Planning to buy a Maverick.

[Blue_Max]

But will a regular, full size wheel and tire fit in the holder for the spare? And if I bought a truck without the spare, would it still have the holder for the tire?

It will not fit, which is why Ford doesn't offer it as an option. There are multiple topics in this forum where people show the modifications they made to get a full-size spare to fit.

I don't know if it comes with the holder or not, but I doubt it.

A full size came with, fits under my 2024

If it's from the factory, it is not truly full size.

I’ll look closer, thanks.
I need to drop it anyway and top it off.

Yes, a regular full size 225/65/17 will fit. I have one right now in the spare space under the bed for my 2023 Hybrid without needing any modification. I removed the Douglas 215/60/17 wheel that came with the truck.

Sounds like an XL with AWD and 4k tow package would be perfect for you. The nice thing is all the Mavericks starting in 2025 now have the same infotainment systems.

Great forum so first of all, thanks. I plan to get a Maverick before July 4 for the “employee pricing”. It will probably be a fairly basic hybrid, AWD, maybe a trailer hitch and not much else. Seems this will come in around $32,000, which sounds like a pretty good deal.

Unless there is something else I really need to get? Please tell me now, before I order it. Thanks.

See how much more to upgrade to an XLT, you get so much more for on a XLT it's worth the cost.

good luck! It seems to hit a nice balance between utility and efficiency. If your needs match what it offers, it's hard not to recommend taking a serious look at one. I was shopping for weathertech https://weathertech.pissedconsumer.com/review.html floor mats recently and ended up reading truck reviews for an hour instead. That's usually how my online browsing goes. Good luck with your decision.

discovered this, 80 miles from the nearest town, up a bad dirt road.. it was a nasty surprise.
As Fibrepunk notes, the tires are 225/65/17, but the 'full size' spare is 215/60/17. That's significantly smaller in diameter than the actual full size tire.

Thank you for that - I complained to my dealer, who gave me a song and dance about how the 225/65 would not fit under the truck, so Ford had to put on the 215/60 on the spare.
I asked about driving 80 miles with different sized tires in front, they did not recommend doing that.

A mantel (ending in "-el") is a shelf or architectural structure framing a fireplace. A mantle (ending in "-le") refers to a cloak, a covering (like a mantle of snow), or the geological layer of the Earth.
