Will The Draw Tite # 75120 Clear Spare Tire On 2003 Toyota Sienna

Question:

I bought a Curt 13511 straight crossbar, said to be simple bolt on for my Sienna, and had to return it because the spare tire would not fit. Will the curve of the Draw Tite clear the spare and allow spare tire access?

Yes, you will be able to access the spare tire with the Draw-Tite # 75120, on your 2003 Toyota Sienna.

I contacted our representative at Draw Tite, and he informed me that they have not had any issues with part # 75120, fitting the 2003 Toyota Sienna or clearing the spare tire. He informed me that you may want to lower the spare tire to provide easier access when installing the hitch and then raise it back into place. You should not have any issues with part # 75120 clearing the spare tire as long as you are using the OEM spare size.

I have also linked a picture of the Draw Tite # 75120 installed with a spare tire on a 1998 Toyota Sienna.
