The Hitchfire Cook Station transforms the back of your vehicle into a functional outdoor kitchen and cargo system. Mounted to any standard 2-inch hitch receiver using the patented dual swing arm, it swings out to give you full tailgate access while keeping your entire setup organized and off the ground.

Built on the Ledge XL platform, the Cook Station features a spacious 38" x 24" surface with a slide-out sink basin and a slide-out single burner stove. This all-in-one design lets you prep food, wash dishes, cook, and store gear in one secure location without spreading equipment across multiple tables or the ground.

The removable side rails allow you to configure the platform for different needs — from full cargo mode to open workspace. Integrated mounting points support straps, hooks, and accessories so you can keep frequently used items within reach.

Because everything mounts to the hitch and swings out of the way, you maintain full access to your tailgate without unloading gear. The system also works with gravity-fed water setups or upgraded electric faucets, giving you flexibility as your needs evolve.

Available in Standard and Ultimate configurations, the Cook Station serves as a strong foundation for building a complete hitch-mounted galley. It pairs naturally with Hitchfire grills and other modular accessories on the same swing arm system. For overlanders and van lifers who want to keep cooking and cargo organized outside the vehicle, this platform delivers practical capability in a compact, travel-ready package.
