Recommended Hitch for 2020 Toyota Highlander with 20 Inch Aluminum Wheel Spare Tire
Question:
I have a 2020 Toyota Highlander LE Plus with a 20 inch spare tire mounted under the vehicle. Which hitch will fit and allow me to leave the spare tire on? Need to carry a bike rack.

I recommend using the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # EH35VR, which will allow you to keep the spare mounted under the vehicle and gives you a 2 inch receiver that's perfect for carrying bikes. The EcoHitch # EH35VR will allow the 20 inch spare to stay installed under the vehicle.
If you don't already have a bike rack that fits in a 2 inch hitch I recommend using the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # Y36FR since it can carry heavier bikes and also comes with a ramp to make getting the bikes loaded up a breeze. In addition to the ease of loading the bikes, the OnRamp comes with an integrated cable lock to secure the bikes to the rack, which is nice if you leave the bikes on the rack frequently.
I've linked some review and installation videos of these parts for you to check out as well.
