Post Newbie "Towing" Cargo Carrier Question

Hey fellow owners, I hope this message finds you well.

I am looking at buying a cargo carrier for the back of my 2002 Burb 1500. I tried looking for an answer through the forums and the manual but I am such a noob I have no way to be sure. I have zero clue when it comes to towing stuff so I thought I'd ask the experts.

I have a towing hitch on the back of my burb, but this item calls for a 2-inch standard receiver. I'm assuming this is what I have and it's plug and play, but before spending $150 I figured I'd be sure. This is the item I'm looking to buy

Erickson Cargo Carrier with Fencing (in case hyperlinks aren't allowed).

Thanks all appreciate your help!

Weight rating of the carrier is the indicator of it's quality. 500lbs is the max you can put on the trucks hitch receiver so a 500lb one is better than one rated for 300lb. is basically all you need to know other than that it's personal preference to style like fenced or no fence.
Should be a 2'' receiver on the truck just measure it to be sure.
