There is a swing away hitch adapter option for your 2020 Ram ProMaster City. I recommend the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches # Y02483 due to its 250lb weight capacity and ease of use. The Thule # Y02483 also includes a lock system to keep it secured to your vehicle.

To ensure that the Yakima # Y02483 will work with your cargo carrier will also need to have a dedicated 2 inch shank. I included a video review for the Yakima # Y02483 for you to take a look at.

If you still need a cargo carrier I recommend the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # e98874 which has an included anti-rattle hitch pin, an automatic hitch pin alignment stop collar to make reinstalling the cargo carrier a breeze, and has raised side rails to help secure your cargo. You can also add the Thinline Trailer Reflectors # RE15RK for additional visibility. I included a video of the etrailer # e98874 for you to take a look at.
