Hi,

I have a '23 Tremor and would like to carry a spare spare tire. I have the not really full size spare already on the undercarriage.

Has anyone else had this thought? Or found a trailer hitch spare tire carrier that swings out of the way so the tailgate can still go down?

I'm heading up the North Fork Rd at Glacier Natl Park, and the Skalkaho Road between Hamilton and Anaconda , MT, this summer.

Thank you,
Mike Douglas

I haven't seen one specifically for our trucks but you could throw a spare in the back and ratchet strap it in if you got the space. That would be my quick fix.

Amazon has a Curt brand one that would work. You could also swap that not so full size spare out for a full size and bypass those popper teeth too.

Most those roads are pretty well paved though, or graded. Are you going to the Bob or what other areas outside of Glacier do you plan on trekking through? I've been down them all maybe I can help you plan. If anything I'd plan on airing down and back up when needed. One thing I never leave without is a compressor.

Thank you. Compressor is a great idea.
