Featuring 6" tall sides for secure hauling, an angled folding shank for increased ground clearance, and the ability to tilt up when not in use, this carrier is perfect for millennial professionals seeking practical, stylish, and reliable cargo solutions for road trips and daily hauling. ## Description 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 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. Review: Held up great! Drove 8 hrs each way with no issues. - We needed to add space bc we were traveling with 7 people. We probably ended up having around 250 lbs on this with the luggage we were carrying. We drove 8 hrs each way and it held up great. It did not come with an anti-rattle plate so we did end up having to purchase that separately. We didn’t necessarily read this one rattled but from other products, we wanted to get ahead of it. We really liked how the carrier flipped up when it wasn’t in use. We debated between this and one with higher sides but I’m glad we went with this bc it fit our needs best. We didn’t want to deal with sides not holding up or having to lift too high. We like how it gave enough height to keep your items secured and provided good spots to attach ratchet straps to. Our particular ratchet straps had a clip hook that the bar was too thick to close over but it did hook onto it fine and stayed in place when tightened up. We debated between this and one that came with everything you needed vs having to piece it all together. We went with this product bc of the more consistent positive reviews. It’s pretty solid (and heavy) and I’m sure it’s possible to put it in the hitch alone but I don’t think it’d be very easy. We had to kind of wiggle it to get it to slide forward. With our bag we were able to still provide good visualization of our lights behind us and the license plate. If our bag was full it probably would block that. Naturally it caused our parking alerts to go off when we went in reverse so that was annoying and did make me nervous when backing up bc it blocked our view (but I’m sure is always the case anytime you’re towing something so not a Product issue, but just something to be aware of). I also like how it was far enough from our tailgate that we were able to open it with items on it. All in all, we are very happy we went with this. The reviews seem to show that it holds up well over time which was important as well. We’d definitely go with this one again. Review: Great price. Great quality - Great for cargo especially compared to some of the other brands out there. We’ve used it on several road trip with no issues. It took maybe 30 minutes to put together. It is a little awkward and heavy when sliding it into the hitch. ## 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 | #26,724 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #18 in Vehicle Cargo Baskets | | Brand | CURT | | Brand Name | CURT | | Color | Black | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car, Trailer | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,854 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00612314181537 | | Included Components | Basket Cargo Carrier | | Item Dimensions | 60 x 24 x 6 inches | | Item Type Name | Trailer Hitch Cargo Carrier, 500 lbs.

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!!!! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Held up great!

Great quality *by A***E on August 18, 2026* Great for cargo especially compared to some of the other brands out there. We’ve used it on several road trip with no issues. It took maybe 30 minutes to put together. It is a little awkward and heavy when sliding it into the hitch. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid cargo carrier built to last *by G***D on July 29, 2026* This cargo carrier is exactly what I was looking for. It feels solid and well built, and once it's installed there's very little movement. It gave us plenty of extra space for coolers, luggage, and other gear, which made the drive a lot more comfortable. The powder coating looks good, and after using it on a road trip it still looks almost new. Assembly was straightforward and everything lined up like it should. If you need extra cargo space and want something that feels sturdy and dependable, I'd definitely recommend this one. ## 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.
