• Recommendation to Secure 18 Gallon Tub in the 20x60 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18150
  The best way to secure your tubs on the 20x60 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18150 would be to use some Ratchet Tie-Down Straps like the CargoBuckle # IMF12636. Ratchet tie-downs are a little more secure that Bungee Cords # 3044DAT or a Cargo Net # SR0035 because those items are stretchable. They would be able to keep the tubs in the carrier, but ratchet straps can be tightened enough that the tubs will not move. To help reduce play in the hitch receiver I also recommend using the Anti-Rattle...

• How Wide of a Cargo Carrier Should I put on My 2008 Honda CR-V
  From the research I did it looks like the width of your 2008 Honda CR-V is 69 inches. If you needed the absolute most capacity as you could get from a cargo carrier I would recommend you use the 20x60 Railed Cargo Carrier, # C18150. However, if you went with this carrier you would have to be extra cautious when backing up and making sharp turns. If you went with the 20x48 Cargo Carrier, part # C18145, you would be gaining an extra 6 inches on either side of the cargo carrier, but you...

• Weight of Curt Cargo Carrier 18150
  The Curt Cargo Carrier # C18150 weighs approximately 50 lbs. 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. I do recommend using Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # 63232 to both lock the carrier and keep it from rattling inside your hitch.

• Will Bike Rack Adapter # CC-125 Work with the Curt 20x60 Cargo Carrier # C18150
  Although the Bike Rack Adapter, # CC-125, is designed to be used with the 23x60 Stromberg Carlson Cargo Carrier, # CC-100, it can be used with the Curt 20x60 Cargo Carrier, # C18150, but you will want to measure the bikes that you plan on carrying to make sure that they will fit. At 5-5/8 inches up from the ground, if your bike measures less than 58 inches in length, this carrier will work for you. You may have to adjust the location of the pedals on the bikes making sure that they are...

• Will the Curt 20x60 Cargo Carrier part # C18150 Clear the Spare Tire on a 2011 Jeep Wrangler
  The Curt Cargo Carrier you mentioned, part # C18150 has a fixed shank that is 11 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the carrier, which will most likely be enough to clear your spare tire. Just to be sure, I would recommend taking some measurements to confirm. Have a helper hold a straight piece of lumber like a 2x4 up flat against the rear of the spare. Then, measure rearward from the hitch pin hole in your receiver until you hit the piece of wood. Then,...

• Cargo Carrier on 2018 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van
  There is a way to figure out if the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18150 will allow the rear doors to open on your 2018 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van. The carrier has a 2-1/2 inch raised shank and measures 6-1/2 inches tall so you will need to measure from the top of the receiver hitch on your van to the bottom of your rear doors; that measurement would need to be more than 9 inches for the doors to clear the height of the carrier.

• Actual Loaded Cargo Weight Capacity When Using Pro Series 63153 on 2009 Subaru Forester
  The actual amount of cargo weight you can load on a hitch-mounted carrier like the Curt # C18150 or the Pro Series # 63153 can be determined by taking the vehicle/hitch tongue weight (TW) rating and from that subtracting the weight of the cargo carrier itself. Let's say your hitch's safety sticker says it has a TW capacity of 350-lbs. From this you will subtract the weight of your chosen carrier, 50-lbs for the Curt and 55-lbs for the Pro Series, leaving you with an available cargo weight...

• Light Weight Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier for a 2013 Buick Enclave
  As far as weight aluminum cargo carriers will be much lighter than steel ones of the same size. I recommend going with an aluminum carrier for this reason and because they are corrosion resistant. We have 2 aluminum cargo carriers and they are both rated for 500 pounds. Curt cargo carrier # C18100 is 19 inches front to back and 60 inches wide. It weighs about 30 pounds. It can also fold up. When in the folded up position it measures 5 inches from the center of the pin hole to the nearest...

• How Close is the 20x60 Curt Cargo Carrier to Rear Bumper of 2016 Mazda CX-3
  The 20x60 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18150 is a great hitch-mounted cargo carrier with raised side rails that offer multiple tie-down points. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole on your trailer hitch to the Curt Carrier is 11 inches. To assure the carrier (and stored luggage) will not interfere with the bumper on your 2016 Mazda CX-3, you will just want to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest edge of your bumper. As long as it is shorter than 11 inches,...

