Question:

Can you recommend a cargo carrier and cargo bag or box for my car? I plan on using it with a Curt hitch and dont want to spend a fortune. I dont want to lose my cargo on the interstate either. I will be carrying luggage and/or coolers for a multi state trips. And landscape material when at home. I traded my pickup for the car so Im lacking the cargo space I need : I was going to order the Curt carrier but not sure if the Rola cargo bag can be fastened with the nylon straps provided? Or are there better options? I appreciate your help.

I know you said you plan on buying a Curt hitch for your 2011 Hyundai Elantra but I would actually recommend the Draw Tite part # 24902 instead as it has a better price and doesn't require a stabilizer strap like the Curt does with a hitch carrier.

The most popular cargo carrier that would work well for you would be the Curt part # C18110.

The etrailer Cargo Bag # e98990 would then fit the carrier well and would be a great choice as it's dimension closely match the carrier. The bag would attach with hooks through the floor of the carrier.

If you happened to already have the Curt hitch you would need the stabilizer strap part # 18050 to not void the warranty of the hitch.
