The cargo bag I highly recommend for your Pro Series Cargo Carrier # 63153 is the etrailer Cargo Bag # 988501. It has 20 cubic feet of storage, is waterproof with PVC coated nylon, and has six tie-down straps that will secure it to your Pro Series Cargo Carrier. If you take a look at the photos I've added you can see exactly how this bag looks when used with the Pro Series.

I've also attached links to video reviews of this bag for you to take a look at.

The Curt Cargo Carrier # C18152 and Pro Series Cargo Carrier # 63153 are alike in virtually every way, but I recommend the Pro Series # 63153 for a couple reasons. It is a bit lighter than the Curt, and also offers a little more distance from the edge of your hitch to the carrier - room which can be invaluable if you have a rear hatch that needs opening with the cargo still on the carrier. Another reason is that it comes with built-in spots to attach the LED lights from LED Light Kit for Cargo Carriers # 98174LED, which you are going to need if you have a large cargo bag such as # 988501 filled with gear. I would also strongly recommend you use Anti-Rattle Lock # 63232 with your cargo carrier not only to secure the carrier, but to create a quieter ride when it is attached. I've attached links to video reviews of these products for you to take a look at as well.

Hey Derek! Absolutely. A locking hitch pin is a worthwhile upgrade even if you won't be leaving the Benton MoveHitch #B86VR or #B38VR on your truck during trips or overnight stops. We actually have the etrailer D-Shape Anti-Rattle Locking Hitch…

Hey Jason! You can definitely use the two together. The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar #e38FV installs at the hitch receiver. The alignment collar on the Benton MoveHitch #B86VR and #B38VR (with cargo net) just helps you line it up with the hitch…

Hey David! The Curt Cargo Bag #C18211 can be used with the 22x60 Flint Hill Goods Cargo Carrier #FHG49ZR. However, the bag itself is 22" wide, while the cargo carrier has an inside width of 20-1/2". You will be able to sit it down inside…

Hi Dominik! We do have 4 Class 3 hitches with 2" receivers available for your 2023 Mazda CX-9 Carbon, all of which are going to be pretty similar. I have all 4 listed below with their weight capacities: etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom…

There are three differences in the two receivers. The etrailer Hitch item #e73ZR mounts slightly higher and will offer more ground clearance but the installation is more difficult. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item #C13395 has a higher towing and…

Hey Mark, you can go with a slightly wider cargo bag than your carrier and it will be just fine. You'd just need to strap the bag down and take up the extra material which wouldn't even be that much different than a bag that is exact same…

Hey Fred, thanks for reaching out. Yes, you are good. The #e67RV light kit will work fine with the 22x60 Flint Hill Goods Cargo Carrier #FHG49ZR. The light kit will work on really any cargo carrier with square rails. What will you be hauling on the…

Answer 11

Both of the 2 inch hitches we offer for your 2018 Mazda CX-9 will have their hitch opening below the rear bumper of the vehicle. The better option is the Draw Tite part #76020 over the Curt part #C13284 as the Draw Tite has a better price, slightly…

Answer 12

I do have a solution for you, but the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier #e98874 is not designed to be used on the back of an RV. Generally speaking, folding carriers are not ideal because they do not stand up too well to the extra stress exerted by the…
