Expert Reply:

Yes, the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, item # 13112, will fit on your 2010 Ford Explorer, with factory 1-1/4 inch hitch. Since your vehicle is equipped with the factory hitch you cannot use both hitches at the same time, damage to the hitch or vehicle would result.

You will reinstall the full size spare tire in the original location, should you find it necessary to remove it, to ease installation of the Curt hitch.
