CURT 18145 Basket-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 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 1 1/4″ x 1 1/4″ shank with a 2″ x 2″ adapter sleeve to be able to fit most receiver-type trailer hitches. It can 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.

I wanted something to haul extra cargo and even a generator when I’m really going deep. This works great and when not in use, you can, if need be disassembled it and store in the vehicle. I’ve driven about 2000, mostly highway miles loaded with a Honda 3500 Generator and a Chainsaw,…
Seems well made, comes as a kit to put … Seems well made, comes as a kit to put together. The carrier has metric bolts and nuts so a metric socket set and wrenches make it easier. Took me about 30 minutes. Would have given it 5 stars but the 2 inch receiver adapter is a plastic material. I am using it in a 1 1/4 inch receiver so it isn’t a problem for me but would buy a 2 inch receiver model if I was using it in a 2 inch receiver. Curt products have done well for me in the past and this unit seems sturdier than the flat style with…
