**INSTOCK NOW!
We're excited to finally bring the Owl’s industry-leading quality to the Ford Transit! Introducing the Owl aluminum Tire Carrier for Ford Transit, a must-have for anyone serious about adventure.
Essential Gear for Off-Roading
Just like motorcyclists “dress for the crash, not the ride,” off-roaders know the importance of being prepared. A full-sized, easily accessible spare tire is critical when you’re cutting your own trail or just off the beaten path. Accessing the under-mounted spare can be nearly impossible in difficult terrain for Transit vans, which sit lower to the ground than Sprinters. Our Tire Carrier solves that problem and offers the perfect solution for being trail-ready.
Lightweight & Strong
The new Owl Tire Carrier is stronger and lighter than anything else available. Built entirely from lightweight U.S.-sourced aluminum, the unit weighs just 15lbs, making it the lightest Transit tire carrier in the world. Less weight on your door means better performance, with no compromise on strength.
Easy Installation – No Realignment Required
Unlike other brands, our Tire Carrier doesn’t require door hinge removal or realignment. Our precision-engineered steel brackets make installation quick and hassle-free and preserve your door's factory fit.
Unmatched Durability
We’ve engineered the strongest hinges in the industry by using 3/16" plate steel with welded gussets. This creates a bulletproof mounting solution that’s built to last, even in the toughest conditions.
Details:
- Fits Ford Transit (2015+) (all hinge types)
- Lightweight design, just 15 lbs!
- 3/16" plate steel hinge brackets for unparalleled strength
- No interference with parking sensors on most vans
- Mandrel-bent, all-aluminum construction with TIG welding for superior durability
- Spin-on tire holder with optional lock
- Adjustable for various wheel/tire sizes
- Powder-coated black for a sleek, rugged finish
- Opens with the door, no need for swing-outs or extra bumpers
- Simple installation, requiring only one drilled hole (template included)
Built For The Roughest Terrain
With Owl’s signature craftsmanship, this Tire Carrier is designed to withstand the rigors of off-road use. We use only the highest-quality domestic materials, and our team of master welders ensures that each product meets our exacting standards.
Installation & Shipping
Installation is available at Owl Offroad locations for $300. Alternatively, depending on stock availability, you can pick up your Tire Carrier free of charge at an Owl Installation Center. Due to its size, all shipments are freight.
Billet Aluminum Hinge Brackets: We wanted to make sure this ladder works on any type of hinges (swapping hinges on a Transit is more complicated than on a Sprinter). Therefore we went back to the drawing board and designed a stunning set of all billet machined hinge brackets. These work with all Transit hinge types. For those who don't know much about billet aluminum, it means the brackets were machined down from a solid block of aluminum. This process is much more costly but the end result is massively stronger than other processes. Lastly, they are just drop-dead gorgeous :)
No Door Realignment Necessary: With other company's carriers, you have to fully remove the hinge from the door during installation. This means you have to realign the door when you're finished. This can be a labor-intensive task and easy to get wrong. The new Owl billet brackets do not require removing the hinge therefore your door keeps its factory alignment.
Shipping: Due to the increased length of the Transit Ladder + Tire Carrier and the welded-on lower hoop, all shipments must go freight. If you want to avoid all shipping charges you can pick the ladders up FREE at an Owl Offroad location or have them installed. Pickup at Offroad locations is subject to stocking availability
