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. ## Features - 6" tall sides keep items more secure during travel - Frees up space inside the vehicle for passengers and cargo - Constructed from heavy-duty, tubular steel - Folding shank allows carrier to be tilted up when not in use - Angled shank elevates carrier for more ground clearance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00JF5LRN0 | | Automotive Fit Type | Universal Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #14,568 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #16 in Vehicle Cargo Baskets | | Brand Name | CURT | | Color | Black | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car, Trailer | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,842) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00612314181537 | | Included Components | Basket Cargo Carrier | | Is Foldable | Yes | | Item Dimensions | 60 x 24 x 6 inches | | Item Type Name | Trailer Hitch Cargo Carrier, 500 lbs.

Capacity, 60-Inch x 23-1/2-Inch x 5-1/2-Inch, Fits 2-Inch Receiver - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71r099ErT6L.jpg) ## 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!!!! ## Frequently Bought Together - CURT 18153 60 x 24-Inch Basket Hitch Cargo Carrier, 500 lbs Capacity, Black Steel, 2-In Folding Shank - StowAway Hitch Tightener, Anti-Rattle Stabilizer for 2 Inch and 1.25 Inch Hitches.
