Does the hitch interfere with removing and re-installing the spare tire? Thank you.

Expert Reply:

The etrailer Class III, part # e98840 will fit if the spare is the 18 inch full-size spare tire, but not the 19 or 20 inch full-size spare.

It wouldn't change the procedure for installing or removing the temporary spare tire.

If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you might also need the following to complete your towing system:

Trailer wiring harness with 4 pole trailer connector, part # 118628
Ball mount, part # D-4
2 inch trailer ball, part # 63845
1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19260
Locking hitch pin, part # e98882
