Doesn't support the payload advertised

Base broken after transporting 5 times a 50 lbs payload. I did fix it, but broke again a few days later. Definitely not able to support almost 500 lbs as advertised.

Pros
  • Cargo Management
Cons
  • Can reduce maneuverability when reversing

Extra cargo space in my review

Used this cargo basket while driving from Florida to Arizona. Needs two people to attach to your hitch. It held one large suitcase, one small suitcase and a med sized overnight duffle-type bag. I put everything in hefty bags to keep road dirt/ rain off my suitcases and secured everything down with bungee cords. Didn’t have any problem with it at all.

Pros
  • The black steel construction ensures the carrier is durable and long-lasting
Cons
  • May affect braking distance of vehicle

Great for adding additional space!

We bought this to add to the space in my small SUV when moving my daughter to college. It worked like a charm. We still had more room in the additional waterproof bag that purchased when we had packed everything. Excellent purchase.

Pros
  • So far so good on my wrangler!
Cons
  • Heavy and difficult to maneuver

Good Product good for me

Easy to assembly. Appears to be sturdy and great addition to our Mazda CX-9. Can't beat the price and adds addition carrying space. Appears to be sturdy and our maiden voyage was a success! Bought the carrier bag and net and still saved a lot of $$ compared to a roof top carrier!

Pros
  • The CURT hitch cargo carrier gives you more cargo capacity than traditional roof racks or storage solutions
Cons
  • May require additional lighting for visibility

Solid basket for my opinion

Easy to assemble. Just don't tighten down the bolts until they are all in place. Fits great on my Infinit QX56. Able to open the tailgate even with two 45qt coolers strapped on.

Pros
  • did everything it was supposed to do
Cons
  • Can create blind spots when driving

Rugged, easy to assemble and use.

Excellent fast service; I received the item before the first day of the estimated delivery date. The carrier is solid and arrived in perfect condition. It was simple to assemble (followed directions). The wobble in the receiver is minimal. One note - it will not fold up with the spare tire on a Jeep liberty. I had hoped it would but didn't expect it to, so bought a hitch extension - all is good

Pros
  • ‎58 pounds
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all vehicles

700 mile trip complete with cargo carrier, no issues

I recently returned from a round-trip Minneapolis to Chicago drive with this and the Reese Towpower 44686 Class III Custom-Fit Hitch with 2" Square Receiver opening, includes Hitch Plug Cover . The carrier performed as I had hoped with no vibrations/sounds while in motion as others have reported. This could have much to do with the hitch installed on, so could vary widely by user.The carrier does stick out a fair amount when folded down, so be aware in turns/merging but I found this was the…

Pros
  • ‎No
Cons
  • Not suitable for long items

Cargo Car Go. best in my review

Got this for a road trip we are planning. Using it with a Jeep Cherokee and needed some extra space to pack various items. I did a lot of research on line and while there are cheaper cargo carriers to be had I wanted something securely built. I liked the wide metal plates used to form the sides of the basket as these will provide better strength against torquing than smaller plates I see used on cheaper baskets. I got the folding unit and it was no problem at all for me to bolt it together. I…

Pros
  • The hitch cargo carrier allows you to free up valuable interior space in your vehicle
Cons
  • Not suitable for motorcycles or bicycles

Love the convenience

The bolt the cargo hitch rotates on. My concern is rotating it up and down on the threads. Sent email to company but no response.

Pros
  • Cargo Baskets
Cons
  • Can affect suspension performance

A car camping must on my review.

Works well. I worry about it long term as there are a few spots that were not coded with whatever black coating that they used, although I could probably find some sort of spray for it. Part of the bottom metal weave stuff also came bent and not connected in a section. I am sure it will be fine, and we plan to keep it in our garage when not in use. It makes car camping though so much easier. Due to back problems, I could just no longer help lift our giant Costco sized cooler into our SUV when…

Pros
  • Good quality. Well made.
Cons
  • Can obstruct license plates or lights

Expected more on my review.

