I have a 2002 Toyota Tundra, with spare tire under bed behind hitch. Does the Hitch Mate need much clearance behind the receiver to work?

Sorry it took so long. Only takes about 3/4 of inch on 2008 chev silverado. All it has to do is clear the tire. Hope this helps.

I have an 02 Tundra SR5 2WD with access cab, it fits fine. If you look at the truck from the side the receiver is lower than the spare tire.See the product pictures from customers below.

Mine is a 2001 tundra and the hitch mate works fine and it has got more than enough clearanceBehind the receiver to work.

I have a Nissan Titan with the spare under the bed. There is plenty of room under my truck and I would assume the same goes for the Tundra.

This unit is installed on a 2013 Ford F150 so I cannot really attest for the functionality on a Tundra however the F150 does have a spare tire behind the bumper and there are no interference issues.

The receiver on my 2008 Toyota Tundra is 2.5". This hitch lock works for my personalized hitch cover to avoid theft. It has a close fit with very little play. However, to tow I use my heavy duty hitch lock.

Mine measures in at whopping 9 7/8" from the ground to the bottom of the hitch (the reciever) with no load at all in the van. The cross tube of the hitch unit is just about 9 1/2".

You would need a 2" hitch and it would depend on the size of any spare tire mounted to the rear

On my truck, 4wd Toyota Tundra it is around 9 feet. Some depends on your hitch height.

sorry not sure but I mounted mine on a 2012 Toyota tundra just behind rear axle driverside in side frame rail in front of spare tire. it is protected from tire splash and mounted to bed bottom support rail without having to drill through bed bottom itself. short electrical supply line . tap in to electric brake wire before trailer plug housing. so I get my power from electric brake main wire. mounted air valve filler in existing hole on bed behind bumper underneath left rear.

My Trailer hitch plug is mounted to the trailer hitch Frame. The Bumper has a cut out for the spare tire lowering rod.

I have the Access Limited tonneau cover installed with the RockyMounts Clutch SD (2 ea) with NO clearance issues. The Access Limited cover also allows for unobstructed use of the sliding tie-downs that come with the factory installed rail system (Tacoma 2005-2015).

I suggest you measure your receiver. You can either get the 2 inch or 1 1/2 inch hitch.

I went to double check. It approximately 4 inches from the end of the hitch receiver to the back of the top tube. I guessed before I purchased it that it might be a close fit but my Honda CRV bumper curves in toward the car and my U-Haul hitch is low (TOO low) so the distance I had to "play with" was better than what I thought.

The hitch fits about 3/4 inch below my bumper and is about 10.5 inches above ground measured from the bottom of the hitch.

Yes, all the hardware needed for installation will be inclosed inside the hitch receiver. Thank you.

It depends on what schedule (thickness) your receiver hitch is. On my 2012 tundra the locking bolt was to short.

Does the Ford have a tire on the back? If yes then might be tricky. Otherwise its all about the right sized receiver hitch.

Quick answer: I have a Tahoe and the hitch does not extend past either side of my truck and sticks out less than 3' from the rear.

I don't remember how wide it can get up to without crawlin underneath my truck. Get on the amazon page and scroll down to the Product Information. Underneath Technical Specification there is a link to the "Installation Instructions". On the last page of the instructions it has what trucks the hitch will work with. I recommend checking that out. If your truck is on there and you haven't made any mods to your rear end it should work perfectly. I hope this helps.

Depends on how recessed your hitch is. On my Avalanche the hitch comes out to just about the edge of the bumper. I have enough room when the bikes are on to just crack the rear gate about 6 to 8 inches before hitting the 1st upright.
