The Draw Tite Hitch part # 75091 is confirmed to fit your 2001 Toyota 4Runner and we had a customer write in a review saying that this hitch installs without any interference with the factory spare tire.

The instructions for this product indicate that you might need to position the spare further forward, but that you would be able to retain the spare.

You will be able to keep your spare with this hitch.
