Your Ford Escape Hybrid typically comes with a compact spare tire, which can vary in size based on the year of the vehicle if it's older than 2021. Starting in 2021, Ford, following the lead of other manufacturers, stopped including spare tires in some models and instead provides a "Repair Kit," consisting of a small tire inflator and sealant. If you prefer having a spare tire, you can purchase one separately at a decent price. For example, a Dorman OE Solutions Spare Tire And Jack Tool Kit, part #926-779, is available for around $49 at Advance Auto Parts.
My 2020 hybrid escape didn't come with a spare tire, just a repair kit.
My 2022 Escape Hybrid doesn't come with a spare tire, repair kit, or inflator. It seems like we're out of luck if we have a flat tire because Ford didn't provide us with the necessary tools.
Not all of those vehicles are equipped with a spare tire; in fact, the majority in this area only come with an inflation kit instead.
The Ford Escape Hybrid comes with a spare tire as a standard feature.
