WHITE TOP ADVENTURES REAR DOOR LADDER & TIRE CARRIER (TRANSIT 2015+) - ALUMINUM COMBO

At West Coast Vans, we know the Transit is the "Swiss Army Knife" of vans, and your storage should be just as versatile. The White Top Adventures® Transit Combo is one of the few on the market that works with both factory hinge types, so you don't have to swap hardware just to carry a spare. Whether you’re running a stock 2WD or a lifted 2023+ Transit Trail, this rack moves that bulky spare tire out from under the chassis and gives you easy access to your roof rack. Ask Us Product Questions Anytime—we’re based in San Clemente and have seen these installed on every Transit configuration imaginable!

WCV EXPERT TIP Transit rear doors are notoriously thin compared to other vans. Pro Tip: When you’re drilling the holes for the third mounting point, "measure twice, drill once" is the golden rule. We also recommend removing the "HD" or "AWD" badges on the rear door for a perfectly flush fitment of the mounting brackets. If you’re nervous about taking a drill to your van, watch the updated install video below—it covers the new loop-style tire support bar that replaced the older square washer design.

Builder Note: The latest version of this rack features an updated "loop-style" tire support. It’s significantly stronger than previous versions and handles the extra weight of heavy off-road tires with zero flex.
