Review on 500 Lbs Capacity Aluminum Hitch Cargo Carrier - CURT 18113 49" X 22-1/2" Black by Matthew Peterson

Thought when I paid extra I was getting a quality product, I have always been happy with Curt product’s in the past and I don’t normally leave negative reviews but this one pissed me off. First off I love the rack, I love that’s it’s black and aluminum and the steel support underneath. The bad part was I just spent about and hour and a half in the South Carolina sun using a Dremel to grind the extra thick powder coating off the male receiver and squaring up the metal because it would not go more than a 1/4 inch into receiver. I travel full time and did not have access to a grinder which would have made it easier for sure and did not have a chance to return as we are rolling out soon. The tube stock was out of square and the corners were marred up. (Btw I was a machinist years ago) it required quite a bit of grinding to make it work. I have several other bike racks etc. that I use in the same receiver on my Jeep and none of them have an issue. Cmon Curt it only takes a few minutes to check and see if these racks will slide into a receiver.I didn’t mind paying roughly an extra 50 bucks for you’re product but I could have done without the work!
