Cargo carriers for Excursion
Anyone have a cargo carrier that they would recommend to mount in the 2" receiver? I've been looking at the Pro Series Hitch Cargo Carrier on E-Trailer.com. Just want to get something solid and no flimsy & cheap. Plus I would like to still be able to open the rear barn doors when the rack is installed.

I have a similar one by Surco of the same size with the fold up hinge. Works great. When it's down, you can still open the barn doors. I added tail/signal lights to it using the 4-pin flat connection. I got mine from etrailer. I fabricated a bit longer center shaft because of my mini van's receiver was recessed in under the bumper and wouldn't fold up. On the Ex, it's fine.
Edit: If your cargo is high enough, it could obstruct the barn doors. Empty, the barn doors clears it.

Wow, thank you everyone for all the quick replies. Looks like I have some good info to get me started. I need to order something in the next couple of days. Pheasant hunting season starts on Sep 30th and I'll like to keep the smelly stuff out on the rack.....
Thanks!
Thanks!

I have one from Northern Tools it has slightly taller sides than most. I think I paid $139 for it about 5-6 years ago.

Apparently mine isn't sold any more, it's similar to this one but mine
doesn't fold. Mine also has red reflectors mounted on it.
