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.by: Ryan09/07/2022
This is perfect! Our Mazda cx5 didn't have a ton of ground clearance after installing the hitch. This cargo carrier with the hitch riser is perfect to solve that problem. My only complaint is I stepped between the metal supports and the meshvonnthe bottom came loose/bent. Still holds up just find though. Ice had this thing fully loaded, too! Definitely recommend a anti-rattle or stabilizer kit to help stabilize it and lift it up.

Love the cargo carrier for our hitch. However, I wish there were horizontal supports under the metalmesh on the bottom. If anything relatively heavy isn’t on one of the supports, the mesh bends or pops out of place. It looks like it may have been painted after the mesh was in place because the outer edges are starting to rust already. My only complaints. We’ve loaded this thing up high and wide and it works great!

@Ryan We're glad your cargo carrier is working okay for you.
by: Jordan09/13/2023
This cargo carrier is easy to assemble, install, and fold up. The rail is nice for attaching ratchet straps to keep everything in place. It's sadly not wide enough to fit typical lawn chairs, so you'd have to put them sideways and laying on top of the rail. It seems to tilt in one direction. I'm not sure if it bent due to the load I put on it, or if that's the way it came together. It also wobbles a little bit due to (in my opinion) lax manufacturing tolerances. Overall, it does its job well.

If you do not already have one I recommend using part # 63232 which will give you a lock and anti rattle device in one.
by: Martin04/26/2021
This carrier was super easy to assemble. It is a bit heavy but I was able to mount it onto my hitch alone. I’m using an anti-rattle lock and they work great together.

No issues after a year of use. We used it maybe four times last summer for our trips to the lake. Haven’t noticed any rattling or loosening of boltswelds.

Installation: 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.

Great additional storage/ transportoption option without having a pickup. Rack has great quality as well as strength. It works great for safely transporting fuel in my compact vechicle
by: Cynthia D. Adams06/08/2016
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.

THE BEST PRODUCT I EVER BOUGHT FOR HAULING. WE USED THIS FOR VACATION, WOOD, TRAVEL TO OUR SUMMER HOME.. ITS GREAT
by: Brett09/09/2017
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

Lost 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.

After a year this is still a great product!!
by: Michael07/29/2019
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.

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.

Still looks great after a year. Would still recommend to anyone looking for a cargo carrier.
by: Tiffany 07/14/2023
This cargo carrier was excellent for a cross-country roadtrip we took last summer and we've used it many times since! We use it with our 2019 Subaru Crosstrek.
by: Stebve M08/26/2015
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.

Very sturdy. You don't realize it's there when driving. Enough clearance from twin tip exhaust to avoid melting of cargo out the back. Folding function is great. This product has made road trips much easier.
by: Ed05/22/2023
Arrived very well packaged, not a scratch or dent.
I suggest downloading the instructions from the etrailer product page, the included instruction sheet is not very informative.
I also drilled an extra hole in the shank so that I could move the basket close to the back of the truck when carrying a load. I just do not like the basket out that far when driving around. My older basket had the extra hole.
by: Douglas10/26/2022
Rack performance is excellent…geometry of the bottom edge relative to the low height of the hitch relative to the road surface requires thinking ahead when there’s significant difference in road surface pitch (for example backing into a steep driveway from a horizontal pavement would result in the carrier dragging for a short distance)
by: 04/13/2022
Easy installation and solid build! We assembled the cargo carrier and installed the hitch very easily! Took it on a trip and it did great, we love it. Thanks so much etrailer!

Easy to assemble. Don't forget a receiver hitch pin.

Still have to bang the pin in with a 5# maul. Holes never loosened up.
by: Barbara10/29/2023
strong, sturdy, fits nicely on my van. plenty of space for me to put alot of items that I could not fit into my van. It is worth the money.
by: Christopher11/10/2021
Easy to assemble. Welds questionable. Paint quality poor. The flip hinge has play hopefully not noisy when loaded. Time will tell
by: Bill04/12/2019
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.

Awesome cargo carrier, perfect for my u se!!

This cargo carrier is built very well and has made our family road trips much easier. From either carrying coolers or totes to help friends move, it held up to our abuse.
by: John08/28/2011
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.
by: Peggy07/09/2021
Worked like a charm. I was skeptical about using this, as I’d never seen one before. On the trip to Florida, I did see multiple other vehicles with racks.

- Recommendation for Curt Cargo Carrier that Folds and Has a Rise in the ShankWhile there isn't a shank with a rise in it designed to fit Curt cargo carrier # C18151 there is a version of the carrier that has a rise in the shank already.

It will sit 14 inches off the ground at the back of the carrier. And adds 38-1/2 inches to the back of the vehicle.

You'll need to measure the outside diameter of your tailpipe in order to get the correct tip. I don't have a ready reference that would tell me the diameter of the exhaust pipe of your Pilot. In order to place your cargo carrier as far away as possible from the exhaust pipe, I'd recommend using a carrier with a long shank that's angled raise the cargo platform as much as possible.

This carrier has a distance of 9 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the carrier when folded up and 19 inches when folded down.

The primary differences are the carriers' weights and the type of shank on the carriers. Part # C18151 has a shipping weight of 58-lbs while the (Discontinued) C18153 has a 70-lb shipping weight due to slightly beefier construction.

If you measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on your vehicles hitch to the part farthest back on your vehicle and it measures less than 6 inches, the Curt folding cargo carrier will fit when folded.

view full answer... - Will the Curt Cargo Carrier Work with My 2018 Honda Odyssey?From my research, I did find that the 2018 Honda Odyssey comes with a factory 2-inch class II hitch. In addition, I confirmed with Curt that the 20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs # C18151 will work for your 2018 Honda Odyssey Mini Van. The carrier has a weight of 58 pounds, which will easily hold on your hitch. The Curt cargo carrier is designed for your 2-inch hitch receiver, so it is compatible.

The inner dimensions of the carrier are 58 inches by 20 so you would have a great deal of room for your 2 bins as long as they fit those dimensions. When we installed a similar now discontinued Curt carrier on a 2013 Honda Pilot we found that the taillights were further apart than the carrier was wide so they were still visible(see attached video).

- Hitch Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2014 Jeep Wrangler with Wide SpareThe best solution for a cargo carrier for you is going to be the part # C18151. This cargo carrier has 19 inches from the pin hole to the nearest carrier railing so it would clear your rear spare and has a 2 inch rise built into the shank for additional ground clearance.

view full answer... - Can the Shank on Tow Ready Cargo Carrier # 63153 be Used in the Drop PositionI am sorry, but the shank on the Reese cargo carrier # 63153 can only be used in the rise position, it would not be able to be installed with the shank reversed. We do have a Curt cargo carrier, part # C18151, which has the same platform dimensions as the Reese carrier, but has a straight shank, so it would not be raised up from your hitch opening. This would probably work better for application. You can see a review on the Curt carrier at the following link.

It has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 525 pounds which will plenty for you. We don't have any pictures of it on an Impreza so I don't know how hidden it will be but it's coated with a black powder finish over an e-coat finish for rust protection.

Especially if the cargo carrier is at the same height as the exhaust, relatively close to it, and/or the material in the carrier is susceptible to melting. Other factors to consider are the size of the engine, climate, and road conditions. Engines are basically big air pumps. The bigger the motor the more hot air is pumped out of it. Hotter climates will also allow things...
