I was searching the forum and came across some comments in posts about the rear swing gate, and the ability to hold a 35” tire. That’s a lot of weight on a couple hinges when it’s open.
Anyone who has their Bronco already have any comments on this? I know it’s early days, and I have to imagine Ford taking these things through the Off Rodeo events and hard-core off road settings these would have been tested very thoroughly, but it’s one part of the vehicle I’m concerned on. How’s the stability of that rear swing gate when it’s open?
Full disclosure: I’ve never owned a vehicle with a rear-cargo door mounted spare tire. I’m not sure how the Jeeps hold up, if there is a modification/aftermarket solution to increase durability, etc. Maybe some Jeep folks on here can comment on this from their own experience/current vehicle (especially if it has a 35” spare tire).
I welcome any feedback/comments on this!
