The Expedition Tire Carrier is the gold standard for mounting a full-size spare on your Sprinter. Whether you're running oversized tires or want to free up underbody space, this rear-mounted carrier combines form, function, and field-tested durability into one clean system.
Built from high-strength aluminum and powder-coated for longevity, the Expedition Carrier integrates seamlessly with Owl's modular gear ecosystem. It swings smoothly on heavy-duty hinges, keeping access to your rear doors easy, even when loaded up for a long haul.
With room for up to a 37" tire, this carrier is designed to support serious builds and serious travel. It's not just about relocating your spare, it's about upgrading your entire van setup with purpose-built confidence.
- Fits tires up to 33". Larger 35" tires can be added but may require slight modification of the plastic emblem.
- Works with Expedition Handle for mounting accessories
- Does not affect parking sensors
- Stainless Steel Hardware
- Compatible with rear wipers
There are two types of hinges that come on the VS30 MB Sprinter (2019+) vans: 180˚ and 270˚. All Owl rear door products require 180˚ hinges. All Winnebago REVELs, Storytellers, Tiffin GH1, and Thor have the 180˚ hinges.
Look at the attached image. If your hinges have holes, you have the 180˚ hinges (top in the image). If your doors open all the way and fold flat along the side of the van, you have the 270˚ hinges.
