Why this product

Why the CURT 18029 Cargo Carrier with Ramp?

The CURT 18029 includes a fold-up ramp — purpose-built for loading ATVs, riding mowers, and heavy wheeled equipment. At 55 lbs in steel with 500 lb capacity, it's a utility workhorse. The downside? Heavy, rust-prone steel construction, the ramp adds weight and complexity, and this is strictly a utility carrier — not a road-trip cargo solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

The CURT 18029 Cargo Carrier with Ramp uses a standard hitch receiver mount — works with any 2-inch or 1.25-inch receiver. Check your specific vehicle in our compatibility checker below.

Check the product specs for the exact weight rating. Most hitch carriers in this class handle 300-500 lbs. Your hitch class matters too — a Class III hitch maxes out at 500 lbs tongue weight. See our hitch cargo carrier guide for details.

Hitch carriers sit below the roofline. No wind noise. Zero. You might hear a rattle if you don't secure the hitch pin properly — use an anti-rattle device and you're golden.

Easy job. Slide it into your hitch receiver, insert the pin, tighten the bolt. A wrench and 10 minutes is all you need. See our hitch cargo carrier guide for tips.

Steel carriers need a good finish to fight rust. This one has a powder-coated or painted surface. Inspect it seasonally and touch up any chips. Road salt is the real enemy — rinse it after winter drives.

No fold mechanism on this one. You'll need to remove it from the hitch when not hauling gear. Good news: that takes under two minutes. Store it in the garage standing up to save floor space.

Minimal impact. Hitch carriers sit below the roofline, so they don't create the drag that roof-mounted gear does. Loaded, expect maybe 1-2% fuel economy loss. Unloaded, essentially zero. Best option for fuel efficiency.
