Forgive me this goofy question, but does a 2022 Swift TL have a spare tire?
The story is that we've just bought one, had many problems with this brand new vehicle, had to fix them all myself (at my expense) and are now finally preparing to take our first overnight trip in it.
It's become clear that there is NOT a whole lot of storage in this vehicle .. something we kinda knew before buying it, but didn't think about too much at that time.
Well, now, we're thinking about it, and considering every cubic inch of space.
One of the things that stands out is the great big tool kit for the spare tire. Of COURSE this has to stay, one would think; a flat is possible at any time and you have to be able to change it.
But where's the spare tire?
The Jayco manual is useless; an embarrassment in fact.
And the vehicle didn't come with a RAM manual. I have downloaded a couple of manuals from the RAM site (and others), but none look quite like my vehicle.
Looking under the vehicle as best I can, and using the movie feature of my phone, I can't see anything that looks like a tire in the places the RAM manual suggests. Instead, it seems like there's tanks there of some description.
If the unit doesn't have a spare, I surely don't need a jack and tools, and there's half a cubic foot freed up.
But boy, I want to be sure before leaving the kit behind.
Am I just blind?
