The CURT 18145 is a reliable, hitch-mounted basket cargo carrier designed to help you maximize your vehicle's storage capacity. Perfect for long road trips, camping, or transporting bulky gear, this carrier allows you to free up interior space by moving equipment to the exterior of your vehicle.

Product Description

Packing for a trip can be challenging, but the CURT 18145 makes it simpler by adding essential exterior storage. Engineered with a bolt-together design, this basket-style cargo carrier is built using heavy-duty carbide steel and tubular construction for strength. It features 6-inch high sides, which provide extra security for your cargo during transit.

With a load capacity of up to 500 lbs., it is built to handle heavy-duty hauling needs. Its black powder coat finish is specifically formulated to resist rust, scratches, and UV damage, ensuring long-lasting performance in various weather conditions.
