• Best Way To Carry Cargo on a 2016 Honda Odyssey
  I would love to help but none of the roof bags for a bare roof will work with a sliding rear door. Therefore, the Rightline Gear Sport 3 Rooftop Cargo Bag part # RL100S30 will not fit your 2016 Honda Odyssey unless you first install a roof rack like the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System which consists of part # RRVA126B-2, part # RRQMVA10, part # RRRTV168, and part # RRRLT600. The next best option which is also more cost effective would be to install a trailer hitch like the etrailer.com...

• Cargo Carrier Recommendation for Jeep Wrangler
  The Curt Cargo Carrier # C18113 is going to provide 6-1/2" of clearance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the front of the basket. A better choice, that will provide approximately 11" of clearance from the center of the hitch pin to the front of the basket is the Curt # C18150 and 10" from the rear bumper to the front edge of the basket (with a factory hitch). In addition to the added clearance, it's a bit larger to provide more space for storage. These measurements are taken using...

  the biggest difference between the 20 x 59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # C18150 and the 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # C18152 is the size of the carrier.

• Hitch Mounted Carrier To Carry 20-Lb Propane Tank
  We do have carriers like part # C18150 for a trailer hitch but they are designed to be used for cargo. You would need to make sure you secure the propane tank really well so it does not fall or have a chance of falling out of the carrier. Also, you may want to check with the authorities to see if it is legally permissible to carry propane in a hitch mounted carrier. It would be bad if the rear of your vehicle were involved in an accident.

• Hauling a Front Mounted Generator Options
  In order to haul a generator on the front of your vehicle, I suggest using a front mount trailer hitch such as the # 13703. This is an adjustable type hitch that fits frames from 22" to 72" in width. It is not a custom fit but will require a little bit of fabrication and some welding. Curt states that all non-trailered loads need to be secured with Stabilizing Support Strap # 18050. After installation of adjustable hitch, you can use a cargo basket carrier such as the Curt Cargo Carrier...

• Recommended Hitch With Best Ground Clearance For A 2022 Audi Q7
  The hitch I recommend for your 2022 Audi Q7 is the Curt # C13277. This American made hitch will be a pretty involved install, but once finished will have a clean, stock look as only the receiver tube will be able to be seen. So no ugly cross tube. This will also be great for carrying a cargo carrier, like the Curt # C18150, as it is rated up to 7,000 pounds towing and 700 pounds of tongue weight capacity (which is the one you will need to keep an eye on for a cargo carrier), but you will...

• Differences Between Curt Cargo Carriers part # C18152 and C18150
  To put it simply...the difference is 4 inches. The platform of the # C18150 measures 20 inches by 60 inches and the part # C18152 measures 24 by 60 inches. Also, the shank of the # C18152 is a bit longer which would be better for you. It has a distance of 11 inches from the center of the hitch pin to the nearest rail whereas the # C18150 has 7-1/2 inches there. I attached a review video that shows the # C18150 being used on a 2015 Wrangler Unlimited just like yours as well.

• Folding Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier, Light Kit and License Plate Bracket Recommendations
  The Pro Series carrier, # 63153, does not have an alternative shank that will allow it to fold. You could use the Curt #C18150 with the folding adapter# 52015 or choose a model that folds like the etrailer carrier # e98874. For a license plate bracket, there is not a specific bracket made for the carriers but you can use # LP15SB. Self-tapping screws (not included) can be used to attach it to the carrier.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2015 Heartland RV Bighorn Silverado Fifth Wheel
  As long as the frame on your 2015 Heartland RV Bighorn Silverado Fifth Wheel is between 18" - 51" wide I recommend the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" # C13701. The # C13701 has a 500lb tongue weight rating and 5000lb trailer weight rating, but your trailer may not. I recommend reaching out to Heartland to find the tongue weight and towing capacity of your Bighorn Silverado and use the lower rating between the hitch and trailer. If your...

• Will Rooftop Bag on 2014 Honda Odyssey With Naked Roof Work With Sliding Doors?
  Tthere would likely be some interference using the Rightline Gear Sport 2 # RL100S20 with sliding doors like on your 2014 Honda Odyssey and it would not be a recommended fit for its naked roof. To haul extra cargo with your Odyssey, I recommend installing Draw-Tite hitch # 75270 and then Cargo Carrier # C18150 as well as Cargo Bag # C18210 and Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock # 63232. The other option is to install a roof rack, though that will be a more expensive and noisier option. If you are...

• Smaller Folding Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Recommendation
  The only Curt cargo carrier the Surco Folding Basket Adapter # 52015 that you referenced is designed to fit is the part # C18150. This carrier has a 2 inch shank design, the part # C18145 has a smaller shank since it is designed to fit 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch hitches so it would not be compatible with this carrier. Your best option would be to go with a folding carrier that is smaller in size like you said you were interested in. For that I would recommend the part # 6502.

• Recommendation For Hitch Cargo Carrier To Clear Spare Tire on 2005 Jeep Liberty
  We have done a hitch installation on a similar model Jeep Liberty (2007) and have measured the clearance needed for a hitch accessory to clear the spare tire.

• Can the Curt 59" Cargo Carrier Be Used with a Class 1 Hitch on a 2023 Mazda 3 Hatchback
  You are not going to want to use the 20 x 59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # C18150 in a Class 1 hitch on your 2023 Mazda 3 hatchback with an adapter. The use of an adapter is going to decrease your hitches tongue weight by 50%. With a class 1 hitch, that is essentially going to make your hitch useless. From what I could find, it looks like most hitches that currently fit your 2023 Mazda 3 hatchback have a 200 lb. tongue weight capacity. If you cut that in half you have 100 lbs. Then...

This carrier fits 2 inch trailer hitches, has a 500 lb weight capacity and has inside dimensions of 57-1/2" long x 19-13/16" wide x 5-5/8" deep.

• Is There a Roof Rack for 2013 Chrysler Town and Country with Stow 'N Place Factory Rack
  I checked for fits for 2013 Town and Country vans but could not find anything in regards to these having raised side rails. What I think you are probably referring to is that you have the Stow 'N Place factory roof rack on your vehicle, where the crossbars are stowed lengthwise when they aren't being used. The Rhino-Rack # RRSX100 will not work with this rack, and there are no fits for traditional racks that can be used with this vehicle if it has the factory rack. If you need an additional...

• Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier # C18150 Fit a 2011 Toyota Sienna
  We have installed a Curt Trailer Hitch, # C13105, on a 2011 Toyota Sienna (see video link) and determined that from the center of the hitch pin hole back to clear the rear bumper it is 5-1/4 inches. The Curt cargo carrier, # C18150, measures 11 inches from the pin hole center to the nearest edge of the carrier so there will be about 6 inches of space between the vehicle and the carrier when installed. Total, the carrier will be about 27-1/2 inches from the back most part of the van....
