Wilco Offroad HitchSwing LITE
The lightweight, versatile swing-away hitch solution that gives you full rear vehicle access without removing your gear.
The Wilco Offroad HitchSwing LITE is engineered to be one of the lightest, strongest, and most affordable swing-away cargo carrier systems available. Designed for adventurers who regularly use bike racks, cargo baskets, cooler carriers, and other hitch-mounted accessories, the HitchSwing LITE allows your entire setup to swing away from the vehicle in seconds for unrestricted access to your tailgate, rear hatch, or cargo area.
Its reversible design allows installation to swing open toward either the driver side or passenger side, while the adjustable mounting system helps accommodate a wide range of vehicle and bumper configurations. Combined with Wilco's proven WedgeLock anti-wobble system, serviceable pivot design, and rugged powder-coated construction, the HitchSwing LITE delivers dependable performance both on and off the road.
