Video of 20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today we're going to be talking a look at the CURT folding cargo carrier. They've designed this for use in 2" hitches. It offers a 500 pound weight capacity. The part number on it is C18151. Now as you can see, one of the great features that we have is the ability to tilt the cargo carrier up against the rear of our vehicle. This is going to give us extra storage options so we don't have it hanging out here. To get it out of the storage position into the loaded position you got a pin and clip located here at the base.
We're going to pull that, bring that carrier on down. We're going to slide the pin back in here in the new set of holes and resecure it with our clip. As you can see, this basket-style cargo carrier is going to make it very easy to get gear outside of your vehicle into the basket, freeing up room for passengers and pets. This is also going to help us get the wet, muddy, dirty items out of our vehicle, place them into the cargo carrier, and allow them to dry. The surface itself is an expanded steel. This is going to allow all that dirt and debris and things like that to fall down through it. Very easy to clean.
We're just going to hose it off and allow that stuff to go on through. Now all the way around the perimeter we have a raised side rail. This side rail's going to help hold our gear into place. It's 5-1/2" from the top of the platform to the top of the rail here, so as you can see, gives us a good secure fit. This is also going to create several tie-down points.
These are going to go all the way around allowing us to hook straps in wherever we need them to secure our gear. We've got good visibility from three sides. We've got a reflector that's here on the passenger side. We've got two reflectors on the rear and another one on the driver side. This is going to help that night time visibility to help people see that we've got a cargo carrier behind the vehicle. Now that we've gone over some of the key features of the rack, let's go ahead and show you how to install it onto our car. Installation's going to be a simple process.
We're going to slide the shank of the rack right into the receiver tube of our hitch. Now we've got a hole in the shank that we need to get lined up with our hitch pinhole. Once we have those lined up we're going to take our pin and clip. The pin and clip are sold separately. Here's our pin. We're going to slide that through and we'll secure it here on the other side with our clip. Now the part number on the pin and clip we're using is part number PC3. If you don't already have one at home you can check out our website and pick one up there. Once we've got our hitch pin in, as you can see we are going to have a little bit of play and a little bit of movement in the rack. If you'd like to get rid of that and at the same lock your cargo carrier onto your vehicle, we do have an anti-rattle locking hitch pin available. Its part number is 63232. We're going to pull the same pin and clip we did earlier to tilt it away from our vehicle into its platform position. We'll reinsert the pin here to hold it. Now our cargo carrier has a nice black powder coat finish. This is going to help resist any corrosion or rust down the road, giving us a long lasting product and it's going to look good for a long time. It's made of steel construction. It's fully welded all the way around. They also offer you a limited warranty of one year on the product. All we've got to do now is load our cargo carrier now with a couple hundred pounds worth of gear and we'll get it out onto the test course to let you see what it looks like in action. Here at the test course we're going to start by going through the slalom. This is going to show the side-to-side movement of the rack as if we we're changing lanes or turning corners. As we go around the corner into the alternating speed bumps we're going to see the torquing or twisting action on the rack as if we maybe hit a pothole or a curb. Once we get into our salad speed bumps we'll see the up and down action of the rack just like going in and out of a driveway or a parking garage. That's going to complete today's look at the CURT cargo carrier designed for 2" hitches, part number C18151.

The side rails on this hitch basket offer limitless tie-down options. When it's not needed, just fold the cargo carrier up against your vehicle.all pcs. were in the box. assembly was no problem, everything bolted together well. hooked to the truck but have not used it yet. what do you recommend to prevent loosenees or wabble once place into the hitch ? 703143
I recommend the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch RM-061. This anti-rattle device clamps around your trailer hitch receiver and the cargo carrier shank to keep the connection between the hitch and carrier tight.

