Question 1

What are the actual dimensions of this product? The listing says 33.5x28x10.5 yet 60x24 was the answer on another posting.

Accepted Answer

The answer saying that the inside dimensions are only 58x19.25 inches is completely inaccurate for this product. The inside dimensions are definitely 60x24 inches - I JUST measured it. Now the corners are rounded so you'll have some unusable space if you are placing squared off items in it, but that makes sense and I imagine one would not be able to play "tetras" perfectly while packing this thing no matter the case.

Question 2

How much weight is it rated to carry?

Accepted Answer

500 lbs is just not accurate. 
I only had 210 lbs and the weight was evenly distributed. 
The Shank between the receiver and the pivot joint twisted like a piece of rope!

This was only the second time that I had used the basket and it was only 4 months old.

WHEN I CALLED CURT ABOUT THE PROBLEM THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE PART UNDER WARRANTY AND STATED THAT I MUST HAVE HAD ALL OF THE WEIGHT ON ONE SIDE! THUS IT WAS NOT USED PROPERLY AND THEY WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY.

WARNNING : THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT FOR CURT RATES A NEGATIVE 10 IF SUCH A RATEING WAS POSSIBLE.

Question 3

Is the measurement 60x24 the inside or outside measurements

Accepted Answer

The usable INSIDE dimensions of the basket are 58" x 19 1/4" x 5 1/2". All other dimensions are outside, including brackets, etc. The shipping weight is 59 pounds.

Question 4

Does this come with the cargo bag?

Accepted Answer

No, it does not come with a cargo bag. I purchased the Apex RBG-04 Extra Large Water Proof bag separate on Amazon. It was about $66 
It fit the Curt basket like a glove. Held luggage for 3 couples for a trip to the cruise ship terminal. We caught heavy rain on the way home, and
nothing had a drop of water inside the cargo bag. I would give both products a Five Star!!!!
