@TresaKaye, I believe the tire carrier in this discussion was designed to fit the metal tub of the new 320. My issue was created from installing it on the older, deeper tub.
Bought my T@B out of the dealer showroom instead of ordering so I don't know if the full size spare is standard. My money is on @Verna having it right though.
I have seen pictures of 320s with the spare mounted in a basket on the Yakima racks. Based on what I learned by weighing my trailer the weight of the tire should be on the tongue and not the back. Here is a link to the information I posted with data on weighing the trailer.
Thank you for your reply, CrabTab - I'll have hubby take a look at the information you posted. I appreciate all the thought you've put into this, saving us the homework!
Thank you, @Verna - that is helpful to know! We bought the last 320 on the lot at the time, so what we saw was what we got. Glad to hear it's an option, as we have NO mount currently. Do you recall a ballpark price range for the mount and full size spare?
