Great work. Well done.

[@Edyth_Hedd]

Anson, I just found you on Reddit. I've been shopping the Corolla Cross Hybrid, but hate that it doesn't include a spare. Thanks for doing this! It's very impressive work. If I buy the car I will definitely get your kit! (And FUCK Toyota marketing and engineers for failing to do this themselves!)

[@shaun1165]

Very cool! Not in a hurry yet since I still have the 2 year Toyota care road side assistance, but will definitely get it pass that. Thank you for the solution

[@tsw9999]

Great video, Anson!

Very professional video and great job on the the spare tire solution. Do you have a solution for the 2024 Prius limited for the spare tire ?

[@hardhikes]

Thank you! I don’t have a similar addon for the Prius due to not having a Prius to measure. If the Prius has a similar cable lever and bracket, this may work with some adjustments.

I currently have a FULL SIZE spare wheel-tire : 215/65R17.
Measuring the fit -- it appears that this FULL size spare depth will rise above the floor several inches (about 5" or 6-inches}, depending upon the depth-fit of the MOUNT-block.
Still, this retrofit Mount Upgrade would be better than just strapping the full-sized spare to the floor -- since that currently rises a full 10-inches above the floor, and makes the cargo bay mostly unusable.
?? Anyone attempted to mate this retrofit Tire Mount Upgrade with a full-size spare wheel-tire ??
[I travel in rural Saskatchewan often far from assistance : a spare tire is a necessary safety feature.]

This mounting method will fit the full size tire as well, but you’ll need to raise the cargo floor by an extra 3 inches then I show in tue video with a spacer.

"... This mounting method ... the full size tire ... raise the cargo floor by an extra 3 inches ..."
ONLY THREE inches -- that's better than either strap-down choice I've attempted.
Today I've got the FULL size spare standing vertical, against the LHS-sidewall, not bad,
but YOUR MOUNT-BLOCK will be a better option. I'll buy one. THANKs for that quick reply.

[@jicalzad]

does this void any Toyota warranties? Otherwise, this seems like a great solution

[@hardhikes]

No original parts are modified with this kit and it is a no drill/drop in install. It's up to the manufacturer to show that the aftermarket kit caused a problem. To be safe, the kit can be easily removed and the original foam block replaced before bringing the vehicle in for service.

[@intellectracoon]

how about a side mounted spare just like the old Land Cruisers ?

[@hardhikes]

I designed the mount to repurpose the empty space under the cargo area like most sedans and hatchbacks.
I would consider making a side mount if I ever needed to fit a second tire in the back.
