Will Draw-Tite Hitch Work With 20 Inch Spare on 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Summit
Question:
I have a 2021 Summit L with 20inch wheels. Will the spare still be able to fit under the vehicle when the dT42GR is installed?

Hi Joe; just like the Curt # C96NR, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT42GR does not allow for a 20" spare tire. However, we do have the Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver # BLU46HR. I just reached out to Blue Ox and they said it will accommodate the larger spare. This fits the 2021-2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L so you can install it on your 2021 Summit L.
Are you going to use the hitch for towing? If so, you will also need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C27BR. This plugs into the connection points behind your tail lights for installation. It will provide you with a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights. For a ball mount, check out the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches # C45534.

Robin, Thanks for the quick response. When I click on the link for the Blue Ox 42, a popup indicates that this won't fit my Cherokee L. Is this the case or does this need to be corrected on you site? Thanks, Joe
