FS-Wilco Hitchgate with LP relocation- $650- WNC LOCAL ONLY

FOR SALE | NC | $650

Hitchgate Tire Carrier with the offset mount and license plate relocation kit.
I purchased this Wilco Hitchgate to increase my rear clearance for a month long road trip to offroad in Colorado. It helped give me a bunch of extra clearance in the rear and helped me complete Engineer Pass and Imogene Pass and also saved my rear bumper several times when I hit angles that were too extreme. Worked like a champ.

The thing is built like a tank, is wobble-free due to their cool mounting design, can tow up to 7600 pounds using the pass through 2" hitch mount. All in all, it's an awesome solution for people that don't want to add a full-time plate rear bumper with a tire carrier.

Now that the adventure is over I am selling it since I will not need it for driving around town or down forest roads here in WNC.

Here is the listing for the exact model I am selling. I paid $1117 to get the Hitchgate (including the $150 shipping)

Hitchgate: https://www.wilcooffroad.com/shop/hitchgate-offset/

Also included is the License Plate Relocation Kit https://www.wilcooffroad.com/shop/license-plate-relocation-kit/

The tire carrier is part of a system that you can add-on separately. They have 2 different Hi-Lift mounting options and a Jerry Can Mounting Kit.

Anyway, it is in perfect condition except for a scrapes on the bottom side from ground contact. They are pretty minimal. A little black paint maintenance is all that is needed.

Selling in the WNC area only. It weighs 100# and packaging it for shipment would be a HUGE pain in the ass.

Still have this Wilco Hitchgate

Got busy and disappeared for a while. I still have this available in the Asheville, NC area.
 
If you will consider shipping let me know. I can cover shipping

I wish I could but it would be a really huge pain in the ass to ship. When I received it from Wilco it was in 2 massive boxes and they had used spray foam to protect it and hold it in place. Was pretty awesome actually but for me to repack in a way that would actually get to you would be really time consuming.
 
UPDATE- Still have the Wilco Hitchgate ($650)

Spring is almost here so I am bumping this thread. $650 pickup in WNC / Asheville area.
 
I'm in Cali, so not going to make the drive, but have a question about the product and hope you can share some experience.

I'm looking to find a solution for a full size spare, as my 4runner is my DD a full rear bumper isn't super practical. I've been looking at the Wilco as a possible alternative. How does the product handle taking it on and off for just off roading? Is it easy? Heavy (without the wheel/tire)?
Overall review of the product / would you buy again etc?

Thanks in advance for any info and advice you can provide.

If I was going to do any serious offroading I 100% would buy it again for two reasons: 1/ It got my spare out from under the car. That alone would have gotten us stuck more than once, and 2/ It saved my rear bumper from being ripped off the car 3 times.

The thing I loved about it is that once we got home from Colorado I could just take it off. It is a perfect solution for a weekend warrior that wants a normal car the rest of the time.

Awesome. Thanks for the details. You just convinced me right there and deserve a commission. Hopefully I can find one used from checking around and just giving them some time to come on the market.

Thanks again and hope you're able to sell yours soon.
 
Seriously interested in hitchgate

hey man - been looking for this for a while. I'm interested - live in North Ga. - is it still for sale?
 
Hitchgate is still available

I had a couple of almost-solds but they didn't work out for one reason or another. Anyway, spring is almost here and if you need rear-end protection or want your spare out from under your 4-Runner you should jump on this deal. Still $650, no shipping, Western NC region.

Cheers.
