All trailer hitches offered for your 2010 Jeep Patriot, shown on the linked page, will install without need to remove your spare tire from under the vehicle. All are also no-drill installations that include all the required mounting hardware. I confirmed with Curt that their hitch # C12255 installs on your vehicle without need to remove the spare.
