## Description

Even with the roomiest of vehicles, packing the car for a long trip can quickly turn into a frustrating game of Tetris. CURT cargo carriers are a simple yet effective solution for maximizing the storage area of your vehicle. The advantage of a hitch-mounted cargo carrier is that it can be mounted on the rear or front end of the vehicle as long as the vehicle is properly equipped with the right receiver hitch. Mounting a cargo carrier in the front opens up the rear receiver hitch for towing a trailer or adding a second carrier or bike rack if needed. The hitch-mounted design also makes installation quick and easy. CURT basket cargo carriers feature a strong bolt-together design and are made with heavy-duty carbide steel and a tubular construction for increased strength. One of the advantages of the basket style is its 6" high sides. These provide extra security and peace of mind during travel. This particular basket cargo carrier features a 2" x 2" bent, folding shank to provide more ground clearance and to fold up and out of the way whenever necessary. It also comes with a strong mesh platform to accept up 500 lbs. of cargo and has a durable black powder coat finish to resist rust, scratches and UV damage. Whether you prefer the hitch-mounted carrier or the roof rack option, CURT has cargo management solutions to meet your needs.

Review: Great purchase, perfect for us - We bought this basket 5 years ago and cannot be happier with it. It’s very easy to attach, I do it by myself, not very heavy, I’m medium build 70 years ago old and can handle it alone, although an extra hand is nice. The basket is very sturdy and we have taken on many trips. It’s been a game changer for us. We have an older large dog, so we can’t pack a lot of stuff in the back of our Highlander with her. The basket allows us to load a lot our travel things outside. It folds up easily when it’s empty and we almost always use it on our family vacations. We pack lots of our stuff in Commander storage tubs and they fit perfectly in the basket. I then use ratchet straps to hold everything together. Ours is the 2” hitch, as I say, super sturdy. I highly recommend this basket and would buy it again.
Review: Very good quality - This worked out to be the best purchase I could have made for our travels. It is important as you read this that you keep in mind that I bought the CURT 18153 Basket-Style Cargo Carrier that is 60" x 24" x 6" with the Angled and folding shank. I used this size basket on my 2017 Chevy Tahoe. The Angled shaft raises the basket a few inches which makes it easier to work with and load as well as clearance for steep drives. Also the folding shank allows you to fold the basket up and leave it on your vehicle after you have unloaded your bags or cargo at your destination. (see photos) I am very pleased with my purchase. The quality is excellent and very heavy duty. The welds might not be perfect if your talking about a piece of furniture in your house, but they are good quality commercial welds and you should not encounter any problems, The shipping box when it was delivered had some damage however the contents / cargo carrier and components were packed well and were not damaged. The box weight is about 70 pounds so you might need some help to move it. I did recommend to desertcart that they add to the box precut handle openings. I assembled the product in my home on the floor. Very simple and easy to assemble. You have the two halves of the basket, the 2 inch square center support and the angled / folding shank. You will also need a few tools. I recommend a socket set or box wrenches along with an adjustable wrench or "Channel Locks." There is one bolt head that is very large that my set did not have and I wanted to have one to fit so I went out and bought one. Once you have all the right tools and parts laid out it took about 30 minutes to assemble . . very simple. One person can do it, but when aligning the side rails to slide together it was nice to have someone there to help. You will need to purchase one hitch pin to keep the shank in your towing hitch on your vehicle. I purchased a locking hitch pin for security. In reading reviews some people also recommended an anti rattle stabilizer so I did also order the "StowAway" Hitch Tightener, Anti-Rattle Stabilizer for 2 Inch and 1.25 Inch Hitches Sold by: PacRec Products here on desertcart. It made a major difference in the up and down movement and lateral stabilization of the basket. I also purchased 2 plastic self adhesive reflectors and some reflective tape to help with the visibility. The cargo basket when down extends the overall length of the vehicle by about 42". We used this cargo basket on our trip to Colorado and we drove a total of 2,800 miles with no problem. With this size basket you can configure suitcases a few different ways. We had 4 full size suitcases on their side, but you could also stack side by side 6 full size suitcases. If you normally have a lot of smaller odd sized things you might consider buying some used suitcases at garage sales or flea markets and put the small and odd sized things in a suitcase for easier packing and tarping on the cargo rack. We used a 8' x 10' tarp with bungee cords and ratchet tie downs. Keep in mind the max weight is 500lbs, however we were at about 200 lbs for this trip. I recommend when you return as we always do, thoroughly clean and dry the cargo basket. Check for road chips and remove any rust that you might notice and use a couple of coats of black gloss Rustoleum Paint to touch up. I had no problem with my license plates , but I have seen where some people have "zip tied" their license plates to the cargo basket so they are seen. Drive safe and just keep in mind that your vehicle is 42 inches longer . .especially when backing up, parking and changing lanes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the actual dimensions of this product? The listing says 33.5x28x10.5 yet 60x24 was the answer on another posting.**
A: The answer saying that the inside dimensions are only 58x19.25 inches is completely inaccurate for this product. The inside dimensions are definitely 60x24 inches - I JUST measured it. Now the corners are rounded so you'll have some unusable space if you are placing squared off items in it, but that makes sense and I imagine one would not be able to play "tetras" perfectly while packing this thing no matter the case.

**Q: How much weight is it rated to carry?**
A: 500 lbs is just not accurate. 
I only had 210 lbs and the weight was evenly distributed. 
The Shank between the receiver and the pivot joint twisted like a piece of rope! 

This was only the second time that I had used the basket and it was only 4 months old. 

WHEN I CALLED CURT ABOUT THE PROBLEM THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE PART UNDER WARRANTY AND STATED THAT I MUST HAVE HAD ALL OF THE WEIGHT ON ONE SIDE! THUS IT WAS NOT USED PROPERLY AND THEY WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. 

WARNNING : THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT FOR CURT RATES A NEGATIVE 10 IF SUCH A RATEING WAS POSSIBLE.

**Q: Is the measurement 60x24 the inside or outside measurements**
A: The usable INSIDE dimensions of the basket are 58" x 19 1/4" x 5 1/2". All other dimensions are outside, including brackets, etc. The shipping weight is 59 pounds.

**Q: Does this come with the cargo bag?**
A: No, it does not come with a cargo bag. I purchased the Apex RBG-04 Extra Large Water Proof bag separate on Amazon. It was about $66 
It fit the Curt basket like a glove. Held luggage for 3 couples for a trip to the cruise ship terminal. We caught heavy rain on the way home, and
nothing had a drop of water inside the cargo bag. I would give both products a Five Star!!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Eight years later, still hauling
*by K***. on September 5, 2025*

I purchased this in June 2017 and after 8 years of use I still love this hitch haul. It has served us well on camping trips, hunting adventures, moving kids into college, and going on family vacation road trips. The curved shaft and raised platform help minimize scraping and also keep your cargo off the road a bit more. It is very sturdy and has a large storage capacity. I live in a coastal environment where rust can be an issue and have proactively repainted it several times. Despite this, the hitch haul is showing some signs of surface rust, but will probably last us several more years. Great purchase and would buy again. My only complaint: Not very visible. Only a small piece of red/reflective tape. I HIGHLY recommend buying additional reflective tape to enhance visibility of the hitch haul. I would recommend considering an elastic cargo net and a good tarp and/or cargo totes/boxes to help secure your load. We found this more convenient than the large cargo bags.
