Its heavy-duty tubular steel construction with a carbide black powder coat finish ensures durability and rust resistance. Designed for convenience, the folding and angled shank provides easy storage and increased ground clearance, making it the ultimate hitch-mounted cargo solution for maximizing vehicle space on any trip. ## 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. Review: Held up great! Drove 8 hrs each way with no issues. - We needed to add space bc we were traveling with 7 people. We probably ended up having around 250 lbs on this with the luggage we were carrying. We drove 8 hrs each way and it held up great. It did not come with an anti-rattle plate so we did end up having to purchase that separately. We didn’t necessarily read this one rattled but from other products, we wanted to get ahead of it. We really liked how the carrier flipped up when it wasn’t in use. We debated between this and one with higher sides but I’m glad we went with this bc it fit our needs best. We didn’t want to deal with sides not holding up or having to lift too high. We like how it gave enough height to keep your items secured and provided good spots to attach ratchet straps to. Our particular ratchet straps had a clip hook that the bar was too thick to close over but it did hook onto it fine and stayed in place when tightened up. We debated between this and one that came with everything you needed vs having to piece it all together. We went with this product bc of the more consistent positive reviews. It’s pretty solid (and heavy) and I’m sure it’s possible to put it in the hitch alone but I don’t think it’d be very easy. We had to kind of wiggle it to get it to slide forward. With our bag we were able to still provide good visualization of our lights behind us and the license plate. If our bag was full it probably would block that. Naturally it caused our parking alerts to go off when we went in reverse so that was annoying and did make me nervous when backing up bc it blocked our view (but I’m sure is always the case anytime you’re towing something so not a Product issue, but just something to be aware of). I also like how it was far enough from our tailgate that we were able to open it with items on it. All in all, we are very happy we went with this. The reviews seem to show that it holds up well over time which was important as well. We’d definitely go with this one again. Review: It works as advertised - 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! ## Features - 6" tall sides keep items more secure during travel - Frees up space inside the vehicle for passengers and cargo - Constructed from heavy-duty, tubular steel - Folding shank allows carrier to be tilted up when not in use - Angled shank elevates carrier for more ground clearance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00JF5LRN0 | | Automotive Fit Type | Universal Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #25,601 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #8 in Vehicle Cargo Baskets | | Brand | CURT | | Brand Name | CURT | | Color | Black | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car, Trailer | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,857 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00612314181537 | | Included Components | Basket Cargo Carrier | | Item Dimensions | 60 x 24 x 6 inches | | Item Highlight | Fits 2" Receivers, 6" Tall Sides, Tubular Frame, Mesh Base, Angled Shank, Reflectors, Carbide Black Powder Coat | | Item Type Name | Trailer Hitch Cargo Carrier, 500 lbs.

The listing says 33.5x28x10.5 yet 60x24 was the answer on another posting.** A: The answer saying that the inside dimensions are only 58x19.25 inches is completely inaccurate for this product. The inside dimensions are definitely 60x24 inches - I JUST measured it. Now the corners are rounded so you'll have some unusable space if you are placing squared off items in it, but that makes sense and I imagine one would not be able to play "tetras" perfectly while packing this thing no matter the case. **Q: How much weight is it rated to carry?** A: 500 lbs is just not accurate. I only had 210 lbs and the weight was evenly distributed. The Shank between the receiver and the pivot joint twisted like a piece of rope! This was only the second time that I had used the basket and it was only 4 months old. WHEN I CALLED CURT ABOUT THE PROBLEM THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE PART UNDER WARRANTY AND STATED THAT I MUST HAVE HAD ALL OF THE WEIGHT ON ONE SIDE! THUS IT WAS NOT USED PROPERLY AND THEY WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. WARNNING : THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT FOR CURT RATES A NEGATIVE 10 IF SUCH A RATEING WAS POSSIBLE. **Q: Is the measurement 60x24 the inside or outside measurements** A: The usable INSIDE dimensions of the basket are 58" x 19 1/4" x 5 1/2". All other dimensions are outside, including brackets, etc. The shipping weight is 59 pounds. **Q: Does this come with the cargo bag?** A: No, it does not come with a cargo bag. I purchased the Apex RBG-04 Extra Large Water Proof bag separate on Amazon. It was about $66 It fit the Curt basket like a glove. Held luggage for 3 couples for a trip to the cruise ship terminal. We caught heavy rain on the way home, and nothing had a drop of water inside the cargo bag. I would give both products a Five Star!!!! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Held up great!

