The Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier, item # C18151, provides 6 inches of space between the center of the hitch pin hole on the cargo carrier and the platform railing when folded up.

This means that from the center of the hitch pin hole to the farthest out part of the rear bumper or rear mounted spare tire, you must have a measurement of 6 inches or less. Since your vehicle has a rear mounted spare tire you may find that the carrier will not fold completely on your vehicle.

Once you have the above measurement you may be able to select from one of our cargo carriers with a longer distance between the folded carrier and the hitch pin. I have listed several folding cargo carriers that may work on your vehicle, and video reviews of the carriers.

Draw-Tite Hitch Cargo Carrier, item # 6502 measures 7-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of carrier when folded up.
