The Hornet Outdoors U-4048 Receiver Hitch Spare Tire Mount offers a reliable and efficient way to carry your spare tire without sacrificing precious cargo space on your ATV or UTV. Designed with durability and convenience in mind, this heavy-duty mount fits any standard 2" receiver hitch, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of utility and recreational vehicles. Built with American steel, the U-4048 is proudly made in the USA, ensuring long-lasting strength and performance on even the toughest trails.
Unlike traditional mounts, the Hornet Outdoors U-4048 positions your spare tire vertically with enhanced clearance, accommodating wheels with deeper insets than the standard U-4047 model. Its uniquely angled lower section extends beyond the rear of your vehicle, offering superior ground clearance to protect your spare tire while navigating rugged terrain, steep inclines, or uneven ground. This innovative design keeps your spare accessible while preventing interference with your tailgate or cargo bed.
Installation and removal are quick and easy thanks to the industry-standard 5/8" hitch pin connection. The mount post and spare tire can be detached in seconds, allowing full access to your UTV bed or tailgate without the need for tools. The included U-4045 Hitch Stabilizer minimizes movement between the mount components, ensuring stability and a rattle-free ride, while maintaining a strong, secure hold. Additional stabilizers and hitch pins are available for added customization and security if desired.
The Hornet Outdoors U-4048 Receiver Hitch Spare Tire Mount comes complete with high-quality galvanized fasteners, including 3/8" bolts, washers, and nuts, designed to withstand the elements and provide corrosion resistance. Most wheels will fit with the included hardware, but optional longer lug bolts are available for specific wheel configurations. The mount is available in two lengths, 17" and 19", to perfectly match your vehicle’s setup—simply measure the distance between your hitch pin hole and the rear of your bumper or bed for proper fitment.
Whether you use your ATV or UTV for work, hunting, or adventure, the Hornet Outdoors U-4048 Receiver Hitch Spare Tire Mount ensures you’re always prepared for the unexpected.
