Front mount trailer hitch mounted spare tire carrier relocates your spare tire to the front of your vehicle. Universal bolt pattern for mounting a variety of tire sizes.by: Craig T03/22/2023
Easy install with 245x75x16 8 lug on my 2500HD Duramax. Hardly notice the angle of the carrier.Glad I had a Draw tite j hook locking hitch pin and receiver.
by: Dan05/10/2023
The hitch appears constructed well, however there are multiple places on the hitch, where the lack of secure packaging while shipping - caused the paint to be rubbed off, exposing the raw metal. This also may have been cused by the other purchased items - "rolling" around in the box during shipping.
Additionally, the manufacturer designed the hitch-mount holes for the suplied 7/16" carriage bolt. 7/16" bolts are the LEAST common bolts/nuts in the industry, so as far as changing out the length or finding replacements is difficult at best. This is very short-sighted by the manufacturer.
Lastly, if you have a rim/spare to be mounted on this hitch, check to see if the lug bolts are recessed (i.e. tapered/conical shaped) - as this could cause a serious problem when trying to mount the spare on the hitch.
I would not buy this product - and in fact, I may be putting mine up for sale, pending the estimate for custom made nuts with a tapered end.

what can i say, i purchased this spare tire carrier to carry the spare tire for my 5th wheel RV, easily installed tire fits the only suggestion would be for longer carriage bolts the bolts supplied may be ample for a standard steel wheel however the bigger RV's have a much thicker wheel rim. the supplied bolts using the lock washer did not leave any bolt threads past the nut.

Bought this to carry a spare tire on the front trailer hitch receiver that I installed on the front of my Ford E-450 motorhome. I am very happy with the quality, finish and fit.
by: Edward09/01/2019
Very nice spare tire mount. I bought this one to go on the back of my Aliner RV. It fits snugly up to the back without hitting anything and doesn't protrude out too far. Very sturdy construction. Hardware included to mount the spare tire. I purchased a 5/8" x 3" bolt, flat washer and nuts to permanently attach the mount to the hitch. The job turned out very nice; it looks like it was professionally done.

I did NOT use this product as was intended, I have used it for the last year as a spare tire mount on the front of my work van, it has been on there and driven every day through any weather and has held up very well, it still looks and performs the same as it did when new.
by: Mathew05/03/2023
Fits as expected. I added a hitch tightened to cut down on wobbling or bouncing. I installed a wheel spacer to the carrier since this seems to be designed for a steel wheel and the fasteners would not hold my aluminum wheel without causing some cosmetic damage.
by: Russ09/22/2023
You should rethink the bolt fasteners
by: Dave06/12/2020
Product is almost perfect for my application. However, the supplied bolts are about 1/2 inch to short and they are not a size your local hardware store carries. They are 7/16 inch. I can get only 3/8 or 1/2 bolts locally.

Accomplished exactly what I needed! Great service from etrailer.

Hitch mount spare tire carrier works great, used for many miles with no issues. Easy on and off. All purchases have been good quality.

Very happy with spare carrier,works well
by: Rob C.05/03/2017
As usual the product arrived promptly and in good condition. Due to my large wheels and tires I needed to build a spacer to go between the wheel and the mount but overall it is great, solid and will provide adequate storage for a second spare, especially since the camper would have to be removed to access the factory mounted spare. I recommend a good hitch tightener (available from etrailer) to prevent movement but that is a factor of the system, not the product.
by: Mike H05/01/2020
Very rugged construction. Carried heavy spare to the top of Alaska with no issues.
by: Tristan02/26/2021
I like the flexibility of this product -- good for carrying an extra trailer spare. Nice that it comes with bolt retainers. A little wiggly in my front receiver, but not enough that I have bothered to shim it. I would like to get a couple more for my other trailer tire sizes.
by: William08/07/2021
Received the Universal Spare Tire Carrier yesterday. It is exactly what I expected and will work perfectly for my Class B motorhome. Once I receive the balance of my order (Yakima Backwing) I will be set.
Thank you etrailer.
by: Michael03/18/2019
This tire carrier really worked well for my application. 27x8.5x14 all terrain tire fit easily. Currently it is mounted on the rear receiver with no issues. Would recommend getting the anti-rattle hitch pin kit also.
by: Bill S.05/27/2015
Well we searched for quite awhile, returned a "universal spare tire carrier" from another site that didn't hold our 75# deep dish rimmed spare tire for our class C motorhome and finally came across this one. We were able to mount the tire but not with the deep dish toward the carrier, but it fits fine the other way. We have yet to leave the driveway but feel good about the purchase, looks like we can safely leave for Alaska with a spare tire on board!!
by: Thomas 08/12/2023
Great part and service
by: Mike06/07/2016
Well Made , 7/16 Bolts Should Be Replaced With 1/2 x 2" Bolts. Bolt Retainer Threaded Clips Are Junk. The Bolts Should Be Welded In Place For Your Bolt Pattern. Make One With A 90deg. Head So It Fits Inside A 16" Bud Wheel. Tire Sit's Straight Up & Down Not On A Angle.
by: David M09/20/2020
The quality is fine. It will not fit my 295, 70,R 17 onto my front receiver hitch. Thankfully I have a welder. Im sure it will work great for many smaller tires.
by: Ivan02/14/2020
i ordered This Item, The Sales people are vary knowledgable, Courteous ,the product arrived quick and Packaged correctly, installation was a snap as i ordered the front receiver part also earlier ,The product fit my Toyota Tundra as intended, after i installed my Spare tier on the tier carrier no one damages my front and bumper or grill on my truck as the street i Park is vary Busy all the time as lots of restaurants near by,This product just solved my entire problem as people Pay attention how they parallel park without bumping in to my Truck, it is a total lifesaver. I highly recommended.
by: Mike01/30/2018
I haven't yet installed the product but I did want to comment on the service--Outstanding! My order was processed promptly and shipped quickly. I received an email notifying me of the shipment and tracking information and a follow up after delivery to make sure all was well. Frankly, I was surprised. It seems as we move more and more towards e-commerce, the service-after-the-sale has been diminishing. Kudos to etrailer.com and George J. for demonstrating that some companies are still customer service focused. Great job and thanks much! I will be a return customer.
by: Steve11/11/2019
I received this item today and mounted it on my truck. This comes with 3 bolts to mount the wheel to the mounting bracket. Only one of the nuts was machined properly. I had to go to Lowe’s and buy 2 new nuts in order to mount the wheel.
by: Gary 07/26/2022
If it was just a bit tighter in the reciever it would be perfect! But what is perfect!

