Whether you’re towing a utility trailer, heading out in an RV, or moving a spare wheel for an ATV or UTV, this compact spare tire carrier mounts to a 2-inch receiver and gives you a stable, out-of-the-way place to store a spare wheel.

How does this carrier attach to my vehicle?

The ECOTRIC carrier slides into a standard 2-inch hitch receiver and secures with included mounting hardware. No cutting or drilling is required, and it bolts on for a firm connection that resists shifting while towing.

• Fits 2-inch hitch receivers common on trucks, SUVs, RVs, and trailers
• Includes all necessary bolts and fasteners for assembly
• Bolt-on installation — no special tools beyond basic wrenches
• Stable mounting design minimizes wobble during travel

Will it carry my trailer’s 4, 5 or 6-lug wheel?

Yes — the rack is sized to accept common trailer wheel patterns including 4-, 5-, and 6-lug configurations. The carrier cradle and mounting pattern accommodate typical trailer tire diameters and widths.

• Universal fit for a wide range of trailer wheel sizes
• Cradle supports wheel weight and keeps tire centered
• Works for spare wheels on trailers, ATVs, UTVs, and utility rigs
• Designed to secure wheel without specialized adapters

Can I fold it away or will it block my vehicle doors?

The carrier features an adjustable, foldable mechanism so it can be collapsed close to the vehicle when not carrying a tire. Folding reduces interference with door openings and parking maneuvers while still staying mounted and ready.

• Fold-down design saves space when unused
• Compact profile clears door swing on most vehicles
• Quick to fold or extend with common hand tools
• Locking hardware keeps it in place while folded or deployed

What is the construction and how weather-resistant is it?

The carrier is constructed from steel and finished with a powder-coated surface for corrosion resistance and wear protection. It’s built to withstand road exposure and maintain appearance through regular use.

• Steel construction for strength under load
• Durable powder-coat finish resists rust and scratches
• Engineered for outdoor, long-term mounting on tow vehicles
• Hardware included to keep assembly tight and secure
