I had to rent a trailer yesterday to transport a king size bed frame. I have a drop hitch, but I opted to bring my hitch that comes straight out with three different size balls (see pic) since I didn’t know the size U-haul uses. When the U-haul employee tried to hook up the trailer, there was not enough room between the ball and the bottom of the spare tire for the trailer coupler to connect. For reference: I have stock JLUR tires, stock towing package, and a Mopar tailgate reinforcement.
I was thinking I would have to take the spare tire off to attach the coupler. The quick thinking employee simply told me to open my tailgate. This moved the spare tire out of the way and allowed the trailer to be connected. He claimed he hadn’t seen it before and just problem solved ( a lot quicker than me). Anyway, I thought I would share in case anyone out there finds themselves in a similar situation.
