Cargo Carrier Weight and Tongue Capacity for 2010 Toyota Corolla
Updated 04/11/2013 | Published 09/14/2009
Question:
I bought a Curt hitch from you for 2010 Corolla. It says it can take a tongue weight of 200lbs. Do I factor in the cargo carrier weight to that limit and add the cargo as well?

Expert Reply:
The 19X 47 Curt Carrier # C18110, weighs 30 pounds. Yes you must factor in the weight of the cargo carrier and cargo and any items loaded behind the rear axle of the car. You also need to check your vehicle maximum tongue weight rating and use the lowest maximum rating of the vehicle, hitch or cargo carrier as the weight that can be carried in the receiver hitch.
If you have a 200 pound max tongue weight rating and no items loaded in the vehicle behind the rear axle then you could carry 170 pounds safely on the # C18110 cargo carrier.

hi, thanks jim for asking the same question i would like to ask. and bob, or anyone knowledgeable, i would like to ask additional question pertaining to this tongue weight issue. You stated: ......If you have a 200 pound max tongue weight rating and no items loaded in the vehicle behind the rear axle then you could carry 153 pounds safely on the, 6500, cargo carrier..... does that mean that there shouldnt be any items loaded in the trunk for me to able to haul 153# on the cargo carrier? or i could load and haul something in the trunk plus a 150# in the carrier? i am talking with regards to a 2009 honda accord with hidden hitch class 1 receiver hitch #60325. thanks in advance.
