Will the Spare Tire Be Hard to Access After Installation of Curt Hitch on a 2014 Toyota Highlander
Question:
Im looking at a hitch for the Highlander and in one of the pictures shown of the bottom of the vehicle, it looks like the hitch crosses under the path of the spare tire. Are you aware of any issues being able to the spare tire from below the Highlander when needed??

I believe I found the picture you are referring to and have attached to this page. The hitch does somewhat cover the tire portion of the spare, but it really wouldn't be much effort to position the spare around the hitch as you raise or lower it.
We haven't heard anything from any of our customers that would indicate that it would be difficult at all.
