list of cars with full-size spare tires 2023

If you want a proper full‑size spare in 2023, you’re basically shopping in ute and “go anywhere” 4x4 country.

Common culprits include Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger, Isuzu D‑MAX, Mazda BT‑50, Mitsubishi Triton and Nissan Navara—utes that think space‑savers are for prams.

Among wagons and SUVs, look to Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series, LandCruiser 300, Fortuner and Prado (most grades), Nissan Patrol, Isuzu MU‑X, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, Jeep Wrangler, Suzuki Jimny and Land Rover Defender.

Trim levels and wheel sizes can change the spare, so check the spec sheet and the boot well before you hand over cash.

If a car hides a space‑saver, consider a second full‑size wheel for trips, and stash it on a roof rack, tailgate, or anywhere it won’t invade your picnic.
