Mike,
Find one that fit the Vespa weight and size and in the price range that you can afford. Don't go cheap, mid range is probably best. Not an issue as for weight for the carrying the Vespa. I know a several that have mounted the Honda Elite model 250. Depends totally on the type of hitch mounted on the rear of the GMC. Receiver type is the only one that I would use, bumper bolt on is a NOT for usage.

Thanks JR, I agree the hitch mount is the way to go.The Vespa weighs in at ~265 lbs, going with a carrier that will handle 400 to 500 lbs should be more than sufficient to support the scooter.

Thanks again,
Regards,
Mike
