Question:

I am looking for a hid away hitch for my 2023 Toyota highlander Limited. It has a 20 spare tire. What I am finding on your web page is that the spare tire needs to be 18 or smaller , do you have a hitch that fits my needs?

Expert Reply:

I do have an option for you but in order to fit a full size spare tire you'd have to go with a visible hitch like the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH35VR which is what I recommend using. Unfortunately, the hidden options won't work on models with a full size spare tire as the crosstube comes in contact with the spare tire. The visible crosstube options don't have this issue since the crosstube sits down much lower. If you want to run the hidden hitch you'd need to swap out the full size spare for a standard one and then you could use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e75ZR.
