Hitch Cargo Basket Bags & Side Rails

Check the manufacturer’s exact protection claim instead of assuming every hitch cargo bag is fully waterproof. The current CURT bags are described as highly weather-resistant, with welded seams and a covered zipper designed to help keep contents dry. For electronics, bedding, or other water-sensitive gear, use sealed inner protection and follow product loading and closure instructions. Protection varies by model.

Measure the usable inside length and width of the hitch cargo carrier, then compare those dimensions with the bag’s footprint before choosing capacity. A soft-sided bag can flex, but it still needs to sit securely with its tiedown straps attached to the carrier frame. If two bags fit, use cubic-foot capacity and cargo height to choose. Check exact dimensions before ordering.
