Had ordered a trail swing HD for my ram 3500 and immediately after placing the order I received notice that a tire swing bumper was headed my way. Contacted dirtcom immediately, and they told me a full refund would be issued, but that it may take a little bit. Well, based on these reviews, I was terrified and didn’t know what else to do. A few weeks went by and I freaked out and put in a case file with PayPal. Long story short I got my money back, including all the taxes and shipping. These guys are probably just very, very busy due to the increasingly high volume of their product being sold. Just be patient is all I can say. They were very nice over the phone each time I called up there. I would absolutely buy one again if needed, but don’t get in a hurry for anything in the over landing market. Everything takes time to get to you.

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.

Worth the Wait – These Guys DeliveredWhen I placed my order, I was told it would take about 3–4 weeks, but it ended up being closer to 5–6. Normally, that might stress me out, but honestly, I wasn’t too worried — I was hoping the product would be something cool. And wow, once it showed up, it totally exceeded my expectations. The build quality is legit. You can tell they’re using real-deal materials and actually care about how it’s made. Everything felt super solid right out of the box — no shortcuts. What stood out just as much was the customer service. For a small business, they really handled things well. Even if they didn’t get back to me the same day, I always heard from them the next — and they kept me in the loop the whole time. They made sure everything was dialed in before shipping, which I appreciated. From what I can tell, the new management is really turning things around — and that’s part of why I wanted to leave this review. Dirtcom is on the right track, and I’m glad I stuck with them.

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.

They recently had a change of management and boy does it make a huge difference. I was never able to get through via calls or email but now they'll actually reach out to me to give me status on my orders! How cool is that!!?? I haven't even got to the part about the trail swing. It's build so well that I won't get any other brands. It's such a solid spare carrier. Love this brand

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.

Q: Do you offer discounts?

A: A: Yes! We offer 8% off for government employees, first responders, and military personnel. At checkout, there’s a Government ID verification section—if you qualify, your discount will be automatically applied.
