Published 10/06/2017

Expert Reply:

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.
