The Rola Swinging Enclosed Cargo Carrier is a great complete solution, but quite expensive. I have a friend that has that, but I couldn't justify the cost myself. The StowAway2 Hitch Cargo boxes are also worth a look and have swing away models as well.
Are you looking for just the utility rack or an enclosed box?
Another option if you're a bicyclist is to just get one of the swing away bike racks, and bolt a cargo carrier onto that swing arm. That way you can use it for either bicycles or cargo depending on your trip.
For just basic utility cargo carrier without swing away, I've used the Reese Pro Series Rambler and it functions fine. Just annoying when trying to open tailgate or hatchback if it's loaded up with cooler or tote that interferes with opening.

One thing I would do is come up with a hitch extender that goes up. They ride kinda low loaded. 12 inches higher would be better.
And if loaded blocks your tail lights , I would pick up a set of magnetic tow lights to use with it.
I use it some , but I prefer my utility trailer.
The grandson and I went elk hunting this year and used the cargo carrier. Put the cooler and couple other things on it. Was ok.

Have hauled as much as 2 cow elk at the same time.
No complaints.
I crashed it and bought another.

I got one used many years now. Paid 150.00 for it.

Im kind of thinking the part about the utility trailer will apply for me too.

I have one but don't know the brand. So I'm no help there but I've used it on a few hunts and found it very helpful.Same here. I'll check go look at the brand in a bit. It's been very handy when needed.

If I was going to buy another, it would be a new Aluminum Carrier. Mine is pretty heavy, and you do not gain much in hauling capacity by going with Steel. And the steel ones are heavy to move around.
When packing for deer camp, it is the last thing I pack, and the when I arrive at deer camp, it is the first thing I unpack and remove. I cable lock it to a tree in camp. It just gets in the way in camp, and makes for some very sore shins if left attached :o.
Depending on how low your truck receiver is, it might be beneficial to run a Receiver Extender that goes up a couple inches, as others have said.
