The Yakima EXO Swing Sway Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Trailer Hitch # Y62VR would work great on your 2013 Chrysler Town and Country and will allow you to open the rear hatch fully. It swings out and away from the rear of the vehicle for unrestricted access to the rear of the vehicle.
Please note that the Yakima EXO # Y62VR requires either a class III or class IV hitch. We carry both class II and class III for your Town and Country, so you will need to verify which type of hitch you have to be able to use this carrier. It also will have its closest part of the cargo box 4-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole. You will need to measure from your hitch pin hole to see if it will clear your bumper.
If you have a class II hitch, you could use a traditional carrier like the 20x47 Reese Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs # 63155. I attached videos of both carriers for you to check out.
