In most cases, StowAway2 Swingaway Cargo Carriers will be able to allow pickup truck bed access when the carrier is attached.

To determine whether you will be able to lower the tailgate of your truck when the StowAway2 Cargo Carrier is attached, please measure the horizontal distance from the center of your hitch pin hole backwards to the back edge of the open tailgate. This distance is marked in red in the diagram below.

Our Swingaway models can accommodate an “X Distance” up to 25.5 inches. This distance reflects the maximum clearance that Swingaway carriers offer when swung out to the 90 degree position. Please note your truck’s year, make and model when ordering to ensure a proper fit.

If you are unsure whether one of our carriers will work with your truck and its tailgate, please send an email to info@stowaway2.com with the year, make and model of your truck and the X distance measurement for your vehicle.
