Question:
I’m interested in this item, would someone be able to tell me if this is compatible with a 2019 ford eco sport? Looking to buy this for my girlfriend as the car doesn’t have space for a spare.

Hey David, thanks for reaching out!
The Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Universal Spare Tire Mount # 6715 doesn't have a specific fit list since it's universal, but I do have a dimensional photo that you can use to see if the 2019 Ford EcoSport has enough clearance for a spare tire.
The tire mount measures 11-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the mounting plate (see attached).This will give you enough clearance for the tire mount to fit, but you'll want to test out it the spare tire will make contact with the EcoSport by holding the tire at a slight backwards angle towards the vehicle about 11-1/2" out from the center of the hitch pin hole.

Hey David, how did your test fit go with the universal spare tire mount on the EcoSport? Did the 11-1/2 inch clearance give you enough room for the spare? Your update could make it easier for others checking fit on smaller SUVs.
