Question:

It is hard to tell from the video if the hitch will impact the access path for releasing the spare tire. I know the video shows the tire in place, but can you get it up and down with the Toyota supplied tool?

On a 2000 Toyota Tundra Curt trailer hitch # 13184 frames the spare tire and it can be raised and lowered like normal. The hitch will not interfere with the hitch.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

And if you need a trailer wiring connector you can use # 118367 to add a 4-Way flat to the rear of the truck.
