Why this product

Why the CURT 18151 60x20 Basket Carrier?

The CURT 18151 is a 60x20" mesh platform basket with 500 lb capacity, folding 2" shank, at 33 lbs in steel. The mesh floor lets water and debris drain through instead of pooling. The downside? Mesh means small items can fall through without a liner, steel construction will rust, and the folding shank adds a potential rattle point at highway speeds.

Frequently Asked Questions

The CURT 18151 60x20 Basket Carrier 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.

The CURT 18151 60x20 Basket Carrier is rated for 500 lbs. Remember — that's the carrier's limit. Your hitch class matters too. A Class III hitch handles 500 lbs max on the tongue. Physics wins every time.

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.
