Cargo Management Assembly: CURT 18153 Basket-Style Cargo Carrier

Even with the roomiest of vehicles, packing the car for family travel 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, including RVs. 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.
This particular basket cargo carrier features a 2" x 2" bent, folding shank to provide more ground clearance and to fold up and out of the way whenever necessary. It also comes with a strong mesh platform to accept up 500 lbs.
- 6" tall sides keep items more secure during travel
- Frees up space inside the vehicle for passengers and cargo
- Constructed from heavy-duty, tubular steel
- Folding shank allows carrier to be tilted up when not in use
- Angled shank elevates carrier for more ground clearance
- Mesh base for easy cleanup
- Built-in reflectors add visibility for increased safety
- Easily accepts a cargo bag, cargo net or bungees
- Protected by a highly durable E-coat and carbide black powder coat finish
- Limited lifetime warranty (one-year finish, one-year parts)
Notes:
- Rear-mounted spare tires may interfere with folding feature
- Inside dimensions: 60" x 23-3/4" x 5-1/2"

Just bought one and I think I will reverse bolts on both plates to avoid scratching materials and piercing cargo bags. Make sense, right? You should add this tip in your instructions. Won't be as cute but this will save you some possible frustration from users.

Y’all should upgrade the printing quality of your assembly instructions so the last few steps are visible in detail.