It says it holds 500 lbs. I put about 250 on it and the carrier bent down. I tried driving with it bent down anyways and any time there was a bump or the road was unleveled the carrier would hit the ground. Unfortunately I had to ditch it mid trip. I would recommend getting a carrier with a up slanted bar to help with this issue.

Pros
  • Fits a good amount of items got any occasion. Pleased with the product for sure.
Cons
  • Limited ground clearance

Great product, well constructed.

Great product, very well made! We just went cross country in a Nissan Pathfinder and this held the extra gear. Very rugged construction, easy to assemble and operate.

Pros
  • The CURT hitch cargo carrier can be used to transport furniture, appliances, and other large household items during moves or renovations
Cons
  • Can create additional wear and tear on vehicle

It's very sturdy, but when you attach it to the hitch .

We bought this to put on the back of our camping trailer for additional space. It's very sturdy, but when you attach it to the hitch it moves too much. We are going to use straps to secure it to the back of the trailer to make it more secure.

Pros
  • Muy util..y estable.. mantiene la capacidad de carga
Cons
  • Can cause stress on hitch receiver

2016 Durango R/T for my opinion

Super sturdy. Might wiggle a little but I promise you, everyone does when it's empty.Little pushing and pulling to line up the holes but no need for drilling or grinding like others state. Simply put it all together before tightening bolts down, problem solved.

Pros
  • Exterior Accessories
Cons
  • Not suitable for high-speed driving

High quality! best in my review

Nice basket to haul extra stuff for my SUV. High quality construction would recommend this basket to anyone looking for additional storage for their car.

Pros
  • The carrier's sturdy construction allows it to hold up under the most demanding of conditions
Cons
  • Can create additional drag on vehicle’s engine

Solid rack but hardware almost entirely useless

The rack is solid and is easy to put together. I had to go to the hardware store twice since they forgot all the washers and then I realized they included carriage bolts for round holes so I had to buy three hex head bolts and nuts.

Pros
  • The carrier's versatile design allows you to use it with a variety of hitch sizes and types
Cons
  • Can create additional road hazards

Works great but. in my review

I use the carrier for extra storage on my RV. Note that it cannot be used in the fold up position on a class C as the tongue is too short. However, it is very sturdy and worked well for my needs. You do have to wrestle it to get into its locked position.

Pros
  • Very sturdy , great construction, went together easily
Cons
  • Can attract thieves

Revainrating 4 out of 5

easy to use and solid construction

Easy to set up, easy to install. It takes 10 seconds to fold up when not in use. The pin used for folding up requires a little jiggling to get out, however to me that just means that it is a tight and more secure fit. Seems to be of good construction.

Pros
  • The CURT hitch cargo carrier allows you to easily transport bulky or heavy items on road trips and vacations
Cons
  • Can reduce ground clearance on vehicle

Sturdy Frame with Bent Mesh

The frame of this carrier is sturdy with easy assembly. Unfortunately, the wire mesh bottom was severely bent. I needed this for an upcoming trip and don't have time to get a replacement which is the only reason I'm not returning it. The box it came in was not damaged but the boxes inside it were so I guess the problem could have occurred in transport but when it says it can support 500 pounds, that would be a lot of weight to cause these dents. It also appears warn on parts of the frame like…

Pros
  • With its 60 X 20-inch basket and 500 lbs capacity, you can fit plenty of cargo in one trip
Cons
  • Can create tire rubbing or scraping

That ain't right! best in my review

The plate where the 4 bolts are supposed to mount into on the back is a half inch too wide for it to line up. Completely wrong plate or defective spacing on the rear welds for the cross support. Can't even put it together until I drill holes and customize the thing.

Pros
  • The carrier can be used with many different types of vehicles, including SUVs, trucks, and vans
Cons
  • Can obstruct rearview mirrors
