No matter what you just can't win.īeing inside the car is a huge step forward. You often need the original tool kit bottle jack handle extension to reach and operate the lowering mechanism.īesides even to lower the outside ones there is a ton of shit inside the car covering the access bolt to lower it. A lot of trucks and SUVs are horrible for this too. So now I have to waste the time making a good attempt, otherwise the customer complains to AAA/their road side/our company. In two years of towing I have only had two Dodge Caravans out of many hundreds serviced that I was able to lower the spare. This is still way better and it's just as easy as if it were in the trunk.
The faster you can do your call the better so you can move on to the next. If not that read the manual.Ī lot of tow guys work on commission. Can't find it at first glance? A 15 second Google search will.
This is farrrrr superior to the stupid fucking spares mounted outside the vehicle. Just because something isn't where you expect it to be doesn't make it a bad design. People put shit in their trunks that need to be moved out of the way to access the spare too. These are no different than being in the trunk of a regular car. So, yeah, I dunno why you are bitching OP. Yet they want it to go 150 miles, only have the most basic level of road side assistance and yell in your face about what a rip off a few hundred dollar tow to go 150 miles will cost them. Then they scream at you when you tell them in needs a tow. So you explain to the customer what is happening and why you cant. Or the tire is fucked due to years of neglect and road salt build up. The tires mounted outside the car are always frozen in place. You can pretty much always get the tire out. The way I see it is no matter what, whether it is in the trunk or not Im gonna have to move shit to access it or have the customer do it. I would rather this over the stupid bullshit spare tire on a winch underneath and outsidr the vehicle where it collects and jams up solid due to corrosion. r/Spotted (full vehicles only, no random junkers or car parts)
