For the people suggesting camera relocation, don't think that would work, Autopilot might freak out even recalibrating it with such a huge position difference from where it should be

Yup, I did it. First in the world. This company Wilco Offroad makes the only one that actually works and fits with no modification.

This is great! I would definitely get this even if I weren't off-roading.

Yea think with it obscured the autopilot may not work. This is a great solutionfor a tire carrier but wondering when AP hits the CT if it will be usable with that kind of mount.

It looks like that puts your tow ball about one foot aftward. Just be aware that this will lower the allowable tongue weight and the maximum tow capacity. It also reduces responsiveness when backing the trailer and makes it incrementally less stable at higher speeds.
Offset mounting also solves this issue.

I think it might just clear both, some of the rear view would be showing tire though because it's wide angle.

The guy who wrote this has some issues. Jumped the gun ?. License plate moved, camera moved, departure angle, no issues. It's about what I want, not you. Disrespecting someone the way you did is childish. Are we on the 4th grade playground??? I'm driving on and wishing you the best son. Hope this helps you with whatever is making your life the way it is?

I will spooge something together to lower the tire to the level of the hitch (red circle) or even below, and this should free up the camera (mostly). A cardboard cut-out of the tire should identify the best location. A trailer will not work with the tire in this set-up, but if I am towing, I can put the spare on the trailer.

Hopefully some clever parts manufacturer will figure this solution out first so I can just buy one, rather than make one.

This set up worked great, towing, no need to remive tire towing, bike racks, camera relocation, no kit needed to hitch area, has no effects on FSD or parking assist.

I want one with position offset to the right, can swing down or further right to open the tail gate.

And yes, hitch adapter/extension. CT tow hitch is already tucked too much inside it is like your own tool while taking an ice cold shower. ?

So I might just snag this version for road trips….not as easy as the swing arm, but also not $1,000! I installed the rear view camera system yesterday so the tailgate camera doesnt matter anymore…..I have been kicking around the best way to carry a spare. Don’t love putting in the bed or on the roof….for a $1,000 I would rather add more to that and get the high end whole bumper replacement….but that seems dumb because its still just being attached to the aluminum frame…..
