The 20x59 inch Curt cargo carrier works well for my Dodge minivan. The 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
Bill - 04/12/2020Works great for hauling extra stuff 556891
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
This item was easy to assemble and feels solid. I can not wait to use it officially. 683383
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
Susie - 09/17/2015Purchased 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
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
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
Extensions can be problem solvers, just keep in mind weight capacities of extensions.

Patrick B - 11/26/2013I 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
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
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
-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
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
Cynthia D - 06/09/2017Installation: 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
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
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
Brett - 09/09/2018Pros: - 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
The 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
Li - 03/16/2019Lost 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
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
Victoria B - 09/23/2019Arrived 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
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
