Cargo Net

The CURT MANUFACTURING Cargo Net (18202) is a stretchable elastic net built to hold loose gear in place on a hitch-mounted or roof rack cargo carrier. It measures 43 by 24 inches and stretches to fit carriers up to 60 inches wide, which covers most full-size cargo baskets and rooftop trays. Anyone hauling coolers, duffels, firewood, or odd-shaped loads that won't sit still on the highway will get use out of it. It works the way a bungee and a rope work together, holding a taut surface across whatever you've loaded so nothing shifts or bounces out at speed.

Construction is straightforward and field-proven. The net is woven from elastic netting that stretches over your load, and a series of steel hooks around the perimeter latch directly onto the rails and edges of a CURT cargo carrier. The hooks clasp easily by hand, so you can rig and unrig a load without fighting cold or stiff hardware. As the elastic cords pull tight, they distribute tension across the full 43-by-24-inch footprint, keeping pressure on the cargo rather than on one or two anchor points. The net is finished in black and carries a Limited Lifetime Warranty, with one-year coverage on finish and parts per manufacturer specifications. Shipping weight is about 1 pound, so it stows in a glovebox or door pocket between trips.

Reach for this net any time you're running a loaded carrier on the interstate, a forest road, or a job site where vibration works gear loose. It pairs naturally with a hitch-mounted basket or a rooftop tray, and it's the kind of inexpensive backup worth keeping on hand alongside ratchet straps. If you're outfitting a rig for hauling, look through our cargo bar options and the rest of our exterior components for bed and rack hardware that works with it. For full-bed coverage on a pickup, a tonneau cover handles the longer hauls.
