Do you have the factory tow hitch? If so, the rear tray is taller than the non-tow option. The 245/65/17 fits in the stock location

It took a little shove to seat it all the way down but it is fully inflated and doesn't squeak from rubbing while driving so I'm very pleased. I was concerned that I'd have to partially deflate the spare and carry a compact compressor but there was no need.
Thanks for the great feedback. Except you just cost me 1K extra! :cool:

Carry the compressor anyways. Had a flat with my stock Conti’s and the compressor got me to Ford.

That’s a very good point. It’s always better to have and not need, than need and not have.
In the aviation world we admonish pilots to make careful decisions before take off, because it's better to be sitting on the ground wishing you were in the air than to be in the air wishing you were on the ground.

Another piece of the puzzle showed up for this summers adventures. Having a baby adds a lot more to the to the mix of what needs to be packed. I grabbed this 48” rack from 1upUSA. Now I’ll be able to keep a big cooler on the cargo carrier, freeing up a ton of space inside.

I finally bit the bullet and ordered some new tires. I was planning on keeping the stock size (225/65/17) but the tires I wanted in that size were a load range E and I decided to up it to 245's as that size was a load range D. So far I am real happy with the ride and around town my mileage hasn't been impacted in a noticeable way. I ordered 5 and will update this thread when I tackle how to stuff the matching spare into the factory location.

Added the window shades today. I like how tight they fit and they were a very simple install. There we’re a couple sharper edges than I was expecting but overall I’m real happy with them.
