Hornet Outdoors Receiver Hitch Spare Tire Mounts are the solution for carrying a spare tire for your ATV or UTV without taking up any valuable rack or bed space.
The U-4047 Is a two piece Receiver Hitch Spare Tire Mount that makes it easy to remove your spare for access to your tailgate. It mounts the wheel on a low-profile Curved High Clearance Lower Component to maximize clearance from the ground. .
Unlike trucks and SUVs, ATV and UTV receiver hitches are commonly located beneath the vehicle. The unique angled lower section of our Receiver Hitch Spare Tire Mount extends the receiver hitch beyond the rear of the vehicle and provides plenty of ground clearance in rough terrain.
Includes a Receiver Hitch Pin (for use between the upper and lower components). Additional hitch pins are available here.
Includes a Stabilizer.
See below for ordering notes:
The Angled Round Upper fits most Aftermarket Wheels where additional bolt pattern choices are required.
See images to determine which Style will meet your requirements.
If you would like to see a drawing showing the bolt pattern dimensions for both Styles, click here.
The second dropdown selection is the length.
The U-4047 comes in 2 available lengths. Select from either a 17” lower component or 19”. You will measure the distance from your receiver hitch pin to the back of your bumper or bed to get the correct length. The 17" is most common for ATV's and UTV's with no Bumper and the 19" is the most common if you have a bumper.
