In this guide, we will check if the Ford Explorer has a spare wheel (or a space-saver) or a puncture repair kit, and if so, where it is located. The answer is yes; the vehicle is equipped with a spare tyre, which is useful in case of a puncture that cannot be repaired by simply reinflating with a kit. Open the rear tailgate of the car and fold down the rear seats; the two located in the boot.
