Rover Vans Tire Carrier + Ladder for Ford Transit

Upgrade your Ford Transit with the Rover Vans Tire Carrier + Ladder, engineered for strength, everyday usability, and years of real-world adventure. Built from lightweight aluminum, the system securely carries a full-size spare tire while providing convenient roof access in a clean, low-profile design made specifically for your van.

Designed for Real-World Adventure

As van people ourselves, we know how valuable interior space is. Every inch matters when you’re carrying camping gear, bikes, tools, food, and everything else that comes along for the trip.

That’s why we designed the Rover Vans Tire Carrier + Ladder to move your spare tire outside the van while adding convenient access to your roof rack and rooftop gear.

The system mounts using the factory rear-door hinges and features integrated foot pegs that make climbing around the tire easier, with generous space for boots and outdoor footwear.

It’s a simple idea, executed the Rover way: functional, durable, and purpose-built for how adventure vans are actually used.

Premium Construction

Rover Gear is engineered for long-term use — not simply to look good on the day it’s installed.

The Tire Carrier + Ladder is constructed from lightweight aluminum, delivering an excellent balance of strength, durability, and weight without the unnecessary mass of heavy steel alternatives.

We also carefully select the hardware used throughout the system. Rover uses automotive-grade, OEM-quality fasteners and mounting components selected for strength, reliability, and long-term durability. Protective anti-corrosion coatings help defend critical hardware against moisture, rain, snow, road spray, salt, dirt, and years of exposure to the elements.

From the structure to the smallest fastener, every component is selected with long-term performance in mind.

Built to Look Good for Years

Exterior van accessories live in a demanding environment. Sun, rain, snow, road salt, dirt, and changing temperatures can quickly expose the difference between a product engineered for durability and one designed primarily around cost.

Rover takes a different approach.

Our exterior products feature a durable finish engineered for years of outdoor exposure and are backed by an industry-leading 10-year no-fade finish warranty.

That means you can adventure with confidence knowing your Rover Gear is built to maintain its appearance instead of fading, corroding, or showing premature wear after only a few seasons outdoors.

Industry-Leading Warranty

We build Rover Gear for the long haul, and we stand behind it.

Every Rover Tire Carrier + Ladder is backed by:

  • 5-Year Product Warranty
  • 10-Year No-Fade Finish Warranty

Because premium adventure gear should still look good and perform the way it should years after installation.

Why Customers Choose Rover Vans

Designed by Van People, for Van People

The Rover Tire Carrier + Ladder was one of the products born from our own experience traveling and building adventure vans.

We wanted more usable space inside the van without sacrificing something as essential as a full-size spare. The answer was to move the spare outside and integrate it with something else every adventure van can use — easy access to the roof.

That same philosophy continues across Rover Gear today: solve real problems, use quality components, and build products we would trust on our own vans.

Better materials. Better hardware. Better protection. Built the Rover way.
