Good to see the inflation kits scrapped and a spare back again
![]()
For the 2021 model year, the Ford Escape followed a trend that’s become more prevalent in modern vehicles in general – it ditched its standard spare tire in favor of a repair kit, though the automaker continued to offer the spare as an option. Now, sources familiar with the matter have told that the refreshed 2023 Ford Escape has gained a mini spare tire in a bit of a reversal after the automaker’s decision to nix that item a couple of years ago.
The 2023 Ford Escape now once again comes standard with a mini spare, or a “donut” as it’s otherwise known. In the meantime, the previously-available Tire Inflator and Sealant Kit has been deleted altogether, which marks quite the shift for the crossover as it prepares to launch with revised interior and exterior styling, along with a larger touchscreen and various other changes to boot.
