I just installed the OEM over the weekend. Looks sharp!

I just bought a 2007 and installed 265/70R17 tires. The spare was a tight fit underneath.

Does anybody know if I will have trouble with either hitch (pintle or full) and a 265/70R17 spare?

Thanks,

I've got a 265/70/17 spare under mine, with the factory receiver hitch (full).

Thanks,

What does the factory look like. I am wondering if the one I have is factory?

Get the frame mounted hitch if at all possible. It was a snap to install and will be a lot easier on the prime mover and driver than the other model. I am waiting on my electric brake controller and then this thing will be very helpful for moving my toys.
