Wilco Offroad HitchSwing (Open To Driver)

Wilco Offroad HitchSwing (Open to Driver Side)

Transform your hitch-mounted gear into a fully accessible swing-away system and regain easy access to your cargo area, tailgate, or rear hatch.

The Wilco Offroad Hitchswing is designed for adventurers who rely on hitch-mounted bike racks, cargo carriers, coolers, and gear baskets but are tired of losing access to the rear of their vehicle. By adding a heavy-duty swing-away receiver system, the Hitchswing allows your entire hitch-mounted setup to pivot away from the vehicle with a simple pull of a pin.

Whether you're loading gear for a road trip, grabbing a cooler at the trailhead, or accessing tools on the jobsite, the Hitchswing eliminates the frustration of removing your rack every time you need rear vehicle access.

This version swings open toward the driver side and opens a full 180 degrees for maximum clearance.
