I traded it my 2003 F150 last year and the spare tire never met the pavement once. I did lower it a little once to add air into it before a road trip to Texas.

You pull the pin and it pivots down out of the way.

It's probably the cheapest and quickest cure, but there's always the smart watch option. Google AI says both Apple and Android support the Ford Pass unlock the vehicle option.

Maybe a lanyard she can wear around her neck with her keys attached?

When idiots program the AI we're left dealing with Artificial Idiots.

I'd imagine no matter haw hard one tries some issues wouldn't be fixed unless they've popped up. Off topic rant........... AI's sole purpose is to dumb down societies throughout the world so the overlords can control the populous. AI is being programed by idiots whom can't even see the...

My Father (RIP) didn't drive during my lifetime and I'm 63. I vaguely remember something about when he was in his teens he ran over a little boy whom was playing in the street and had buried himself with the fallen leaves.

They say a photos worth a thousand words, videos must be worth millions? Going by what you said it sounds like you'd have time to make a video as proof of intermittent failure. If you do video it make sure you do some talking, show doors closed, dash panel with no warnings, foot on brake pedal...

I measure my fuel consumption by the mpt method....Months per tank as I don't really drive that much anymore. Bought mid July last year and currently have 1513 miles on my Badlands.

In the stock configuration the scissor jack is mounted underneath the spare tire which is faced valve stem up if my memory serves me correctly. Of course it would depend on what scissor jack you bought in the end. You could also mount the spare stem down if needed. No spade joke included.....

Ouch.....That sucks. Why they don't include it on all models and just adjust the price accordingly is mind boggling. The enclosed area and cover look to be the same on all trim levels. The Badlands trim comes with a full size spare tire so it's doable. I guess the question is how much you want...

Consider yourself lucky you found out before you actually needed one. What's included under the cover of despair when no spare is hiding there?
