Product Overview

Enhance the off-road capability and expedition readiness of your Volkswagen Touareg Gen1 7L with a purpose-built spare tire swing out carrier designed for real-world overlanding.

Engineered from high-strength molybdenum steel and finished with a durable powder coating, this tow hitch-mounted system provides a secure and accessible mounting solution for full-size spare tires up to 35 inches. Designed in collaboration with BP Offroad, it delivers the strength, reliability, and functionality required for demanding terrain and long-distance travel.

This system integrates seamlessly with your vehicle’s existing tow hitch, allowing for a clean installation while maintaining rear hatch usability.

Why This Carrier Matters for Touareg 7L Builds

The Gen1 Touareg is a highly capable platform, but once upgraded with larger tires and off-road setups, the factory spare tire location becomes limiting.

A rear-mounted swing out carrier solves multiple issues:

• Frees up underbody space for larger tires
• Improves accessibility during off-road situations
• Supports expedition builds with rooftop tents and gear
• Maintains weight distribution for overland setups

This is an essential upgrade for serious Touareg overland builds.
