  • Will Draw-Tite Hitch Work With 20 Inch Spare on 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Summit
    Hi Joe; just like the Curt # C96NR, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT42GR does not allow for a 20" spare tire. However, we do have the Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver # BLU46HR. I just reached out to Blue Ox and they said it will accommodate the larger spare. This fits the 2021-2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L so you can install it on your 2021 Summit L. Are you going to use the hitch for towing? If so, you will also need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C27BR....

  • 2022 Acura MDX Hitch Receiver and Spare Tire Space
    I will be happy to clear up the confusion for you. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C22HR you referenced and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # DT42MR will only accommodate the 18" spare on your 2022 Acura MDX.

    Hello Hoan, thanks for reaching out. I double checked with the manufacturer, and they confirmed that yes, the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e27KR will indeed fit the 2025 Honda Pilot Elite. It will be a no drill install and you will not need to cut any of the underbody panels. Keep in mind that the hitch will fit with a mini spare tire stowed under the vehicle but does not fit with a full-size spare. Also, the receiver can interfere with the hands-free liftgate sensor. In most cases, the sensor...

  • Best Hitch for Not Blocking the Kick Sensor on a 2024 Toyota RAV4
    Hey Len! There's only one hitch available for your 2024 Toyota RAV4 hybrid limited that won't interfere with the kick sensor and it is the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite item # DT97YR. Unlike the other options this hitch installs behind your bumper so it doesn't block the sensor. The receiver being removable is also a nice perk because your RAV4 can have an OEM look when you're not towing a trailer or hauling an accessory. For a wiring harness, I recommend the Curt T-Connector item # C56434....
