Hello all! Newcomer here - been reading a lot lately since I'm looking to buy my first Ford truck! Since I am such a newbie to Ford's, I expect that I'll be asking some dumb questions and hope you all can keep me straight!
First dumb question - I looked at a 1995 F-150 XLT with the 5.0 V8 yesterday - it has dual tanks and aftermarket dual exhaust. Problem was, the dealer told me the spare had to go in the bed of the truck because there was nowhere to mount the spare underneath. Now surely Ford didn't design a truck with dual tanks and nowhere for the spare...did they? My thought is (and I have to look more closely today when I go for a test drive) that the mount is probably still on there and that the dual exhaust was installed such that you can't install the spare anymore.
Please someone tell me Ford didn't design a truck with no place to mount a spare...
