Does TowSmart Hitch for 2017 Dodge Durango Fit with 20 inch Spare
Updated 10/22/2025 | Published 04/06/2025
Question:
I have a 2017 Dodge Durango Citadel with 20 inch wheels. Will this hitch receiver fit around the 20 Inch spare mounted in the normal location? Many of the hitch receivers note that they will not fit with tires larger than 18 inch, the description on this hitch does not note that point. If this hitch receiver does not work, is there another class III that will fit the 2017 Durango Citadel with a 20 inch spare?

Hey William, none of the hitches that fit your 2017 Dodge Durango including the TowSmart # TS56ZR will fit with a spare larger than 18 inches unfortunately. If you really need a hitch best option might be to source a smaller spare from a Dodge dealer.
