A quick video tutorial on how to remove the spare tire from a 2009 - 2021 Dodge Ram.
More automotive DIY information available at www.ProgramYourRemote.com/
Where is the spare tire located on a 2009 - 2021 Dodge Ram?
The spare tire is located underneath the bed of the Ram. You will first need to remove the tools located under the front passenger seat in order to remove the spare tire.
Removing The Spare Tire
1. Remove the spare tire before attempting to jack up the truck. Attach the lug wrench to the extension tubes with the curved angle facing away from the vehicle.
2. Remove the protective cover over the access hole for the winch mechanism by sliding the cover upward.
Access Hole Cover Location
After using the jack and tools, always reinstall them in the original carrier and location. While driving you may experience abrupt stopping, rapid acceleration or sharp turns. A loose jack, tools, bracket or other objects in the vehicle may move around with force, resulting in serious injury.
3. Insert the extension tube through the access hole between the lower tailgate and the top of the bumper and into the winch mechanism tube.
4. Rotate the lug wrench handle counterclockwise until the spare tire is on the ground with enough cable slack to allow you to pull it out from under the vehicle.
Rotating The Lug Wrench Handle
5. Pull the spare tire out from under the vehicle to gain access to the spare tire retainer.
Pulling The Spare Tire Out
6. Lift the spare tire with one hand to give clearance to tilt the retainer at the end of the cable.
Gaining Access To The Retainer
7. Pull the retainer through the center of the spare tire wheel.

Every time I buy a new vehicle, the first thing I do is drive straight home and learn how to jack up and change the tire. NO two vehicles were ever the same. The worst is the MINI Cooper. It's a pain in butt trying to align the pad with the jacking points on the car. VW makes it easier: just line it up with the vertical fence under the chassis and up it goes.

Dude! You are awesome for posting this. Bought my truck new in 2017, and never gave much thought to having to change a flat. At 63 years of age, I have changed so many I assumed it would be straight forward when the time came. So naturally went to the owner’s manual and it was useless for really explaining the lowering of the spare. The key points you provided were inserting the flared end at an angle and turning that bracket 90 degrees. No mention of either in the manual. Seriously, people like yourself restore my faith in humanity. Many thanks!

Getting ready for a trip next week and thought I'd run thru some details. Good thing I did. Spare was flat and the tool kit release nut was frozen. I strongly suggest that owners do some rehearsal. That retaining nut under the seat can be a butterfly nut that is one-piece on a threaded shaft that runs down through the floor into a bolster. The threads will be rusted and can be very hard or impossible to turn. I had to use channel locks to get a hold on the ears and get it turning. If it's a hex nut, be sure you have a wrench to fit or it might not be going anywhere. If yours has the solid shaft, you should take it out and clean the threads and coat them with bearing grease. Save yourself additional heartache when you're on your knees in the rain somewhere. Keep a small flashlite to spot the square nut that the sectioned rod end drives onto. Feeling for it the dark is no bueno because the rod sections are loose and it's hard to get a feel for where the end is inside the body - unless you've done it before. The little square hole next to the port is a good spot to shine the light into while you sight down the rod thru the port. Simple. Very helpful video. Thank you.

Thank you @OutnBacker! Going on a road trip and checked out what you say here. I had to use penetrating oil and used a screw driver for leverage on that "wing nut" for practice. NOI WAY I would have gotten that loose by hand. Thanks for the heads up!

Just a tip, if you have locking lug nuts you may have a lock on your spare as well we ran into this. There will be a star pattern instead of a nut where you stick the rod in to lower the tire. There should also be a piece in your glove box with your lug key that will fit into your flare end and you insert that into your lowering device.

Not sure on actual the max. weight but it's a metal winch and chain so I wouldn't worry about a couple extra pounds - as long as the aftermarket wheel still fits up under the vehicle

Is there a way to secure the spare to make it more difficult for a casual thief to steal? It doesn’t look like locking lug nuts or anything like that can be attached.
@PYR-Auto
@PYR-Auto 2 года назад
maybe you can find a lockable cover to go over the access hole? Im not sure if the ones that come on the regular rams ( not ram classic ) lock or not.
@dakrt82

If your truck is a few years old good luck turning that nut, especially if you live in a cold climate where the roads get salted. Had a flat in my 2013 Ram a couple years ago. Tried to drop the spare down and that nut was completely seized up to the point where the rods were twisting and bending. Could't get it to break loose. Didn't have enough leverage with those cheap rods that come with the jack. I've always thought this was a poorly designed system but yet every year truck that comes out still has this set up. Luckily I was home and the tire went flat over night or I would have been stranded somewhere. Just a tip: Now in my new Ram I lower the spare and raise it back up a couple times a year just to keep that nut moving so it doesn't seize up like my in last truck.

Apparently me and my wife just got screwed. We bought a 2016 big horn in 2017 and it was the rental version truck, had 13000k miles on it. Apparently it had a flat previously and they never put the star tup extension piece back in. I callesnthe service department to get a new one they said they are all unique and I'd have to pay to remove the star lock and install a new one and buy a new star tip kit. Is this true? Are they all unique star tips?

I can't say on a 2017 big horn specifically but I have had similar issues on other vehicles where the unique wheel lock was lost and needed to be removed and a new one installed

What is the piece with the curve that you didn't use for?
@PYR-Auto
@PYR-Auto 3 года назад
That’s part of the jack handle - the curved end hooks onto the loop that’s on the jack

Owned my truck for 4 years now. Pulled out the jack just to do some preventive maintenance and "learn" how it all worked so I'd be prepared under combat conditions. Well here I am! I know...its in the manual but who reads directions these days.

The flat tire wont fit back on the reserve spot. The hole on the middle of your actual wheel is too small for the metal piece on the hoist end to fit through.

the tool does not fit in to the lowering socket, any ideas? when i peer into the hole on the bumper, it looks like a tamper proof lug nut but the female end..... at a loss

if it has a wheel lock (tamper proof) nut on it there may be the "key" for it in the glovebox

@@PYR-Auto yeah i found that in a comment afterwards. Too bad the previous owner/dealer didnt leave the key there. Had to take the flat wheel to get repaired while the truck sat on jack stands.
