To determine if the etrailer Cargo Carrier, # e98874, will fit on your 2009 Jeep Wrangler folded up, we will want to take one important measurement. We need to know the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole on your trailer hitch to the rear-most part of your spare tire (see photo).

This measurement can vary depending on your trailer hitch and tire size. For the # e98874 to fit on your Wrangler, this measurement must be less than 9-1/2 inches. The #e 98874 offers the most amount of clearance in the folded up position of any of our cargo carriers. If the spare tire extends further than 9-1/2 inches, then you can still use this cargo carrier, but it cannot be folded up.

I have attached a link to all of our non-folding cargo carriers for you to check out as well if you are not able to use any of our folding cargo carriers.
