Expert Reply:
The Curt Aluminum Cargo Carrier # C18100 features aluminum construction throughout, including the 2-inch tubular shank portion that fits into your hitch receiver. This material is responsible for the substantial reduction in the carrier's weight as compared to a similar Curt carrier made of steel. The aluminum carrier # C18100 weighs 29-lbs versus 40-lbs for the steel # C18109. Both feature the same 500-lb cargo capacity.