view full answer... - Does Draw-Tite Universal Trailer Hitch Spare Tire Carrier Hold the Spare Tire at an AngleWhen a tire is attached to the universal spare tire carrier, # 6715, the tire will be at a slight angle; maybe 10 degrees off from a straight up and down 90 degrees. The top of the tire will be slightly closer to the vehicle than the bottom like in the picture I have included.

view full answer... - What Size Nut Is Used To Secure Spare Tire To Draw-Tite Front Mount Spare Tire Carrier 6715?The Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Universal Spare Tire Carrier # 6715 you were looking at does not use standard lug nuts, and needs to use the included washers, and nuts. The bolts included with the hitch are 7/16-14 grade 5 bolts, so your M12-1.5 lug nuts will not fit. I included a video of the # 6715 for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Does Draw Tite Hitch Spare Tire carrier part # 6715 Include Hardware for Mounting Wheel to CarrierThe Draw Tite Hitch Spare Tire carrier part # 6715 does include hardware for securing the wheel to the mounting surface. If you check out the review video I attached you can see the nuts and bolts laid out on the table. You may also want the locking hitch pin part # 63232 which also is an anti-rattle device that will take out all of the movement between the hitch and the rack. I attached a review video for this as well.
view full answer... - Why Does Front Mount Spare Tire Carrier # 6715 Have Lower Weight Capacity than Trailer HitchThe Front Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # 6715 that you referenced is designed to mount to a front hitch like the Draw-Tite # 65028 that you also mentioned, so both components are going to have their own weight capacity. It's important to keep in mind that with any type of setup, you will always be limited by your weakest component. So since the Spare Tire Carrier itself can only handle up to 100 pounds, you will need to adhere to this limit when mounting the tire (even though the trailer...

I have included the installation details for you to review. Anytime you place something in front of the grille on your Ram truck, such as a spare tire when using a front mounted spare tire carrier like the Draw-Tite # 6715, it is going to have some kind of effect on the airflow and vehicle cooling system.

Usually on trailers the spare tire is carried on the frame. I have included a link to the frame mount spare tire carriers that we offer. The most popular is # FSTC1000301 for 4- and 5-lug wheels and up to 3 x 4 inch frames.
view full answer... - Recommended Solution to Reduce Movement of Draw-Tite Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Spare Tire CarrierIn order to reduce the sway/flopping/movement of the spare tire carrier on your Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Universal Spare Tire Carrier # 6715 I recommend using the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2" Trailer Hitches # RM-061. This hitch immobilizer keeps hitch-mounted accessories stable and secure. As you tighten the Quiet Hitch, the shank of your accessory will be pulled down towards the bottom of the receiver opening, thus securing it in place within the tube.
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier Options for Trailer With Large FrameWe have a number of different options that may allow you to carry a spare tire, but nothing that is designed to fit a frame that is 4" wide x 6" tall. The best option may be the Rack'em Spare Tire Rack for Enclosed Trailers # RA-16. This is for enclosed trailers but may work for you if you have the space. I have added a link to a video review I recommend checking out. The other option isn't on your trailer but would be if your tow vehicle had a front-mounted hitch; you would then be able...
view full answer... - Looking for a Front Hitch to fit 2000 Chevy SilveradoI do have a front mounted hitch that will fit your 2000 Chevy Silverado, though the Draw-Tite Front Mount Receiver, # 65028, is not a fit for your truck. What you would need is the Curt Front Mount Receiver, # 31302, which is confirmed to work with your vehicle. The Draw-Tite Universal Spare Tire Carrier, # 6715, would be a great choice, fitting into the two-inch receiver that the Curt offers. I have attached links to video reviews of each product for you to take a look at.

I spoke with my contact at Roadmaster and he did state that you can indeed use the 2 inch receiver to pull a tow dolly as long as you remain under carrier's 400 pound tongue weight capacity. Also keep in mind that using this spare tire carrier will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 33 percent. So you will not only...

If you have the larger 6 on 205 mm bolt pattern which can be found on the 3500 models then the Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Universal Spare Tire Carrier part # 6715 cannot be used because the slots will not span the distance between the lug nut holes it needs to attach to on your wheel.

view full answer... - What About Draw Tite Front Hitch Spare Carrier # 6715 Makes it for Front HitchThe reason the Front Mounted Spare Carrier part # 6715 is designated for the front of a vehicle is because of the angle of the mounting bracket being vertical instead of kicked back. It technically could be used in a rear hitch as well. Other than that it's pretty similar to the Curt # C31006 which is for a rear hitch.
