MichaelD Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Just picked up our new 2017 MKC. It has the compact temporary spare tire/wheel (T155/700/17) which I think is better than having fun flats or no spare and inflator kit. But I am considering getting a full size spare. Just wondering whether anyone has done this. I'm assuming it would not fit into the spare area beneath the cargo area, so I'd imagine in would have to be carried on the surface of the cargo area. (One of the reasons I'm considering the full size spare is that I'll be towing a trailer on occasion, and I see the indication in the manual that towing is not permitting with the type of spare that I have.

akirby Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 It won't fit height-wise. You could just raise the height of the cargo floor to compensate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what kind of trailer you will be towing, but I would find a way to mount it on the trailer as opposed to messing up the cargo area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordmantpw Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I just like to think outside the box, aka cargo area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelD Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Thanks for the suggestions regarding a full size spare. Yes, I think I do think I'll keep it in the trailer rather than carrying it in the MKC's cargo area. Appreciate the replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
