Question:

My 2006 118 wb Dodge Sprinter does not have a step bumper. It does have the spare tire located under the rear bed. Will this hitch allow the spare tire to drop down? I have tried to have hitch installed previously but none were compatible with the spare tire mount.

Expert Reply:

We have two hitch receiver options compatible with your 2006 Dodge Sprinter, however both options do require relocating the spare tire. The compatible hitch receivers are the Curt # 13250 you referenced and the Curt # 14250 which has a higher capacity rating.

You may want to consider the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 which won't allow for trailer towing but will allow for flat towing or use of an accessory like a bike rack or cargo carrier.
