Review on Surco TF100 Tire Carrier Ford by Jeff Sorensen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Spare wheel rating good for spare wheel carrier

bracket arrived on time in good condition. I installed it after finding a problem. The bracket has a single lever that attaches to the door by drilling two holes in the edge of the door. The other side consists of two levers with yokes that slide over the door hinges, with a bolt holding them in place. The tongue bottom nut that slides on the bottom hinge has a problem. The bolt has been damaged or displaced. I couldn't put the screw in the nut. I ended up using a grinder to remove the nut and used a standard nut and lock washer to mount the unit. In addition, the two screws supplied to attach the tire to the holder were too short. I had to buy two longer bolts for mounting the tire. The rest of the unit worked. I would recommend making the tire mounting bolts an inch longer.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • dull packaging
