• Can I Use A Hitch Extender With The Curt Aluminum Cargo Carrier # C18100 To Carry A 150lb Load?
  Yes, you can use the Curt Aluminum Cargo Carrier # C18100 with your 2020 Chevy Equinox with a hitch extender like the Brophy 7" Hitch Extender # HE06. Since you are only going to be carrying about 100-150lbs it will be fine, but keep in mind that when you use a hitch extender you limit the accessory to about 50% of its original weight capacity. I like using the aluminum carriers for situations like yours because you can just hose the carrier off when you unload the deer and you won't have...

• Tie Down Straps for Curt Cargo Bag # C18210
  Tie-down straps can certainly be added to the Curt Cargo Bag # C18210 that you referenced for even more security but one of the great things about this particular bag is that it actually features 6 integrated straps that are designed to hold it in place inside a cargo basket like the excellent Curt # C18100 that you also mentioned.

• Will Cargo Carrier Blocking Backup Camera Cause Legal Problems
  If your bike rack blocks your rear view camera you'd have to turn around and look behind you plus use the mirrors as you back up. Back up cameras aren't legally required on vehicles at this point so having them blocked wouldn't get you into any legal trouble.

• Recommended Folding and Non-Folding Cargo Carrier Options for 2004 Toyota Highlander
  For a folding carrier, I really like the Curt 24x60 Carrier, part # C18153. The carrier features a long shank, which allows plenty of clearance between the basket and the rear of the vehicle, which allows the basket to fold up before it hits the rear bumper of the vehicle. The # C18100 is a smaller, but much lighter option. If the 19x60 size works for you it would also be a good choice, but it would sit closer to the rear bumper. You'll need to measure the distance from the hitch pin hole...

• Recommended Low Profile Cargo Carrier to Allow Access to Rear Door on 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  For a more low profile cargo carrier the Curt Carrier, part # C18100, 19x60 is a good option because it has a straight shank. The Pro Series Cargo Carrier # 63153 has a 2-1/2 inch rise and therefore will be more likely to block the rear door of your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Another option is the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110. This one also a straight shank giving you clearance to open the rear door. I've attached a video of the Curt on a 2016 Wrangler Unlimited so you can see that...

• Aluminum vs. Steel Cargo Carrier are there Any Disadvantages for Aluminum Construction
  You are correct there is a weight advantage for aluminum, item # C18100, over steel, item # CC-100, but the biggest reason aluminum is considered over steel, for most of our customers, is corrosion resistance and appearance. You do not need to upkeep the carrier with spray paint every couple of years with aluminum like you do steel. As far as disadvantages, there really are none. As long as the weight capacity of the aluminum carrier is rated the same as the steel carrier they will both...

  When folded up the Curt cargo carrier part # C18100 has 4-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest rail of the carrier. If the distance from your hitch pin hole out to the furthest point out on your rear bumper is less than that this carrier will fit and work well.

• Recommended Cargo Carrier and Bike Adapter to Carry Two Bikes on Rear of Travel Trailer
  I don't recommend using a folding carrier on the rear of a travel trailer, and here's why. Due to the stiffer suspension and the long rear overhang (distance between the rear axle and the back bumper) any accessory installed in a hitch at the rear of a travel trailer will be subjected to much more severe bouncing and jarring forces than would be experienced if the accessory were installed in a hitch on a passenger vehicle. The folding portion of the carrier is a likely failure point, which...

• Curt Cargo Carrier with Rise in Shank Recommendation
  For a similar Curt folding cargo carrier to the # C18100 that you referenced that has a rise built into the shank you would want the part # C18153.

• Does Curt Folding Aluminum Cargo Carrier # C18100 Have License Plate Mounting Holes, Does it Rattle
  I spoke with my contact at Curt regarding the Folding, Aluminum Cargo Carrier, # C18100. She stated that there are no holes specifically for mounting a license plate. However, what can be done is to drill the necessary holes if needed. If any of the holes line up, you can use them for a license plate. There will be some rattle or play at the folding bracket. It can be kept to a minimum with all the hardware installed and tightened properly. With any folding carrier, there will always...

