Küat Announces the Pivot™ XD Hitch Accessory

August 29, 2025

Küat has announced their new Pivot XD, one of the first adaptable swing-away hitch accessories engineered for maximum strength, stability, and versatility.

With a burly 350 lb weight capacity, the Pivot XD is built from heavy-duty steel and features a thick hitch tube and receiver for added durability. A sealed roller ball-bearing pivot mechanism ensures smooth swing action, while the overbuilt, forged handle delivers exceptional rigidity when locked in place with the steel pin.

The Pivot XD swings out to both 90° and 120° positions on the passenger side, making it easier than ever to access the rear of your vehicle; ideal for trucks and van-lifers with a 2-inch hitch. To help keep your gear safe, a security hitch cam system and locking hitch pin are included.

At 68 lbs, this rugged accessory is built to go wherever adventure calls, be it camping, biking, or off-road exploring. With additional mounting accessories launching later, the Pivot XD will offer even more ways to customize your setup.

Modular Accessories for More Adventure Coming Soon:

Küat plans to release two accessory upgrades designed to pair with the Pivot XD. The Accessory Hoop with Molle Panel bolts directly to the Pivot XD, providing versatile mounting options for aftermarket gear, such as fuel packs, recovery boards, jack mounts, and Küat’s shovel mount. For even more off-road utility, the Spare Tire Adapter (offered in three wheel fitments) is designed to integrate directly to the Accessory Hoop, allowing adventurers to carry a spare with confidence.

Like every Küat product, the Pivot XD is backed by the No Worries Limited Warranty, giving customers confidence in both performance and longevity.

“The Pivot XD is for anyone who needs serious hauling capacity without sacrificing convenience or stability,” says Luke Kuschmeader, President at Küat. “It’s our most capable swing-away accessory yet, and we designed it to perform under the toughest conditions.”

Retailing at $798, the Küat Pivot XD will be available later in 2025 through kuat.com and authorized dealers worldwide.
