Stolen Spare Tire - Two Questions

[21st Century Truck]

Thanks. Now that I know this is a thing I’ll be installing the lock in the access point and installing a combo lock. Seems like overkill but I think this may be a future issue for F150 owners that want a spare if the newer models are coming with it optionally.

FYI I did the same (got a full size spare wheel on EBay, used an extra full-use tire I had) and when ordering the lock, I made sure the dealership service techs ordered the one that they then keyed to my fob's skeleton key. There are two lock versions (i.e. two distinct part numbers), one with a separate new key and other one they can repin to match your center-cut key, and I wasn't about to have a loose unique key rolling around to then get lost.

In this related thread below, about halfway down, member AMinorJourney lists the two separate part numbers for the two versions of the lock (with a new key, and with Your key):

My 2024 Lightning Flash came with a spare. It is not listed on the window sticker as either standard equipment or as an included option.
