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.

My Pakmule Swayback that I ordered for our 2005 4X4 Jeep Liberty is exceptional! I used to install it and use it and then take it off. But it is so versatile, that I leave it on all of the time now! It carries everything we need for the beach and more! The quality of the product is first class and the people at Pakmule are very friendly, courteous and professional. I am a Pakmule customer for life!

The original Pakmule for our 2008 Ford Expedition EL is the best cargo rack on the market. We do not need to leave anything behind anymore; everything fits in the Expedition and on the Pakmule. We are enjoying our camping and hunting trips immensely; we are now real pro’s at loading and unloading at our remote destinations. Week end trips are more and more routine for us with the Pakmule!

Just back from a trip to Venice La. fishing and the Pakmule was excellent on a f250 truck… you still need extra room for a big ice box etc.
I own two jeeps , gx460 car and a motor home that clear the swayback…no rattle, no leaning… great product..I have racks of steel on two Polaris rangers which work great but are heavy and need wire brushing and painting yearly..Pakmule is a little too pricey but the best has never been the cheapest for a lifetime product… thanks

I bought mine two years ago. It’s kind of pricy but you get what you pay for. It’s we’ll worth the extra dollars for a high quality, light, and solid rack.

Purchased the Pakmule Swayback about a year ago and the fit was perfect for my 2017 Sprinter 144 4 x 4. Solid construction! It allows me to pack additional camping equipment without giving-up space in the van. After many trips to the mountains, desert, and the PNW it still functions and looks like new. Highly recommend!!

The Pakmule Swayback is a perfect addition to my LC200. The design and build quality are immediately apparent and its big enough to substitute as an aircraft carrier deck.

Love my Sway-Back!

Bought mine from a local dealer and was very impressed with the build quality of the rack, as well as the little swag bag that was included. Sticker and a neoprene koozie! Looking forward to this thing outliving me.

Fit and finish is beautiful. Low profile SwayBack works as intended with LC200. My wife and I are extremely pleased we stumbled upon your product, it checked all the boxes for our particular needs.

Just got the swayback delivered today. I am very impressed with the craftsmanship. Can’t wait to take it camping.
