Cargo Carrier Tailgate Clearance
Guide
In most cases, StowAway2 Swing
Away Hitch Mount
Cargo Carriers will allow pickup truck
bed access when the carrier is attached.
To determine if you will be able to lower
the tailgate of your truck when the Cargo Carrier is attached, please measure the
horizontal distance from the center of your hitch
pin hole to the back edge of your open
tailgate. This measurement is marked red in the
diagram below.
Our Swing Away models can accommodate an X
Distance up to 25.5". This distance
reflects the maximum clearance that Swing Away
carriers offer when swung out to the 90 degree
position. Please note your trucks year, make
and model when ordering to ensure a proper fit.
