Look at Etrailers.com they are all almost identical. The design can't really vary at all because of the confinements. It has to bolt to the same 3 bolts and the center of the hitch has to be, well, center. Any small differences are going to be negligible.

The cargo carriers are flat and when slid into the hitch will be bumper level, not even close to the tail lights at all. Not to mention they aren't that wide either. You'd have to pile stuff up REAL HIGH to even come close to blocking the lights.

After speaking with some people I am just going to make my own cargo carrier. Spending $130 for a simple flat panel with a 1 1/4" square tube attached to it is insane. Not to mention something that I will likely only use one time. So I will get my own square tubing, some angle iron, and plywood and bolt together something the exact size I need. I'll try to remember to post pics. I will be buying the hitch though $90 is fair to me.
