Description

Even with the roomiest of vehicles, packing the car for a long trip can quickly turn into a frustrating game of Tetris. CURT cargo carriers are a simple yet effective solution for maximizing the storage area of your vehicle. The advantage of a hitch-mounted cargo carrier is that it can be mounted on the rear or front end of the vehicle as long as the vehicle is properly equipped with the right receiver hitch. Mounting a cargo carrier in the front opens up the rear receiver hitch for towing a trailer or adding a second carrier or bike rack if needed. The hitch-mounted design also makes installation quick and easy. CURT basket cargo carriers feature a strong bolt- together design and are made with heavy-duty carbide steel and a tubular construction for increased strength. One of the advantages of the basket style is its 6" high sides. These provide extra security and peace of mind during travel. This particular basket cargo carrier features a 2" x 2" bent, folding shank to provide more ground clearance and to fold up and out of the way whenever necessary. It also comes with a strong mesh platform to accept up 500 lbs. of cargo and has a durable black powder coat finish to resist rust, scratches and UV damage. Whether you prefer the hitch-mounted carrier or the roof rack option, CURT has cargo management solutions to meet your needs.

We were taking a 2000 mile trip on vacation with our dog-son and want to make sure our dog-son had enough room in the back of our 2015 Toyota Highlander. Did extensive research on hitch cargo carriers and finally decided this Curt model was best for us. Received the item quickly direct from Curt and amazingly the box was in perfect shape. Took the parts out and assembly by my wife and I took about 30 minutes. We followed the assembly video on an iPad and assembly went smooth. All bolt holes matched up and had no problem getting anything to fit. When assembled we slid it into the receiver on the car and put the pin in. Everything fit well. I also bought the stabilizer for the hitch so it didn't giggle and a locking pin so when staying at the motel nobody could steal the cargo carrier unless they had a portable grinding tool. I didn't know if I wanted to buy the fixed carrier or the one that swings up when not in use. I opted for the one that swings up when not in use. This turned out to be the best choice for us. At the motel we unloaded suitcases for the room and put the rest in the rear of the car. By swinging the carrier up, it was out of the way from passing cars in the lot and people walking, a safety plus I felt. And, when the unit is down and in place, we had no problem opening the back hatch door. There is more than enough room to open the back hatch door and gain access to the rear of the vehicle to load and unload(picture shows the distance). When loaded I estimated we had about 250 pounds of load on the carrier and no sag to the unit. With the small amount of rise the tongue gives on this unit, the loaded carrier at the rearmost was 1 foot from the ground. I wanted a carrier with a rise in the tongue as the receiver on the Highlander is somewhat low on the vehicle. During the trip we observed no rattling or movement of the carrier. We tried to be careful when pulling into and out of angled driveways like in gas stations or motel. We had a couple of minor scrapes on a couple driveways , but there was no damage at all to the carrier. We also bought some quality Strapinno 3' and 6' retractable ratchet straps. The straps are pricy, but the best I have ever used. I found the ratcket straps to work far superior than bungee cords and was sure our suitcases wouldn't be lost in transit. All and all, this carrier was exactly what my anal self researched for and found. I would buy it again if I didn't already have it! ... show more

    • Stop searching, and buy this one!
The is the Cargo Carrier that you want! Buy this one. Do not even look at any others. I looked and looked at all the various carriers Amazon offered. I realized quickly how important having one that folds up is. You must get a folding carrier, especially if you are buying this to use on a vacation and plan on driving around after unpacking your things from the carrier. We just took ours to the beach. Parking is so tight at the hotels and restaurants at the beach we go too, there is no way that I would have felt comfortable having this carrier in the down position in any parking lot. But once it is folded up, it doesn't stick out that far beyond the parking spots. Second, I came across a few carriers that had "bent shanks." I didn't really think about this being an important factor before, but now after using mine, I see what difference it makes. The bent shank gives you more ground clearance underneath the basket. There were a few times of pulling in and out of places, that I guarantee if my carrier didn't have a bent shank, it would have bottomed out. Spend the little extra to get a carrier with a bent shank. I also recommend you go for a larger carrier like this. I almost bought a different one that was had smaller dimensions because I was worried about buying one that was too big, and I'm so glad I did not. This carrier fits great on my SUV. It is a few inches shy of the width of my truck. It did not obstruct my view on either side of the vehicle. We did purchase also purchase a cargo net... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CAVUL0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 .... and I'm pleased that we did. My husband initially was just going to ratchet strap everything down, but we got this net and decided to do a combination of ratchet strap and then we put a tarp over everything and used this cargo net to secure it all. It was a great set up. Nothing budged at all, even after hitting several big bumps. The overall construction of this Curt Carrier is wonderful. It is super sturdy feeling. While it is not lightweight aluminum, it does weight 70lbs, my husband and I easily picked it up and put it on my Acura MDX. Honestly my husband probably could have put it on himself, but I was trying to be a nice and helpful wife ;) We saw so many other vehicles with obviously cheaper carriers on them. The ones without the bend shanks all seemed to look like they were sagging...even ones that had nothing on them! Ours fully loaded( probably only about 150lbs but still) did not sag at all. We did not add any lights or addition reflectors, bc we knew we were not going to be traveling during the night. I think if we take any long trips with this carrier overnight, that I probably would add lights, just for added safety. We did use a locking tow hitch to secure the carrier. I also purchased a hitch tightener https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001CMUV4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I do recommend getting one of these. The carrier did feel a little wobbly without it. Some people probably wouldn't be bothered by the small amount of play it had, but I felt much better after installing the hitch tightener. It really did help to minimize the amount of play. Overall, fabulous carrier. I highly recommend!!!!! ... show more
