The Curt Hitch # C13073 is compatible with your vehicle and allows a full size spare to be used when in installed. Check out the picture I attached that shows this hitch installed on a vehicle similar to yours and a full size spare underneath the rear of the vehicle.

I attached installation instructions and an installation video for this product for you to check out also.
