17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs
I was looking for a basket style hitch carrier that was not too big. Most carriers I saw were 60 inches long. This one is 48 inches and was just what I was looking for. I like everything about this carrier: the looks, style, size and weight. I will be using it to carry beach equipment during our summer vacations to the Outer Banks, NC. The assembly instruction page leaves alot to be desired as there is one picture trying to explain how to completely assemble the carrier. You can figure it out, but will take some time and multiple looks at the one diagram. It took me about 1.5 hours to assemble. Some other facts for those of you looking for a hitch carrier to use on a Jeep Wrangler. I have a 2013 Wrangler Unlimited with the factory installed trailer towing package & 2 inch receiver. You have to use a hitch extender with this particular carrier in order to clear the rear mounted spare tire. The JK Wranglers need approx. 12 inches out from the center of the hitch pin hole. Also, you will not be able to fully open the tailgate as the tire will hit the carrier. If you went with a flat carrier (not the basket style of this Curt one), you most likely would be able to open the tailgate and clear a flat carrier. Troop, the customer service rep who assisted me with my order was fantastic.
It's been good so far after a year. I use it on my jeep wrangler JK 2 door for extra storage when I need it. I would say when assembling be careful not to over tighten as the screws will push into the metal and sink into it if you over tighten. Also make sure you get an anti-rattle hitch adapter to prevent shaking and swaying. Other than that so far so good, recommend it, especially if you have a jeep, the width is perfect. Oh and I also use a drop hitch adapter so I can open the tailgate of the jeep without taking this off; it might be a good idea to get one too.

20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
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.
Bought this for my 2013 Jeep Wrangler. Works great!

Awesome cargo rack. Went together easy and built super strong! Love eTrailer.com!
Bought a jeep Wrangler and wanted extra cargo room. Also wanted to drive on beach and fish, the carrier will be perfect for rod holders and a cooler. This cargo carrier was easy to assemble and is very sturdy.

Easy install of the hitch and the rack is perfect for our outdoor activities. Thanks for the help on choosing it.
It was perfect for our trip to the smokey mountains. we took to Jeep wrangler and used two heavy duty plastic tubs and were able to take everything we needed. It cleared the rear tire with plenty of space and everything was clean and dry. sturdy and does the job

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs
Very durable basket, and fairly easy to install. It's definitely transformed the look and practicality of our little SUV.
I am very pleased with the quality for the price.Just the right size for my 2017 Chevy Trax.the "U" bolts that are used to clamp the basket to the roof cross bars were a bit long so I cut them shorter & installed rubber caps on top of each stud. This keeps the studs from damaging items in the bssket.See pictures.

19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs
We used this luggage rack for a 2 week road trip in my 2015 Jeep Wrangler. It worked great! Carried all our luggage and gear, didn’t obstruct the tail lights and was super easy to put on and take off. I was completely pleased with the rack and would recommend it.
Sturdy. Well constructed. Fits my lifted jeep wrangler even with larger rear spare.

19x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
used multiple times to haul my 6hp outboard together with boat accessories for my portabote. No sway issues, no quality issues, works as expected which is excellent. Easy setup. On a heavy side as expected, but no issues setting up alone I am using this on jeep wrangler 2017 unlimited, not modified. For my application it works well with known in advance limitations: 1. due to spare tire i cannot open the gate 2. for the same reason cannot fold carrier
Just wanted to do a follow up with you in regards with a Hitch Cargo carrier I had purchased from you before the holidays. Not sure if you need my order number or not to prove it but just wanted to give some feed back. I did send you some pictures with it installed,not sure if you had received them or not. They were before and after pictures before I added some more reflective tape on the carrier for more safety. I did have some trouble in order to keep the carrier stationary with it having to much play in it. Wasn't as stiff or secure as I would have liked it, but with really tighting up the bolts on the hitch shaft & carrier it was alot better. I do have a problem where it does like to keep getting loose and I have to keep tighting it which I dont think I should have to keep doing. The bolt has actually began to cut into the black powder coat as it's the only was to tighten it for it to remain secure. It will sway or have to much play in it if I don't tighten it. And the layer of powder coat on it is pretty slim. I use to deal with, apply and work with powder coating on products for years learning all that I could as it was a new job I took a path in with a company. So I know a bit about it. I just wish they had done a thicker layer or some kind of added protection layer on top of the basic simple application they did on the carrier. But I guess this is something I can do later on to perfect it and give the carrier a long life. Wasn't aware when I purchased the carrier that only a small coat was applied. I should have done more research with pricing but already did research on what kind and who to use when buying so I assumed etrailer was the place to shop & buy. I did very much glad I was able to talk with you,help me out and figure out what I was looking for. Giving me a my options,not pressuring me, being so helpful making it easy to purchase and delivery. When I had no idea what I was getting into you did make it extremely comfortable,personable and customer friendly helping me out every step of the way. So I guess in the long run the extra pricing is being paid for the customer support, friendly & helpful service, along with being able to call anytime getting a person and not a computer for any help or problems that I might encounter. And for that alone, it makes it worth it. Just didnt know why Curt sold things to them and the price is different when I thought I was getting a great deal already. But wanted to let you know they are being sold cheaper elsewhere than e-trailer. And it's not even a holiday special..lol I hope this email can give any insight on the product and makes sense also. I will find out starting Jan. 12th when we start traveling into the cold how everything holds up, and pray that it does great in the cold. With it being in warmer weather now I do have to admit I'm a bit scared. I hope the cold won't give me problems with constantly having to tighten things down, things can stay tight and secure without coming loose, and for the bag to hold up more than anything. On my time will tell. Maybe this can help anyone else seeing what it looks like on a Jeep Wrangler Sport also with the rear mounted tire. It's close but everything fits without a problem,no clearance issue's or mounting issue's what so ever. However, I did add more reflective tape so the Curt cargo carrier was more visible for driver's that don't pay attention and not much was offered for the cargo carrier. I have both pictures before and after, with more tape and without, and it adjusted up & down. I did have some trouble with it moving around some hitting the rear tire so I just used a bungee cord to secure it tight against the tire to correct it. This is mounted on a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Sport so this model covers many types and years. Can be very helpful for any other Jeep owners and can use this for any reference. This is gonna help use so much and wish we had this on the 1st move we had out to Cali. I don't have any pictures yet with the luggage and bag full yet, but will try and get them over to you when we use it and pack it up. Should help also for anyone with concerns what is looks like full, any taillight problems, license plate, etc.

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 64-1/2" Long x 39" Wide x 7-1/4" Tall - 150 lbs
I only use the roof rack for vacations because they make cars so small on the interior now a days. It handles quite a bit of luggage. Including two big size luggage and two small is how I travel. Make sure to get water proof covers and good straps. I stopped every 3 hours to make sure load was secure and drove over 700 miles without any issues. The rack will make whistle noise because of the wind passing through the bars but I just toned it out and blasted the radio . The product is great and sturdy easy on and easy off. My only complaint is putting on the wind guard. I couldn’t figure it out because the instructions have poor information on the wind plate. Also it took two deliveries to receive the product due to my first delivery being opened/ repackaged and missing parts like keys. I returned it and got the product in a new package with no more issues. Customer service was very helpful also and communication was well organized. Make sure to order well in advance just incase you might have to send the product back because of packaging issues. Also product is easy to store without disassembly of the rack rails. I put it in my garage and it takes up no space. I hope this review helps someone. Thank you
I love the rack and the extended length is great on my Sequoia. I am disappointed with the finish on it as the connector plates are already showing signs of rust….. I like it enough that I’m going to repaint it with something more suited to our climate…
What our customers are saying:
