Need to carry a spare AT wheel.
Getting my new T6.1 next week and will be converting from 255/45 r18 (27x10) and no spare to 17" rims with AT tires for use in South America. Haven't figured out if I'll go with 235/55 r17 (27.2x9.3) or 245/65 r17 (29.5x9.6). Will need to address speedo if overall diameter gets larger, and pickup a good OBD that can clear faults, but that's for another post...
I don't need a full bike-rack or plan to have additional containers hanging off the back, and like simplicity of the Uber Bus carrier: https://uberbuscomponents.com/product/spare-wheel-carrier/.
The dealer I bought the van from claims he pre-ordered it with heavy duty struts, and that they won't need to be upgraded.
Anyone have experience with these carriers and can provide feedback?
