Do you get a cradle for spare wheel with 18” wheels?

If you buy a T6.1 with the 18” Palmerston alloys I understand that you then do not have a spare wheel, and instead just get a tyre inflation kit. (Reason being an 18” wheel is too wide for the cradle underneath the van.)

However, does anyone know if the van will still have the cradle for a spare?

I have ordered with the Palmerston alloys but still want to carry a 17” steel spare for the remote trips where a tyre shop might be some distance away.

Thanks in advance.
 
i doubt it you will need the carrier

No, you don’t get the cradle. But it can be bought from the Dealership and maybe even fitted for free.
 
Thanks all. Thought that might be the case.
