Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2000 Ford Explorer that Allows Full Size Spare to Be Kept  

Question:

Will this hitch work with the full sized spare tire in the factory location, under the rear cargo area?

I have a hitch solution that will allow you to keep the full sized spare underneath your 2000 Ford Explorer, but the Curt part # C13033 will not allow this. Instead you would need the part # 13540 which is also a confirmed fit for your vehicle but it does allow you to keep the spare.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring you would then want the part # C55345 which is a confirmed fit.
