Wilco Offroad Offset HitchGate Left (Driver)

Wilco Offroad Offset HitchGate Left (Driver Side)

A heavy-duty swing-away spare tire carrier that provides full rear vehicle access while securely carrying oversized tires up to 38 inches.

The Wilco Offroad Offset HitchGate Left is designed for full-size trucks, SUVs, Jeeps, and overland vehicles that require a durable spare tire carrier without sacrificing towing capability. Built around a universal Class III 2-inch hitch receiver design, the Offset HitchGate carries oversized spare tires while maintaining access to your cargo area and preserving valuable ground clearance.

The driver-side swing-out design opens up to 160 degrees, allowing unobstructed access to rear cargo areas, tailgates, truck beds, and storage systems. An integrated Class IV receiver allows continued use of hitch-mounted accessories or towing applications, making the Offset HitchGate one of the most versatile tire carrier systems available.

With integrated Hi-Lift mounting provisions, RotopaX compatibility, upgraded latching systems, and support for tires up to 38 inches, the Offset HitchGate is built for serious overland travel and off-road exploration.
