Does full size spare have TPMS?

[Big_T]

I'm getting a full size spare with the Maverick and was thinking I could do 5 tire rotations on my XL since it has the same wheels. But it appears that the full size spare does not have a TPMS sensor....does anyone know for sure?

The only other vehicle I've had with TPMS and a full size spare was a Toyota FJ Cruiser and the spare had a sensor....people would forget to air up the spare and eventually get a TMPS light.

Nope

That's what I was afraid of. Oh well. I do my own tire rotations and 4 is easier than 5 anyway. LoL

Does any maverick trim have TPMS? A base subaru forester...more roomy...no pickup bed....is better equipped for $25k and 33mph highway...just comparing and saw the base model includes TPMS which I check often.

Thanks.

All new cars, trucks, and SUVs have TPMS, ever since the TREAD Act was passed in 2008.

But kudos to Subaru for doing the same thing everyone else is doing...

TPMS has been a federal requirement for like 13 years.

I’m not sure the “full size spare” is a FULL size spare, I think it’s a touch undersize, but not a donut.

I've driven Subarus over the years, and I've generally enjoyed them. The base Forester ($26,320) is $4830 more than the base Maverick ($21,490), or 22%. I'm not sure that I agree that the Subaru is "better equipped." There are some differences for sure, such as AWD on Subaru, and hybrid on the the Maverick. Every recent car includes TPMS. You could probably make a massive spreadsheet comparing all of the features and differences, then score each feature to determine which is "better equipped. But, at the end of the day, I think that the Maverick is a better fit for me right now. My XL has everything that I want, except I'd prefer a PHEV version. That said, I can certainly see why someone else would choose the Subaru. Both are excellent!

It is a Full Size spare if you ordered any of the Following Configurations:

Hybrid:

Ordering:
Co-Pilot360: Full Size Spare is included
Or you selected the optional Full Size spare for $115

EcoBoost:
you selected the optional Full Size spare for $115

The "full-sized spare" is 215/60R17 compared to 225/65R17 on the other 4 wheels of an XL.

based on that sticker the “full size” spare is 1.3” shorter than the on the ground size, or 4.6%.

not sure how fords AWD system is but I know on a lot of AWD cars thats a big no no.

Okay, I'll bite; HOW can Ford advertise and sell a Full Size Tire that is less than Full Size?
