The 2019 Ford EcoSport is ditching the spare tire to make extra room for storage, a trend more carmakers are following to cater to consumers who value space. While your SUV won't have a spare, it'll come with a tire repair kit containing sealant and a 12-volt compressor to fix minor holes and get you to a tire shop for a replacement. Don't exceed 50 miles on a sealed tire; it's vital to have it properly fixed or replaced for safety.

While driving from St. Louis, MO to Port Orange, FL to visit my daughter and her fiancé for Christmas in 2020, I traveled 1015 miles each way without a spare tire, relying only on a tire sealing kit that cautioned not to exceed 50mph or drive more than 120 miles after use. Ford's decision not to include a spare tire raises concerns about liability if the repair kit fails and there are no open repair shops within 120 miles. Being stranded in the middle of nowhere is a safety risk that should have been considered during the vehicle's design. As my lease is up in February 2022, I will not lease another car like this one. It's unbelievable that a spare tire is not included, and I hope customers are not forced to purchase one, especially on a leased vehicle. It's simply nonsensical and disappointing.

Certainly! Unfortunately, the vehicle does not include a spare tire, but it does offer Roadside Assistance. If the tire inflator kit is not effective, they will tow the vehicle to a dealership for a tire replacement.

I was not informed that my Ecosport did not come with a spare tire, and Ford ended up charging me $500 for a Bridgestone tire that typically costs $230! I have no intention of returning to that dealership. The staff claimed, "We are not obligated to inform you about the lack of a spare tire," but Ford Corporate contradicted this and labeled them as dishonest and overcharging individuals.
