From what I've heard, the best rack for a tailgate is an Atera Strada DL (not the Evo). I've yet to use mine in anger but a trial fit shows my tailgate opening OK with the Strada DL. I suppose you could work out a way of adding storage to that rack instead?
(What I'm getting at is it's the rack that's the issue, I think there are only a couple of Thule options that work OK with the tailgate)
