The Stowaway2 Spare Tire frame features an extended-length design to offer additional horizontal clearance to accommodate rear-mounted spare tires and ladders. Click here to see which Stowaway2 Cargo Carrier models feature this frame.
Features:
- Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: The Spare Tire frame weighs 23 pounds and features thick-walled steel tubing to maximize box stability.
- Spare Tire Clearance: The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back edge of the box (when it is closed) is 17.5 inches. However, this frame offers a net clearance distance of 11.5 inches from the center of your vehicle’s hitch pin hole to the back edge of the box’s lid when the box is open.
- High-Rise Design: For maximum ground clearance, the Spare Tire frame features a rise that puts the bolting platform 8.5 inches above the bottom of your vehicle’s trailer hitch.
- Bolting Platform: Features four bolting locations for easy-on/easy-off box attachment. Also features front and rear side reinforcements to distribute the weight of your gear.
Additional Information:
- For use on vehicles with a 2" trailer hitch (rated Class III and above).
- The Spare Tire frame is great for use on RVs, SUVs, and vans that feature rear-mounted spare tires.
- If your vehicle’s spare tire extends more than 11.5 inches behind the center of your vehicle’s hitch pin hole, we recommend using our Swingaway frame. The Swingaway frame will accommodate spare tire clearances distances up to 14.25 inches. For more information, please reference the Spare Tire Clearance Guide.
- A hitch pin is included with this frame, which will secure the frame into your vehicle’s hitch. We highly recommend upgrading to a Locking Hitch Pin, which will key-lock your frame to your vehicle’s hitch for maximum security.
- A Hitch Coupling Tightener is included with every Spare Tire frame to reduce side-to-side wobble when the carrier is in use.
- This frame is part #022.7. If you would like to order this frame a la carte (without a box), please click here.
