SJ,the cargo rack i'm referring to goes in your reciever at the rear bumper. They come in several styles and materials. Walmart sells them pretty cheap, Lowes has a nice aluminum one. We have one on the rear of our 4x4 van for surffishing. Ours is a 2", i'm pretty sure they make them for the smaller reciever hitch as well. Just make sure you put the reflectors on that come with it. They can be hard to see at night. NTD, good luck to you as well, hope you get it worked out.
