Question:

Has anyone used it with a 2015 jeep cherokee? Just curious about exhaust heat being a problem with the waterproof bags.

Expert Reply:

Very good question, and the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151 can definitely be used on a 2015 Jeep Cherokee with a dual exhaust. The carrier is far enough away from the exhaust that when inserted in a hitch like the Curt # C13172 that fits your Jeep it won't be affected.

Cargo Carrier # C18151 measures 19" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the carrier, a distance which is evident in the accompanying photos of this carrier installed on a '15 Cherokee. I have also added a link to a video review of this carrier on this vehicle for you to check out. This carrier also needs either Pin and Clip # PC3, or for more security and stability, the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # 63232.

To keep your cargo safe from the elements I recommend the Curt Cargo Bag for Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier # C18211 because it is waterproof so everything you need to carry will stay nice and dry; it also has integrated tie-down straps to make it easy to secure to your cargo carrier. To secure cargo that won't be affected by the elements I recommend the Curt Stretchable Cargo Net # C18202.

I've added links to a number of video reviews for you to check out as well.
