Can I Retain Spare Tire on 2013 Mini Cooper Coupe with Curt Trailer Hitch  

Question:

2013 Mini Cooper Coupe with single exhaust, I have the factory spare tire under the rear. Will this hitch require the tire to be removed or can I retain it? If it is retained, when needed, can the spare be removed with the hitch in place?

Expert Reply:

I spoke with my contact at Curt and he said Curt trailer hitch, part # C11272, will allow you to retain your spare tire under your 2013 Mini Cooper Couple with single exhaust. The spare can be removed with the hitch in place.

Curt does require the use of Support Straps, # 18050, for all non-trailer loads including bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt.

If you plan to do some light towing you may also be interested in the following parts:
