The cargo carrier I recommend for your 2005 Ford Exporter Sport Trac is the Flint Hill Goods 29" x 49" Carrier w/ 60" Ramp - 2" Hitch - 500 lbs # FHG69ZR. This cargo carrier features a 60" long ramp that will make loading and unloading your wheelchair easy.
Made from sturdy aluminum, the # FHG69ZR carrier has a weight capacity of 500 pounds while keeping the carrier's weight at 77 pounds. Keep in mind you will not want to exceed the weight capacity of your trailer hitch or the capacity of your vehicle.
The slats for the floor allow debris and weather to pass through the floor of the carrier rather than building up around your cargo. This cargo carrier has raised side rails that help keep your cargo on the carrier and allow for easy tie-down points when securing the electric wheelchair.
I have attached a review video of the # FHG69ZR for you.
If you need tie-down straps to secure your wheelchair, I recommend the Erickson Re-tractable Ratchet Straps with Push Button Releases # EM34415. These straps keep the excess strap contained within the ratcheting device so you do not need to worry about securing the excess strap. They measure 1 inch wide x 10 feet long and have a working load limit of 400 pounds per strap.
