Hitch for 2021 Dodge Durango with Larger Spare Than 18"

Updated 12/15/2025 | Published 11/08/2024

Question:

Hello i am really want to buy the trailer hitch for my Durango, but what the pictures and videos I’ve seen online, it looks like it only accommodates the Durango with the small spare tires and not the full size. Have you guys verified if it can accommodate a Durango with the full size spare? Thank you

Hello Bryan.

All of our hitches for the 2021 Dodge Durango only fit if the spare tire is 18" or smaller. If you want to get a hitch installed on you Durango like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class IV- 2" # DT38MR and you currently have a larger spare tire than the 18", you can always go to your dealership and pick up a compact spare. That would be the best solution in order to get a hitch on the vehicle.

Hey Bryan, were you able to find a compact spare so you could add the hitch to your Durango? Knowing what setup worked for you could help others trying to fit a full-size spare with their hitch.
