When it comes to strength and weight, the Hitchgate Solo packs a powerful punch. With the same tow rating as its bigger siblings and the capacity to carry a 35-inch tire (on a mid-sized truck), the Solo is ready for whatever the adventure calls for. The Hitchgate Solo was designed to go lean and low on the next adventure while still being prepared. The Hitchgate Solo's reduced weight is perfect for those looking to carry a 35-inch (on a mid-size vehicle) or smaller spare tire, and Rotopax fuel cans.
SUBARU OWNERS: Due to the small hub diameter, some models will require a hole drilled into the wheel plate to allow for a 3rd Lug Bolt to be installed.
SUBARU CROSSTREK: If you're planning on using a Torklift Eco Invisi Hitch, the Solo will *not* work with the stock exhaust system AND body trimming may be required to gain access to hitch pin holes.
SPRINTER VANS WITH DUALLY REAR AXLES: You will need to purchase a wheel adapter plate. Call Wilco Offroad to order.
VEHICLES WITH CLAMSHELL REAR DOORS(LAND CRUISERS, LEXUS LX SERIES, ETC): The Hitchgate Solo High-Clearance DOES NOT work with these vehicles. The lower tailgate portion will come in contact with the base of the Hitchgate due to the low distance between the hitch and tailgate. We recommend the Hitchgate Solo XL, but we highly recommend double checking your measurements before ordering, or feel free to give us a call and we are happy to help.
I bought the Solo XL for my Tundra with too many upgrades to list. Well built. Also picked up the the license plate relocation kit. Works and looks awesome.
I bought the Wilco Off-road Hitchgate SoloXL and it is proving to be everything Wilco advertises it to be. Well built, easy to install and easy to maintain. My main purpose for buying was to add spare tire and occasional additional storage to THOR RIZE campervan built on the Promaster 1500 chassis. The UHG32206-H fits the bill perfectly. Didn’t have to drill holes in the van door and the backup camera is not blocked at all. I did have to relocate the license plate but the add-on plate relocator from Wilco made that a trivial implementation. Great addition to my van, highly recommended.
Q: I have a 2022 jeep gladiator, 3.5 inch lift, 37 inch tires on 17 inch wheels. Wondering what wilco tire carrier would be best for my jeep Answer this question
A: I purchased the ‘heavy duty’ or ‘extra large’ (cant recall name) for my 2012 VW Touareg on 255/55R18 wheels with no lift and its perfect. Looks polished, is very sturdy, and support arm actuates nicely. Highly recommend. I also purchased license plate bracket as the spare wheel in place covers up original plate location. Love it.

Q: I have a 07 Tahoe with a 2-inch receiver, but the hitch is flush with the bumper. Will this cause the mount to rub the paint off the bumper? Answer this question
A: The Hitchgate Solo or SoloXL must only be installed in a Class III or greater 2” hitch assembly. It will not rub.

Q: Will this product work with the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo and not interferere with anything also I noticed there is a hitch reciever opening can I use my Hitch gate with that. Answer this question
A: Do you have a tow hitch receiver that is at least flush with the rear bumper? We've had issues where the hitch receiver is receded under the bumper and the Hitchgates hit the bumper before you can put the locking pin through the hole. If so, the Hitchgate Solo Standard (UHG32130-H) is recommended for midsize vehicles. It goes in the hitch receiver and there's a hitch receiver welded on to all of the Hitchgates to allow you to still tow.

Q: Is it possible to fit this on a Jeep Gladiator with a 37" spare tire? I'm not understanding why this product is only rated for a 35" tire in the description. Answer this question
