Anyone know if the spare tire is secure. The last pick up I owned (Dakota - can’t recall the year) the spare tire was stolen from underneath the truck. I guess they just clipped the cable and ran off with the full size spare. I’m my learned of it missing when I sold the truck and a couple of weeks later the new owner asked me where the spare was.

Hate to lose another spare tire. Is their an aftermarket device that makes it harder to steel?

Thanks for the reply.

I had this same set up on the Dakota. Insert a tool through a hole in the bumper (I believe it was the bumper) and crank the tire down. What the thrives did, and it is common I have heard, is to crawl under the truck and cut the cable. Tire fell down on the ground and off they went.

Does the Ranger system prevent this? I’ll have to take a look at the manual. Truck is supposed to be here 4/17.

Thanks
