Thule Access Passenger Side Swing Away Adapter

The Thule Access Passenger Side Swing-Away Hitch Adapter makes accessing your vehicle’s rear cargo area easier than ever. Designed for adventure vehicles, SUVs, and vehicles with rear-mounted spare tires, this heavy-duty adapter lets you swing your compatible bike rack away from the vehicle for convenient access to your tailgate, trunk, or rear doors.

Built for dependable performance on and off the road, the Thule Access features a rugged steel construction, a secure locking mechanism, and a smooth 100° swing that locks into place when opened. The Access utilizes a tool-free AutoAttach system that makes installation quick and easy, while the integrated anti-wobble technology helps keep your rack stable during travel. Whether you're heading out on a road trip, exploring backroads, or travelling with a motorized RV, the Thule Access adds convenience and versatility to your bike-carrying setup.
