PRO QUALITY WITH A SHORTER RAILING FOR SWING-GATES AND SPARE TIRES
The PAKMULE Swayback is the rack that started it all. A fully T.I.G. welded beast of a hitch rack, boasting over 12 square feet of cargo space (yes, half the size of a pickup bed)! Made from 100% aluminum, PAKMULE will never rust, weighs a mere 40lbs, and yet is burly enough to handle 650lbs of cargo!
The SwayBack features a lower rail height to fit Jeeps, Broncos, Land Cruisers, and Sprinter Vans.
Featuring the same burly T.I.G. welded quality and huge cargo space as the PAKMULE Pro-Original, but with a lower rail height to accommodate 35″ spare tires, swing open rear doors, and the tailgate on Land Cruisers. Made from 100% aluminum, the PAKMULE SwayBack will never rust, weighs a mere 40lbs, and yet is burly enough to handle 650lbs of cargo!
Our Pro series racks feature a solid aluminum tongue (yes a burly, 2″x2″ solid piece of structural grade aluminum right into the hitch) to handle the toughest loads and the knarliest roads. All Pro series racks are hand welded, and then heat-treated for extra strength right here in Texas.
Everything you need, and nothing you don’t. The pipe frame design of our Pro series units are made for big gear and large loads. They self clean, resist holding dirt or mud, and provide unlimited spots to wrap your MULEstraps around, to ensure your gear doesn’t go anywhere.
Includes our patented anti-wobble connection that bolts your PAKMULE directly to your hitch, keeping everything secure, whether you’re crossing a continent or rambling down some backroad. Pro Series racks also include our Stainless Steel lock for added hitch security. PAKMULE installs into a 2″ square receiver opening. With reducers, the PAKMULE will fit in a 2.5″ receiver hitch. Make sure to get the right pin for your hitch – 2″ Pin (most vehicles with a 2-2.5″ receiver), 3″ Pin (vehicles with a 3″ receiver + new model Rivian R1S and Lexus GX550), 2″ Extended Pin (New Model Lexus GX460, Land Cruiser, Tacoma, and Sequoia).
All PAKMULE Hitch Racks feature a patented design that make it easy to raise SUV lift gates, and drop truck tailgates (in most cases) while loaded down with gear to make accessing all your gear easy.* Otherwise, what’s the point?
Be aware of proximity to exhaust. Heat from vehicle exhaust can damage paint and can melt cargo products loaded. This is primarily a concern on rear-facing exhaust.

The Pakmule Swayback exceeded my expectations for design and production quality. I transformed my Sprinter into a pickup with this creation of welders’ art. It was a pleasure doing business with them. Sincerely,Brian in Colorado

Love the Pakmule Swayback. Fit was perfect on 2018 Wrangler JL with 35″ spare tire. Holds my YETI 160 with plenty of room to spare or cargo carrier with YETI 55. Light weight and sturdy design. Don’t have to worry about using hitch extension anymore with fully loaded YETI 160. Great customer service too! Couldn’t be more pleased with this purchase. Looks great too!

After selling my F150 for a Land Cruiser, I need extra storage for hunting trips. I have owned my Pakmule for almost a year and love it!

I’ve used the Swayback now on a few adventures and couldn’t be happier. It’s low profile enough so it doesn’t interfere with the spare tire on my Jeep JLU Rubicon, or is at home on the back of my RAM truck. I’ve loaded it up with multiple Orion Coolers in a few sizes — a couple Orion 65’s side by side, or you can line up 4 Orion 45’s turned sideways. It’s light and easy to remove and install by one person. Highly recommend.

The swayback is the perfect choice for the new mercedes sprinter.I store our Coleman road trip grille in a 48 gallon Actionpacker and carry it along with a 55 quart bear proof cooler and still have room for camp chairs that store in their own cargo bag.I will be adding more MULEstraps, they also are the toughest I’ve found.

I can’t imagine life without with Pakmule Swayback! It’s a perfect fit for my Rubicon and affords me so much extra cargo space — I put my large cooler and gear on there almost every weekend. It also gives me an comfy, low to the ground place to sit down and put my boots on, rig my rod or ready my gear when out in the field. It’s easy to put on and take off and the light weight allows me to hang it on the garage wall when I’m not using it. Customer service is outstanding as well when I emailed with some questions. Highly recommend.

This is by far the best there is. Hands down the best material, construction and craftsmanship you can find. I wouldn’t pack my gear on anything else!
