Will The Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Dodge Durango Fit With a 20 Inch Full Size Spare Wheel/Tire
Question:
Does the standard spare tire on this car fit back up into the storage after the receiver hitch is installed? The car has 20 inch tires.

Expert Reply:
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75713 which is a fit for your 2017 Dodge Durango will not allow for a full size 20" spare wheel/tire to be stored under the vehicle while installed. The same will be said for the other hitch option we have for your vehicle part # C13182, which means you cannot install a trailer hitch and retain a full size 20" spare wheel/tire.
In order to still store the spare tire on the vehicle for use when needed you would want to place it on the roof with a roof rack and cargo basket. For a roof rack, I recommend the Yakima JetStream Crossbar System part # Y00426, part # Y28TR, and part # Y06180. For a cargo basket, I recommend the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket part # Y07070-74 with the Spare Tire Carrier for Yakima Roof Cargo Baskets part # Y07076.
I wish I had a better option for you to install a trailer hitch and retain your full size 20" spare wheel/tire. I have attached an install video of the trailer hitch for reference.
