Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Hazel H. ★★★★★

I was worried about rattling on bumpy trails, but the locking pin keeps it rock-solid even after a full day of off-roading. The swing-out mechanism makes accessing my truck bed so much easier than my old carrier.

Madison ★★★★★

Installed it this afternoon and was relieved that the swing‑out mechanism clears my tailgate even with a 33” tire mounted. The locking pin feels solid, and being able to access the trunk without removing the spare is a game‑changer for camping trips.

Carter ★★★★★

Finally, I can actually see out my rear window again with this mounted on the hitch. The swing-away hinge makes accessing the trunk effortless, even with a big 35-inch tire attached. It took maybe 20 minutes to bolt everything on and feels rock-solid on rough trails.