Victoria B - 09/23/2019Lost my truck recently and needed a way to take in recycling without stinking-up the SUV. Cargo carrier assembled easy and worked great on the first trash run. Flipped-up perfectly for the follow-on shopping trip. 699695
Works great for hauling extra stuff 556891
This item was easy to assemble and feels solid. I can not wait to use it officially. 683383
Have used this to travel half around the country in the past year. Well built, convenient fold up design. Been through the cold, rain, sand, and the Florida heat/humidity. 680367
Purchased this for my 2009 Suburban. We have four young kids so need lots of extra storage. Net: This product rocks and I highly recommend. The rack went together without a hitch, parts were machined/welded accurately. Took about 30 minutes, but only because my kids were 'helping'. The rack is ROCK SOLID once assembled and haven't had to tighten a single bolt. Fold up feature is great. Since I purchased this in June, 2012, it has traveled over 1,500 miles on two different trips, through rain and across many dirt roads and held up really well. Opportunities for improvement: - the box it arrives in is of very low quality. Fortunately, no damage. - wish the guard rows were higher - be careful on how tightly you fasten the bolt for the hinge, can get sticky Overall: the only thing I would do differently is to have ordered the 24" deep version rather than the 20". Also purchased the water resistant bag and the hitch lock - both highly recommended accessories. 51801
Product came in the next day after being expedited for free. I was told 3-5 business days so that was a great surprise. Took me 15-20 minutes to set up. Its a little cumbersome but once on the truck is feels solid. There are other reviews that complain about the 1-2 inch play up and down but I believe that the manufacturer made it a little smaller at the receiver end to allow for certain hitches that have a build up of dirt or rust. Most recommend washers but I opted for wooden shims to stabilize it since they will be easier to pull out if needed.I had it loaded to the gills with luggage and a cooler and did not feel any bump whatsoever. It actually felt like it was a part of the truck. I was extremely happy with this hitch carrier and have friends already requesting use of it. I think by the time winter is over it will be paid for by "lending" out for buddies. I didnt attach a picture because there is already a video of a Dodge Durango in the catalog file and it looks exactly how it is in the video. The folding option is awesome! My box came fully intact unlike other unfortunate buyers. Great product! 100235
Very much appreciated the quick delivery of my order - thank you! My husband assembled the carrier and it seems like a good sturdy product. Unfortunately, a severe illness in the family forced us to cancel our vacation and we have not had an opportunity to use the hitch & carrier yet. 150925
We just used the carrier this past week. Worked perfectly and served the purpose.
Susie - 09/17/2015The 20x59 inch Curt cargo carrier works well for my Dodge minivan. The $132 price was very reasonable and construction seems durable and heavy. Assembly was not difficult. It can be installed on the van by one person, but definitely easier with two. I got the 2inch hitch version. I can fit two 35 gallon trash cans in it, plus a smaller can, with room to fit misc trash. I can also fit two 22 inch walk behind mowers on it, with gas and string trimmer. I can fit about 5 buckets of sand in the winter, 5 gal each, chainsaws, tools, gas, oil, anything you wouldn’t want inside the vehicle. I’ve had this for about a year and it continues to be a very helpful accessory. 623226
Perfect for carrying extra luggage. Performs as described. Was able to lift hatch door without a problem. Unit folds upright when empty. Great idea! 655224
Pros: - 6 hour trip two ways and no major issues. - Fits well on Jeep Grand Cherokee Cons: - Multiple build issues. The first issue was there was slag inside of the bar that the other side was supposed to fit into, which made it impossible to put together. I had to buy a metal file small enough to fit in there and file away for 15 minutes to get it to fit. - One of the upright flat panels that you bolt the other panel to to connect the sides was missing 95% of its weld, there was just a dot instead of a weld all the way across it. - After the whole thing was put together there were gaps in the cross bars where they should have been flush. No matter how I tweaked the bolt tightening they wouldn’t go straight together. I would have returned it but I was leaving on my trip the day after I got it so I had to make it work. And the box was destroyed. Spend the money to get a higher quality carrier. 677794
I was told this Cargo Carrier was the best option for my Honda Odyssey. I tried to go on vacation and as soon as I left the driveway realized it was dragging the ground. This product was not made for a Honda Odyssey. I would not recommend it for any low profile vehicles. 500935
Jeff, thank you for your review. If your vehicle has low ground clearance I would recommend curt cargo carrier part # C18153

20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
$158.44 I would recommend Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount part # D210

$44.74. D210 is a ball mount that has a 2 inch square receiver for accessories. This ball mount will give you an extra 3 inches of ground clearance.
