Vehicle Fit Series -- Jeep Liberty

Welcome to Round 2 of our Vehicle Fit Series. This time we are tackling the rough-and-tumble Jeep Liberty.

We get questions from Jeep owners all the time: "Can I fit a StowAway2 Cargo Carrier on the back of my Jeep Liberty?"

The Liberty is tricky for two related reasons: 1) It has a rear-mounted spare tire and 2) The tire is mounted very low on the vehicle, almost low enough to cover the hitch.

Good news: there are a few easy ways to ensure that a StowAway2 Cargo Carrier will work with your Jeep Liberty.

The easiest solution? Simply REMOVE your Spare Tire. If you do this, you will be able to select from the entire StowAway2 product catalogue. Even better, if you take off your Spare Tire, all of our Swingaway carriers will allow you to fully access the rear of your vehicle!

Do you NEED your spare tire and the extra store of a StowAway2? We suggest RE-MOUNTING your spare tire higher up on the back of your vehicle (roughly 6 to 9 inches above its factory location). This way your new StowAway2 Cargo Carrier will have plenty of breathing room!

That's all there is to it. Do you have a vehicle that you're trying to fit? Let us know!
