Swing away cargo carrier that fits with 35s

[devin.roberts1016]

I just got my 2 door bronco and naturally I want to take it on every trip. With the 2 kids, one being only 6 months old and comes with a lot of baby gear, my wife appropriately says "you're joking" and we end up in her car. I'm installing a class III hitch this weekend and I'm curious if anyone has had good success with any cargo carriers, particularly interested in one that can swing out of the way so the rear door can open. I'm indifferent about whether is it's a closed or open carrier.

Here’s another option, you can get a spare tire platform and strap down duffle bags or some waterproof boxes to it. They’re pretty easy to pull off if you ever get a flat and can still be remounted to the flat tire

I've used a cargo carrier hitch tray and a large tub/container for years behind our Durango, for cross country travel and holiday trips. The tail gait door swings up, missing the cargo. With the Bronco out swing gate, this is the challenge. I have also considered the swing out cargo hitch option, and it is doable, yet expensive.

We however went with the roof rack and cargo bins for our last two cross country trips, and it was very convenient. We used 3 MTM Mule containers as luggage, and secured it to the top via ratchet tie-downs and carabiners.

I suggest to consider this option so you can carry more cargo and not have to work around the spare tire and swing out gate issue. I tried the hitch tray with an extender, and still cant access the rear cargo.
