- I've had this Wilco Offroad spare tire carrier for a few months now, and it is time to do a video about it. Every off-roader knows the importance of being able to bring a full size spare tire with you. So in this video I will be reviewing one of them.
The Wilco spare tire carrier can fit up to a 37" tire and can go right into your hitch!!!
I'll show you in the video but the installation is pretty easy, then stick around after to hear my pros and cons of this product.
If you have any questions let me know, hope you enjoyed!!!

I've had the Wilco hitchgate solo "high-clearance" product for about 6 years now. I couldn't be happier with it. Regarding the install, have the wedge piece already bolted (loosely) onto the appendage before inserting into the hitch receiver. Lather the entire thing with a bunch of grease. Then tighten to secure.
I'll give that a try the next time I take it off fir inspection
Thanks men. Looks great
For sure. Still working awesome too. Thank you
About to see if I can make this rack work for my pickup. Because I'd like to keep what bed space I do have after my toolbox. Thanks for the share👍👍✌️
Hope it works out for you. Definitely nice to save the space of a whole tire.
Get a file and file down that bolt a couple of millimeters. Looks like you got plenty threads.
Thanks!! Great idea
It looks great man! I've had my eyes on one for the Subaru.
Thanks!! Does give it a sweet look. And could do a good job making your Subaru look meaner too. It's just great having a place to put the spare.
Why don't you put the pin in the hitch then you don't have to worry about alining the hole
After about 2 or 3 years the hitch receiver on the frame of the vehicle, and at times, related parts attaching the receiver to the frame, will start to develop cracks. The trailer hitch was designed to take linear stresses, the type you'd expect with pulling a trailer.
With the HMTC, you have now introduced a rotational vector that has a substantial amount of weight, vibrations and leverage. The OEM receiver is not designed to take this rotational force.
Thanks for the tip!! I will keep my eye out for..the kraken
Does it rattle when you are off-roading? Thanks
No, not at all.
You just have to flip that bolt lol
That's a damn good idea Brandon. I think I'm stealing it.
Whoa...he nailed it!
What about the license plate ?
So I have not moved mine yet. They do sell a license plate relocation bracket for $55 (I could send you the link if you want).
Or you could probably drill some holes in it and put your license plate on too. But for right now mine is a little blocked.
$1k?? Damn!!😩
Yeah it's a little pricey. But cheaper than a rear bumper
