Looks great. I wish the pricing was more transparent. Nothing on the website but a contact email. I'd like to see upfront pricing on the swing and all the accessories.
email them. But the cost is over $1700 for the swing.

@Troy Pepper Total to my door. $ 1181.00 That included the TrailSwing and the Accessory bracket for Jerry can. So far,it has been worth every penny! Best on market for build quality in my opinion.
I think pricing depends on how many accessories you include.
Excellent tutorial, looks simple enough. Thanks guys!
My all time fav accessory on my ascent! Good job dirtcom!
Love the sound every time AJ pulls a wrench! LOL
Awesome video and quality product! Can't wait to get mine! Thanks for this video!
Just ordered mine for my gx460, can’t wait!!
Love it! So well thought out!
AJ, this is a quality product! great video too. keep up the good work.
awesome trail swing and video!
Nice video! Good to talk with AJ on the phone the other day! Great product! 👍
Planning on buying one for my XC90!
Sweet! Great video 💪
Awesome! now i need a 4Runner
I don’t know why I would need all this but I’m going to have to find a reason to buy it cause it is just way too cool!
Great video!
Just ordered my Trail Swing a few weeks ago and waiting on it to be ready. Wish I had known you also sold the table too so I could order them at the same time! Can't wait to get mine on!
How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking ?
Good luck I’m still waiting on mine, trying to get it. I ordered mine with the table and they didn’t send the brackets that I ordered with it.
I want to buy a trail swing now just because this video had an awesome sense of humor with it 😂
Excellent product and tutorial
sweet!
Great video, very straightforward and thorough. Will this model featured in this video be enough for a Tahoe platform? Or do I need the HD version? I tow a 7400lb travel trailer as well, what is the rated tow weight for the receiver on this setup?
y'all should sponsor me with one of those trail swings for my 2017 Trail Hawk. 🤣
I really like your product. I plan on getting it for my the 5th get 4runner. My question is I would like to try to put the back up camera possibly on the license plate. Any specific cameras that you recommend? I don't want to use the bird eye view one. Maybe get the c4 install kid and run it where the plate light wires go?
Raptor liner looks good! Any reason you did that or just liked the look?
Went to your website but didn't see any prices. I currently have a Redrock 4x4 HD tire carrier on my Jeep and have been thinking of an upgrade. I would like to see a Jerry can mount, or at least mounting holes, instead of rotopax.
Looks awesome, but for the price it should come with all the accessories
Is there a propane accessories kit? That’s a dope trail swing
Really want to see this on a Gx460 with the side swinging door... I could bring mine by !!!!! 😎
Check out our Instagram page. We have a video posted on there dedicated to the GX!

Cool video, very informative and easy to follow instructions! Gj! I am sold! Just wondering if the accessory hitch and table can be installed together? And what’s the max weight it can hold? I’m planning on having 2 emtb (120lbs)+33” tires.
1700
Great instructional video AJ! Question… can the license plate holder be flipped so the tab stickers are at the bottom? I know, I live in a goofy state (MN). 🙄
How about mounting the plate to the front of it. :)
I was able to finalize my decision to buy HD swing out but they don't have discount for those :( , I will wait.
Can you fit 2 of the Trail Swing Brackets, one on the left and one on the right so that you can get 2 x rotopax on the sides, leaving room for the frontrunner table?
I just want to carry a cargo box at your higher departure angle. Do you folks make a simple platform from your hitch to install a swing away cargo box. My Class III hitch is only 12 inches from the ground and I'm looking for more clearance. Thank you!
Dope, do you have any in stock right now?
Got mine today, the drop table is different with different holes that don’t line up with the accessory bracket.
Any testing done to see how the tow rating would be affected with this installed?
Will the Trail Swing HD Clear the Right Rear Shackle mount on the Chevy Colorado Bison Bumper? The RiGd system requires it to be cut or removed.
Does the license plate light plug in to the trailer port? Just saw red and black wires so wasn’t sure
Great video I will be ordering one soon. Waiting 60-90 days for my front bumper, LOL Do you have a ETA on build and delivery?
I ordered mine on the week of the 4th of July and just got it today. It's a looong wait but well worth it. I ordered the right swing version and mid way (takes longer because its more popular) and they upgraded the beefiness of the construction to match the HD trail swing It's fantastic!
Do you make the swing to the right instead to the left?
Is there a way to put on my portable grill on there (semi)permanently? So I don't have to put it on and off?
Does this trail swing switch come with license plate bracket and wiring kit included as a whole package?
Will the HD swing fit the Nissan Y62 Patrol? (clear the hatch)
Is there a link to the table accessory? That's something I 100% want
I watched a video on UA-cam about this product having rusting issue even on the early part of usage and not being exposed to road salt. Have you guys addressed that? Maybe a better powder coating?
Hello. We have grown exponentially in the past couple years. We have brought in many upgrades and updates including better powder coating. The parts are properly deburred, acid washed, primered and also powder coated which gives a much more durable finish.
Thinking of getting one. Has anyone had issues with their rear sensors after installing this?
Is there a lock for the spare tire? Don't want anyone jacking my spare rim and ko2.
About a demonstration of the table installation with no trail bracket?
This one look painted gray ? is it delivered this color ??
Regarding the M12 bolts to hold the tire via lug nits, is the spec 1.25 or 1.5 inch? I am adding a locking lug nut. Thanks in advance for the reply!
@Dirtcom
Need an answer to the question above.
Need to have a locking lug to keel the spare from being stolen.
Duh!
Ordered my Trail swing last year still waiting on the table brackets that didn’t come with my order.
The table I received doesn't have the same holes/spaces? Are there updated install instructions?
I can’t find a price for this. How much does it cost and why is it not listed online?
I’m still getting a shake after I got it to 80 ft pounds. I’m using the closest home as well. Are there any clamps your recommend? I think my receiver my be a bit loose, sadly.
That doesn't sound correct. Send us an email trailtech@dirtcomusa.com and we can assist you further!
Is your 4Runner linex'ed?
How is towing with this installed?
You guys still include the Rotopax spacer with the Trail Swing? I received my order yesterday and there was no spacer included in the box. Haven't been able to get ahold of anyone in customer service...
Since this video we have upgraded to a solid billet steel hitch which increased our cost by about $100. In order to keep the final retail price the same we no longer include the rotopax spacer as described on our website
I need that for my 2019 VW Atlas AWD, cost?
Will this work with a gx470
I really want one, but the price almost doubled. Don’t think I can get one.
Does it fit 2019 ram 2500?
Will it fit a Chevy Colorado?
"Considering that I live in Michigan, how well does it hold up against rust?"
Any videos on adding the back--up camera & wiring it up?
Which vehicle do you have

