Hi,
I have a 2017 XLT with electric rear door. I don't have a hitch yet but plan to get the dealer one installed which I'm told provides the 'factory look' (I think that means the hitch will come out of the bumper)
Nonetheless, I'm looking for the best recommendations for a flip up cargo basket that when deployed with cargo, will still allow the back door to open without obstruction (if that's even possible).
Also, how realistic is the maximum weight capacity of 50lbs on the factory roof rails? My Thule roof cargo box alone weighs more than that. Am I to believe that this is truly dangerous if I utilize it with maybe an additional 50 lbs of cargo or so?
Thanks!
