Upgrade Your 1992+ Ford Econoline with a Heavy-Duty Spare Tire Mount
When you’re building a dependable Ford Econoline camper or work van, every upgrade should serve a purpose. A solid, accessible spare tire mount often gets overlooked—but it shouldn’t. If you drive a 1992 or newer Ford Econoline, it’s time to stop relying on factory undercarriage tire carriers or flimsy swing-outs. Instead, upgrade to a heavy-duty external mount that’s built for the long haul.
Start with the Basics
First, let’s talk compatibility. Our spare tire mounts fit all 1992+ Ford Econoline vans—E‑150, E‑250, E‑350, and E‑450—plus they offer near-universal fitment for most full-size American cargo vans. Moreover, they adapt to models like the Chevy Express and GMC Savana, since those vans share similar frame and bumper layouts.
To illustrate, check out the 1992+ Ford Econoline Rear Door Tire Rack—this mount bolts to the rear door and supports vans without lift kits
Next, Think About Accessibility
Then, consider where you’ll store your spare. Instead of crawling under your van in mud or snow, you can mount the tire upright at the back. For example, the 1980–2013 Ford Econoline Rear Tire Carrier / Spare Wheel Carrier fastens to the door, handling up to 75 lb with ease
Choose Strength Over Stock
Additionally, strength matters. These aftermarket units boast aircraft-grade aluminum or heavy-duty steel, powder coating, and universal bolt patterns. Again, our Rear Door Tire Rack excels here. Likewise, if you want more rugged support, the 1992+ Dual Swing Rear Bumper adds a swing‑out arm and can handle up to a 35″ tire.
Fitment Across Platforms
Because of their frame- or bumper-mounted design, you can switch vans without starting from scratch. Whether you drive a Ford Econoline today—or switch to a GMC Savana or Chevy Express tomorrow—the mount stays compatible. That includes even cutaway or Class C RV versions of these vans.
Finally, Add Peace of Mind
With a visible, secure spare tire on the rear, you won’t second-guess your next remote adventure. Instead of gambling on roadside assistance, you’ll carry your spare proudly—and access it in seconds. You can even pair the mount with a rear ladder, storage box, or swing-arm bumper for maximum utility.
