Will Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75726 Fit with a Full Size Spare Tire on a 2008 Toyota Highlander
Question:
Will this hitch interfere with the spare tire on a 2008 highlander? If it does are there any other hitches that can be used with this vehicle that dont interfere with the spare tire?

The Draw-Tite trailer hitch, # 75726, will fit your 2008 Toyota Highlander with the factory OEM 19 inch full-size spare tire. There is a special note in the instructions which I have linked for you. The note states that when storing the spare, it is necessary to lift up on the rear edge of the tire to clear the hitch. In other words you will need to get just the right angle to get the spare back up in position, but it all does fit together.
If you plan on doing some towing, I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring, use # 118449. I have included links to the instructions for the wiring as well.