Heather A - 04/27/2018Carrier fits on van perfectly. Price spot on. Quality is good and assembly was simple. This carrier will solve storage issues as I travel and will allow me to haul items that I do not want to put inside. Also ordered the carrier bag which will keep items out of the elements. Together I am very happy with both. I will continue ordering from etrailer as I am very happy with quality, pricing and delivery. 605749
Easy to put together. However, when folding up the side rails must push inwards the bumper to close. Not a good fit to my vehicle. Full closure means pushing my bumper a good inch. Driving with it up will cause paint damage and scratches. I wanted the high rails to keep items secure. So, not sure what I want to do yet. 79024
But a 7 hitch extension. Works on my full size van and Hummer.
-- comment by: Russ - 11/19/2013Extensions can be problem solvers, just keep in mind weight capacities of extensions.
-- Patrick B - 11/26/2013Installation: Easy Assembly: Easy Attached to: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" Item # C13163 Use: Camping equipment. Cooler, Chairs, Sleeping bags, firewood, etc. Like: The fact that it folds is a huge positive. What I would change: perhaps adding a ring or two on the sides to allow for bungee cords or rope. Because the hitch is already a bit low on the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander (stock wheels, tires, suspension) the back part of the basket can bottom out rather easily. It has nothing to do with the carrier itself though. I would definitely recommend this product! I'm going to use it again in a month for our next camping trip. 639475
A very substantial item. Well designed and constructed. If anything, it is heavy and a bit cumbersome to install in receiver. One other note is that the hitch pin barely clears the receiver hole and clip does not fit easily. I had to buy another longer Curt hitch pin to accommodate the short length. Surprising that the hitch and cargo carrier are both made by Curt but the pin is a bit too short. 557619
I just got back from a 2,000 mile road trip with this cargo carrier and it worked great. I also bought an anti-rattle lock instead of using the hitch pin and it held the carrier tight and stable. I didn't even notice the carrier was back there when I was on the highway. I had it hitched to my Acura MDX and it had plenty of room to open the rear door with gear already loaded on the carrier. I also used a Highland cargo bag and was able to fit 5 full duffle bags and a couple sleeping bags and still had room to put probably 1 or 2 more duffle bags. A con of the carrier is connecting the hitch pin. You have to align the holes where the hitch pin goes in exactly right or you'll never get the hitch pin in. I had to lift one side up sometimes and jiggle the carrier just to align the holes. It definitely was not a simple task like the etrailer video shows. The difficulty of connecting the hitch pin prevented me from folding the carrier up more often than I'd like to have done. Other than that, the carrier performed flawlessly. 22964
Easy assembly. .10 min...great quality. .love the folding feature...I bought this for my hunting jeep so I have a spot available to load game but not be forced to have a carrier hanging out at all times...as long as the 500lb rating holds up I couldn't be happier ..I won't need near that but the 300 lb carriers seemed a little lite 430623
Still working great..used a number of times
Brett - 09/09/2018The cargo carrier is very well built and the powder coating make the carrier look real nice , very easy to assemble. Got it just in time for my 500 mile road trip. 485696
Still looks great after a year. Would still recommend to anyone looking for a cargo carrier.
