Why this product

Why the CURT 18131 Aluminum Cargo Carrier?

The CURT 18131 delivers 500 lb capacity in aluminum at just 25 lbs — rust-free and lightweight with a 2" shank. Here's the thing: for the price, this is one of the most practical hitch carriers available. The downside? No folding mechanism, no anti-wobble hardware included, and the open platform means everything needs straps and a cargo net.
