Choosing the right swing-out hitch carrier can make a big difference in how you travel, how much gear you bring, and how effortlessly you can access your vehicle. Two standout options—UltraSwing® and RambleSwing® Pro—each offer unique advantages depending on your rig setup and adventure style.
Let's break down which product fits best with your needs:
Need to carry a spare tire?
Go with UltraSwing® if: You want to carry up to a 40" spare tire AND be able to add other mounts for fuel, water, recovery gear, etc. Value higher clearance and improved departure angle.
Go with RambleSwing® Pro if: You just need a spare tire mount, don't need higher clearance (improved departure angle), and you're content with a camp table being the only other accessory.