Li - 03/16/2019-Sustains 1. Quality 2. Durability 3. Functionality -Improves 1.None that I can think of at this moment! I was in a pinch and needed a "hauler" yesterday. Searched the interweb and came upon etrailer.com. Located a possible solution to our situation (Curt Cargo Carrier) and the rest is history. Cost efficient and quite simple to place in to operation. She stayed behind us for 800+ miles and never made a noise. To be honest I forgot during periods of the trip that she was even back there. All kidding aside fantastic product. Light, fast, and strong! 542548
Just used the carrier this last week which worked great with a storage container and some ratchet straps. You obviously need to be aware of it when coming out of a parking lot with a steep driveway as it will scrape but I only had issues with it once the entire week I used it. The flip up feature works great. Especially when you need to parallel park! I debated about the 20 vs the 24 but the length is plenty if you plan to use it with a storage container or get a few bags of mulch or something. I also chose the smaller version as the TW is 400lbs and this is cantilevered out so you really can't put the max capacity on the carrier depending on the hitch rating. Just be aware of the true dimensions as the interior is not 20x60 (mine measured 19.25x57.5). I also appreciated e-trailer EXCEPTIONAL customer service by ensuring this got to me in time for my trip. I got immediate response from them when asked about shipping and the package actually came ahead of when they promised. I will definitely be using e-trailer again. 148222
It was very hard to figure out what kind of cargo carrier would be the best for my needs, until I got on your website. Your videos are very informative to help with making the decision of which cargo carrier was best. It was very easy to put together, and very strong (I put my husband in it)this is perfect for our vacation transportation. 259240
THE BEST PRODUCT I EVER BOUGHT FOR HAULING. WE USED THIS FOR VACATION, WOOD, TRAVEL TO OUR SUMMER HOME.. ITS GREAT
Cynthia D - 06/09/2017Arrived quickly. Easy to assemble. Fits great. Looks like it is built strong. Can't wait to use it on vacation. 498288
You guys/gals are the best!! First of all amazing prices! Second, it was delivered when it said it was going be delivered. Third awesome customer service! I was putting it together and I over tighten one of the small bolts and broke in half. I emailed them to see how I can get an extra one. 10 minutes later Becky calls me and tells me that it's on it's way at no charge. I would give this overall experience 6 stars if possible. Once again, Thanks Becky for the quick follow up. 606351
Seems to be a great product and well made. I bought the foldable model as I drive a Jeep Wrangler 4dr. The spare is mounted on the rear tailgate as are all Jeep Wranglers. My only beef is that this model will NOT fold up with a standard Jeep hitch. IT touches the spare tire about a half inch too soon. I asked specificaly about this issue before buying and the lady that helped me gave me the dimensions. I measured it with her on the phone and told her I thought it would not fit with the measurements she gave. I was correct, it will not fold into a locked position. So I can only redrill the insert shaft , the hitch itself, buy a shaft extension or not fold it. The unit is heavy duty and seems well made. However there seems to be alot of play between the shaft insert and the hitch receptacle which will probably make alot of noise on rough roads. overall I am sure it is a good product but e.trailer needs to do some remeasuring. 220777
I had researched what type of carrier I wanted to buy and settled on this one. I was a good size, folded and has a railing to attach straps to. I also wanted to buy a cargo bag and anti rattle hitch lock but was not sure which ones were the right ones for my vehicle and this carrier. I called the company and spoke with a woman who was very friendly and helpful. She was able to confirm that the cargo bag I was looking at would be a good fit and told me what anti rattle hitch lock would work best. I placed the order and could not wait to receive the items. I received a e-mail within an hour confirming my order and that the order had been shipped. I received the order in two days rather than three as I had been told which was a nice surprise. I put together the carrier by myself and put it on my 2012 Dodge Durango and it fit perfectly. I was very pleased. The instructions could be done a little better but I am very pleased with the service and product so far and am looking forward to using it on our first trip. I feel confident that I got the best products to fit my needs and a great price. 58681
