Folding Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation to Clear Rear Spare 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser
Question:
Hello, Im looking to purchase a trailer-hitch cargo carrier for my FJ cruiser. I am willing to buy a flat one if need be, but I was wondering if you had any folding carriers which would extend far enough to fold up behind my spare tire. The horizontal distance between the hitch pin and the end of the tire is 10. Do you have any products that would work for my vehicle? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
Thanks for getting me the hitch pin to end of spare tire clearance your vehicle has. That makes my job much easier.
The etrailer Cargo Carrier part # e98874 just might work for you. When folded up it has a distance of 9-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest railing of the carrier. Basically you would be 1/2 inch shy of clearance so you may want to verify the measurement you took. Otherwise you'd need to use a hitch extender like # e88YR.
