I've been using this Cargo Carrier on my 4 Runner Venture for about a year now. I Purchased this item to haul extra gear to Nags Head from Northwestern Virginia. Installation was a breeze and it's very, very sturdy. I had two Yeti coolers packed with ice and drinks and there was no wobbling at all. I'm a 197 pounds and I was standing on it after I installed it just to check for durability and this thing is a beast. I also used this as a rod holder while on the beach and I caught a 6 foot black tip shark. Overall, I'm very pleased with this item and I would recommend to a friend.

This is a substantial, well-made product at exactly the size I needed - smaller than many, and with sides that keep items secure. It was very easy to assemble, with all parts included and clearly sorted, and with all pieces manufactured to cleanly align. The item arrived promptly, packed to protect the shipment but without waste. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a high-quality cargo carrier.

This cargo carrier worked great. Used it to move a rototiller, 2 hour trip. No damage or deformation to the carrier despite the tiller being near the top of the weight limit. The hitch bolt held the carrier firmly in place. It doesn't come with the lights, I installed light kit Item # 52014. Just had to drill four small holes (I knew this light kit wasn't specifically designed for this carrier, just wanted something cheap). Works great on a Town Car, lots of ground clearance. I'm very happy with this product.

This cargo carrier is sturdy and works well on a Mazdaspeed 3. The rise and slight angle make it so clearance is not an issue. The carrier is very easy to put together. I did install the 8 bolts through the connecting plates in reverse of the instructions so cargo would not be scratched or torn. It adds so much cargo space for our growing family. The only drawbacks are a lack of license plate frame and reflectors which are easily added with very little cost. I used a Cruiser license mount plate with zip ties and Reese DOT approved reflectors. I don't plan to use the carrier at night but there are many license plate lights that can be added as well. I also purchased the Rola carrier bag for hauling luggage and other indoor items.

This is great cargo basket: solid and secure, easy assembly, well designed. The angled neck keeps the basket well away from the ground; I haven’t had any problems with it bottoming out. My first use was actually on a trip back from Florida following Powered Paragliding training. I was intending to bring back just a Paramotor (which would have stood vertically inside the basket), but ended up bringing back a whole Trike assembly! Mounted it on the basket as shown, and it rode just fine back through four states. Got a lot of looks on the way home! I concur with an earlier reviewer that a neat trick is to use a stabilizer strap from the hitch to the corner of the basket. There is plenty of slop in the receiver when the neck is inserted, and a short ratcheting tie down cancels the rattle effectively. I’m very pleased with this purchase; and while I don’t plan to haul around anything as big as that trike, I look forward to many more years of use from it!

First look - not yet loaded up. Ordered this because the less expensive Curt (C18110) was out of stock. It seems like a worthwhile upgrade anyway, with rounded corners and better tie-down options. Finish seems high quality. Significant play exists in the hitch receiver (Curt C11276 - gap visible in photo) to the point that I ordered a hitch immobilizer and don't plan to test the carrier with a full load until that's installed.

The rack is much bigger than my previous one. I was disappointed that it was made in China instead of the USA. It assembled very easily and the light kit works very well. The only draw back is I can no longer open my tailgate with the rack installed due to the spare tire hitting the raised rack.

Purchased in March 2023. I really like the size, it holds a lot. The carrier is very sturdy, well made and assembled very easily. I purchased the light kit but found wiring could have been a little longer to dress the cables neatly down toward the hitch.

We just installed our carrier. We love that this is going to free up a lot of space for our vacation traveling. Very heavy duty and bigger than i was thinking it would be.The pin that holds the carrier in the hitch was not included. It would have been an added bonus if it was.

