. I'm going to go ahead and give you some measurements now. To our average here, we've added about 26 and a half inches to the rear of the vehicle. Our ground clearance from the bottom of this bolt is going to be about 13 inches. Now our closest point, this edge here is going to be about six and a half inches. Now the exhaust on this vehicle is going to be on the passenger side but it faces down and since this has a bend on the shank to kind of prop it up, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, plus it's about 14 inches from the cargo carrier itself. Really you wouldn't worry too much about putting any heat sensitive material into your cargo carrier. more
