Kyle, I have one of these carriers,although it's not for my dakota.I have
one for the suburban.I love it. Works great.I load it down pretty heavily.It
works best when you can get equal weight on both sides of it/balance it.The
basket is very sturdy,and I've never had a problem with it.The model I have
is made by hidden hitch and is the best one I have found pre-made. I bought
this one, but have built 2 more for my uncle,and several more for other
folks.The ones I build have taller side rails and heavier gauge expanded
metal in the bottom.I also tow with mine that I make.It looks kinda funny
with the basket behind the truck and the little boat behind the
basket.Anyway, I would really reccomend one.If you think you need it, you
do.Just one thing to watch, if you go offroad with it,you must be extremely
careful when going up and down hills,and over obstacles.HTH,

Does anyone have a hitch mounted carrier?
I am talking about ones 'like' these:
http://www.reesehitch.com/cargo_carrier.html
http://www.roadbag.com/cargocarriers/
If so, are they sturdy? Do they provide any decent additional storage
room?
I need to get one, I think, within the next week for a camping trip/hunting
trip at the end of November. This past weekend I was gone for 4 days on a
camping/hunting trip and really could have used some more room to haul/store
some gear. I have a tool box in my Dak, so I guess the room used by this
needs to be "replaced."