I would buy it again if I didn't already have it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good quality *by P***B on May 19, 2017* This worked out to be the best purchase I could have made for our travels. It is important as you read this that you keep in mind that I bought the CURT 18153 Basket-Style Cargo Carrier that is 60" x 24" x 6" with the Angled and folding shank. I used this size basket on my 2017 Chevy Tahoe. The Angled shaft raises the basket a few inches which makes it easier to work with and load as well as clearance for steep drives. Also the folding shank allows you to fold the basket up and leave it on your vehicle after you have unloaded your bags or cargo at your destination. (see photos) I am very pleased with my purchase. The quality is excellent and very heavy duty. The welds might not be perfect if your talking about a piece of furniture in your house, but they are good quality commercial welds and you should not encounter any problems, The shipping box when it was delivered had some damage however the contents / cargo carrier and components were packed well and were not damaged. The box weight is about 70 pounds so you might need some help to move it. I did recommend to Amazon that they add to the box precut handle openings. I assembled the product in my home on the floor. Very simple and easy to assemble. You have the two halves of the basket, the 2 inch square center support and the angled / folding shank. You will also need a few tools. I recommend a socket set or box wrenches along with an adjustable wrench or "Channel Locks." There is one bolt head that is very large that my set did not have and I wanted to have one to fit so I went out and bought one. Once you have all the right tools and parts laid out it took about 30 minutes to assemble . . very simple. One person can do it, but when aligning the side rails to slide together it was nice to have someone there to help. You will need to purchase one hitch pin to keep the shank in your towing hitch on your vehicle. I purchased a locking hitch pin for security. In reading reviews some people also recommended an anti rattle stabilizer so I did also order the "StowAway" Hitch Tightener, Anti-Rattle Stabilizer for 2 Inch and 1.25 Inch Hitches Sold by: PacRec Products here on Amazon. It made a major difference in the up and down movement and lateral stabilization of the basket. I also purchased 2 plastic self adhesive reflectors and some reflective tape to help with the visibility. The cargo basket when down extends the overall length of the vehicle by about 42". We used this cargo basket on our trip to Colorado and we drove a total of 2,800 miles with no problem. With this size basket you can configure suitcases a few different ways. We had 4 full size suitcases on their side, but you could also stack side by side 6 full size suitcases. If you normally have a lot of smaller odd sized things you might consider buying some used suitcases at garage sales or flea markets and put the small and odd sized things in a suitcase for easier packing and tarping on the cargo rack. We used a 8' x 10' tarp with bungee cords and ratchet tie downs. Keep in mind the max weight is 500lbs, however we were at about 200 lbs for this trip. I recommend when you return as we always do, thoroughly clean and dry the cargo basket. Check for road chips and remove any rust that you might notice and use a couple of coats of black gloss Rustoleum Paint to touch up. I had no problem with my license plates , but I have seen where some people have "zip tied" their license plates to the cargo basket so they are seen. Drive safe and just keep in mind that your vehicle is 42 inches longer . .especially when backing up, parking and changing lanes. ## Frequently Bought Together - CURT 18153 60 x 24-Inch Basket Hitch Cargo Carrier, 500 lbs Capacity, Black Steel, 2-In Folding Shank - StowAway Hitch Tightener, Anti-Rattle Stabilizer for 2 Inch and 1.25 Inch Hitches.
