It sure can. You might need to push the spare a couple of inches toward the front of the vehicle as it's lowered or raised to clear the hitch, but you'll have no problem whatsoever using the spare if need be.

If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # HM11143965 if your Sorento has the factory tow package or # 118583 if it does NOT have the tow package. For a ball mount, use # 2753 and # 19260 for a1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.

I've linked to installation videos for the hitch and the trailer wiring harnesses mentioned above.

There is only one difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C13176 and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver #e98909 that fit your 2020 Chevrolet Colorado, which is the finish. The Curt trailer hitch has a glossy black finish while the etrailer…

Answer 9

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
