Question:

I read somewhere there may be a problem with a 19inch spare tire with the Curt Class III Round Tube receiver hitch # 13534, but I cant find the reference in your on-line review material. I am ordering for my 2010 Highlander Limited the following: 13534 trailer hitch with a 2inch opening and C56217 trailer wiring kit I do have the 19inch wheels. Will this be a problem in installation?

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Curt Hitch part # 13534 that you referenced has been determined to fit with the full size, 19 inch spare tire. We spoke with our contacts at Curt to confirm this. I have included a link to the installation instructions, a video showing a typical installation, and a picture that shows the hitch installed.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring, use # C56217. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the wiring as well.
