Does the Spare Tire on a 2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid fit w/ the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver
Question:
We recently had your company install a Curt class 3 hitch on our 2022 toyota highlander hybrid XLE. We are in the process of changing cars to a 2022 highlander hybrid platinum and would like to just move the hitch over to the new car. One concern is that what i read on your website suggests that if the tire sizes are different, then this hitch may not fit. The XLE had 235/65r18 wheel/tires and the platinum has 235/55r20 wheel/tires. As i look up comparison charts, the 65R is 30.0 inches diameter and the 55r is 30.2 inches diameter. Is this really a concern ? thanks,

I have attached a picture of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C99FR installed on a 2022 Toyota Highlander XLE. This Highlander has the 235/65R/18 wheel and tires. You will be able to see what a tight fit the spare tire has between the hitch receiver and the muffler bracket. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C99FR will fit on the 2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Platinum but you will not be able to mount the larger 235/55R/20 spare tire underneath your vehicle.
