Hopkins Endurance

Hopkins Endurance is Hopkins Manufacturing's line of hitch-mounted accessories — cargo carriers, bike racks, and ball mounts. Hopkins itself has been an aftermarket auto-parts maker since 1954, best known for their brake-controller line.

The Endurance brand targets the budget-to-mid-tier cargo carrier market. Their hitch cargo baskets are steel, powder-coated, and priced below CURT — usually under $150 for a 500-pound capacity carrier. Not fancy, but functional.

The Hopkins corporate parent is in Emporia, Kansas. Products are imported but warranty support is U.S.-based. For a weekend-warrior carrier, Endurance is a reasonable alternative to CURT.
