You will need to measure the distance from the center of your hitch pin hole to the farthest back part of the vehicle to determine if the 24x60 Cargo Carrier For 2 inch Trailer Hitch Receiver will work on your vehicle. I like to use a 2x4 and put it up against the rear tire and take the measurement straight out form the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the 2x4. If the measurement you come up with is less than 5-1/2 inches then the carrier will work on your vehicle, with the rear mounted spare tire.

This carrier requires 12-3/4 inches from the center hitch pin hole to the carrier platform.

If you need a longer hitch pin hole measurement you could try the etrailer Cargo Carrier, item # e98874, which measures 19-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the carrier platform when in use and 9-1/2 inches when folded and not in use.
