I’ll be replacing the stock Big Bend 225’s with some beefier 235’s or 245’s this fall, including a matching spare.

Thanks to all the info I found here - I’ve replaced my original non-tow package version of the trunk cargo floor cover lid -

with the tow-package equipped version (I found mine on eBay)

That “hump” on the edge of the tow package version is part of what creates the extra room below the cover.

Not the sexiest upgrade, but it alleviates my last concern of going bigger on the tires…

I believe that is also standard on the Badlands trim. It allows for the full size spare. If you’re adding a matching rim, you’ll have to adjust the threaded part of your jack to thread the plastic cap on top of your spare. ?

It ended up costing $300 all in….$180 for the hitch from Summit Racing and $120 for the install. No wiring harness since I also just wanted it for a bike rack and basket. What bike rack you have in mind? I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out which one to get.

also just added some low profile crossbars from Amazon, Curt hitch cover, and lock.

I'll be getting the kuat Sherpa 2.0 if it's any consolation

Yep - I took care of that part when I replaced the donut spare with a full size matching spare of the 225’s ??

Appreciate the heads-up though ??

That’s pretty much the one I have decided to go with as well. Might be a little pricey but seems to be one of the better options.

Love mine. So easy to take on and off the car, secures to the hitch firmly, easy to load bikes.
That’s good to hear. Have you posted any pics with the rack installed on the forum? A quick search only yielded the Transfer and NV models.
