CURT Hitch Cargo Carrier - 60 X 20-Inch Basket With 500 Lbs Capacity, Black Steel, 2-In Folding Shank Review

Quick ship and easy to assembly. At first we were a little apprehensive because it seemed a somewhat wiggly. As soon as we filled it, it seemed to sturdy itself. We drove 11 hours from NC to FL and we barely remembered it was there. It's spacious but low enough to ground that it did not cover our taillights and we were able to open our lift gate on Town and Country minivan. After we emptied it upon arrival, we tilted it up to get it out of the way. We had purchased a basket carrier 10 years ago

Original Review (2019):I looked at a lot of these before purchasing this one.Pros: lighter than most, has places to tie stuff down, when not in use it folds up, it has the grate so when it is raining it does not collect water.Cons: not the lightest one. Does not fold up great when storing.Update (2021): We have used this on multiple trips. We have many friends who have now purchased this as well. Having seen more in person, there are definitely heavier ones out there. Storing it has not been a…

Used for extra space to haul camping gear. Hooked up to 2016 Tucson.It could have a little higher sides to keep products inside - I’d also like it to be a little wider so a 36quart cooler could fit sideways giving more room in the basket. I needed a converter to 1 1/4 in receiver, will need tie downs for next time, but overall it was a good purchase.

Great quality worked well on our last couple of trips. Not quite low enough to allow for the jeep tailgate (with spare tire) to open - but if it was then it would probably sit too close to the exhaust. Generally we leave it on for the long trip, and remove/store it in the hotel room if we are spending the day anywhere (with the suitcases that it carries anyway).

Serves it's purpose and definitely is heavy duty. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is due to the size of the hole in which the locking bolt goes through the hitch mount. The hole is too large which leaves it rattling around while driving and causing an annoying vibration every time I hit a bump or brake. Other than that one issue it is great!

Great product. Easy enough to install. Held coolers and toys for vacation. Used in Audi Q5. Even in the folded up position it was still possible to use back hatch without a problem - perfect clearance.

This is a great carrying basket. It sits back far enough from the exhaust that your items will not be affected by the heat. I like the way it folds up when not in use.

Super easy to set up and install on our 2012 Dodge Journey. BUT as this is my 1st experience using a cargo carrier on a hitch- one of our plastic bins completely melted because it was in front of the exhaust pipe. So note to all users- Don't put meltable plastic in front of the exhaust pipe when using this product!

Very heavy duty unit! Solid and heavy but I was able to put together and install alone. The installation took a bit but not too bad, just some bolts and some extra time to make sure everything is aligned and bolts tightened. Vorks great with my highlander for long trips.

Held up great on a 2000 mile road trip! Only knock is what I was expecting anyway, it has lower clearance while pulling into an elevated driveway and the base scraped against the pavement a few times! But it saved me from having to install roof rails on my car or shell out money on an expensive bare roof rack, so it served me just right while traveling with dogs! Pretty well built and no complaints so far! I bought a hitch tightener to reduce rattling or play so definitely invest in that if…

Solid product. I was able to mount with the extension for folding up as well as straight into the receiver so the carrier was next to the van.

I ordered the straight bar style. That style is perfect for 2006 Honda C-RV in that it is low enough that I can swing the door open if the rack is empty. 4 stars for the quality fit and finish being a little rough, when I cinched up hardware the mating parts don't line up so well. Also be aware, a comment in the questions indicated it would work with 2004 C-RV, but on my 2006 I cannot lock it into place because it interferes with the rear mount spare tire. I think I can modify it to work, but…

great unit Fold it up and go off roading, Found the perfect Christmas Tree unfolded the Basket Wrapped the tree in plastic, cut the tree and tied it to the rack. Really nice I did not have to tie the tree to the top of my ride.NOTE: I would like to see a model with built in lights. I used my wireless light bar.

Love the fold up capability.Extra room behind the carVery solid. A guy driving behind me wasn’t paying attention as I stopped to yield to a pedestrian crossing the street, he turned too late and bumped into this basket on my suv, didn’t event leave a mark on this basket but he had a crease on his fender. I checked with my mechanic, no damage to my car either. Lucky.

This item arrived early. It took 30 minutes to assemble. Everything fit with a little fore thought. Assemble upside down.makes it even easier. Finish and welds appear professional.

This will be used on back of a motorhome for things I can’t store inside when I’m not pulling. The welds were great and it went together easy. I think some people don’t tighten things a little at a time evenly so it doesn’t buckle. That’s all I have until I use it.

A little bit of a pain to install, but once we got it set up worked great. Will come in handy for those trips where we bring lots of outdoor equipment. sleds, boogie boards.

This cart is amazing! If you hunt deer, you need one of these carts. If you want to throw the whole deer on here its strong enough for 2 or 3 or you can put yourself a 120qt cooler on this thing and roll out too. Would buy again. I already gave one to my dad since it was so useful for me.

it does shake around quite a bit, you can't really hear it because it's in font of the engine. At night you can see it moving when driving slow thru the neighborhood.

I ordered this after 2pm on a Friday. It finally got to me on the following Wed.thank goodness because I was heading out on vacation that Thursday.i was surprised about the shipping since I have Prime but I won't harp on it since it came before I left. First off. Don't forget to order a locking pin when you order this. It's separate. It's very sturdy and held up for our road trip from Texas to upstate New York. We carried our ice chest on it. It was easy to put on the hitch and easy to fold up.