• Recommendation for Cargo Carrier Bag and Bike Rack For Curt 20x60 Railed Cargo Carrier
  I would not recommend to use the Curt 20x60 Railed Cargo Carrier, part # C18150, to transport bikes. There is no way to safely attach the bikes to the cargo carrier. To carry two bikes I would recommend to use a hitch bike rack like the Thule Camber Bike Carrier, part # TH9058. It can carry 2 bikes and has a weight capacity of 75 lbs. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike...

• Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2008 Honda Pilot
  First, the 2008 Honda Pilot with the factory 2 inch trailer hitch or even an aftermarket hitch has the face of the receiver pretty much flush with the rear bumper. That is important because it means that most if not all carriers will clear the rear of the vehicle. The Curt carrier # C18150 would work well. Fixed carriers are sturdy because there are no additional pivot points on them. But when not in use the carrier will just be sitting back there and may cause clearance issues in some...

• 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...

• Will Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18150 Allow 2016 GMC Canyon Tailgate to Open and Clear
  With the Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18150 installed on a similar 2015 Chevy Colorado as yours we found that the tailgate was able to be opened and not hit the cargo carrier. Check out the review video I attached that shows this. Your GMC Canyon would have the exact same setup so it would clear.

• Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier with a Rise in the Shank for a 2012 Toyota Van
  Some cargo carriers do have a rise in the shank such as # 63153. It has a rise of 2-1/2 inches. Curt cargo carrier # C18110 has a rise of 3-3/4 inches and would be a good option for you. You could also use a multi-purpose ball mount, # D210. When using the receiver portion it will raise the accessory nearly 4 inches from the top of the hitch receiver opening to the bottom of the receiver on the ball mount. The receiver capacity on D210 is 350 pounds so you have to stay within its capacity....

  I have added a cut out for you which shows the measurements of the brackets on the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # 13703 as well as how they mount to box frames, C-channel frames, or I-beam frames. This 2 inch receiver will work on trailer frames that have a width between 22 inches and 72 inches wide and has a 3,500 lb capacity with a 350 lb tongue weight capacity, though I recommend contacting the trailer manufacturer to find out exactly what the capacity of your trailer...

• 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.

In addition to the added clearance, it's a bit larger to provide more space for storage. These measurements are taken...

• Will etrailer e98875 Off Road Cargo Carrier Block License Plate on 2020 Ford Escape
  The etrailer brand 20x48 cargo carrier, part # e98875 has an 11 inch rise, so to determine where the basket will sit in regard to the license plate on your Escape, if you measure upwards 11 inches from the inside top edge of your hitch receiver tube, it'll give you an exact location where the underside of the basket will sit. Add about 6 inches to that, and that's where the top of the rail that runs around the basket will sit. If something that doesn't sit up so tall might work better...

  It is possible that you can open your cargo door when using the 32x72 Lets Go Aero GearCage FP6 Slide-Out Cargo Carrier # H01397 with the GearBag 6 Cargo Bag # HCR635. Since there are a variety of different door styles out there though you will need to take some measurements to confirm this.

• 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 etrailer Cargo Carrier Clear Spare Tire When Used on 2019 Keystone Cougar Travel Trailer
  Yes, the etrailer Cargo Carrier # e98874 will absolutely have enough clearance to use and clear the spare tire on your 2019 Keystone Cougar 34TSB Travel Trailer. Based on my research, this trailer has a hitch which is mounted and protrudes from its bumper; additionally, the trailer uses ST225/75R15 tires, so your spare will be just under 9 inches wide, which the carrier will easily clear. The SportRack Cargo Carrier measures 19-1/2 inches from the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of...

• 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.

• Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Ford Escape
  The concealed cross tube hitches for your 2014 Ford Escape have a slightly long install time than the visible cross tube hitches. Either hitch design wouldn't be that hard to install though so if it were my vehicle I would go with the concealed crosstube hitches like the part # 75782 over the visible ones like part # 75758. For a hitch cargo carrier the part # C18150 would work very well.
