2020 Sequoia TRD Pro Hitch Storage Options

Wife drives a 2020 Sequoia TRD Pro that we will be taking on a family trip this summer. We are a family of 6 or we would be taking the Tundra. We are looking into storage options and have narrowed it down to these two:

Before we pull the trigger, wanted to see if anyone has any experiences with these on a Sequoia or similar vehicle. Wife said roof storage is not an option. My only concern with hitch storage is that the exhaust comes out the back right of the vehicle and could potentially heat up whatever we have back there.
Thoughts?

 

I have an Amazon knock-off of the Curtis hitch basket.
It is heavy relative to an aluminum one.
It may rattle.
And some of the perimeter square tubing has split on the corners from rust or water infiltration and freezing.
It isn't a bad way to hold bikes, ice chests, anything big and bulky.
Just don't overload it over the tongue weight of your hitch and back your brake or turn signals.