Surco Products Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2017 Kia Soul
Today on our 2017 Kia Soul we're going to be test fitting the 20 by 48 Surco cargo carrier for 1-1/4" hitches, part number 52017. Now this has a 300 pound carrying capacity. It also has this mesh floor here in the bottom which makes it easy to clean. We have this railing all the way around the cargo carrier, which can be used for your tie down straps or your bungee cords. I'm going to go ahead and give you a couple quick measurements now. Measuring from the edge of the bumper to our outer point here, we've added about 23-1/2" to the rear of the vehicle. The ground clearance is going to be about 10".
Surco Products Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2016 Kia Soul
Today on this 2016 Kia Soul, we're going to be test fitting the 20 x 48 Surco Cargo Carrier, part number 52017. This has a carrying capacity of 300 pounds and has a nice mesh floor, which makes it easy to clean. It also has this rail all the way around the cargo carrier, and you can use that as a tie-down point for either your ratchet straps or your bungee cords. I'm going to go ahead and give you some measurements now. Staring from the edge of the bumper to our outer edge here, we've added about 23-1/2 inches to the rear of the vehicle. The ground clearance to this edge here is going to be about 9-1/2 inches, and our closest point to this edge here is going to be about 2 inches. Then, from the center of the hitch pinhole to our edge here is going to be about 6 inches, so if you have different hitches for this vehicle, from the center of the hitch pinhole out, that's how far it's going to stick out. Also, the exhaust on this vehicle is going to be on the passenger side, but it does face down and is about 11-1/2 inches to our cargo carrier itself, so just keep it in mind maybe put some more of your heat-sensitive materials over to the driver side. Now, with it in this position, we do have full access to our rear hatch to get whatever we need. However, I'm going to go ahead and give you a break-over point measurement, and that's going to be the point where whatever it is you're hauling will come into contact with your rear hatch.
Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2016 Kia Soul
Today on this 2016 Kia Soul we're going to be test fitting the 20 by 48 CURT cargo carrier, part number C18110. Now this cargo carrier has a weight capacity or carrying capacity of 300 pounds. It has a nice mesh floor here on the bottom, and that's going to make it easier to clean. All the way around the border of the cargo carrier are these points which you can use as tie-downs for either your ratchet straps or your bungee cords. I'm going to go ahead and give you some measurements now. Starting from the edge of the bumper out to our outer edge here, we've added about 25" to the rear of the vehicle. Our ground clearance is going to be about 13".
Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2011 Kia Soul
Today, on our 2011 Kia Soul, we will be test fitting part number C18145. This is the Curt 20x48 cargo carrier for 1-1/4 and 2 inch hitches. To begin our test fit, we wills simply remove the included adapter from our cargo carrier shank. We can then slide the cargo carrier shank into the hitch, line up the hitch pin hole and install the anti-rattle bolt. With our bolt tight, our cargo carrier is secured to the vehicle. We will now go ahead and give you a few measurements.
Kia Soul Cargo Carriers Questions
- The Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18110 weighs 30 lbs and by "fixed" carrier it means that the shank of this does not have a folding mechanism. So it does not have the ability to fold up against the rear of the vehicle if not in use.
view full answer... - There is a way for you to use a folding cargo carrier on your 2018 Kia Soul that has a trailer hitch with a Class I 1-1/4 inch hitch installed, which will be either the the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 24915 or Curt Trailer Hitch # C11419, as both will fit your '18 Soul.
Along with these trailer hitches you will have to use the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD, which is the only adapter that can be used in a Class I hitch. It should also be noted that the...
view full answer... - Since your 2016 Kia Soul only has Class I trailer hitch receivers available for it you will need to go with a Class I cargo carrier. The only Class I cargo carrier that we currently carry with a rise is the 20x48 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110 this carrier is rated for 300 lbs and has a shank rise of 3-3/4 inches. Please note that you will want to check the Tongue Weight capacity of your currently installed hitch as well as the Tongue Weight capacity of your Soul as well. Your weight...
view full answer... - You would not need to install a light kit on the Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18145 that you are installing in the hitch of your 2015 Kia Soul.
view full answer... - The closest carrier we have to those dimensions is the 20" x 47" Reese Cargo Carrier item # 63155. Another issue you're going to encounter is that a 2015 Kia Soul only has a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. That weight has to include the carrier which in this case weighs 44 lbs. The 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier item # C18110, you were looking at, comes in a little lighter at 33 lbs.
view full answer... - Yes, the hatch of your 2014 Kia Soul will definitely still be able to open with the Reese Solo Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches item # PS1040100 installed; the hatch is up quite a bit higher than where the cargo carrier will be when it is installed in a hitch so there will be no interference whatsoever.
This cargo carrier will only work on a 2" trailer hitch receiver, and the only one of those that fits your 2014 Kia Soul is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 306-X7326....
view full answer... - Yes, you can use the Curt trailer hitch mount cargo carrier, # C18145, on any 1-1/4 inch or 2 inch trailer hitch including a Draw-Tite brand hitch.
To make sure the carrier clears the back of your vehicle you will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole straight back to the distance required to clear the rear bumper. If that distance is less than 6 inches then it will clear the vehicle. I have linked a video review of the carrier for you.
view full answer... - Yes, in order to secure the Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18110 to the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24915 that you have installed on your 2014 Kia Soul, you are going to want to use the Trailer Hitch Anti-Rattle Kit part # F-315. This kit comes with the correct threaded hitch pin you need in addition to a block plate that will help with rattle. You do not have to use the block plate but this is the only option we have for you at this time.

view full answer... - We can offer several different options for cargo transport on your daughter's 2013 Kia Soul. The best option will depend on how the vehicle is equipped. For instance does it have a hitch or a roof rack already installed?
The cargo carrier you referenced, part # M2205 from CarPod, is a hitch-mount type carrier that will fit only a 2-inch hitch. The Soul cannot be equipped with a 2-inch hitch, only with a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch such as one of those shown on the link...
view full answer... - The best way to tell how much clearance you will have for access to your rear cargo area is to take a couple measurements.
I have attached a photo of the Curt Cargo Carrier, part # C18145 installed on the back of a vehicle. As the photo shows, the distance from the center of the hitch pin to the closest edge of the carrier is 6 inches. Since the height of the outside walls of the carrier are 6 inches, you can hold a straight edge vertically about 6 inches back from the hitch...
view full answer... - In order to determine if this Curt 20x48 Cargo Carrier, part # C18145, will work on your Kia Soul with the Curt Hitch, part # 11110, you will have to take one measurement.
You will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin on the # 11110 to the furthest point out on your bumper. If this measurement is less than 6 inches you should be able to use the # C18145 as it measures 6 inches from the center of its hitch pin to the basket of the cargo carrier.