@@wayne959 We recommend the rear camera relocation kit by @Aiden James Customs located here aidenjamescustoms.com/collections/aiden-james-customs-branded-items/products/2010-4runner-backup-camera-relocation
@Dirt Complex what about for the gx460 rear camera?
Hello, I am from Mexico City and I will travel to San Antonio Texas at the beginning of January 2024.
Do you have a dealer in San Antonio, Texas?
I need to buy and have the Hitch, Trail Swing and Ladder installed for the Toyoya Rav Four 2019 hybrid.
Thank you so much.
Mr. Antonio Balderas CDMX
What if you need to still pull a trailer with this on
We use a solid billet of steel for the hitch assembly which was tow rated according to SAE standards to exceed Class 4 - 10,000 lb towing. Other companies will day theirs is tow tested. Ours is actually TOW RATED
I like how he keeps saying it would be a lot easier if you have a friend and someone to help and the camera man just recording
Can we get it in India?
Will this take away towing capabilities?
The Trail Swing itself uses a solid billet of steel for the tow hitch assembly. We have had this tested and tow rated according to SAE standards and it easily passed the Class 4 rating of 10,000lbs. The limiting factor will be your vehicle. The Trail Swing adds 6" of leverage so you will need to keep an eye on your tongue weight. The Tacoma is rated to around 7,000 lbs but I wouldn't go anywhere near that much tow weight with a Tacoma.
Of all the swing-aways i’ve researched, this is the product i’d like to use…. Huge question:
Can this be installed on my Bronco Sport Badlands in a way that maintains the rear camera function?
The price! Nice product but I’ll get a full bumper with duel swings for a few hundred more.
I agree with you.
Which product would that be?
That's going to be significantly more than a few hundred extra, and you're going to be adding another 100+lbs. Not really comparable imo.
How much does it cost
Will one of these fit a f150?
The full size HD will!
Anyone know the price of this product?
How much? Cant find a place to buy it
Email us at dirtcom@mlsalesinc.com with your vehicle details and we'll get you geared up! We're working on a new website that will allow for simple online buying, for now we have a simple process for purchasing. Shoot us an email! dirtcom@mlsalesinc.com
Would this work on a 2023 tesla model Y?
The extended version which fits the Rivian R1T should also fit the Model Y. If you are local to SoCal feel free to send us an email to schedule a test fit
@@DirtComplex I wanted to put a cargo carrier on the tire hinge part anyway you guys can add that?
@juncalantoc8281 yes. If you look on our website the accessory hitch bolts onto the swing arm. So if you put the cargo basket on the accessory hitch it will swing out with the swing arm.
Shouldn’t it swing to the passenger side for safety reasons? Seems swinging to the “street” side is asking for trouble. Of course it wouldn’t matter on a trail but on the road it would be dangerous.
We offer both passenger and driver side swing out to fit your setup. There are plenty of products that swing to the driver such as dual swing outs, or even the door on an FJ cruiser or any door on the driver side of your vehicle. The auto latching hinge adds a layer of safety in case it gets away from you on a hill, it won't swing wildly out 180 degrees.
I have a BMW X5 2009
Is there a link for the HD?
We don't have a video for the HD install yet but check out the photos and details on our website! Dirtcomusa.com
@@DirtComplex I didn’t see the link for the HD version, but I do know thanks
@@DirtComplex I would need a 6 inch extension to clear my truck camper on a 06' Ram 2500. Is this possible? Is there a mod that could be added? If so, I'd order one TODAY! Plz advise. Thanks!
@@ahrzhule The problem with using an extension is it will rattle in your hitch. Does the camper stick out passed the oem bumper?
Looks great but not $2k great.
Look at the detailed instruction sheets w diagrams that Frontrunner included w their table. This is what you need to include w the brackets that you made for installing their table on your TrailSwing!!! ....... So frustrating trying to install the table while palying and replaying and replaying and...... this video on my phone. Include instructions w diagrams (like FrontRunner does)! Also doesn't help when customer has to buy their own fastners for the table install.
I ordered mine 14 weeks ago, still waiting and getting lip services. I hope you guys are not some sort of scammers. If you are really backed up, you should update your lead time, so we can consider options. Man, I hope you guys are not some sort of scams. It may be too long to dispute the charge with my credit card
14 weeks is nothing. I waited 21 weeks for mine and it came completely trashed. It wasn't packaged very well.
No matter how light and easy to install all is $2k too much for those pieces of metal I rather put on top of the rigs.
The video is great but their customer service is terrible. I placed my order back in October and I am still waiting for it. The manager lied to me, after talking to him he said my order was going to be sent out the next day and here I am without my order. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!
I don't know why customer service is so bad with online orders, sign of the times, I guess.
