★★★★★Just picked up my trail swing from the awesome folks at Dirt Complex USA. They were super friendly and helpful and the lead time was shorter then I expected. Love the look and build quality.

Google review
I wanted to leave a quick review of one of my favorite X1 upgrades - the Dirtcom Trail Swing. It's a hitch mounted spare tire holder, that also has the ability to mount a Frontrunner drop-down table, rotopax or a propane tank, and can also carry bikes.
I've been impressed with how sturdy this thing is. It's a bit spendy ($1750 for just the base on sale right now) but I think it's quite a bit sturdier than the competition. Zero creaks or squeaks. We've mounted a Frontrunner table on it that we use for cooking, and a 5 pound propane tank on the optional arm (can also use for rotopax - but I think those are useless...). It makes for a great cooking setup together with a piece of King Starboard mounted on the tailgate. It was a buy once, cry once kind of purchase but I've been super happy with it.Dennis Oldroyd![]()

Dirtcom Trail Swing® – Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What vehicles are compatible with the Trail Swing?
A: Our standard Trail Swing fits most vehicles with a 2" or 3" receiver hitch and adequate ground/tire clearance. Be sure to check rear hatch/tailgate clearance before purchase. Need help confirming fitment? Email us at trailtech@dirtcomusa.com or checkout our fitment guide!
Q: Will it work with my oversized spare tire (e.g., 35”–37”)?
A: Yes! Our HD models are rated for up to 38” tires. Standard units are ideal for 33”–35” setups, depending on weight and accessories.
Q: Is it compatible with OEM or aftermarket bumpers?
A: Yes. The Trail Swing mounts to your hitch receiver, so it works independently of bumper type. However, rear bumper clearance should be considered.
Q: Does the Trail Swing require welding or drilling?
A: No welding or drilling required. The Trail Swing is a fully bolt-on system designed for DIY installation with basic tools.
Q: How long does installation take?
A: On average, install takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on accessories.
Q: Do you provide installation instructions or videos?
A: Yes! Visit our Fitment Guide on the website or check out installation videos on YouTube (@dirtcom). You can also contact us for a digital PDF if needed.
Q: What is the weight capacity of the Trail Swing?
A: Our standard Trail Swing is rated to carry up to 200 lbs off-center. HD versions can support 225+ lbs when properly balanced. For best performance, mount heavier accessories closer to the hinge to reduce stress.
Q: Can I add accessories like tables, gas cans, or bike racks?
A: Absolutely. Our universal accessory hitch and drop-down tables are designed to bolt directly to the swing arm, and the system is compatible with most off-road accessories.
Q: Is the license plate relocation kit included?
A: Yes, every Trail Swing includes a license plate relocation mount with LED light and wiring for proper visibility and compliance.
Q: Does it come with a locking system?
A: The Trail Swing includes a locking pin and anti-wobble hardware to keep the unit secure and reduce movement during travel.
Q: What’s the finish on the Trail Swing?
A: All units are finished with a durable textured black powder coat to resist corrosion and wear.
Q: How should I maintain the swing-out arm and bushings?
A: Periodically inspect the hinge and anti-wobble hardware. We offer a rebuild kit to replace worn components and extend the life of your Trail Swing.
Q: What’s the current lead time for orders?
A: Fabrication lead times vary (typically 4–6 weeks). You’ll receive a tracking number once your order ships via UPS.
Q: Do you ship internationally?
A: At this time, we only ship within the U.S. For special arrangements, please contact us directly.
