Will the Curt Hitch C13201 Allow a 2015 Dodge Journey to Have a Spare Tire Installed as Well
Updated 04/18/2016 | Published 04/17/2016 >
Question:
Would you have to remove the spare tire while having the hitch on? Ive seen where the hitch gets in the way of the spare tire so it appears that you have to choose one or the other to put on your vehicle.

Helpful Expert Reply:
You can have both the spare tire of your 2015 Dodge Journey and the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13201 installed at the same time. If you check out the picture I attached you will see the hitch installed on a similar Journey as yours and you will see that the spare tire fits well with it.
I also attached an install video for you to check out too.
