HT (Horizontal) Series TireGate-Full Size Trucks
Carry an Over Size Spare Tire While Maintaining Your Truck?s Ground Clearance and Bed Space!
This Horizontal TireGate was designed for 5th wheel RV pulling trucks with oversized tires. With our new "Y" Bar Tire Mount and all the off-road durability of our other models, the HT lays the tire flat to the bed of your truck and mounts either inboard for trailer clearance or outboard for increased bed space and, in some cases, extra hitch clearance. In either configuration the HT opens wide for complete truck bed access. This tough carrier allows you to haul up to a 40" tire (currently full size trucks only) while maintaining your truck's ground clearance and bed space. The TireGate is mounted directly into the factory tailgate mount positions with no cutting, drilling, or welding required (on most vehicles) *.
* 1999-2007 Ford F-250/F-350 requires drilling for extra bracing.
MIG welded tubular & monocoque construction ? 2? diameter heavy wall steel tube for strength and durability.
