We Put the CURT 48″ Cargo Carrier to the Ultimate Test
We recently got our hands on the CURT 18110 cargo carrier, and let us tell you, this 48 x 20-inch tray doesn’t disappoint. With a solid 300-pound capacity, it easily handled our weekend camping gear and holiday road trip luggage. The versatile design features both 1-1/4 and 2-inch shanks, making it compatible with practically any vehicle in our fleet.
What really impressed us was the carbide black powder coat finish – after several rainy trips and some off-road adventures, it still looks great with minimal signs of wear. The raised sides are a thoughtful touch, preventing smaller items from sliding off during travel. Installation took us less than 10 minutes without any special tools.
For anyone needing extra storage space without committing to a roof rack system, this hitch-mounted carrier offers an excellent balance of durability, convenience, and value.
