CURT 18100 Tray-Style Cargo Carrier
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 a 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 introduces the mesh, bolt-together, tray-style cargo carrier. This carrier features a lightweight aluminum design to put less strain on your vehicle and resist rust and corrosion from outdoor exposure. It comes with a 2″ x 2″ shank and can hold up to 500 lbs. of cargo. This particular model also comes with a folding shank to allow the cargo carrier to be folded up when not in use. It offers a total storage area of 60″ x 20″.CURT tray-style cargo carriers are versatile and simple to use. They have holes along the outer edge for mounting a cargo net or bungees, making it easy to keep items secure, and they provide plenty of space to make your trip more comfortable, no matter where you are headed. Whether you prefer the hitch-mounted carrier or the roof rack option, CURT has cargo management solutions to meet your needs.

Not too bad, but I made it better.. I bought this with Amazon Prime next day shipping as I needed it for 300 mile each way trip to go fishing. Got it on time, so shipping was good. Overall I like the carrier, but it has a few issues with being wobbly that other carriers might have as well. I installed this on my 2007 Dodge Nitro R/T.I did a modification to shorten up the 2″ steel tubing by 1.5″. It is much more stable now. I basically pushed the 2″ tubing tight to the weld for the folding mechanism, then marked it…
Great alt to those heavy all metal units Light weight, sturdy, yet not something you would toss logs on, as it does need some minor thought of weight distribution. Mine after the one trip with about 200-300 pounds of gear did slightly sag on the sides/ends. I think I can tighten it down more and should help. Easy to assemble, less than 30 minutes. The receiver just doesn’t sit snug, but I found this to be the case with many hitch adaptations, like my bike rack. Same thing, so play. This was enough play for me to do something about it…