I received my cargo carrier and had it assembled in about an hour. It fits perfectly, helps protect the spare from theft. I can access the 110 ac cord as well as the water heater. Great product, great customer service and great shipment. Now I can take a generator and other extras to Yellowstone NationPark in October. Steve A. Mizera Christmas Valley Oregon 221897
I assembled the cargo hauler this morning and while I like the finished product, I had my doubts during the process of putting it together. I wish the instructions actually had directions as to the process. Things would have gone smoother if I had read that ,for instance, the support that fits into the device which allows the product to fold upwards had to go a certain way. Also the placement of the large bolt is vague,but important. I do look forward to using it on a trip next week and appreciate your prompt delivery. I suggest some reflectors be placed on the underside for when it is in the folded position. 58096
great person to talk with great product 729886
Great price for a solid product and excellent customer service. 719032
I was moving from Texas to Washington and I drive a small SUV. I desperately needed more space in order to travel with the things I needed. Most of my car was housing myself, two friends, a cat, and my fish tank so we were already pretty packed. Thankfully, my dad purchased one of your hitch packages and the shipping was incredibly fast. The product was super easy to learn and I was able to put it together and take it apart by myself. We couldn't hear a thing back there on our long drive and it weathered a good amount of rain and even a hail storm on our way up. The basket and hitch was definitely a life saver and now I get to use it for when I go camping! 715859
Fourth purchase with etrailer. amazing company all around. 710615
It’s doing what I want it to do. It made possible for me to put my generator with my camp trailer at all times. Without loading and unloading it from my truck every time I go camping. 700637
This will get the job done. seems like good stability. It does seem to stick out a little farther from the car than it needs to but I guess that's mainly because it folds up so it doesn't hit the car while in that position. cannot wait to use it 698285
Carrier was easy to assemble and it looks like it will work very well on my Highlander. I am not an engineer, so there may be a reason why the unit can't be slipped into the hitch receiver further, thus not sticking out quite so far. It will slip in but the locking hole only aligns at one spot. I think it will serve my purposes very well and I am happy with it. 683118
Very happy with the product. Still looks like new a year after. Been through freezIng and steamy weather but the finish is still shiny and works flawlessly. 681250
Very well built quick delivery. These people are very reasonable priced and products 679381
I recommend everyone to buy cargo carri er 675381
Fast delivery. Easy to put together. Exactly what I wanted. Great experience. 673571
The folding aspect makes it stick way out past the bumper : 12”+. I took the folding mechanism off and installed it without, and it is appx. 3”” off the bumper. Good quality unit. Easy assembly. 669468
After a year, I've used the cargo carrier for a couple of long distance trips with absolutely no problems. The vinyl cargo bag it a thick material, fits great, has lots of room for suitcases, ties down easy and is waterproof, as we've driven it through rain. I am very pleased with the quality of these products. 659815
Double Outstanding 652711
This product is what we needed. The platform held our cargo. Slightly disappointed in the wobble factor. I would have liked a more sturdy ride for the cargo. Very easy to retract and fold up the platform. 634090
STURDIEST ONE I HAVE SEEN YET AND I LOVE THE FOLD UP FEATURE !! 614595
Excellent customer service. Product is great! Thank you! 613629
great product very sturdy love how it folds easy to park 608301
Worked well on a recent Snowmobile trip for carrying plastic box and cooler. Would like to add some easier tie down points and LED BU and break lights. Any recommendations. 594405
Great, simply great! It was delivered fast and putting it together was easy. Once installed in the hitch it provides enough clearance (loaded) to open the rear hatch. The folding capability was a must when I purchased it and I’m more than happy with it. It folds up close to the vehicle but not close enough to cause any damage. 588913
Very sturdy, easy to assemble. Well worth the cost. Amazing delivery time! 588550
We purchased this along with the trailer hitch and found it to be a great addition to our Rogue. Good quality materials. We had it on our car when we made a trip from Illinois to California, using it to carry things that wouldn't fit in the car. 572905
