Stolen Spare Tire - Two Questions

[MountainAlive]

Just ordered this lock. https://accessories.ford.com/spare-tire-lock-ramz1a380a

So my 2023 already has the little door flap covering the empty hole. I see this item you linked to has its own door flap thing. I guess it swaps out?

What stinks Ford was supposed to include this but they deleted it prior to January 23 delivery. Boooooooo

Thanks to this forum, I knew everything about Lightning more than my dealer did and the only other Lightnings he had seen before mine was a 22. I told him my truck was missing this and the mobile charger upon delivery and got both later.

It's funny, I initially think "how could I drive around without a spare", but then thinking back to the last truck I had for 10+ years there was one time I went to lower the spare ... only to find that the mechanism had frozen up and I had to go to the dealer to get the tire out and pay for a new cable! (it was a Chev)

Yup.
Not to mention whether it was flat or not due to nobody filling it in 10+ years.

Drop your spare every 6 months, and fill to max sidewall pressure. Cable works, tire is full.

Spares aren’t included on 2024s? Or locks?

I live in San Antonio. About a block from our local PD. Generally a very safe “landlocked” city within SA.

I’ll call the dealer in the AM.

My 2024 has a full-sized spare, but no lock.
