Even with the roomiest of vehicles, packing the car for a long trip can quickly turn into a frustrating game of Tetris. CURT cargo carriers are a simple yet effective solution for maximizing the storage area of your vehicle. The advantage of a hitch-mounted cargo carrier is that it can be mounted on the rear or front end of the vehicle as long as the vehicle is properly equipped with the right receiver hitch. Mounting a cargo carrier in the front opens up the rear receiver hitch for towing a trailer or adding a second carrier or bike rack if needed. The hitch-mounted design also makes installation quick and easy. CURT basket cargo carriers feature a strong bolt-together design and are made with heavy-duty carbide steel and a tubular construction for increased strength. One of the advantages of the basket style is its 6" high sides. These provide extra security and peace of mind during travel. This particular basket cargo carrier features a 2" x 2" bent shank to provide more ground clearance, and it comes with a strong mesh platform to keep items more secure. It can accept up 500 lbs. of cargo and has a durable black powder coat finish to resist rust, scratches and UV damage. Whether you prefer the hitch-mounted carrier or the roof rack option, CURT has cargo management solutions to meet your needs.

The CURT 18150 is a cargo carrier platform designed to mount on a 2" receiver tube hitch. It provides a flat platform for hauling cargo and has a maximum weight capacity of 500 lbs. The product comes as a kit requiring assembly before use.
The CURT 18150 is designed for vehicles with a 2" receiver tube hitch. To confirm fitment, verify that your vehicle has a 2" receiver hitch. The manual does not specify which vehicle makes, models or years are compatible; contact CURT product support at 877-287-8634 or visit curtmfg.com for detailed fitment information.
The maximum weight capacity is 500 lbs. Weight must be distributed evenly on the platform. Never exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, even if the cargo weight is within the 500 lbs limit.
You will need a 17mm wrench, a 19mm wrench, and an adjustable wrench. These are the only tools listed as required for assembly.
The kit includes: 2 platform frame halves, 1 shank (2"), 2 connecting plates, 2 M12 lock nuts, 2 M12 flat washers, 2 M12 hex bolts (75mm), 8 M10 lock nuts, 8 M10 flat washers, and 8 M10 carriage bolts (20mm). All fasteners needed for assembly are included.
Assembly has two steps: (1) Align the two platform halves on either side of the 2" shank. Insert the two M12 hex bolts through the platform, shank and other platform half. Install M12 flat washers and M12 lock nuts on the bolts. Snug the hardware but do not fully tighten yet. (2) Place the two connecting plates on the front and back of the platforms. Insert the M10 carriage bolts through the outside of the platforms, followed by M10 flat washers, and secure with M10 lock nuts on the inside. Finally, tighten all hardware to the recommended torque specifications.
M10 bolts and carriage bolts must be tightened to 16 ft-lbs. M12 hex bolts and lock nuts must be tightened to 28 ft-lbs. Tighten all hardware to these specifications after assembly is complete.
No. During Step 1, snug the M12 hex bolts and lock nuts but do not fully tighten them. Wait until after Step 2 is complete, then tighten all hardware to the recommended torque specifications (28 ft-lbs for M12 bolts).
Never exceed the vehicle manufacturer's towing capacity or the 500 lbs weight capacity. Do not use the carrier as a step or platform. Do not carry flammable items or allow exhaust fumes to blow directly on cargo—this is a fire hazard. Do not block brake lights or turn signals. Do not use to transport people. Always use caution when reversing. Distribute weight evenly on the platform.
Periodic inspection of the product should be performed to ensure all hardware and components remain secure. The manual does not specify the inspection interval or whether retorque is required at specific intervals.