• Can a Dirt Bike be Carried on Curt Aluminum Cargo Carrier on a 2012 Cadillac SRX
  Provided that the wheelbase of the dirt bike is less than 60 inches then it would fit on the Curt aluminum cargo carrier # C18100. And like you said the bike has to be within the capacity of the carrier. But also the combined weight of the carrier (29 pounds) and the dirt bike cannot exceed the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch and vehicle (whichever is lower). Depending on which 2 inch hitch you have on your 2012 Cadillac SRX the hitch tongue weight will be either 400 or 500...

• Could Platform of Curt Hitch Rack C18100 be Stolen Easily
  We don't have locks for the bolt and pin you pointed out. Which it is a valid point that you mentioned them, but it would take someone showing up with the right size wrenches to remove the platform if they really wanted it, and then they'd only have a platform for a rack. Most thieves would want the whole thing and not just the platform so it really wouldn't be a huge risk.

• How to Make a Tail Light Kit for the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18100
  I may have a few parts that you can piece together to install tail lights on the Curt Cargo Carrier, # C18100, but Curt does not offer a tail light kit that will fit this carrier. If you are interested in the slim LED lights, you could install two of the Optronics Sealed LED Thin Line Lights, # STL69RCB, on each side of the carrier. You could route the wires through the existing hole and would only have to drill the holes for the mounting screws. Once you have the lights mounted,...

• Heat and Exhaust With a Cargo Carrier on a 2017 Toyota RAV4
  We recommend there be at least 6 inches between the tailpipe and the cargo carrier to avoid heat transfer. In the case of your 2017 Toyota RAV4, the tailpipe is pointed downward, and on most hitch installations, the 19 x 60 Curt Cargo Carrier, part # 18100 will be 6 or more inches away from the vehicle when folded down. For a 2017 Toyota RAV4 equipped with the Draw-Tite Max Frame Class III, part # 75235, the 19 x 60 Cargo Carrier will sit 7-1/4 inches to its closest edge, well away from...

  For an aluminum cargo carrier, I recommend the 19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches, # C18100. It has a 500 lb capacity and yet only weighs 29 lbs, so it is easy to install and remove when not in use. It has pre-drilled holes along the sidewalls to offer tie-down points.

• Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device Recommendation for 2017 Toyota Tacoma
  None of our cargo carriers were intended for off-road use but the Curt cargo carrier part # C18100 does have a 500 lb capacity when used in on-road applications. I attached a test course video for you to check out that shows you how stable it will be on the highway when in use and loaded. For a hitch lock that doubles as an anti-rattle device we have the part # 63232 which would work well. It holds the shank of the carrier tight to the hitch tube which prevents it from moving.

I have attached a short video demonstration that you can also check out. I then recommend adding...

  The Curt Cargo Carrier # C18100 will work on the front of your 2011 Nissan Xterra as long as there is enough clearance coming from your hitch. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the carrier when it's folded up is 4-1/2 inches and when it's folded down is 10-3/4 inches. As long as those numbers are enough to clear the front of the Xterra you'll be fine. You also want to make sure the cargo isn't blocking your headlights or obstructing the air flow into your...

• Reflectors for Curt Aluminum Cargo Carrier
  Although the 19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Aluminum # C18100 does not have mounting holes specifically for adding reflectors, there is a simple way to add them to this carrier. I recommend using 7" Long White/ 11" Long Red Conspicuity Reflective Tape # RE418T or Optronics Trailer Reflector # RE10RB, which will easily stick on the carrier's sides. Keep in mind you will also need the Pin and Clip # PC3 or Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232 to secure this carrier...

Another option would be Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151, which is not only a bit larger,...
